Do you guys honestly thing this guy races the car?
Most likely, the only action it sees is too and from the show.
That Naaawwwss really helps out in the straights I hear.

LOL.
I don't think he races the car anywhere but on the streets, maybe not even there. Too scared a bug might get squashed on the bumper.
But still, what purpose do those bars serve? I'm rather ignorant, but do things like that win you 'style points' at a kaa show? They look stupid, probably are more dangerous than helpful.
As gong show once said, "The more bars you have, the more you'll fell [feel] like a monkey ".

Re: Auto Salon Type R? (Chris N)
yes but he has tein man on his bumper....! thats awesome.
although i too would rather have a rollcage in it (as long as you're killing the rear seats, might as well strip the seats/carpet all out and put something useful in there like an autopower) i wouldnt kick it out of my garage.

Re: Auto Salon Type R? (Chris N)
It's serious overkill.
I can see the advantage of having a bar run along the c pillar. I mean, yeah, it adds more rigidity to the car, but at the same time it eliminates the use of the rear seats in an Integra (right?). Then those bars running down, what the heck do those do? I have no idea.
The bar behind the seats is for a camera mount, which serves a the purpose of filming all the hos at the show.

LOL, filming the hoes, I love it.
The other bars? Who f-ing knows. The c-pillar bar effectively rids you of your back seats, yes. Plus, I really don't think the c-pillar bar has that big of an effect. At least not enough to justify what it costs.
Nice looking kaa, sure, but the bars! MY EYES, THEY BURN!!

Anything with race parts on it used at a car show is getting kicked out of my house, my bed, my garage. And any place else for that matter.
So that goes for a show **** with a Spoon tshirt on with a super mini skirt on and a thong showing. To this car with all these race parts that only see the show room floor
They gotta go, the **** can stay til after I hit it(LOL). And the car can stay til after I get the parts off and put it back to stock and use or give the race parts to someone that needs them. 
How many points can you rack up at a car show, if you have these JDM class" parts they're looking for. But the parts are all abused and scratchedup, chipped, and whatever else could happen to a car that puts the parts to use???

Either way, to each his own right?
I would never be interested in a show kaa, but I guess I can respect someone for keeping a car that clean. DAMN clean.
But, I can hardly justify any more mods on my car, just too much $$$. Especially if I wasn't getting my money's worth out of the mods. That and the car as it is (and stock for that matter) is TONS of fun on the track and very, very capable. So for me, I'm a driving enthusiast, and the car is more than I can handle, so why mod?
Anyhoo, like I said, to each his own.
Now, a show kaa that was a track *****, THAT would kick ***.

Re: Auto Salon Type R? (Chris N)
Nah, I mean, I respect him for having a car that he likes.
Heck, I truly wouldn't have a car like that, even if it never saw the track. To me, it's not a waste. The guy is spending money on what he likes and it looks like he's enjoying it, good for him.
What bothers me is people who bash on a car, like Gong Show did and never take their cars to the track. I've never seen his car before, nor do I know him. But for someone to play it off like they are the supreme awesome trackstar and never take their car out, that sorta bothers me.
