It’s still a hit ratings wise and it’s grown the internet fame of all of the drivers who appear on it. I was at PRI last year and there were half a dozen Street Outlaw cars there. You couldn’t get near some of them because of the crowds.

I’d disagree. 3rd gen Civics and CRXs are starting to slowly creep up in price again. Really, this car is an outlier: how many REALLY clean Civics are on the market right now? Most have been trashed or so heavily modded their values are skewed. There are very few lightly modified and clean EF Civics out there.
I think this owner is stumbling onto a new genre of Japanese car: the 1980s restored Japanese car. Yeah the mileage is high, but if the owner has gone through this car and given it a proper restoration, the price is probably worth it. Then again, the owner is going to have to show some MAJOR documentation to prove…
Is it just me or does an overly stanced car look like a dog that’s been playing in the park too long?
But I’m not sure they were any more dangerous than comparable contemporary sports racers.
Your feet as the crumple zones are the LEAST of your worries driving this thing. Other safety concerns that one should consider before driving a 917:
The only people who say “oval racing is easy” have never actually raced on an oval.
I agree that Alonso doesn’t improve teams. Does he tear them down? I’d say that’s arguable. His coworkers and teammates like Alonso the man. I got the chance to meet him at Indy and he is genuinely a friendly person. He really embraced the open paddock at Indy and it was nice to see him happy again. The problem is…
Oh I know, but a man can dream can’t he?
I 100% agree. But with the cars so reliable and the gap between the best teams and the rest so large, then there’s basically zero chance anyone outside the best 6 seats gets on the podium, much less wins. And this is why Alonso is leaving F1. The current rules make it pretty well impossible for anyone not on a factory…
In terms of wins? Yes. In terms of podiums? No. There’s always been eras where one or two cars are the only winners, but they rarely dominated the podium like Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull do right now. It truly is a 2-class field. And even a decade ago, teams outside the top 3 still stood a chance of winning if…
Honda/McLaren’s problems were ALWAYS McLaren related. McLaren insisted on packaging constraints that Honda could not meet. Honda spent two years fruitlessly following this design path until McLaren finally relented in 2017 and Honda redesigned their engine from the ground up. This was why Honda’s engine sucked so hard…
I know there are slight difference in the block (and especially the head as most of Mitsu’s V6's were single cam while the 3000GT TT was DOHC), but there was enough similarity that the engine should mount up in the same way. I figured the plumbing and wiring would be the biggest nightmare in a swap like that.
You know the 3000GT shares the same V6 engine block as the Montero/Pajero. In theory a twin turbo V6 swap is relatively simple...
Pretty sure The Donald himself hasn’t been involved in any part of these negotiations. That way he can either take the credit if it boosts the US economy, or he can deny everything if it all goes to shit.
This is a huge deal for Jordan Racing. Losing those points totally burns their chances of taking home any reasonable prize money in 2018. prize money that would be crucial to their survival as a team. What bullshit. Midland just got pulled from the lake only to be left out in the cold to freeze to death. Spyker is in…
Trifolds are great. Pop two levers and it flips back. Need it off? Takes about 30 seconds. Way easier to deal with if you like your bed covered and only need to fold it back to reach something that’s slid towards the cab.
None of the problems I had were related to MODS. They were all related to Mazda cutting corners.
Actually...
