Only thing I liked was the rear wing setup because that was hella creative other than that it was typical rice which I dont like but w/e. When I saw Jojo there I expected a mean *** motor from him but suprise it was nothing..but the owner looked like a dirty ricer.
I missed it. I had much better things to do.

as far as overhauling goes, im disappointed. someone compared overhauling to pimp my ride. negative. those shows are nothing alike. pimp my ride is a joke. overhauling was good because they were strictly old skool cars and they built them from a shell. they took muscle cars and other classics that were in need of a restoration and they did it. but now, they took a civic that some kid decided to slap a body kit and a bunch of cheese and a giant tach and is too cheap to paint it. i dont know why they sold out and gave into whats "in". foose himself didnt want to do it. he is usually excited before each car, when this rolled in, he asked for another car. there is enuff shows with sport compacts, why sell out?
and before you guys say **** about honda bashing and blah blah, i dont care if it was a civic or a cav, im talking the change between old skool to new sport compacts. it was a good show cause it was a fresh look at old cars, now its just like the rest of them.

Personaly I think most of the "classic" Muscle cars that have been redone on Overhaulin' have been ruined. They aren't restored to original condition, but turned into these Hot Rods. I'd rather see an old Mustang or Corvette that was a total POS restored to original condition like the cars you see on the Barrett-Jackson auctions. The Civic doesn't look any different then any other one you might see at D-K.

When compared to other overhaulin builds, I think the civic got "cheaped" out...if that makes any sense. This is mostly because they used his tranny and built up his motor. With the other builds, the owners get a brand new engine/tranny.
Worst part of the car: Purple tinted tailights.

stick to the V8's
hahah just kidding, well basically they didnt do much....
body work and rebuilt the GSR motor with the help of JO JO Callos

i was more impressed with the TUNER TRANSFORMATION on the Chevy Cobalt throwing a Turbo on it @ 14lbs pushing 240whp and 280ft-lbs
but whatever......
