I have seen the monster in person. It is located in Dallas. Bob Norwood is the guy that tunes all our cars. He is the only one in Dallas that can tune a car properly,( that I have been to). its a 5 liter four cylinder. i saw it when it was just an idea on paper.

It doesn't have a single Honda part in it from what I saw in the article. That makes it an import!

i know ****... that's doesn't make it even a honda at all... the only thing that would remotely make it an integra is the body, which remotely resembles one.

Re: OT: Norwood's Racing Type-R

Bob Norwood is a friend of mine. His facility in dallas is top notch. He had no less than like 10 Ferrari's in there the few times I was there.
That guy is bad ***. I sat in that dragster and its scarey..the front end seems like endless in front of you. And the steering wheel is only like 5 inches wide..

Scariest thing ever. I think Bob is working on an all motor prelude motor right now...thats bad ***. He showed me all the internal parts, all custom made and that thing, when its done will be just SICK.

Norwood is a nice guy, and he is bad ***. He even let me put some of those stickers on that dragster. lol.

BTW the entire infrastructure of the car...is titanium. haha. That guy is SICK.

I saw that motor, it has like a three inch deck in between the block and the head. And the rods he is using are longer than the factory rods with the piston on them.. it is supposed to be a 2.6 liter engine and is out of a "rea; prelude engine". He said it will be able to do 900 horses!!!
