Mmmm. Fatass fender flares. Looks good except for the last couple pics with the rear wheels half covered.

Yeah I still haven't figured out what that's all about. The Facebook group I stumbled across that had all these pics showed other makes from the series, and some of them had those rear wheel fairings as well. It's neat looking, but it makes you a little. Either way though...race cars are always awesome.

I've always loved the 1st gen Insight....especially after LHT Performance did the first K swap on one.

The owner was also the first person to do the K swap on the CR-Z. I think it's pretty awesome that he bought one off the showroom floor, took it home, immediately started ripping it apart, then got it swapped while retaining all the dashboard functions.

You can see in action here (40s)




and here (22s)




These videos were taken in the tests of the race in the street of Buenos Aires on March 30 last.

In the photos with the rear wheel covered the car was modified for a test which sought the Argentine record speed in a circuit. This is the video of that event.

I love how in the first couple pics the tv has soccer coverage, lol. A guy from the national team is being interviewed.

[mattsbobo]

amartine Welcome to the site! Thanks for sharing the vids, your great pics, and most importantly your insight about the cars and race series.

Are you like me (a Civic owner & huge race fan) or are you involved with the race series somehow?

Where are you from? I was born in Argentina but moved to the states back in '89

Soooo aggressive looking! Love it.

That is one mean Honda!

How come the front is lower than the back? I assume it has to do with better handling/steer.
