Rotary Fanboy

Keiichi Tsuchiya, a man who needs no introduction and certainly no driving lessons.We all know what he does best and how big the list of his accomplishments is, but which one changed the Japanese car culture for ever?Well, it was a series of Pluspy movies made by tuning companies and car magazines to show off how much fun you can have on the touge.

When a Honda receives a Type R badge that means it reached it’s ultimate state.At that point a Honda is the lightest, the most powerful, the stiffest, the fastest, quite simply the BEST!So Honda decided in 1998 it’s time for the Accord to reach it’s ultimate state.This is a time when Honda were building the NSX, the Civic and Integra Type R, the Prelude, and the S2000, so of course they made a Type R Accord.

These two are the go to Honda tuners, they are the best at what they do.If you want your Honda to go faster, you go to one of these two.They actually have a lot in common: they are both from Tokyo, they were both founded by racing drivers and they have been transforming everyday Hondas into astonishing racing machines for a very long time.However they are quite different as well.So let’s start with Spoon Sports

The DTM was a racing series from 1984 to 1996.Back in 1984 when it started the FIA introduced Group A rules which were used by the DTM.These rules were much more restrictive then the previous Group 5 rules.To compete in the DTM a manufacturer had to produce 25 000 units of it’s “race car” platform, with 10% of them being sold as special Evolution models.This meant that you could see pretty much everyday roadcars fitted with crazy race engines battling on some of the world’s best racing tracks!All of that led to amazing long lasting rivalries and made the DTM as popular as the insane Group B

This is a story of 2 great rivals, well the GTR never really had a rival at the time, so this would be more of a David and Goliath kind of story…

So, I know it’s not the fastest but I like it, I think the rx8 is a decent track car,considerig the price and the engine…Anyways I found an rx8 for 6400$ a clean one with low miles.I love the renesis so I won’t do an engine swap, I will even keep it NA as well.First I will buy a new exauhst system, rotaries don’t have the best emissions so Mazda make very restrictive exauhsts, rotaries are loud as well so exauhst are designed to keep the noise and vibrations down and that makes them heavy.So a new exauhst system would release a lot more power and I could get rid of quite a bit of weight.Nex

Ok this might be a bit weird and not so common but I am writing a post about a wheel,but not just any wheel…This is one of the lightest, strongest, and arguably one of the best looking wheels ever made, it just fits EVERY SINGLE CAR, as a matter of fact if you can think of a car that would look silly with ‘’Regas’’ please tell me in the comments.

The father of drifting When you mention the start of a very high skilled and very delicate art of drifting first thing that comes to your mind is probably a man(a king) that goes by the name of Keiichi Tsuchiya aka Drift King and his screaming Hachiroku with a green carbon hood.
