[Fred]

Not much of a Honda fan myself, but I gotta kick out of this one.

Crazy Belgians ...sorry if it's a repost.

Hahaha that was crazy. I laughed atthe bananas :rofl:

I thought it was funny how they poured a bucket of water into it, then checked the dipstick a few times. What are they worried about, overfilling the crankcase? :D

B16 = DOHC VTEC, that's SOHC from what I saw, so D16 engine. or D15. I dunno.

but crazy indeed.

wow....gievs me a new respect for honda motors indeed....especially the 1.5L SOHC

16valve sohc 4banger?

Either way I got bored at the part where they filled it with water.

[Mystikal]

Looks like a D15(?) to me.

But shit, even more respect to Honda engines after watching that one live for so long.

wow....water for oil and no coolant and it runs at 6gran+ for like 7 minutes? im impressed.

[bmwannabe]

it was kinda boring, but interesting too. were they bouncing it off the limiter, or was it just stumbling from all the water inside?

That's nothing. You should see the clarkson vid where he takes a toyota truck and tries to kill it. He does everything from ramming it into walls, trees, small sheds, dropping from 20ft in the air, letting it get tossed around in the ocean (cylinders filled wih salt water), lighting it on fire and finally putting it on top of a building that was blown up (demolished). After all that, it still ran and drove with no parts changed other then a broken windshield. Proves how tough old toyotas are.

funny ive done the same thing (well almost). i used to work at a toyota repair shop and a customer donated a '94 civic. i dont know wich motor it had (a four banger) but we put oil in the cooling system because coolant was seaping at all hoses...........anyways we used it to pick up parts down the street for awhile and then on a little bbq we had we ran it at like 6-7 grand for about, around 8 min and it through two crank rods through the block, it was SICK, and then we crancked the starter until it broke and we made a HUGE hole in the block.

pointless story but i thought you guys would enjoy. 8)

I saw that episode. Top Gear or 5th Gear is the greatest show on earth. If anyone has limewire I highly suggest downloading a few clips or episodes. It also comes on Speed Channel at my dad's place I don't know if non-satelite people would get it though. Very entertaining show.
