Podcasts about Honda Prelude

Confieso que soy un fan del sistema de 4 ruedas directrices, que me parece una solución muy interesante para coches muy diferentes. Y te preguntarás: “Y entonces, ¿por qué no se usa más?” y mi respuesta es que usa en más coches de los que piensas… Un video muy completo con historia, actualidad y técnica en nuestra “Pizarra hermética”. Y vamos ya con el tema comenzando por la técnica, para explicar a aquellos que no lo sepan, porque me consta que muchos ya lo sabéis, cómo funciona la dirección a las cuatro ruedas. La dirección a las cuatro ruedas funciona de modo diferente a baja y alta velocidad. A baja velocidad las ruedas posteriores giran en sentido opuesto a las delanteras, para mejorar el radio de giro mientras que a alta velocidad giran, no demasiado, en el mismo sentido que las anteriores, un efecto que en otros coches se consigue con suspensiones multibrazo. Todo esto te lo contamos con nuestra “Pizarra Hermética”: He confeccionado una lista con coches de dirección total que me parecen interesantes, comenzando por los pioneros y terminando con coches muy actuales, muchos de los cuales podríais comprar hoy mismo. Stoewer R180 (1936). Hablamos de la desaparecida marca Stoewer, pero este mismo coche se produjo con la denominación BMW325, Hanomag Type 20B y el citado Stoewer R180 y también el R200. Mercedes-Benz 170 VL (1936). En los mimos años Mercedes ofreció un modelo similar, con motor de 1,7 litros y 36 CV que permitían una velocidad máxima de nada menos que 82 km/h… quizás algo optimista. Nissan Skyline R31 (1985). Los japoneses han sido probablemente los primeros en utilizar estos sistemas en coches de series digamos, importantes. La serie Skyline de Nissan es mítica, pero el R31 aparecido en 1985 suponía un paso importante respecto al R30. Honda Prelude (1988). Hablamos obviamente del modelo de la tercera generación, la que va de 1988 a 1991 y en la que debutó el sistema 4WS de “Four Wheel Steering” o dirección a las cuatro ruedas. Lo curioso de este sistema era que resultaba muy sencillo porque era totalmente mecánico. Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR4 (1990). Muchas veces hablo de este coche, a menudo olvidado, y es que era un total compendio de tecnología, con motor V6 de 3 litros, 24 válvulas, dos turbos, 280 CV, aerodinámica activa, suspensión adaptativa, escape con control electrónico, tracción total y dirección total. Mazda MX6 (1991). En este caso hablamos de la segunda generación, la que va desde 1991 a 1997 y que monto un sistema, en este caso electrónico, de dirección a las cuatro ruedas en su modelo más alto de gama, con motor 2.5 V6 de 165 CV. Toyota Mega Cruiser (1995). Dado su tamaño, claramente más de 5 metros, y peso, casi 3 toneladas, se le instalo un sistema de dirección total que solo funcionaba a baja velocidad para mejorar la maniobrabilidad… Renault Laguna 4Control (2007). Me resulta curioso de este sistema que es nada menos que hasta los 60 km/h cuando las ruedas giran en sentido opuesto a las delanteras… eso sí, gracias a la gestión electrónica, menos cuando más alta es la velocidad… a partir de esa velocidad, giran unos grados en el mismo sentido que las delanteras. BMW Serie 7 (2009). Hablamos de la 5ª generación que llegó a España de 2009 y que ofrecía como opción en gran parte de su gama este sistema de dirección total. Este sistema con una muy buena gestión electrónica tiene en cuenta muchos parámetros para elegir hacia dónde y qué número de grados gira las ruedas traseras. Ahora, simplemente os paso un listado con algunos de los modelos que usan este sistema… insisto, es una lista que no es exhaustiva, pero si bastante completa: -Audi A6 (2018) -Audi A8 (2019) -Audi Q7 (2020) -BMW Serie 5 (2018) -BMW Serie 7 (2019) -BMW Serie 8 (2023) -Ferrari GTC4 Lusso (2019) -Hyundai Genesis HTRAC (2015) -Lamborghini Aventador S (2018) -Lamborghini Urus (2018) -Mercedes-Benz EQS (2023) -Mercedes-Benz Clase S (2023) -Porsche 911 (2018) -Porsche Cayenne (2018) -Porsche Panamera (2023) -Renault Megane RS (2021) -Renault Talisman (2018) -Renault Espace (2018) -Volkswagen Touareg (2020) “Monstruo” del día. Ni coche ni camión ni ningún trasto más o menos normal… el vehículo del día es un “Monster Truck”, cualquiera me vale, un ejemplo de como la dirección a las cuatro ruedas permite una maniobrabilidad sorprendente para cacharros de semejante envergadura… Ver moverse a estos monstruos en sitios tan estrechos es impresionante… y solo posible gracias a la dirección total.

