Theres a kid in Hamilton with a fast turbo minivan... I keep hearing from friends that he races all the time, and has a loud BOV. Personally I find that funny that someone would actually waste time and modify a minivan, to each their own.

Many people would say its a waste of time and money to modify a civic because its an econo box, I used to be one of them. There is lots of support for turbo mini's believe it or not so they can be cheaply and easily built into fast beaters/sleeps/daily drivers/etc and still go to the track on the weekends. The added bonus is that they get no attention from police. But as you said to each there own, if you think about it putting money into any car is stupid as you will never get back anywhere close to what you spend but if you have fun then thats the real point.

With this crazy *** bov and its converted to 5spd

I dont think they made stock 5spd caravan TURBOS, but I have seen a caravan c/v (the panel van) with a 5spd trans, special order from factory

Believe me they did make a 5 speed turbo voyager, it was ontario built and so rare that you will likely never see one in your lifetime.
