Cool ride but needed too much maintenance. Plus I generally hate automatics.


Also I launched too hard once and broke the seat. Everything in that truck wanted to break if you just looked at it wrong!


Someone hit-and-ran the Typhooooooooon when I lived in Langley, the body cladding was nearly $1000 to fix from the quotes I got. What the fuck!!!

:lawl: typical late 80's early 90's GM. everything was crap from them back then, including the corvette. well, the iroc camaro was dope lol..

but damn that typhoon is nice, i've always loved those things.

Yes. It had a high stall, a big turbo, meth spray... was FAST as FUCK!!!

(When it ran right!!!)

Every time I drove it something broke or I discovered a new problem or rattle. It was insane.

Fuck I love those Typhoons(and Syclones). I'm always searching CL in the US for them. Some decent ones still around.

Big dollars to keep'em running!


They are massive fun :) Just a poor daily driver.

Gtr-r35 vs civic-- gtr gets smoked! - YouTube

I wished he had a camera facing the back too, so we can see how much he was pulling away by.

One of our very own RS members has a very good youtube video of his Civic all over the a$$ of a 911 Turbo at The Ridge. It's just too bad once they hit the straights, the P-car driver mashes down on the right pedal and the car pulls away but at the very next corner the Civic is all over the back end of the Turbo again.

It was somewhere in this thread. I remember the video.

SumAznGuy 10-24-2014 08:57 AM

I was wrong.
It was a GT3.

If I were that guy in the gt3 I'd walk over to the driver of that civic after the session and slap him the biggest high five hes ever been slapped with. That was impressive to say the least.

dared3vil0 10-24-2014 09:30 AM

Hey Marco?




:lawl: Civic faster than GT3

white rocket 10-24-2014 10:55 AM

Such a good video. I fucking love Honda's from that era.
To the GT3 driver: you go on ahead, I'll see you at the next turn :troll:

boatcaptain 10-24-2014 07:30 PM

the guy in the civic is not very normal.he have a nickname chinese stig

dared3vil0 10-24-2014 08:00 PM

Some say he can telepathically slow down 911 drivers,

Some say him simply being in a car = +50hp

All we know is, it's the Chinese stig!

Lol, and you had "passenger weight "handicap too.

What happened at the very end? Did he finally let you pass? Couldn't catch what he was gesturing as you passed.

great driving! i wish your rearview mirror wasnt in the way!

Marco911 10-26-2014 08:41 PM

Looks like a lot of commenters here haven't been to a track and don't know the difference between a race and a DE.

!Kodamu 10-26-2014 09:23 PM

So we went from driving don't the streets to having laps times and now racing wheel to wheel?????


PS: I have driven the f80 m3 and 991 c2s and 991 turbo S

You can't even utilize 50% of the car before reaching 200 easily on the streets