BMW is back in the news with the 2025 BMW M5. However, the news making headlines isn't about the 717HP it has, but the added weight it put on in the winter. Honda confirms the new Prelude for the European market, but things are not as the enthusiasts dream. Mercedes is backing off their original EV plan, and debuting a track-oriented supercar. Ford shows off a near-carbon copy of the Polestar Ev, called a Ford Capri. The GR Corolla gets a new transmission, Mustang GTD buyers are given an exclusive paint option, the Goodwood Festival of Speed is happening, and much more. It was a fairly packed news week for cars and some good opinions from my side on the automotive industry and trends.

Der Honda Prelude BA 4 – Der Allradlenker Mit dem Prelude BA 4 schuf Honda 1987 den dritten und erfolgreichsten Renner aus der Prelude-Serie. Übersetzt bedeutet der Name soviel wie Aufbruch, Auftakt oder Einleitung und war mit Bedacht gewählt. Der Prelude war nämlich Hondas Technologieträger. Seit Beginn der Modellserie 1978 bis zum Ende der fünften Generation im Jahr 2002 diente das Sportcoupé vor allem für die Großserien-Erprobung neuer Technologien. Waren es in den ersten beiden Serien vor allem motorspezifische Technologien und Details der Radaufhängung, die erprobt wurden, ist es beim BA 4 vor allem die 4WS-Technologie als Alleinstellungsmerkmal im gesamten automobilen PKW-Sektor. Dabei steht 4WS für Four-Wheel-Stering also Lenkung für alle vier Räder. Im Klartext: vom 1987 bis 1992 waren im Prelude gegen Aufpreis beide Achsen mechanisch gelenkt. Das führte zu einem engen Wendekreis und zu einer hervorragenden Straßenlage, die so gut war, dass Tuner vom Einbau eines Sport-Fahrwerks absahen. Es war keine nennenswerte Verbesserung zu erzielen. Zusätzlich punktete der Prelude durch sein flaches, keilförmiges Design und seine Klappscheinwerfer. Insgesamt 30.000 Stück wurden in Deutschland zugelassen, davon übrig sind laut KBA gerade mal knapp 800. Schlechte Zeiten also für Prelude-Ersatzteile. Frederic und Ron finden den Prelude richtig gut. Oli fremdelt ein wenig – trotz der Klappscheinwerfer. Was das alles mit Bordsteinkanten, Schienen und dem VW Scirocco zu tun hat – das erfahrt ihr in diesem Podcast.

