#UserNotCollector is a term I have been using lately as I very much find things to be tools to perform a job and if they aren't being used in the way they were intended than what is the purpose of owning it. I look at cars like this. Several people have voiced their irritation over my turning a perfectly good Integra Type R into a race car as the values of them continue to climb but ultimately it is just a car. It is a car that Acura built as their pinnacle FWD sport compact performance car of the time...

When building our 2001 Acura Integra Type R Road Race car we looked for opportunities to simplify things in the engine compartment and combining the radiator and oil cooler into one unit was a way to achieve this goal. Packaging gets tight in race car engine bays and the more efficient use of space we can achieve the better overall product we end up with. We commissioned C&R to build us this custom radiator that would be a direct fit for a 1994-2001 Acura Integra (you can probably make this work in a 1992-2000 Honda Civic with custom mounts). The...

If you are anything like me you are always paying attention to what is on the market for race cars. Not necessarily to purchase but to see how other people do things. Check out their cage work, see what engine setup or special pieces are being used to power their cars and then of course you come across serious business race cars like this Formula Lite powered by a Honda HPD 2.4L Engine.

Like other Greddy products this exhaust is top notch quality. It features 76mm piping but transitions down to 2.5" to mate up to your catalytic converter. It fits very well on the chassis and offers a pleasant sound. We have it installed...

Rubber slag, rocks, and debris are all things that are common place on any given race track in the world and protecting your car from those elements is important, particularly your engine compartment. To finish first, first you must finish is a racers mantra that lends its meaning to keeping all of the components of your car in good shape for longevity and looking after all possible wear items. The cooling system is one of those important pieces of your drivetrain that needs to remain in tip top condition to get you to the end of the event, not to...
