All that work on the door panels, you'd think they'd be able to easily finish the center dash.

What conversation are you implying this is then lol


I wish the car wasn't ricey, it would look sick

Dur. Lol. I forget about the facelift.

There was a version done with the pre facelift fa/g front end. The hood didn't match up well. There was a huge gap between the base of the windshield and the edge of the hood.

IDK the specs yet, but Wes commented on my FB link, saying he knows who built it, Adam Sarawatari and to Google 'A&L Racing.'
Of course, I Googled 'em way back in the day, but to no avail.. I haven't tried recently though. I just image searched it, with Google's new-ish drag 'n' drop feature..
Hopefully, you have better luck.

We have some homework to do

Spotted this at a race/car show last month (World Cup @ MIR for the mid-atlantic locals), I think it took me a second when I saw the front end to realize what I was looking at exactly. "Hey, where did that EP go that I just saw from behind a second ago...?!?" lol
Fwiw the conversion did appear to be clean and well-executed...

Thats Hot!!!

Jukka... that thing makes me wanna wrap my pecker in textured CF vinyl. Ribbed for her pleasure... heh.

Was it ever a real car and what was pushing it, if it was?

Finally started to dig and I found a lil sum'n sum'n here: http://www.urbanracer.com/articles/anmviewer.asp?a=384

Some of the most anticipated racer debuts were Honda based. The first, Adam Saruwatari�s V6 powered A&L Racing Civic Si took place on the Honda stand - where the very announcement of the car had taken one year ago. The Enkei/Nitto sponsored car will feature the same basic bits of his current NSX racecar, a twin turbocharged 3.2L NSX V6 mounted in the front of the tube chassis and driving the rear wheels. With a switch to methanol as a fuel source and further tuning based on information gained from the A&L Racing NSX, the Pro Class car is expected to dip into the 6-second, 200 MPH range � which would make it competitive with the leaders of the class.
