According to the description it has a Kraftek frame, a four speed Harley Davidson transmission, all powered by a 2.5 liter Alfa Romeo V6

Those wheels make me think of star trek for some reason.
3 Spokes get a raw deal, often deservedly.

But these actually work on the Civic. Hard edges on the car with a lot of visual triangles.

There's something odd going on at the back for sure, like the rear bumper is missing ?

Either way, it looks cack. tyre to arch gap, wheel size & offset, tyre fit and so on..

Both BMW's very nice.
There is absolutely nothing nice about that Civic.
The car, and everything that's been done to it, is absolutely gash.

My 9-5 Aero.......................











Only running around 320bhp at the moment but the corresponding torque means once in it's stride it's very amusing. Running billies, eibachs, strut brace, fully poly-bushed, maptun 6 pots. Plan is one day to be able to afford a quaife cool
Love it.

Citroën, professionally adapted for film work, part of a film shoot using the Barcelona - San Cugat road, mirador, wish I had time to stop and get a few more shots.

Spain is surprisingly tight on vehicle mods, everything has to be "Homologado" and registering something like this, getting insurance, is not easy.

Indeed they are, one chap on the mustang owners forum had a 'time of it' getting a 2007 Roush Mustang registered in Spain when he moved out there. A Shelby or SVT Mustang is seen as a factory car (all but a few are assembled on the production line at Dearborn) naturally anything marked as a Ford official part (including Ford Racing) is allowed. Roush on the other hand is not he had to go through a lengthy approval process to get it registered, a Shelby would have been a form to fill in.

Very unusual supercharger (or is it some sort of weird shaft-driven turbocharger?) setup on that Prelude.
Nothing unusual about it, its a centrifugal S/C rather than a roots or twin screw type. It does behave a bit more like a turbo charger than a roots type S/C, they tend to whistle and whoosh rather than scream like a roots type.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercharger
It was more the drive shaft running across the front of the engine than the 'charger itself I was commenting on. I suppose on a transverse engined car it makes sense though, since the belts are all at the non-gearbox end and all the free space is above the gearbox.

I love a Saab, but I don't miss that "3 spoke wheel" trend.
