Well done!
If you really want to know,
No sir, it was not. Everything in this car had to be fabricated... from scratch! The housing for the transmission was honed out of a single block of aluminum!

Well, according to the Youtube description,
If life gives you lemons, squirt lemon juice into the eyes of your enemies I say!
"sending a rod straight through the engine block."
I see your daily driven stock Honda S2000, and raise you one stock (meaning you can buy one from the factory) Honda Civic Type R driven by one Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya.
The Drift King wins!
Its unexpected because they used to be everywhere! I live in Southern California, and you literally could not throw a rock without hitting a VR-4. Out of the 3 Japanese supercars of the 90's, this is the one that I saw everywhere! Now, I see more daily driven NSX's then I do VR-4's.
Step 1. Buy riced out GSR.
Its only rare because all of the Pheonix Yellow Integra Type R's have been stolen (at least once) already!
