Going out in a forest fire

Following consideration of FIA regulations for this year's racing season, the LTRD official car for the season has been changed from our LS1 swapped 2002 Saturn SL wagon with drag parachute and AWD conversion to a 1992 Honda EG Hatch with a few basic mods.

This decision ultimately stems from FIA's new 2017 regulations that ban AWD conversions on vehicles that did not offer a factory spec AWD system, thereby rendering our Saturn godmachine ineligible to compete. Consequently, we have opted to switch our operations to a factory spec 1992 Honda EG hatch that we purchased on Kijiji for "like 500 bucks." Currently we have planned a few basic mods to ensure our model is able to compete at the pro GT level.

The original engine has been replaced with a Nitrous shot boosted, twin charged LS1 engine and the transmission was replaced with a twin clutch automatic out of a 2004 V6 accord to handle the extra power. Weight has been reduced where possible, with the original gas tank being replaced with a plastic alternative and the rollcage being made out of PVC pipe for a SUPREME balance between weight and structural intergrity. All panels have been swapped with carbon fibre ones and the rear tires were downsized to 12'' rims with bald tires we got at a junkyard as the platform is funwheeldrive anyways (the only place the power should ever be). The original speakers were replaced with about 12 subs in the trunk set to play eurobeat at a beat according to the speed of the automobile.

We thank everyone who will come out for this year's racing season and would like to once again thank our sponsors over at Autozone and Little Tree.
