I know its not a TL, but have any of you seen Bisimoto's new Odyssey? I saw it recently in Hondna Tuning and it is pretty insane. They did a phenomenal job of making everything looking factory, even a 6 speed.

I would drive that minivan!

Here's a link I found on it.

i am looking to get a minivan in the next year or two...

 

OMG

 

 

If it actually had a black front grill and get rid of the horrendous wheels, it'd look pretty nice.

 

Not a big fan of the 4G Ody, a 3G would work.
But, impressive nonetheless.

 

6000hp, drag slicks, Recaros, super sweet exhuast tone....still a minivan.

 

Except for the wheels, and they need to put a grille on.

 

The extra 400HP it has wouldn't change your mind? lol

EDIT - Doh - you put 6000hp... I'd still drive it, especially since it's a manual. My wife's Escalade runs 100+ in the 1/4 and I want to turbo it, but I'd rather have the manual in the minivan.

 

Such an interesting concept on paper but why do they have to ruin the aesthetics?

Makes it a waste in my opinion.

 

No grill, horrible rims, no thanks.

 

Not really. That's like the guy who puts a blown big block in a Beetle. Just because it's fast, doesn't mean it's cool.

Any car that has a built in vacuum should put up a red flag.

 

Reanult put a F1 engine to their Minivan back in the 90's.

 

I remember the escape F1 from GT2

Bisi is a good friend of mine and he's always been tuning outside of the box type of person.

 

 

I would drive that all day. Haters gone hate from away. Eating dust

 

Not a fan of the 4G Odyssey's styling, but I'd still drive it. But I'd have to remove those wheels, stickers, and rooftop cargo carrier, and then throw on a grille first.

 

So much for discretion.

 

Say what you want, but it's one of a kind. That minivan would destroy anybody's car on this site, outside of maybe IHC's GN from a standstill. That snail is ridiculous I love Bisi's builds... 964 being my favorite.

Not a fan of the stupid-camber VIP wheels or the gaping FMIC. But that's Bisi.

The Bisimoto 911:

Pretty impressive to fabricate the shift cables from a 6MT TL-S..

 

the performance is impressive.. the exterior is heinous

 

I for sure would put some different wheels on it and add a grill - no grill makes it look like a chuck of the front end is missing.

 

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I've seen an STI motor in a Beetle and I thought it was pretty cool. I've always been a fan of anything fast, and sometimes the oddest ones are the most interesting... RWD LS1 Civic, heck, there is a guy here on the forum putting a 66 Mustang body on top of a Civic chassis with a J32. Some may consider it blasphemous and wrong wheel drive, but it is interesting none the less!

 

I dunno if you guys saw this but he gave a shoutout to AZ a couple years back when i was at his shop. One of the nicest and most humbled persons i know.

 

RUN, don't walk, RUN away from the Oddy.

Nightmare in quality and reliability.

 

really? I thought it would be pretty good. The engine must be pretty solid no? What minivan would you suggest?

 

I have never known a J-series engine to be unreliable..

I don't know much about the quality of the interior.. but I cant tell you how many old oddy's I see on the road daily.. something has to be built right.

 

the transmission in the early 2000 models were pretty bad. Shared the same failures as the accord and TL. the 2nd one in my parents' odyssey is just hanging on (the 2nd one was also rebuilt after 60k miles).

 

Motor is fine.
Transmission was a hot mess.
Power steering issues were constant.
Interior build quality was lacking....rattle box.

Typical poor quality Honda front brakes.
Thing ate through tires way too quickly.


It was the final straw, the last Honda I purchased.

 

No engine bay pics?

 

They're in Chapter 2.

Not much said about the 6MT except it's from a type-s.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love fast.

I admire the amount of thought and hard work that went into this, but with the wheel/ride height combo it seems to me like a waste. The article says it struggles to gain traction in any gear at full boost.

What would make it more impressive is if they threw wide sticky tires on it, raised it a hair, put 4 people in it and threw it on a track next to something you'd never think to see it compare to....kinda like that VW bus with the Porsche guts thats been floating around on Youtube for years lapping numerous supercars at Spa.

 

Nothing new. Honda did it twice now (something similar) for the one lap of America. Cool none the less.

^ I remember that one. That's the supercharged Odyssey from last years Pikes Peak

 

Swoosh needs one of those.....

 

I told him to just get a Flex. 2500 or so in mods and he will be putting down 500 or so at the wheels.

 

I don't care about the engineering and work that was put into this car. I don't like the wheels and it has too many stickers so it sucks. Rather have a stock Dodge Caravan instead.

/cartalk

 

nice

 

I would like to see that van in a JGTC costume.

 

Caravan WHAT, the Oddy stock is sooooooo much better and you don't need a friend with a tow truck like you would with a Caravan
