Blown 383, D60 front D70 Rear, 38" Boggers, that ought to keep you busy for a while.....


Aw hell, just do what every other civic owner has done and slam it 3 inches and put on a fart pipe that makes it sound like my dirt bike.

Do it right and mount a Caddy Northstar under the civics hood. If it fits let me know what you had to do so I can do my 88.

Ya'll know it would look with a set of swampers settin' on it!  Even my worn out 35 tsl would climb on top of it.

A set of boggers would look kinda cool under a ricer. The only problem is, not enough power to turn them.

I'd like to convert a geo metro into a rockcrawler. Imagine the looks it would get.

Start with the engine because you cant have a nice looking car that will clunk around. first just clean it up and put a new engine cover on. eventually you can put new headers and cams on. another good idea is to put a new pulley system on, that can actually change the aceleration and feel when you are driving it. there are so many things you can do just work hard and you'll be really happy with the results. ohhh and a turbo would be nice to because of the civics HP. if you want i can help you more just post something else.

Id buy a nice 4x4 F-150...a new one. Then a two axle trailer to pull it around with to the car showes.......after you add alot of blood, sweat and tears to the car.

why is there talk of hopping up a civic on a 4x4 forum the only thing about civics that should be here is  how fun it is to run over them


I'd try it if I were you  it's quiet gratifying  my frined bought one for 50 bucks  and I went over it no problem with 35's we now call it the pancake