Welcome to Our True Crime Podcast's original “12 Nightmares Before Christmas,” where we discuss a true crime story daily for the days leading up to December 24. Make sure to like, subscribe, and tune in each day.On June 2, 1985, the Southern San Francisco police department received a report of a shoplifting incident. A man calmly exited a store with a tool called a vice, placed it in the trunk of a beige 1980 Honda Prelude, and vanished before apprehension could occur. Officer Daniel Wright reported to the South City Lumberyard. Inside the car was a man who presented a driver's license identifying him as Robin Stapley. One issue: the license photo did not match the man sitting in front of them. License plates on the vehicle indicated that it was registered to an individual named Lonnie Bond, and the car was listed as a Buick. Growing suspicious, officers got into the trunk and discovered the vice that had been reported as stolen. Also inside the trunk is a .22-caliber revolver fitted with a silencer. The unknown man was taken into the station, where he adamantly denied any involvement in any wrongdoing. What would unfold in the next several days is unthinkable.Join Jen and Cam of Our True Crime Podcast as we discuss The Torture Dungeon of Charles Ng and Leonard Lake: Day 11 of The 12 Nightmares Before Christmas.Listener Discretion by @octoberpodVHSMusic by our EP Nico @theinkypawprintSources:http://articles.latimes.com/1999/jan/08/news/mn-61708https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2199&dat=19850616&id=2tsxAAAAIBAJ&pg=6662,3773323&hl=enhttp://www.biography.com/people/charles-ng-11735781#synopsishttp://articles.latimes.com/1999/apr/12/news/mn-26600https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2199&dat=19850616&id=2tsxAAAAIBAJ&pg=6662,3773323&hl=enhttp://www.ocregister.com/articles/county-289813-convicted-murders.htmlhttp://articles.latimes.com/1999/apr/21/local/me-29591https://web.archive.org/web/20110308053131/http://www.francesfarmersrevenge.com/stuff/serialkillers/miranda.htmThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3647242/advertisement

The Honda Prelude looked like a million bucks, but unfortunately only went like thirty bucks. This parts-bin special sports car debuted several new technologies and even humbled supercars in some tests. So it must be kinda good, but which is the best? And will Adam trade his motorcycle for one? That's this week on Best in Class.

ill returns to the studio for a topic-packed episode. In the first segment Jill recounts for Tom the highpoints of her recent participation in the Rebelle Rally. Tom is impressed that Jill sustained no serious injuries. Jill also gave an update on the North American Car of the Year (NACTOY) voting process. NACTOY finalists should be announced during the Los Angeles Auto Show. Jill also spent some time with the all-new Chevrolet Silverado EV. Jill came away generally impressed, and noted that the truck's key selling point is battery range. Tom discussed briefly the Mazda Iconic SP concept car, seen at the Toyota Motor Show, which may be a harbinger of the next generation of the MX-5 Miata.  In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions to the show. Sam shared his thoughts on a number of topics including the UAW Strike, the UAW's inability to unionize transplant automakers, the state of the EV market, and why Tesla is cutting prices so dramatically. Sam also talked about his new webcast—found on YouTube—called “Afternoons! with Kendra and Sam.” In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Honda or Hallmark” quiz, and Tom talked about another Tokyo Motor Show reveal, the Honda Prelude Concept. The McDonald's Canadian menu also came up. 

From Toyota showing off their newest GR, Gazoo Racing sports car, the Toyota FT Se concept, Mazda showcasing a return to beautiful car design, with the Iconic SP Concept, and Nissan giving us an alien-level concept, with the Hyper Force Concept, the Tokyo Mobility Show had something for everyone. Honda also made a splash with the return of the then legend... the Honda Prelude. Also in this episode, I cover what Subaru is passing off as our future of mobility, new concepts for drag tracks, and incredible records set by a Dodge Neon. Tokyo proved that auto shows can return to the glory days and I hope that this helps spark manufacturers to get back to those days for larger markets in the US. Wrapping up this episode are some quick thoughts on the upcoming SEMA Show and my excitement for what is to come in the aftermarket space.

