Not a p car but one of my all time favorites. 1988 honda crx dx w b16a and goodies. Absolute blast to drive and will autocross it and bring to vir.

Never experienced vtec before and it is so fun. Redline is 8200. Vtec kicks in at 5700. No 4 th gear vtec pulls yet as it is well over 110.

With engine and mods est at 200 hp and 2000 lbs. It is quick and vtec and exhaust make for a very tactile experience.

One mod not listed, switched rear brakes from drums to disc.

Motor swap looks factory. They did a great job.

I know right. Both are my favorite but hard to be engaging on public roads. Those cars are so stupid fast now. Most drivers don't go near any of the car limits any longer and most do not track their cars. They just cruise around. One day though, a 996 turbo manual would be ideal.

You really should drive one. Not as good as RWD in my opinion too, but you can do some things on pavement with a awd one that you can't do in a rwd one, believe me.

the amount of AWD BMWs (especially around here with very little snow/ice) is disheartening as well

I too appreciate rowdy high hp/torque rwd Germans

Like trying to do donuts in the snow in an 80.

I hope to order the engine trans Connect & Cruise package next week. LS3 525 HP/ T56 6 speed manual

That should lighten the rear end a bit when used appropriately

Hopefully some of you guys are on FB. Some fun teaching my youngest daughter how to drive a manual today. Her face lit up when the vtec kicked in. Turn up the sound. ;<)

EVs are cool and have their place. But there has always been an issue for me

I think Tesla has had software for a while to make their cars sound like different ICEs.

The BJ has arrived. So fun and actually moves quite well. Donuts and drifting in 2wd in the snow is so fun.

Pablo is still slaying. Love this ****in thing.

1984 Mercedes 380SL RestoMod

Upper and forward cross members in place, still a good bit of welding and bracing left to do but it is where it lives. There are two more braces that attach to the lower arms forward to a point under the car. This is an issue with no easy solution. Cant wait to figure out sheet...
