I think I might do the classic flames on the sides of the headlights... but the RUBBIN' IS RACIN'... I'm thinking of making that a small and discreet winsheild banner... and I'll reverse it, Ambulance style... or should I say ECNALUBMA style!

V6 doesn't always mean a quicker time than an I4.  The Esteem has a manual tranny, and much lighter weight.  I'm not saying it would win, but there is more to the equation than how many cylinders the engine has.


A 2000 Civic Si is easily quicker than most any V6 sedan of the same era.  Said V6 sedans had anywhere from 3.0 to 3.8 liters.  The Honda had 1.6 liters of displacement.

I tried to check the FART forums, but that thing is loading so slowly right now.  What's up with that?  Also, does Jim Jackson need to make a comeback?

Yes, definitely.


Also, you should fabricate a pushbar for it a la the one that was on that Civic in the other thread.

I do want that pushbar. Unfortunately, since I no longer have a garge, I have no place for welding. I suppose I could find one for another car and just retrofit it somehow.

I agree with you on all points... except I do want to paint my steelies. My current set does not match; I have 3 black and one silver. I want them all dark green to match the car. Then I'll go with the chrome lugnutz.

It's nice... for a minivan... it's just huge, and we don't need that much space anymore. I wish it had the new more powerful engine too, it's not all that quick...though probably faster than the Esteem ;)
