An Integra with an S14 front end, Skyline tails, and a big fat NISMO sticker on the front bumper...

Ricers...

What a wanna-be. He could have gotten a real S14 for the price he paid to rice that shit out. I cant stand FWD, then someone trying to make it look like a diferent car from a different company. He should be SHOT!!!

Oh my word! He's even got the Skyline rear badging across the trunk lid. What a moron!

Yes his car is ricer-riffic, BUT i will say this.. if HE was the one who did all the work on it, then my hat goes off to him, b/c everything looks like it was done pretty damn clean

but in the case that he just bought everything and had a shop do all the work.. then he is just another ricer douchebag

That car actually looks pretty good, to bad its a front wheel drive Honda. I wonder how true his clain is to 300+ HP. If that where tru that car would be insane.

I gotta disagree with u guys, thats prolly a show car, and looks pretty damn nice..if it was kept stock looking, and did some conversions, then I'd call it rice, but he went ALL OUT on the car and it does look pretty cool.

If u guys seen a 97ish Prelude here in HI, that has R33 conversion all around, u guys would actually be fooled into believing it was a real R33...VERY VERY SWEET looking....

This is all coming from a guy who doesnt go to car shows, and doesnt care about car looks, I'm more a performance/suspension kinda guy...

if he wanted a nissan why did't he just get one dam it,that's bull Shit , And I also I think it looks like crap.

YankeeDrifterdate not saved · #10

That's kind of cool. I agree with the fact that I would like it much more if he did it himself. Looks alright, nice hp numbers. Wish it was rwd!

200SXXEnotchbck86date not saved · #11

For the money he put into that car, he probably could have bought a real R33.

From the front and side it looks good. Very straight exept the ar$e end. Shame it's a honda.

Yes, it's an all out show car. Yes, whoever did the work did a very very good job. But it's the identity crisis thing that I take issue with. Why take a Honda and make it look like a Nissan, and even put a Nismo sticker on it? That's what makes no sense to me.

If you wanna do something wild with a Honda, put a NSX front end on it or something crazy like that. I'm just not a big fan of cross-breeds...

OK, wouldn't you know it, I read this not just ten minutes before...

K, so I'm going to get gas tonight at the local Arco. I park my Z next to a pump, and what do I see? A Paseo... with an Accord "H" on the hood?!?

OMG :lol:

some non-english speaking lookin latino mtfckr was driving it, it had 14" tri-spokes, 40 series tires, and still had the toyota logo on the trunk. What joy.

For some reason i don't have an insane hatred of hondas like you lot seem to but anyways.
I rather like it. Different and that counts for alot with some things, i got a S12 cos on one else had one and they were cheap just to be different.
Make it rear drive and drift it like one i've seen in a vid, take advantage of the aftermarket for them. As i recall it was a CRV transfer case and a CRV rear end with a locked diff. It was really compact, i liked it.

Websters 46th edition definition of "Rice Rocket"

But having run a body shop for several years, I have to say that it's very clean. Probably one of the cleanest I've seen.

LOL, I don't have a problem with Hondas. I love Hondas (except for the FWD thing). They're like the small block Chevy of the import world. Great aftermarket, super-easy to work on, and fairly cheap.

My whole point with this thread was to say that I thought it was stupid to put Nissan body parts and a NISMO sticker on an Acura! I agree that it's a clean car, and he did a great job on it, but that doesn't change the fact that he's trying to make his Acura look like a Nissan! :laugh:

You can still gets honduhs cheap where you live. Up here they are grosely over priced...PLus the FWD thing, and the fact that most people either want or have one turns me off of it...

give me $10,000 (couldnt imagine 40!) and ill have an s12 w/ 300 hp, and looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor!

Well, I did say "fairly" cheap. Yeah, certain models are pretty overpriced, just about like S13's, but you do a little shopping and you can usually find a decent one. If you stay away from the 96-00 Civics and pretty much any Accord, you can get the 92-95 Civic hatchbacks in good shape for about $2500-$3000, and the 89-91's for around $2000. You can also pick up the 90-93 Integra's (my personal favorite) for about $3000. That way you already have one of the best motors to start with, the B18A1 (non-Vtec "LS" motor).

Mainly the fact I'm not into em is like you, everyone's either got one, or wants one.
