Insane; crazy; audacious; hazardous; call it whatever you want but we’re totally sucked into this conversion that concerns squeezing a 2000 Chevrolet Corvette drivetrain into a… 1996 Honda Civic hatchback! To make a long story short, in order to get his mind off his divorce, this guy decided to spend some time on two written off vehicles that were laying around his garage. Like a modern King Solomon, he decided to cut his babies into two and make something never before seen: a rear-wheel drive Honda Civette V8 LS1. Even though the task seems impossible, he’s determined to complete it without spending a buck.
Undeniably, the most intriguing part of the conversion is the engine that has to be fitted far back. The controversial owner says he used the entire Corvette drivetrain -front suspension, steering, rear suspension minus the subframe. What tops it all is the fact that he’s trying to fit several elements from the Vette’s interior into the Civic’s cabin! Utterly crazy and we love it. We’ll return on this unique project as soon as its finished. Follow the jump for more pictures.
Thanks for the tip Billy!

Thanks for the tip!!
I seen your car at the track, It's hot and so are you Travis, visit my page and leave a message.
I want more finished pics!
Not sure why anyone would do this. Why would anyone spend the time and resources on a civic; at the end of the day it is a civic not a vett.
At the same time it sounds like something I would do. Id like to see to run some times.
I've been thinking about doing this with the all aluminum LS2 for a long time... but you made it a reality. Great job. Now go smoke some of those "fast" hondas for us!
Okay so I am not a huge fan of imports, but this car was definitely something else. I saw it run while we were in Memphis with the Speed Channel. Pretty Sweet!
Hey can you send me an email to rm125guy01@aol.com i had a few questions about your project. Thanks
