Am I the only one who's thinking "Well, just turn the drivetrain 90 degrees, make it rear wheel drive, replace the hatch with a trunk, add a cylinder, stiffen the suspension, throw in manual windows to cheapen it, and you've got a modern day Triumph Dolemite Sprint! I'll take it!" ? How much tuning/money would it cost

I'm afraid my driving style is dubstep. Although, you ever listen to classical music when driving? You'll be doing 30 over and not even know it.

MR2 Spyder.

Volkswagen Corrado. Classic VW sportiness that was apparently just too expensive for what it was in the US.

Attractive, sporty, European. If only it didn't have a ridiculous name and didn't cost way more (thanks Deutschmark!) than it should have cost.

My God damned 4.3 Vortech in my Blazer. Absolutely massive v6 by most of the worlds standards, makes a pitiful amount of power, and GM STILL MAKES THEM because they're just such a good little engine. If I could, I'd totally get the new DI one they built, throw a little baby turbo on it and see if I can't build a

EJ22t from the early turbo legacy. factory closed deck, oil squirters

Toyota 22R, anyone?

Subaru EZ30.

I don't know if it's underappreciated, but I really liked this engine in my 1990 Q45. The Nissan VH45DE. 4.5L V8, 278hp, 294 lb/ft. of torque. Put 252,000 on my car before I got rid of it.

Audi's 3B 20V I5 Tuuuuuurbo!

Mazda F2 / F2T in the 80's / early 90's MX6/626.

Mazda B series engines. The B6ZE(RS) in the 90-93 miata, and the BP in the 94-97 miata are particularly durable and can take a beating. They are also great for forced induction as well because of the iron block. They are also non-interference engines so if the timing belt breaks he pistons wont slam into the valves

Cummins 5.9, Toyota 22r, jeep 4L, ford big 6, whatever powered that little 86 tercel I had and straight up any small block chev that has 400,000k on it some where still pulling whatever's left of an old retired flert truck

I'd like to think he bought it salvage and not out of the back of a truck. Too many Type'R's had their hearts stolen.

Someone should send this video to Honda (all of Honda) with a note attached: "Fuck You Very Much".

**Raises hand and flutters it in the air**

OH-OH-OH-OH! Mister George! MISTER GEORGE!!!!

What happened to the Integra Type R?

If I were an editor of a widely read auto-blog, I would probably stay away from any ledes involving Japan and dropping an atomic bomb.