This week: What My 1988 Honda Prelude Teaches Me About “Balance”  

Converting a FWD Honda to a RWD platform is not easy task, but it does come with some solid benefits as we will discuss looking at this F20c powered space framed Honda Prelude [TECH TOUR].Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inWith an Ethanol fed, 24-26 PSI boosted, 9,000 RPM 750hp Dandy Engines F20c boasting Eagle Rods, factory crank and camshafts (because they're that good), aftermarket pistons, SuperTech valves and a new Garrett G35-900, this Fastr sponsored RWD converted Honda Prelude is no slouch in its regular appearances in the ACL Race Series.Professional driver Brett Dickie took a few moments while at the World Time Attack Challenge to discuss his build (with the help of his skilled father) discussing the some of the advantages the rear wheel drive (RWD) conversion gives a driver behind the wheel along with his thoughts in passing on EMtrons torque management system.As you might have guessed, the car runs an ProWire Performance Wiring fitted EMtron KV8 ECU along with a MoTeC CDL dash for some extra logging bandwidth and driver display duties which Brett felt was the best combination he could get for performance and his requirements without blowing out the budget too far. We caught up with Brett just before his first run with the new Garrett G35-900 turbocharger which is replacing a 3076 and we look forward to getting his thoughts on a comparison next time we chat along with some of the data this system can and will provide him with as he and his team gets it all dialed in with the help of a Turbosmart E-Gate (electronic wastegate), DBW blow off valve, MAP sensors pre and post the throttle body and an exhaust pressure sensor.With no bolt-on solution available, the dry sump setup is a mix of BDG dry sump components and a custom sump, with Brett sharing some thoughts on what he has learnt and would do differently second time around. Tucked behind the F series engine is a 6 speed TTi GTO sequential gearbox and Motorsport Services strain gauge lever which feeds a GJ Drivelines driveshaft and R200 LSD diff center nicked from a Nissan Skylines rear end. The Nissan parts list also includes the uprights, with 300ZX ones used to help try and reign in custom work and give more bolt in part options, and of course being something that physically worked with the package.Also touched on are some of the boost control strategies employed, but Brett is pretty straight up that his knowledge is more focused on being behind the wheel than behind the laptop, and with 20+ years of it his no doubt his feedback goes a long way to help dial things in for race day.You can catch Brett and this build racing in the ACL Race Series, and you can catch Brett racing other cars like the previous title winning Elusive Racing DC2 Integra at the World Time Attack Challenge as well as other cars in Global Time Attack and Pikes Peak Hill Climb events.

