I'm so friggin happy

I just thought I'd let you all in my latest epiphany cause it has to do with my car. :)

I've always been stressing with the fact that I wanted to turn this thing into a show car but I also want speed thrown in the mix. But do you how hard it is to turn this:

into a 13 second laser tripper? It would take WAY too much money and all the stuff on my car has been all about manual labor, not money. Not only that, I'm in college, I care more about gas mileage right now than stoplight drags. So of course the solution just falls in my lap as usual.

I've been heading out to major shows recently so I got the FULL ON show theme in my head goin. I'm gonna shave my rear end and french some stuff and do sum funky shit with my hood this week to prepare for the Lowrider Scrapin Tour in Tampa this Sunday. BUT WHAT ABOUT PERFORMANCE? Then my dad shows up and presents with an idea, How would you like to build a replica of this bad boy right here:

It wouldn't be totally Cobra, the chasis is but the suspension, engine and drivetrain would be all Mustang 5.0 parts. Which is fine by me, a 5.0 with major work and dual straight pipes sounds VERY friggin tempting. So why not turn the civic into a FULL ON show car? And have the Cobra as my speed car? It makes so much sense to me it's scary. This dude at the show today with a flamed CRX was convincing me to get a small two pump, two battery setup for the civ (Major bling factor, major racing nono). While my best friend is drooling over being able to help me piece together a 10 second V8 trailer queen that my dad would be "sponsoring". So what do you think? :flash:

I'm still gonna get a DOHC swap tho, my engine is nearing 100 grand and it's some extra show points :D

u mean a kit car? what would the chasis be from? some people use feiros as a donor.

Rene, whos drooling over the V8 -- Robbie?

o yea, that is one beautiful machine, if by chance you make/buy one, respect it

Yep a kit. The chasis would be included in the kit. The suspension and drivetrain is Stang.

Fuck robbie, all he wants is switches and 4 15's (He's buying a mid-80's Regal already juiced). I'm talking about Carlos in Miami. My V8 buddy.

Not only that but my dad would build it with me. I'll keep this until I die and then pass it on to the kids.

Thats a sweet ass idea dude! :D Glad to hear that ur dad would sponsor u, wish I could have shit like that :rolleyes: :)

Oh please dont tell me hes buying that ugly crap from that dude that works at that Custom Sound place with the whole backfire/flame thing that we saw up at the dB drag... :rolleyes:

If I had that oppurtunity I would jump on it in a heartbeat. That Cobra kit car is gonna be badass. Plus you get to keep your civic to toy around with. That's good stuff.

I think everyone knows my love for the V8. I'd drive down to flordia just to drive it. Nothing like raw power and a Shelby body. :)

that'd be dope..
my friend back in NC has a 'stag w/ a 351 winsor in it... and something like 12 grand worth of engine work. its so big he cant find a hood that fits. my brother said he went for a ride with him, if he stomps on the gas, the car immediatly spins sideways ;)
pooooooowwwwwwwahhhhhh

wish my hatchie did that ;)

wtf????? thats sick dude.. we dont need to hear about that. :confused: :apuke:

Nope, not that one but a similar one. The flames thing is easy to do :D
