Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

I love the paint job on that. Very Transformers, but in a good way.

I would also love to build a Porsche speedster kit with a stage 2 WRX engine. just not sure how to get air to the TMIC. :? might have to settle for a 2.5 NA motor...

There is no settling involved with a 2.5 NA!

Yeah, that drift orange STi relocated the IC to the trunk and had scoops on the side. They were never going in a straight l;ine long enough to get air over the IC since it was always going sideways.

I guess I'm going to be the only one who will have to say NO to the look. The nose is a bit long, it looks a bit like the Ferrari Enzo but not as nice. The rear looks just fine however.

The IC is a big question mark for me. How do they route air into it?

All that aside, 200+ whp in a vehicle that weighs under 2400lbs. Sweet!

yeah, I'm not crazy about the paint job and the nose isn't quite what I would do, but I sill love the idea after reading about that one guy's project in SubySport a while back. that car had the stock WRX TMIC in the 914's stock engine location. not sure if that provided enough air flow for the long-term...
