Very cool, didn't realize Spoon was doing anything w/ the TSX (it's the Euro Accord in Japan right?). What's up w/ those pics being so blurry though?

 

I didn't know they start racing the TSX (Accord Euro-R).

 

@ 1.45 he passes a DC2

@ 2.13 he's looking in the rearview and nearly nails the guy in front of him

the dude just looks like he's having a gay old time while putting around the track

I believe Taz was to drive one of his old WC Civics but not sure on that one. There was a rumor that he was building a EP3 for World Challenge next year, perhaps thats him driving the red EP3 in the video.

See what happens when you don't frequent the RRAX forums enough?


Marc, you should cross post there as well. I saw a post about this maybe a week ago but, they didn't have video and will probably be interested.

I specifically asked Ichishima why he chose to field the CL7 Accord Euro-R instead of more 'logical choices' (to us enthusiasts, that is) like the DC5 Integra Type-R or the EP3 Civic Type-R. After all, those who have been following the BEST MOTORing/HOT VERSION videos knows that stock-to-stock, the DC5 and the EP3 are very much faster than the CL7 (Accord Euro-R) on the race-track. However, Ichishima's answer took me by surprise. He doesn't think the DC5 is as good a base as the CL7. In fact, he admits to be unimpressed with the DC5 as a base for modifications. 'It's based on a van', he says, 'it's a Stream Coupe !'. Similarly the EP3 to him is a 'Stream hot-hatch'. The CL7 Accord Euro-R to him is the best all-round current generation Type-R model made by Honda.

To make it ITR related and boost our ego

Controversial though Ichishima's statements are, let us take a closer look at the reasons. In many ways the design profile for the Stream was the base for the DC5. The K20A engine first appeared in the Stream before being tuned for the DC5. Furthermore the biggest discussion point amongst enthusiasts was Honda's decision to discard the double wishbone suspension for the front, replacing it with the MacPershon strut design. However the DC5 was specifically designed from scatch (using the same base as the Stream though) to be an all-out FF performance coupe. Many of the DC5's features are things we enthusiasts holds important : Recaros, 2-pot Brembo calipers, Chrome-Moly flywheel, etc. But Ichishima's response to these is that he feels some of us may have been too enticed by these features. He confess to a fondness for the old DC2 Integra Type-R and that the B-series engine, especially the B18C SpecR is to him still one of the all-time best engines Honda has ever made.

Well, that depends. I have been known to smoke cigarettes on occasion.

Or perhaps you're referring to getting the point by from homosexuals? I have never actually been on track with RJ at the same time, so no.

Well I wouldn't want to be misconstrued as homophobic or uncomfortable with my sexuality...

Gay= happy?

****= cigs in UK?

RJ= a *** in the US?

You implied it not me
