@@RobinVaessen Many owners in Japan are having trouble finding parts for the EF8(CR-X) and EF9(Civic), especially the transmission parts. Even now, the EF8 in particular is still active in motorsports(Gymkhana).
@@RJX1011D I can imagine! Here in the EU, is getting harder as well. Luckily there are many company who sell a lot of parts, but the genuine Honda parts would be difficult.. 🥹
@@99Lezard99 It sounds lie trash. Like a toaster being scrapped in a blender. All 4 cylinders sound terrible. To have to listen to that racket while driving would be maddening.
Those gt3 are fast, Ferrari is fast too. I think their lines could be better. Honda driver knows good lines. It’s also fast. I’m just thinking that Ferrari should’ve dusted everyone
"Competing"... It wasn't the motor, it was the driver. Kudos to OP, he's a fantastic wheelman with a well setup car. The Porsche is on an ENTIRELY different level. With equivalent drivers the GT3 will walk, no RUN away from the Civic.
Clealry the GT3 driver is either unfamiliar with the track, nervous, taking it "easy". You never know the "condition" of that GT3 driver, heck maybe it is a "new" car to the owner and they are exploring. But believe me, that GT3 was not even pushing it in the corners. I am NOT saying Robin is bad, he is having a blast with that high revving lovely civic, but to say that the old is competing with the new.....it is obvious (to me) there is a driver skill/confidence and not the car that is in question here.
@@RobinVaessen Drag is always good, gives the engine a chance to rest a little as it takes a small amount of load of the engine and give the engine a rest which allows it to produce more H.p when you need it. It's really interesting how it works !! Ex Indy Car Mechanic 🤙🏼
Haha, well it suprised me and anoyed me at the sime time when the Ferrari past us. Pushing me wide, but hé. It's TF, nothing happend and we're all good.
@@arthellstrobles1241 this is a myth, the CRX has a shorter wheelbase than the Civic hatch. They are less stable at high speed cornering and more twitchy.
@@RobinVaessen In corners you followed the ferrari very well, and according to Keiichi Tsuchiya, real men are found in the corners. Great driving by the way.
This made my day! This is everything i love about older Hondas as well as the mighty B series. The chase the drive is everything! Keeps me smiling for days! 😊
man... btought me WAY back ! my '91 Si was also tuned to perfection I had put lots of efforts into it and got it to under 780kgs... it only had about 140hp, but it was undeatable in the backroads 😉 thanks for sharing... it was awesome to watch 👌
@@RobinVaessen The above commentor is writing in Japanese, where Honda was born. Said your driving was thrilling as you caught the faster cars on the turns.
I’m just giggling. Honda fan since the first 1300cc civic I borrowed in the seventies. CRX’s in my twenties and back in a del sol now forty years later. I’m also a Ferrari fan. Seeing you hound both the Porsche and the Ferrari just made me laugh more. So much here to enjoy. I still liked seeing the prancing horse walk the GT3, never to be seen again. You had them both in those corners, awesome! Sending on to friends, it’ll make their days as it has mine.
Great driving! Was awesome to watch! Im mid 40s now, but had so many hondas when younger, couple are stage 2 b18c5 in a hb eg civic, rsx type r, s2000... such great cars and watching this brings back great memories!
It's so obvious that you have the circuit scienced out to perfection when you're able to out drive cars well above your cars power level. Great video man!!
This proves the point that the driver can make more of a difference than the car. Loved how you took those lines! Precise and straight to the point! I hope to start tracking someday when I get a decent car to race in.
Nice breaking nice cornering you have it really i prefer watching you guys all day. I havent tracked cars for 20 years i miss it really. 1M owner greetings from OZ
Initial D in a nutshell! Oh god, I so love all these situations when stoic old boxes calmly catching modern "top" cars into corners.. it is so pure and marvellous automotive magic. Petrol head hot boxes + pure driving skills = this combination is astonishing always. And I love these little roaring beasts engines like B's or 4AGE. :3
Glad you like it! Spending a lot of time to improve the quality of my content and learning a lot with all the after work. Getting better everyday, so you're feedback is worth a lot! Thanks Boss!
