CAR FEATURE>> GT3 CARBON BODIED HONDA CIVIC
Filed under: , , ,  
Speedhunters
You might remember some of the articles that I posted from Portland in the last few months, such as the one on SCCA race cars and a behind the scenes on RaceEnergy Honda team . This is the last post in that vein for now, and I saved the best for last, at least for the car geeks like me. An in-depth look into a professionally build SCCA GT3 car based around a 2006+ FG2 Honda Civic Si coupe. Construction of this car began almost by accident, when Jim Hargrove, who was campaining his '76 Civic GT...

VIDEO ROLL>> TWINS TURBO SUPRA STREET BUILD
Filed under: , , , , ,  

 

I just found these videos on YouTube of the Twins Turbo street Supra build and I had to share. I've been a fan of Twins Turbo ever since they built the fastest FR Time Attack car in North America last year with their RX7 build. Recently they showed off their new Super Unlimited Supra build which also looks to be a ringer, I just can't get enough of these guys' projects!

Here are parts 2 thru 4:
