    I like the way it looks. I know it is suppose to be original since it is a classic but I am a classic myself and like the looks of it.

    It's on Ebay starting bid @ $4,995.00 with 3 days left.

    I have to agree, I am not too crazy about this guy - I can appreciate the work put into it though totally.

    ^^ No way!

    Even in racing, it's hard to improve on Honda's body lines from factory. If you're adding any areo bits to a Honda/Acura other than a lip, chances are you're f*ckin up.

    To each his own. I just don't think that the old Hondas are anything special to begin with. I understand that many people do, but I think it's just more out of the fact that you respect its heritage. It's cool though, no hate.

    No hate here either but how many do you see on the road everyday? I don't think the old Honda's are "special" at all but they are kinda cool and definitely different looking. I like this one because it is different and I like different when it comes to car, etc. You will never see another one like that anywhere.

    I have never liked being like everyone else. Somehow I like Mustangs and that is not in any way shape or form different. Too many azzholes like me has one.

    i have to agree. when it comes to cars, being different is a good thing as long as its done with taste. too many people try to "personalize" their cars and it ends up looking worse than stock. in this case, i def. like the idea of what they are trying to achieve. all it needs is a set of badass wheels and a s2000 motor and drivetrain.

    Good guess.

    They were all FWD as far as I know.

    This lil thing has some kick to it. Check out the details.

    This is correct - it's a FWD car. The car is more a screamer due to it's ability to turn, the motor buiild is quite mild for one you can do to a 1200. The tire/wheel combo is not for looks, it's for lightweight and making the car grip in turns as well. Decent little package - not yet a racecar though... which is perfect for most people.

    Not necessarily special, but it is a pretty unique car. I drive around and see no other like it. I get thumbs up and props from people of all ages. Older folks that had one when they first got married or something. Middle aged folks that remember their parents having one or this being their very first car. Younger folks that know what kind of car it is. The reason why people seem to make it to be "special" is because you don't just drive out on the road and see one.

    Mine is NOT getting personalized. It is being redone to stock. Later, QD.
