This one is a show but it's the little 4 port 13B that could.

Here's another lady that bought an FD because of Initial D and divorced her first husband because he kept bugging her to sell it!

What's everyone thought on Adam LZ 4 rotor? I found his last two videos very interesting as it was neat to see how those changes impacted HP and the sound of the car.

I know you've initiated a few conversations about this subject in the past on here and FB, and I may have come across as a 'hater' in some of my comments, but that was never my intention. I'm happy for them that they are on the right track now, and good on Kenny for helping to point them in the right direction.

I feel a bit of validity in my pervious statements on what I thought was wrong with the sound. I always felt it had to do with "firing order" but I was not knowledgeable enough to understand how that could be off, when the firing order/phasing of the rotors is exactly the same as everyone else's 4 rotors. The order in which each runner goes into the collector defiantly seems to be the reason the soundwaves were crashing into each other, making it sound like something was wrong with the engine.

^ don't remember the comments but I wouldn't have thought of you as a hater. I just think the stuff he is doing is cool and was just trying to generate some conversations.

Wow this was an awesome little homage to Initial D from Red bull. Bonus for having a few famous jdm racers but would've been extra cool if they posted sector times imo.

that is cool! if you want more Honda craziness, try this

in the late 1960's Mr Honda wanted to go bike racing, and all the fast ones at the time were two stroke. Mr Honda did not like two strokes, so they did a 4 stroke and spun it twice as fast.
its a straight 6, revving to 19,000rpm.... i think 250cc and 60hp

Of possible interest. Just some viewing for a snowy day (here). Really like the Hagerty channel on the Samsung TV Plus app.
