Default EF9 on Vtec Magic (Best Motoring Int.)

Anyone saw this one yet? Tsuchiya was like "this is too old" and talking ish about it, like its too old or something. And like i thought, he thought of the car completely different after he drove it. He said he used to race those cars when he was a teenager. In short, he didn't think too highly of EFs, and it didn't seem right too me.

I am a good BMI fan but after watching this one

Any other thoughts on this?

isn't that in the "roaring vtec" one? It's super old and the owner of Spoon Sport's personal car if it is.

It's a good street car/daily driver but it wasn't tuned for the track so it obviously wasn't going to turn a good lap time. I figured if you saw that video you'd be talking about the Elf Racing EF8.

Can anyone give me some info on the Elf Racing EF8? I always love to watch cars that I like personally when they are racing.

I searched but came up with nothing.. gooled, ht searched... nothing.

And yes, it wasn't tuned for track but I still didn't like the fact that they didn't respect the car itself.

Hondas arent popular at all in Japan, EFs are very rare, it doesnt come as a suprise that they didnt think much of the car and were suprised when they found out the b18c5 drivetrain bolted right in
