"Transformers, more than meets the eye!"

So, what do you think? It's an Integra!

As I am somewhat impressed with this and what I have done to my Prelude is nothing compared to this Skyline conversion on a Integra, this really is nothing.

You should see what some of the Fiero-based kit car builders do. Even further than that, you guys should see what some old-school Hot-Rodders do....and I'm not talking about the 60's, 70's, and early 80's muscle car rodders.

Once I find some links, I'll shoot them to you all.....and just wait 'til next summer...you guys heard of the the Acura NSX-T, well I may be the first with the 4th gen Prelude-T (or the Prelude del Sol). I may even take it a notch crazier and "Rod" the top 6-8 inches; in other words, cut the roof off and re-weld it on 6 to 8 inches lower.

You people are not impress. That's pretty good to me. If you just take a quick looks at it, no one would of guess that it's an Integra. The only way to suspect that it's an Integra is from the big WHEELS. Usually, GTR(or any rwd-powerful cars) will use offset on their ride and those rims are not made for wide tires.

Shing,

If I targa the top, yes I will weld on some extra bracing as well as cross bracing from underneath.

If and when I chop and drop the top my driving position won't be affected too much. The stock seat seats very low, and I am always "flossing" when I drive the Lude. What I mean to say is that I drive it with a "mad gangsta-lean"....the seat back is reclined (I have long arms).

Once I go either route, I probably won't drive the car too much. As it used to be, I didn't used to use the Lude as a daily....it used to be my garage queen. After the last incident with the tire falling off while I was driving, I thought that I might as well get some use out of the car because you never know when something devestating may happen. I have put more miles on my Lude in the past two and half weeks that I have put on 1 and half years prior this "wheel falling off" incident.

FYI and something to thing about,

Back in the day, it was cool to drive a chopped and dropped Hot Rod hunched over like Igor, now it's exaclty opposite.
