So what if he autocrosses? A kid wiht a license and his grama's Buick can participate in autox.

The guy with the skull RX-8 is from Oregon and I've met him. He owns quite a few Mazdas including a full race FD, when I met him he was driving his street FD and it was clean and stock looking. He was telling me about his RX-8 and apparently he went overboard for a laugh... which he got. Poor 8.

He is a member here from New Zealand. I think I saw his car in a magazine once.

^ According to Mazda Sport, it's "RXTASY", a company he owns that makes custom RX-8 parts.

This one was in California:


The T-Mobile "Poser" car :


Who here remembers www.riceboypage.com?

Bryan's Rice-Boy Hall of Shame Vol. 11
Welcome to the first new hall of shame of the millenium!! It's kind of short, but sweet, mostly centered around one car, but it really does deserve a hall of shame all it's own! This CRX was found by an associate in the bay area of California, thanks for sending this in!


Let me count the ways...

Here we see a CRX, in yellow (which we all know is the color of every serious race car), with an interesting, but highly stylish pinstriping job. But what really jumps out are the side skirts made of sheet metal, adding an enormous amount of aerodynamic efficiency at a minimum of added weight. It also provides much-needed sticker space for the all important "Powered By Honda" sticker, to clear up any confusion in case you thought that bumble bee sound was coming from an American V8. But if you weren't intimidated by the powered by Honda warning, perhaps the speeding fireball sticker will convince you that this car is indeed as fast as a speeding fireball. But not just any speeding fireball -- a closer inspection of the front fender reveals a fake "Integra Type-R" badge... could this be another identity crisis?


The truth is out there...

Trust no one. Or at least, trust yourself. Trust yoruself to never be as tacky as this guy. Here we see yet another example of home-made body kit action, complete with slick, visible bolts holding the skirt on every three inches or so. The cutouts make room for the dual, non-matching 4" exhaust tips, which help to expell the massive amounts of exhaust gas that the CRX's ground-pounding, sub 2.0 liter engine produces.


//TRD Power

Did I mention an identity crisis? How about that big Toyota Racing Development banner? No wonder he needed the "Powered By Honda" on the side. His banner might have fooled you into thinking he swapped in a twin-turbo Supra engine in there (yeah right). Maybe he got that hood scoop for... I don't know what. And here we see a continuation of that very stylish application of pinstriping. And let's not forget to put another Integra Type-R sticker near the headlight, in case you missed the badge that was on the side fender, about 14 inches away.


Mad (simulated) stopping powazzz

Of course, every well-rounded performance car has added stopping power to go with their added power production, which makes it completely appropriate that the owner of this CRX has simulated additional stopping power for his simulated additional power from the engine. Rather than let anyone see his tiny drum brakes, this person decided to install some fake cross drilled brake rotors to complete his simulated-performance package.
