Car Toys sounds really familiar. I did some work for CnC motorsports back in the day, which was originally based out of Pomona, but they ended up opening a few shops in the late 90's and eventually had to close their doors completely a few years ago. '97-'00 I had my own business that I ran out of my house called 6-S Tuning, our clientele was usually local kids in Chino Hills, Diamond Bar and Chino. We did the usual, such as installs, graphics, motorswaps, nothing too big but it was fun.

My stomping grounds was Ontario on Mission and the surrounding industrial buildings, but once they really starting cracking down on illegal drag racing (towing everybody and huge fines), that's when I started bowing out of the scene, it just wasn't worth it to me anymore.

Same here man. I mean when I was 16, I would have worked my ass off just to get an RSX-S. Still great cars, but now I only look at them as fun yet economical daily drivers. Now, I'm all about torque. It's just so nice to lug around in top gear at half the RPMs.

I've been wanting to go German for a while. The maintenance horror stories have been putting me off. I have yet to find an Audi that I do not like. I used to have that same feeling about Hondas.

Check that site out, those guys are awesome. This is definitely a project I would love to tackle, provided I have space and funds. AWD is always the way to go, especially in a 400 hp AWD RHD Mark I or Mark II .

I still love my 2003... but that's because it's a 2003. Not a single car in both brands' current line-up is appealing to me... literally, not a single one.

That wasn't the case in 2003.

I hope you meant to add red text to this? There's nothing snobby about my statement. There are vehicles geared towards certain demographics which means incomes as well.

I'm not the guy talking about my IS-F like it's the best thing since sliced bread. I'm saying Honda is not putting out the cars that people who grew up buying Integras, Preludes, RSX-S want/need four doors, better performance and would like to try RWD. They simply aren't there, but other manufacturers are.

Those who can't afford a 200hp fwd car aren't what Honda should be targeting anyways. Even the Fit is out of their reach new.

The new Accord V6 coupe is sexy. I do double-takes all the time when walking away from my TL-S.

ZDX is incredibly edgy (for Honda). So is the Crosstour. Honda/Acura took a risk on both of these vehicles, and nobody bought them. Why do you think they are going back to their bread and butter vehicles?

Regardless, please keep buying Honda, my fiancée is a Honda engineer

Will do, as soon as you read the rest of my post and realize that I don't mind the current lineup


(the new TL is seriously ugly though)

The TSX, MDX, Fit, CR-V, Accord Coupe, all don't look bad, but the rest is bleh. Looks are subjective though.

I know they are testing out some new cars, but I can't convince her to take any photos. Something about being fired instantly and having charges brought against her. Pshh, women!

Maybe I can just get a good description from her. I know they are all disguised to hell and back. She said something about seeing a RWD coupe... Though, it was probably just the 350z's they use to teach test drivers how to use the track.

Honda uses the 350Z to teach their test drivers how to use a track.

I guess they use it as the final test - all of the other steps are with Honda vehicles. It is strange, I agree, but you can't expect them to use a fleet of NSX's

a company does not "have it" b/c it has ONE car reminiscent of the older "tuner" days of honda of the 90's.

i'd still take an 11 year old 99 Civic Si/Integra Type R over that one.

This is Acurazine, not the ghettohoodshitforum.

edit: LOL, and you drive a TL and you're making fun of everyone else for driving a family sedan?
