Rice!!!
Somehow I got rice in the house... any help 
My daughter's boyfriend is pulling his motor from his Honda in our basement.....
He's got two of these, this one has a turbo plus NOS which he tracks and the other i'm not sure what it has but it's his DD.
Says he's going to sell both of them (reason for the motor pull it's blown) and buy a C5.... maybe i've converted one... shrug....
Even though it's rice he's a motor-head, likes tinkering and turning bolts pretty good kid....
The Vert doesn't even want to look at it...
And one more to keep it C5 Related...
Waiting for spring!!
And the Stud of the house
The pic's look a little funky they were taken with a cell phone...
Thought i'd share

Sounds like he is leaning in the right direction in terms of cars. Hope he gets his repaired and can get into a C5.

Looks like an LS swap, motor from the non-VTEC Integra. They are a popular motor to turbo in the Honda crowd, and they aren't exactly a slouch when put together right. Looks like he knows what he's doing. Might show your vert a thing or two when he gets rebuilt, you never know.
And thats far from actual rice.

Nice basement and nice of you to let him do the work there. At least he is someone that wants to do the work rather than contract it out based on what he sees in the Fast and the Furious movies.

You know your Rice! That's exactly what it is!
And yes he claims to have smoked a couple of stock Vettes and one new body style Mustang GT over the last year. Said the only thing that put him in his place was a Diesel truck!

Turbo Civics are no joke. Remember a stock C5 will put down less than the amount of a turbo Civic and the Civic will weigh far less than the Corvette. Different styles for different people. I will always prefer my Corvette though. Stock for stock there is no comparison

That Civic would destroy most of the Vettes on this Forum. Before I converted, my old T3/T4b turbo'd civic would blow away my dad's C5 in every category. I miss the hell out of that little go cart, but its no Vette.
His wheels are hideous but at least he doesn't have a body kit.
