Beats me. I'd have to first know what a B18C1 is I guess.

It's the third gen Integra GS-R engine. Usually when someone takes an engine from one car and puts it in a different chassis, they call it a hybrid, but it is a purely gasoline engine.

No, that is definitely not a hybrid. In fact, I think that might be illegal here in California.


Swaps are often called hybrids in idiot circles, who used the phrase hybrid before Toyota began manufacturing the Prius.

Of course, it doesn't really mean jack. Much like calling a gun a gat.

I'm a i love you

fixed again

Sorry, I didn't realize that you are one of the idiots I referred to earlier. You're obviously very sensitive about it though.

BTW-Isn't calling someone a i love you a banable offence?

Well, it's a vacationable one in theory, OS isn't going to get banned for it tho'

nah, i'm just being smartass like you

on paper supposedly all name calling is bannable but that obviously didn't stop you either.

Like I said, I didn't realize that you were a "modder" when I made that post.

Edit-Maybe you should put something in your sig to let the rest of us know. You know, like the number of stickers you have on your car or how big your wing is? :)

Maybe the aliens just wanted to film some hot man on lizard action and you're trapped in a cheezy alien skin flick. :cool:

Sure, as soon as you put "birkenstock-wearing-alternative-fuel-vehicle-driving-vegan-no-meat-eating-guns
kill-people-alternative-life-style-adopting-children-fur-is-murder" in yours to let the rest of us know.

:p :D

You forgot "ride-your-bike-to-work" which would have been the only part of that generalization you would have gotten correct. :p

I'm confident OS is not a mod. It's just that lifers tend to get a *little* leeway. The point is, both of you should know better.

Actually it sucks. When it's her time of month, she's moody AND she sheds her skin.

BTW, you can fully legalize swaps with a referee;

Congrats on finding something to back up your statement. I did say in my post that "I THINK that might be illegal here in California." Meaning, I wasn't sure.

This thread isn't about swapping engines in cars though.
