Did you also swap in an AP1 gage cluster...to see that glorious 9K on the tach? I love my AP1 too. Cheers.

I enjoyed my 1988 Civic Si hatchback immensely. I think it may have been a hot hatch, it was hot for me. Not one issue until it was totaled in 1993. Then I got an Integra RS. Which leads me to another reliable hot hatch, Integra Type R yo! Cheers.

As long as you ignore the Del Sol's B-Pillars and retractable rear window.

I seem to recall the Chrysler Viper GTS-R back in the nineties...maybe it was just the European racing version?

The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet is the only rocket-powered fighter aircraft ever to have been operational. Its design was revolutionary, and the Me 163 was capable of performance unrivaled at the time. A German test pilot reached 1,130 km/h (700 mph) July 1944, apparently not broken in terms of absolute speed until…

German WWII planes have A LOT of awesome weirdness, especially the jets. The Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger "People's Fighter" was a single-engine, jet-powered fighter fielded late in the war. Designed and built quickly, and made primarily of wood as metals were in very short supply and prioritised for other aircraft, the…

VTEC doesn't have that kick since the S2000 went out of production five years ago.

I daily drove my E30 M3 comfortably for years before garaging her so she can continue to age gracefully. As far as safety, my '90 has a driver-side airbag and in general, E30s ARE modern cars. They have a passenger "safety cell" design. They have crumple zones front and back. They have bracing in the doors and latches…

I thought 'saggy ass' referred to the great 2nd-gen '80-'85 Cadillac Seville.

As an original E30 M3 owner of 24 years this makes me weep for my beloved (although not so much lately) brand. Does anyone even remember Freude am Fahren???

If memory serves, there was an F1 race in the late nineties where three competitors including Schumacher and Villeneuve had the exact same qualifying time down to the thousandth of a second. Villeneuve got the pole because he posted his time first.

I went to buy a GTS Sportback but they had an RA Sportback for just $5K more and I said eff it and have been very pleased so far with my daily driver. I don't get the fuss about the interior, at 30K miles, everything still works, no rattles, that's all I need. (It's the same interior as an EVO X after all...maybe I'm…

My '10 Lancer Ralliart is bigger, faster (o-60=5.6) and cost less...just sayin'. I fully support and endorse the fast 5-door hatchback category. Cheers.

Absolutely!!!

No worries. I am an S2K fan and was very proud for those ten years.

Actually, after holding the title for ten years, the F2oc was finally bested by the 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia with a 4.5 liter v8 producing 557 horses giving it 123.78 horses per liter/ The LFA "only" gets 115 hp/liter.

Back when race cars were fast AND beautiful!

M330ti?

Two models sold simultaneously in 1990 were the BMW 315 and the M3 Sport Evolution. 315 had 75hp whereas the M3 had 238, an increase of 318%.

That's almost correct. There's the base Lancer (fwd or awd), the Ralliart (awd, turbo, dual clutch 6-speed) and the Evo X. Much like the Subie progression of Impreza/WRX/STi.
