Ever look at a Honda Accord and think, “That would be a lot better with a V8”? You apparently aren’t alone.
Built using a Pontiac GTO as a donor, this LS-powered Honda Accord features custom subframes front and rear, BC Racing coil-overs, brakes from an ’06 GTO, Holley Terminator system, a standalone ECU and a digital dash.
The seller also …
That's outstanding.
thats berkeleyin sick! Looks very supra-ish.
In reply to Lof8 - Andy :
That's what looked so familiar. Thank you for pointing that out.
Why yes. Yes I do need this.
I'm impressed by the amount of room left in the engine bay of an 80s FWD double-wishbone car
That's cool, i actually like it. But I think i'd like the 06 GTO they cannibalized to build it better. No aircon in Florida is a dealbreaker for me..
Built by a guy that goes by BodeVision on the Youtube machine, it's a nice build. He's a pretty talented body and paint guy.
That's pretty cool - I like it
That first photo gives me serious early-'90s Mustang GT vibes.
As a former owner of an Accord of that generation.... I have no words. It's amazing.
Does anyone know where that hood bump came from?

Toyota Tundra + fiberglass
That's one LS swap I never expected to see, and really didn't expect it to fit as well as it did.
Hada few honda beaters back then , and a nice crx-si. Never liked that body Accord. Till 2 minutes ago!

Is that (I assume) a typo, or have the young 'uns changed that phrase on my, also?

My brother had one–white over blue. No V6 or turbo, though.

No, it was right. It was back when all you had on your desk was a phone and a pad of paper.
The secretary would be told to get him ON the horn or actually; get him ON the phone.

So ummmm, on not in then, yes?

I would hope with the rise of electric HVAC systems we could add that in more often with engine swaps. Maybe even located in a sub-trunk area, with external cooling vent scoops!

I looked into this. They need 24 or 48 volts to be effective. 12v just can't be made to work unless if was an absolutely tiny space.
