EP Civic SI with an RSX front-end

r/AwesomeCarMods - RSX front end on a Civic (EP3)


r/AwesomeCarMods - RSX front end on a Civic (EP3)


Someone restored an Oldsmobile Omega SportOmega and gave it an AWD Saab 9-3 drivetrain swap.

Safari all the Porsches!

It's not bad, it's well done and a good colour for it, but comes across like something Richard Hammond would show up with for a Top Gear special.

I honestly like the RSX front end better than the stock front end. It works surprisingly well.

A lowered street truck with beefy all-terrain tires is not something I expected to see:

Looks like ass, but I think those first gen wheels would look a treat on a standard second gen Blazer or even a ZR2.
 
They're the wrong wheels but I think the size is just right. I prefer blackwalls but they look like balloons in the standard size and would not suit the Caddy. I also appreciate the metal roof.

Things get really odd when you pop the hood.

That mill appears to be straight out of an early Lightning, albeit with a little bit of dress-up.

Would legit daily that, lol

Also, the 'Fordillac' name was used in the late 40s/early 50s when the ultimate hot rodding trick was swapping in a Cadillac OHV V8 into your Ford hot rod. How times have changed :dopey:

I love it but I think I'd keep and build the Olds. The gas block is a fine foundation and aluminum heads and intake would probably get it within 50lbs of the Windsor in addition to pumping up power. Plus 350hp from an Olds 350 feels a lot different than from a Chevy 350 by virtue of the shorter stroke, and the Lightning was originally...230hp?

I mean, yeah, but it wouldn't be as freakish then haha

I'm on the fence. The wire wheels on it definitely aren't my thing, but they're not terrible in this size. Any bigger and I wouldn't hesitate to drop it in the questionable modifications thread.

Wires on anything built after the mid sixties are definitely questionable.
 
This was built for the San Diego Police Department. Is it odd? Yes, but I absolutely love it. Lowriders will always be my favourite.

Bobbed Tacoma, which is odd enough, but it also has a shell.

I wonder if the shell was originally intended for a double cab with its shorter bed or if the shell was shortened along with the bed.
