Why would anyone even put Civic and drifting in the same sentence...aside from Civics cannot drift. Later, QD.

The shots were taken at a drift event in Memphis, so he was at least attempting to drift in some of those.

So in actuality, this is a Vette drifting and not a Civic. Later, QD.

Haha, I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.

Fast Shutter speeds stop motion, not emphasize it.

guy built it to get his mind off his divorce payed $1500 for the donor car so not that much money was wasted and i wouldnt classify it as a waste anyways
§treet_§peed
11-05-2007, 07:43 PM

Alan®
11-05-2007, 07:55 PM
whatever man look at the power to weight ratio some suspension up grades this thing would be a beast

It was actually a pretty inexpensive build due to him getting all the materials really cheaply and doing all the work himself. I think he kept it under $5k the last I heard.

Also, to be honest, Civics are a dime a dozen and the donor vette was wrecked. I consider it a very original job and I think it will be a total beast when he gets it dailed in perfectly. No waste there.
