sup guys, maybe you all can help me out here...i remember reading on some message boards about a messed up honda prelude with a turbo sticking stragiht out of the hood....it was really ghetto and funny looking...unfortunately i cant remember where to find those pictures. im pretty sure someone on here posted the link to it...and i really want to laugh at it again!
maybe it will spark some memories....it was an old prelude....some kid had the car....cut his hood open with tin snips and popped a turbo out of the hole...
anyone know where i can find that car? __________________ 1995 318ti Active

It was in Sport Compact Car's october issue. According the the article the guy that did it said "Boosting without packaging constraints is the next big thing". If that's the next big thing I guess I will be uncool as I would never in my right mind do that to ANY car. I wonder is anyone has tried to steal his turbo... | | | | | 11-18-2005, 06:50 AM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: cary, nc Posts: 2,259 |

hehe figures. I haven't seen it on the internet. I've been looking for it but haven't found anything yet. I wouldn't mind adding a comment or two on that message board though  | | | | | 11-18-2005, 06:58 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: cary, nc Posts: 2,259 |
man i was pretty certain it was this site...somoene was talking about doing some fancy rigging with an intercooler and someone posted it as a warning and said make sure you dont end up like this: "civic turbo ugliness"
or something like that...it was a long while ago...ive searched the forum with everything i could think of and i cant find it :-( __________________ 1995 318ti Active

Looks like a leaf blower going into the engine bay. Man what an ugly turbo setup. The dude should slap some bondo on those rear fenders....ouch! __________________  | | | | | 11-18-2005, 07:42 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: cary, nc Posts: 2,259 |

I googled it and it was on another forum that had a link to it. I have been reading all the posts and I can't stop laughing, and i'm only on page 13!!! The thread has a list of forums it has reached, and even the ford tempo forum people are making fun of it hehe... | | | | | 11-18-2005, 05:18 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Fort Collins, CO Posts: 1,305 |
