Given the head gasket issues that have been plaguing Honda for nearly a decade now, it seems like Honda isn't really gaining any reputation for those issues.

But Subaru, which hasn't had head gasket issues in a decade is still constantly mentioned with Head Gasket failure.

How long will it take Honda to receive an everlasting reputation for those issues? Will they continue to coast on the idea of top tier reliability?

Description;

I got the opportunity to drive the Acura Integra Type S with HRC Performance Parts prototype at the Nürburgring Nordschleife!

Developed by Honda Racing Corporation USA (HRC), this special Integra Type S features a range of motorsport-inspired upgrades being evaluated and refined at the Nürburgring.

The development package features:

• HRC / 2-Elle lightweight forged wheels

• KW performance suspension with adjustable dampers

• Brembo performance brake system

• ACUITY high-performance short-throw shifter

• HRC Formula R engine oil

• Track-focused tyres and chassis setup

• cooling upgrades, new hood

How does this upgraded Integra Type S perform on the Nordschleife? Join me for a drive and find out!

So, they have a few more parts planned than just the wheels luckily, but I think still quite disappointed, none of this is particularly uniquely OEM quality & you could make your own HRC type-r/s at home w/ a day & a few grand already, its a fraction of what the 2025 ITS HRC proto had

Especially disappointing since the former type-s guy is the HRC boss now, leading the performance parts programme, he was behind that proto in large part, & theres that HRC concept FL5 type-r sitting around somewhere w/ an akrapovic exhaust & real body differences

A common theme if you search for "black paint car", is that everyone telling others what a horrible/bad decision it is to get a black car, but how about we all list what we love about our black beauties.

I'll start with mine: I feel like black accentuates the creases and bodywork shapes in a nice lightning like a sunset.

Watched the video from the guys at Throttle House, and honestly, this is the first car that looked super promising from the beginning, but really fell apart for me as the video went on.

It largely just seems like they pushed out a car for a cash grab for those that value nostalgia, but didn't do any proper engineering for it. Especially for the price of $150k, I would expect more refinement.

Take the B58, ZF8 speed transmission, throw some wood framing on it, and make the exterior gorgeous, but do nothing else​.

Hell, the Key is like a $1 remote for LED lights you have in your home.

The new Bugatti Tourbillon promises to be seminal, as it combines a 1000hp naturally aspirated V16 with a triple-motor 800hp hybrid system. That hybrid system is the enabler, allowing the unique 8.3-litre V16 engine to exist, and… wow! What a noise! We hitched a ride with Bugatti boss Mate Rimac to hear the Tourbillon’s incredible V16 at full chat!
