Yeah, I assumed it was possibly because of pancreatic cancer as he has had it before, but was luckily cured. Maybe he wasn't cured for long...

Information and picture from TheTorqueReport Thanks to the economic downturn many automakers are being forced to cut many of their programs, vehicle plans, etc. Most of the most dire news lately has come from the Big 3 U.S. automakers, but now Toyota and Honda are also being forced to make some cuts. Honda recently announced plans to cancel its participation in Formula One and now its being reported that the automaker has canceled plans for the next-generation Acura NSX supercar. Prototypes for the NSX have been seen many times and it was reported that the NSX was going to be Acura's most powerful car ever with a V10 engine putting out way over 500 horsepower. Honda's CEO, Takeo Fukui reportedly made the announcement about the fate of the NSX. It's also being reported that Honda has suspended plans to launch the Acura brand in Japan. Hopefully this news does not also mean that the much needed V8 engine is also in jeopardy. At this point the fate of the V10 engine is unknown. First the LF-A gone, now this?! What's coming next, us being told the GT-R is a lie and never has and never will be produced??

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

6 minutes til new year, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I live 10 minutes from the city and i've not once been to the display there :p. New year's resolution - Go to the display next year :D.

http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/20081216/ap_on_hi_te/tec_apple_jobs This sucks, I loved watching Steve Jobs' keynotes. Even though he degraded Windows so much, he still delivered very interesting and amusing keynotes.

You live in England, we have 200SXs, why would you want a 240SX? And you would really have a Supra or an RX7 as a starting japanese car? They scare the hell out of me, I'd never be brave enough to start off with one of them :p.

Yes it was, they just decided not to continue building for production, but it had a 500hp 5.0 V10 and is quick as hell. EDIT: 1300 posts FTW.

Seen 'em all before, but I must say; Damn, that AMV8 really sounds terrible!

Safety car? Or Opel's new GT1 concept? You decide :D. -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

Lmao, did you take that shot? If so, where? It's incredible!! :D And I'm glad they're releasing some RWD Lamborghini's, I think they'll handle so much better being RWD. Now we just wait until Audi get the message...

Nice, but not sure why they would ever put vinyls on a Lamborghini...

Lmao, brilliant video. Not sure if he actually thought he caught keep up with them though.

The Group A R32 GT-R was a monster, I'm not sure if the R35 will be up to those specs... And the GT1 GT-R is nice, but I'd much rather them bring on a new version of the R390.

1.) Nissan R390 LM 2.) Nissan GT-R (R35) 3.) Lexus LF-A 4.) Honda NSX-R 5.) Toyota Supra RZ (JZA80) 6.) Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II Nur (BNR34) 7.) Mazda RX7 Spirit-R Type-A (FD3S) 8.) Nissan Skyline GT-R N1 (BNR32) 9.) Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR-Edition RS 10.) Nissan Fairlady Z Twin-Turbo (Z32) Enough said.

Already read it, that's why I don't see the difference.

At the end of the day it's just going to be a bus that was spent too much on that will end up vandalised with a beaten up exhaust, most probably before the Olympics (it seems I'm the only one that highly doubts they will be ready for 2012).

I don't see the difference between a hoon and a boy racer; anybody care to explain?? :p Fastest I've been is 135mph in a '94 Civic ESi on a motorway.

Done: CA18DET - 1.8 Turbocharged Inline-4 Cylinder putting out 180hp stock, FR layout, you can pick up 5-speed manuals for £800. And Captain, you have a fantastic dream. I've often thought about how much potential the Cappucino has as a track car. It's shown in that video by how quickly he turns into the corners. However, I've always thought of pushing the dashboard back and fitting an SR20DET into it (stroking it to 2.3 litres would make it a monster) seeing as you can extract up to 700hp from the engine before stroking it up, and just putting a fire extinguisher in the boot :p. But your plan really turns it into a beast. It would take Skylines, Supras, RX7s and Porsches no doubt on the track, but you would need to spend a LONG time on the body to fit the engines. On a number of levels you wouldn't have it as a road car, mainly because of insurance, but you also couldn't just make do with a boot lip spoiler on such a light and powerful car because it would be WAYY too slippery, and I also doubt the legality of a huge wing on it. But I'm sure side-exit exhausts are legal, I've seen a LOT of cars with side-exit exhausts on the road that weren't on the production versions of the car (namely Evos and a few Imprezas). If you ever was to build it, i can haz ride? :thumbsup:

I'll just go down to the Armani Exchange then :p. Harrods is the most expensive place on Earth :p.

Since they went into the next gen market they have gone downhill, but I have Call of Duty 1 & 2 for Xbox and they are brilliant games, but yeah, I didn't think much of Call of Duty 3, and Call of Duty 4 just didn't have the qualities of the other Call of Duties. And World at War is just... FAIL :p.

Lol, trust me, if I post pictures you would see it has in no way been ruined. The exhaust is kind of hidden, not too deep, sounds nice and these are the rims:

I've only used Gimp with X11 a bit, just to see what it was like, but I'll probably go for Aperture 2 at some point next year. And yeah, Gears of War couldn't complete the installation, but the program I was using (CrossOver Games) support Half Life 2 (all the titles in Orange Box), EVE Online, World of Warcraft and various other games. I might just pick up a copy of VMWare Fusion when I have the money, a lot of people use that to play Gears of War and GTA IV.

Ah, ok. I just wondered why they were called concept seeing how they have been released for purchase (saw a few in America). And it's technically not a supercar (had a huge discussion about this a few months ago) but it looked nice, sounded nice, and my one in GT3 had 1041hp. If thats not a supercar I don't know what is ;).

Wow, sounds AMAZING (ty for the vid Rodri ;). Will download it when I get back on my PC :D. The tickover at idle revs sounds amazing, nice work!! ;)

Yeah, I've been using Adium for Mac, it's pretty good, but the XBlaze plug-in didn't work for me :(. And there are many programs out there that simulate Windows system files to allow Windows games to be played on Mac. At the moment I'm installing Gears of War with said program, will say if it works or not ;).
