At first glance I thought another riced out teg, then I saw the pic of the rear wheels spinning. That's a ton of work, I wonder if it runs well. I remember seeing an s2k swapped Civic that ran worse than a stock s2k.

he needs to do something to make that hood flush with the rest of the body, I know he had to do something to make the hood somewhat closed with the bigger motor, but all that work put into it you'd think he would've devised away to make it flush.

The funny thing is, they tried to make a good showoff video, but there's a damn belt squeaking.

of course it would have been easier to buy a mustang. people that do unique swaps and things like this aren't going for the easy way out, they are trying to be unique.

I can appreciate the work that went into it, not my taste at all, but I am sure it's fun as hell to drive

It runs great from what I have seen from the numerous meets around Houston that he goes to

maybe if he takes off those stupid hood extenders and lowers it, this might actually look good...but it is a nice project and well crafted, i just don't think its quite done yet.

To all the comments about buying a Mustang...he did. This is a Mustang with an Integra shell modified to fit. This is such a ridiculous Frankenstein car if you look through the build thread

The mustang floor firewall and motor are going in the integra body-

The cabin is full of smoke from the burnout.

I can't get jiggy with this. The swap is cool, and I can appreciate the work, but aesthetically it makes me sad.
