sorry if this is a repost, searched and didn't find it. Covers Honda's history of the Type R starting with the NSX R, then ITR 96 and 98 spec, and also covers Civic R. Has footage of a Group-N Spoon ITR and the last 10 minutes is from the then prototype S2000 being driving around the Nurburgring. The whole video has clips from the Spoon President too which is pretty cool. There's an interesting part for example where he talks about putting a hose clamp around the oil filter for racing on the track, never heard of that.

Best Motoring - History of the Honda Type R - 1:12:46

edit: after watching this video I realize I'm never surprised to learn new things about our caRs. Plus there is some really cool history on the original JDM ITR and how the engines were put together.

Same here! That is why I picked up US and JDM version too.

 

Noticing these two videos are right next to each other why did the guy say this "v-tec is AWESOME!"

 

Can't get sick of watching it! Can anyone explain why the President of Spoon talks about their mod's to the type r as if he worked for Honda? Is their relationship that tight?

 

I cant figure out how they drive so fast in the rain. My car would be all over the place. Are those drivers THAT GOOD or are my tires bald lol

great video. ive never seen it. thanks

 

I've got the US version of the Type R legends. The crappiest part is the voice dubbing. I don't think whoever translated, didn't do a very good job. Great video, though.

Great video

I love nearly every Best Motoring DVD I ever buy, the way the have the show structured is awesome.

 

Why does Honda-tech search suck so much *****? I searched "history" and "best motoring" both in recent and archive posts before posting and it turned up nothing.
Sorry for the repost, and I see someone else reposted my repost. Oh well

I did some searching and this site supposedly will convert Google Video to AVI and let you download it. It's extremely slow and I have my doubts that it won't choke trying to convert a video thats over an hour long.

The URL to post into it's converter is:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...=best+motoring

I'm not sure if it's working or not, it hasn't timed out, but it's not doing anything either.

 

Got it ... it looks like it works with the Google video player .. Once that is installed, it says it will let you download the videos ..

I'm d'loading the player now .. I'll let you know how it goes ..
