When I was going to an ordinary car dealer I was hoping for a great find as in an old american muscle car or a small hatch on the market. Instead I stumbled upon one ugly riced out Civic Si that the owner seems to have thought it would have made the car speak like a parrot just by making it look like one.
It really had a too big fart cannon and at a test start up, it sounds as if I could have gone for a shit at the bathroom, so I had to tow it onto my borrowed truck. All the intention was to not feel too embarrassed about driving a loud and slow nyan-butt-crack-rainbow-civic during the time. What could this poor car possibly have done towards it´s owner!? 😮
There was one thought in mind that made me buy it for very little cash (it only costed me about 431 dollar when I got the bid lowered from 570 dollar):
How if I could transform this slow overdone riceburner into a powerhouse racing machine or anything that can do unexpected things on a race track?
Pictures of this (cheaply bought) ricer:
At the time I got back to my garage to take a further look on the car, it seemed to have gotten the front bumper replaced with a new one quite recently. As I did take a look on the details, I realized that the car could potentially have hidden damages behind the "freshly" mounted on bumper with seemingly newer paint on. Apart from the body kit and fart can, it had the wrong rims that happens to be from an older Honda Accord. The performance from the engine of the car was just as it was stock.
Some suggestions for how I should re-modify the car would be great. What do you guys think?
My current plans/ideas for mods on it:
My ideas for now would be to swap in a twin turbo/supercharged V6 or a 1.8 Honda B18 with custom made candy made for it (with rear wheel drive for drifting). Other than making this car have a decent performance, I could either restore it to the stock appearance (sleeper) or keep it riced out except for the fart cannon to fool anyone trying to race me (ricer sleeper).
