That is pretty sweet but how hard is it to put a price in a FS ad :lol: ? Then he says only call if you're serious. IMO the price is a major deciding factor to whether or not I'm serious.

Crankwalk was very low percentage. Problem was whenever somebody "fixed" a walked motor, it walked again. This was out of a 98 GSX, so it has the redesigned bearings and better flowing crank, so it would not be an issue to really worry about. (note the lack of a CAS.) Looks like they did a quality job with the conversion, too bad they do not list a starting price.

Normally; I think swaps like this are stupid, because Honda Engines and Transmissions are bad ass, but this is pretty cool!

To someone reading this post right it was a blue 92 civic hatch with a 98 eclipse 7 bolt AWD swap. It was awesome!!
I am still in contact with the guy so if some one is really interested let me know.

Back in the day I would have thought it was overpriced. But since I recently finished putting my colt together I now realize how much time and money one can spend on something like this. And mine is na and fwd. Plus decent civic hatch (92-95) shells fetch way more money than a 3g csm shell. I doubt you could build that guys car for $7500. I bet he got so many lowball offers that he pulled the ad though. That or people telling him how silly it was to put a Mitsu engine in a Honda.

The car looked really clean. He even swapped in the Eclipse dash and it looked right!!


When I brought my car to the tuner he offered me $10,000 to leave it there!

Absolutely!!!

But after 500-600 hours and around $9,000. I decided to enjoy the car. I hope I made a good decision. 10,000 would of been a nice down payment on a wicked white EVO, hmmm....................

Sweet.

Worth every penny if all the equipment is as advertised.

Just the fact that everything AWD, is already installed, component replacement would now be at the bottom of the scale of your daily life worries.
First world problem.
