rotary is 1.3 liter

your right 600hp fwd are totally stupid :S

LOL...oh, but I've been corrected for that ignorance before myself, while in rotation the displacement of a rotary engine is more than 1.3 liters...and most people would agree that it is ALOT easier to hook up 600hp in a RWD application than it is in FWD one...

Come on man, u knew that ---- was gonna get flamed here...That car is extremely sick, and even though it IS running an ESCORT engine it CAN'T be an ESCORT because an ESCORT is built by FORD not HONDA...Now if it was a B16 or 18 powered 93 CivicHatch(car which never came with a B series engine, not in the US anyway) and it only ran in the 11 or 12 second range THAT would BE WAAAAY COOLER cause it's a CivicHatch and ANYTHING OTHER THAN A HONDA IS A POS, even if it does run a 9.1 sec1/4mile...

I personally think that has got to be the biggest BULLSHIT i have ever heard. Its not the fact if its a Honda,Ford, Chevorlet,Nissan or whatever. That accomplishment is takings something that has less that 100 hp from the factory and imporving it beyond belief. The small D-series civics who are puttin out double the power from the factory i bow down to you for that, its a great accomplishment.
BUt isnt this what this site is about, making ---- faster and better no matter the manufacture or is this a HONDA RULES ALL website?

It must be nice just to go get to have anything imaginable for a honda at your local pepboys, or autozone off the shelf. They make bearly anything for an escort, hell we got to use DSM parts for a way to turbocharge our ----. Any moron can bolt ---- up but it take some real knowledge to acutally find this kinda ---- out and make it work on a platform it was never ment to see.

Re: Edit: This car is not an Escort.

^^^^ Dude, that was the point I was tryin' to make myself...Sarcasm owns u....

Re: Edit: This car is not an Escort.

u cant really get sarcasm on the internet.. yea it got me...

but there are people with that kinda mind... sadly

Re: Edit: This car is not an Escort.

YEAH, alot of those ppl are here...I think it's a cool ass car, even if it has been HEAVILY MODIFIED a) because it is something different b) as you said, alot of the stuff on that car was probaly custom fabricated, one-off parts...

Re: Edit: This car is not an Escort.

defently.... i go the turbocharged 1.9 ( ford motor) with the DSM setup .. defently everything is custom fabed
