Import Tuner

Karl pisses off more readers!
the primer: An excerpt from our August 2002 issue cover car story. "(Spoon Sports) does, however, support all your favorites: the Civic, the Integra and naturally, the S2000, Honda's two-seat, open top, 9000-rpm rocket pod - the car you should be driving instead of your older brother's '89 Accord. God damn, you hate that Accord don't you? And now the attack begins.
Dear 2NR,
What were you thinking? the third-gen Accord was the best car eve built by Honda. What are you driving, a loud, dropped Civic with 18s and the biggest spoiler you could find? Have some respect for third-gen Accords. S2000s are faster, Civics and Integras have more aftermarket support (and are faster) but my '86 LX is going to be running long after all you kids put your Civics and Tegs into a highway barrier when a Mustang taunts you at a stoplight. And you think your cold air intake makes your D16 into a race car. My car has 187,000 miles, but it never lets me down. The third-gen Accord has a lot of patential, so let's show some respect, OK? Check out www.3geez.com so you can see how serious myself and a few hundred other people are.

Dear 2NR,
I own a third-gen ('86-89) Accounrd and I think that was a real messed up thing to say. Comments like those are exactly why 3g owners pretty much hate ecery 'import' magazine out there - because they have no respect for under-appreciated cars and are biased to cars that are "in". If I could I would take 3g Accord over a Civic or Integra any day, though I should rally be thanking you because comments like those just fuel my fire and make me want to run every Civic and Integra in the ground even more.

Here's what I was thinking (even though Karl is the one responsible for writing that article): Back in 1993, my older brother really did have an '87 Accord Lxi.It has 112k miles on it, and hardly anything worked. You were lucky to get the car started in the morning, the automatic transmission shifted at will, the 500-lb rear hatch wouldn't hold itself up to save it's life and the motor drank oil like it was Red Bull and Vodka. I helped him fix it every weekend for the two years he owned the car (in spite of the fact that its previous owner was a certified Honda mechanic) until it was finally put to sleep in a rear end collision while it was parked (the car was sidelined by our house because it WASN"T RUNNING). So, while I do have some level of respect for the car as a passenger vehicle, I can't imagine that Steph Papadakis is going to run 7s in his tube chasis Lxi hatchback, that Lisa Kubo is going to "strike Accord" in a unibody sedan, or the guys at real time will make that switch to racing '89 Accord Type Rs. So, both of you and the 850 odd posting membes of your forum can check out the title sponser for the IDRC drag racing sanctioning body (www.importing.com) for a few pointers. The title sponser ti Auto Trader Magazines and its web site is www.autotraders.com click on "old skool". Cheers.
