At this years 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon, the EPSON company have created a full-scale NSX Super GT race car made entirely out of paper! Haha leave it to the guys over in JDM land to come up with something this creative. Seeing this totally makes me feel like a kid again. Check out how it was put together HERE.
Having experienced the thick and thin of modifying your ride it seems like the “in” thing these days is to make sure your wheels are, “flush.” So what is flush? Look at the image above, flush simply means that your wheel/tires are lined up with the body of the car. Depending on the style of wheel and or preference being flush means having some radical offset on the wheel and also stretching out the tire. Check out the guys at Hella Flush for more photos.

In 2009, Club Loose hosted quite a number of events throughout the year catering to drifters of newb status to the pro’s. With the great turnouts in 2009, I’m curious to see what they have in store for 2010. I guess we just have to wait and see.

So after checking out the specs on the new CR-Z, I’m as disappointed as you are about what should have been a true successor to the CRX. The good people at Jalopnik agree:
…it’s a perfect example of product Fail, and on a personal level, it’s one of the greatest vehicular disappointments in recent memory. How can I say this without having driven it? Easy: I can read a press release, and I own a 1988 Honda CRX Si. The Si is a 2000-pound, 100-hp wonder, a manic, front-wheel-drive snotrocket that can crank out 35 mpg and make any winding road its bitch. The CR-Z is a wildly different machine. It weighs 2800 pounds. It’s rated for 37 mpg on the highway, which seems impressive until you remember just how tiny it is. And while its 1.5-liter hybrid four can be mated to a six-speed manual, it also makes just 122 hp.
Sigh…maybe Japan will get a Type-R version that will be exactly what the US wish that it got.
These cars have been featured in numerous magazines and car shows and having seen them personally, they are well worth the money. Click the picture for more info and specs.
A pretty informative video on gearboxes, what they are, how they fail, different types, etc. Check it out!
