Default [REAL Hybrids from Thailand] EK Civic with Toyota 3S-GTE engine

Thailand, the land of hybrids from hell...

Check this out.. an EK Civic sedan with a Toyota 3S-GTE engine from an MR2 Turbo! This was scanned from one of my Thai car magazines..

I like it plenty. The 3S-GTE is another great engine, just like the SR20-DET and yes, dare i say it, the B18C1. I still think it's more trouble than its worth but i respect the effort.

Dudes in Thailand must have lots of time on their hands

Hey Nathan..I am thinking of going back home after my MSEE and MBA. Last week I called the shipping company about shipping my CRX, SI, and Roadster back home... guess how much I have to pay custom? Let's say that it would be wiser to buy new S2000 over there. I told my mom that I don't want to go to work in Thailand because of no race track over like over here. Hopefully, I can save enough money for R32 or R33 Skyline GTR.

later,

I have been to Lardpao but not the new one. The track is nice but somewhat dangerous. Over here in So. Cal we have the "Airport Track" at Ontario and other small industrial streets which now has road bump in them. SUCK! Well, I will hit you up when I go back home next year.
