Oh well, to each his own...

Yeah.. I know. But I can dream right? Hah...

I admit, it's not my car (see signature). I must say though.. your reactions have been truly priceless.

Unfortunately, it doesn't change the fact that this car is sill for real. Someone out there has a ... interesting sense of style.

Ugly as hell + 37K miles = fairly cheap. I think it's a base model too.

It could make someone a good 20B conversion... hmmmm..

When doing the conversion you lose the DSC which is why it's not a bad idea to start with a base model anyway.

If you did most of the work yourself..

Pay 14K for car, sell engine for 2K (maybe), Paint car 1K (maybe), buy 20B for $3K, rebuild for $1K, fabricate mounts & install parts $3K maybe..

Rough guess $20K - done if you did most of the work yourself. That does not include turbo, intercooler, and other turbo parts. Probably another $3K to $5K on top of that but you could take your time with that part.

Maybe rgonza could chime in on those figures. I'm just guessing. I could be way off. It sounds cool though.

It reminds me of this car that some kid at my school had. It was a 1997 Honda civic coupe. The front half was painted bright yellow, and in the back it was blue. The yellow and blue transitioned with a ocean-spray-ish pattern. In the back, and only the back, he had something like 15 inch spinners. He had a MASSIVE wing spoiler that was easily 2 feet high.

But back on topic, that car is...well, attention getting, I suppose.
