Default What the F!#K........

Has anyone read HCI's new magazine article on Spoon's DC5-R Race Integra? Yea pretty exciting wasn't it, well at first it was. Well I thought that it was dissapointing because it wasn't in deph enough and in the end they mispelled VTEC to VETEC, yeah I know it doesn't matter but I wonder if these guys even know what Spoon is. They kept saying Spoon Style parts this and that whish pissed me off becuase Spoon-style products are from scam companies that make replica's of Spoons own parts and then calls them Spoon Style, which these HCI guys obviously didn't have a clue that they are acutally writing an article on the real deal. And then later I read their RACE B16A engine build up article and noticed that they said that you didn't need to torque the cylinder head down, you can just tighten it up and that you should just reuse the old head gasket, ..............um hello there knuckleheads your supposed to torque the head down and then recheck it again and that's the important thing to do and you should also never reuse an old head gasket if its gonna be seein racing. Did I mention they milled their cylinder head incorrectly. Bunch of retards. By the way no offense, but I'm sick and tired of all these Engine build-up articles in magzines today, I mean there is more to a car then the engine. How about showing us how to rebuild a tranny and checking its clearances and how tranny fluid is actualy coupling force that moves the tranny gears? They should just do what Super Street does and let the pro's do it, well at least Super Street writes better articles even if its still not as detailed but they always crack me up. Anyhow I thought that everyone should here what I have to say because I couldn't hold it in anymore. Whew! I feel better.

Hey there guys. Sorry about my post being difficult to read, good thing I decided to put periods and commas in or it would've been one very very long sentence. LOL.

I agree, the Brit magazines have got to be the best automotive journalism on the market. CAR is a great magazine as well...
