It would probably be a good idea to change your member name to something normal.

You'll self regulate yourself if you use your real name as your screen name.

With the name you are using now, I really cannot guarantee that a moderator isn't going to ban you because the individual believes that if you have been banned once, you should probably be banned again.

nice to see you come back. Liken the choices on the lips.

Smoke4206 · 08-22-2007, 06:39 AM

Is the lotus running? if you have given up on that project may i suggest trading in that shell for partial payment on a(n) Ariel Atom

that would be a great secondary driver for the civette

Oh and welcome back the Civette is looking great wish it could/would make a trip to the northwest

Ariel Atom is an awesome vehicle (until they took the Civic Type-R motor out for a GM) - wonder how the Civette would compare to it?? i know the Atom is pretty much carbon fiber with a fast motor (light as a feather)..but a hatch with an LS1...could be interesting...lets get Top Gear on this one

I'm pretty certain Ariel offers both versions...the GM and Honda.

And Top Gear doesn't like the 5.7L Corvette that much...although the 7.0L is a different story.

Great work Civette.

Guys, what happened to the original thread?

It does appear to be twisted...kind of? Maybe it is just the camera angle?

Civette · 08-22-2007, 07:44 AM

camera angle....and made like that a little for a reason....lol

ek forever guy · 08-22-2007, 07:51 AM

So what's with the lotus parts? What parts did you use?

Probot · 08-22-2007, 08:05 AM

suspensiones (yea thats spanish for suspension) - that much is for sure

did you use any other pieces?

If it is originally like that, could it be because of the twist of the shaft? Tis all I can think of for a reason

TooManyTickets · 08-22-2007, 10:31 AM

You put Lotus shocks on the hatch?
how is that going to work ? the lotus is a very light car? whats the diference in weight between the two?
I take it you know what you doing but it just sounds funky

nWilk666 · 08-22-2007, 02:05 PM

i like it. great work. My corvette loving dads gonna love it when i show him this one, his pride all chopped and prepped ready to go into a civic !!!!!

Lol, can't go wrong with a timeless solid color. Will the wheels still be chromed, or are you planning on doing something with their color as well to go totally blacked out?

<<<Fan of the color

ek forever guy · 08-22-2007, 08:34 PM
