The Pursuit Of Function

[JDMxDB8]

That's how I got where I am today. Starts with a Honda, you start modifying it, then you touge, start going to HPDEs, now I'm training to become a time attack/road race driver.

I heard you guys were some of the biggest track guys on club integra. I'm still new to this and it seems like you guys came a long way.:thumbs up I'm still into touge, it's just really risky at sometimes. Road racing sounds really great, how did you guys end up on that route btw?

I didn't intend on tracking my DB8 until I joined TrackHQ. I went to a touge cruise with some of the members who track their cars regularly. They convinced me to go with them to the track. And these are older guys (30s, 40s, 50s) with 911 Carreras, Evos, STis, etc.... I went to one track day with them and I was hooked.

If you want to check out what a track day is like, come on out with us to Buttonwillow on July 31st.

Man, that'd be great just wish I had the budget to start going to the track. I still have loans for school to pay off. So maybe in the future I'll give it a shot. On the mean time, the touge would just have to do for now.

Great video. Id like to have seen some other brands besides Honda though. Yea Honda started it, but this vid was made after 01 (the latest reference date I heard) so I think some other brands in there would have been interesting. I like to really see a vid talking about the upstart of the Jap and Euro scene and how they inter-mesh. That would be cool.


Also, watch this vid and think about tire stretch, thats all i'll say...

Sorry Speedin, I know there were other brands out there that did the same, but never caught on video .Btw by tire stretch are your talking about the "hella flush" scene ? It's just another car trend to me bro.

Oh dont apologize. Its still a sick vid, I was more wishful thinking :lol:.

And yea I am talking about the hella flush scene. I'll add a quote from that movie to emphasize my views "Function never goes out of style."

True that. There is always going to be fashion to counter the function, but the function will never die out
(there i just made my own quote lol)

Cool video, lots of Seattle love.
One of the guys Evan Herling own his own shop down in Vancouver now, very reputable with the Honda scene over here.
I liked when they described how the "JDM scene" came over it was just people "buying the quality parts they wanted, keeping the style they enjoyed" that's a great approach to have on your car.

I actually started posting not so long ago haha, I've never really been the type to post on forums. But in this case Club Integra is actually a lot better for me lol, I have an account for club rsx but that forum is pretty harsh lol imo..

It is, either if it was just another trend it actually changed how tuning style developed.

Great documentary, makes you really appreciate the hard work that you put in your car and the many others that do too.

Also, it shows that all those who share the love for the Honda game can all relate on so many different levels