¡Hablemos de coches japoneses! Todos estamos de acuerdo: Por lo general, son muy fiables. Y eso les convierte en buenos coches clásicos. Además, hay muchos modelos, muchas variantes y, en España, no son muy conocidos. Por eso hay posibilidades de comprar coches, incluso por menos de 5.000 €, pensando en que se conviertan en una buena inversión. A ver, ¡no nos vamos a hacer ricos! Bueno, quizás alguno con mucho dinero y espacio sí pudiera conseguirlo. Pero si te vamos a dar ideas de coches que podrás disfrutar sabiendo que tu inversión se va a mantener y, con algo de suerte, poco, va a revalorizarse. Los coches viejos, antiguos, clásicos, youngtimer o como quieras llamarlos, son una buena inversión. Sucede como en la bolsa: A corto y medio plazo puede bajar o subir, pero a largo plazo siempre sube. Y eso pasa con los coches… si eliges bien modelo y compras un coche en buen estado. En mi opinión los coches japoneses en España siguen estando algo infravalorados, yo creo que por que se conocen poco. Por supuesto, con la excepción de Canarias, donde siempre ha habido y sigue habiendo muchos coches japoneses. Veréis que hay mucho coche deportivo… lógico. Cuando son buenos son los que más mantienen su valor y más se revalorizan. Y vamos por orden cronológico. 1. Toyota Celica (1985) El Toyota Celica es un deportivo que hoy en día aún sigue siendo atractivo, del que se encuentran numerosas unidades a la venta muy interesantes y a precio razonable, sobre todo si te “sales” de la idea de comprar el 4WD. La versión 2.0 16v de 150 CV es muy interesante y en España la puedes encontrar a partir de los 10.000 €. 2. Toyota Supra (1986) ¡Confieso que me encanta la primera generación de 1971, que en Canarias sí se ve! Como diré de otro coche de esta lista, se cotizan, pero se van a cotizar más. Hablo de la 3ª Generación, porque en España, en la península, la más conocida era la cuarta, realmente precioso, pero llegó, casi con cuenta gotas. Lo más interesante: El “salto” de precio entre las 3ª generación y la 4ª es espectacular. He visto coches de 1989, la versión 3.0 litros de 204 CV por menos de 15.000 € 3. Mitsubishi Eclipse (1995) La 2ª generación de este deportivo compacto japonés llegó a España a principios de los años noventa. Su acertada estética y sus buenos acabados y equipamiento lo hacen un japonés muy atractivo para coleccionar. Puedes encontrar la versión con motor de gasolina de 2 litros y 141 CV, ¡incluso por menos de 5.000 €! Y, en general, curiosamente, con pocos kilómetros. 4. Honda Prelude (1997) ¡Una verdadera joya! Que tengo el convencimiento que cuando el mercado “filtre” un poco y vayan desapareciendo las peores, se revaloriza. Hablamos de la 5ª Generación llegó al mercado español a finales de los años noventa con motor 2.2 VTEC de gasolina, que daba 184 CV. Curiosamente no tuvo un gran éxito de ventas aquí, así que podemos encontrar todavía unidades en el mercado a precios muy asequibles: desde 5.000 euros. Una inversión segura y que mientras se revaloriza o no, disfrutaremos mucho. 5. Suzuki Jimny (1998) Lo avise cuando hablaba del Supra, este es otro modelo que está caro, pero que nunca va a bajar de precio. Por supuesto, hablo de la 3ª generación, que en España fue la primera porque los modelos anteriores no se llamaron Jimny. Insisto, están caros, difícil encontrar uno bueno por menos de 10.000 €, pero te aseguro que no van a bajar, más bien van a subir, porque, entre otras cosas, cada vez hay menos coches de TT. 6. Toyota Prius (2000) ¡No todos van a ser deportivos! Y de la primera generación, de la que en España se vendieron 11 unidades en el 2000 a más de 50.000 ahora. Este modelo sentó las bases de la tecnología híbrida, fue en un producto innovador, muy bien hecho y feo con ganas… hoy lo puedes comprar por menos de 10.000 €… dentro de 10 años, ¿Cuánto crees que podrá valer los que sobrevivan? Y dentro de 10 años, poner una batería nueva a un Prius será más barato y la batería mejor. 7. Mazda RX8 (2002) Para mí, una futura “pera en dulce”. Primero, porque por el Mazda RX8 parece que no pase el tiempo… ¡y ya tiene 20 años! Además es el último de su especie, deportivo rotativo… y esto no parece que vaya a cambiar. Y es un coche que puedes conseguir por poco más de ¡5.000 €! Os lo digo en serio, yo estoy buscando uno, porque en mi modesta opinión, sí o sí, este coche se va a revalorizar… 8. Nissan 350Z (2002) Y tras una pera en dulce, otra. Un coche que conozco bien porque tuve uno… y que muchas veces echo de menos… Motor V6 de 3,5 litros y 280CV, excelente posición de conducción, buen bastidor, estética espectacular… Confieso que me gusta más que su sucesor, el 370Z. Ya es un coche que se está sobrevalorando, hace unos años estaban más baratos… pero van a seguir subiendo… Si te das prisa, en España, los puedes encontrar todavía por unos 15.000 €, pero los buenos valen más… pero valen la pena. 9. Mazda MX5 NC (2005) Quizás se esté convirtiendo en el nuevo “patito feo” de la gama Mazda MX5, sobre todo si te conformas con la versión 1.6 de 110 CV, en mi opinión más que suficientes para un descapotable. Supone una gran mejora sobre el NB, para mi es más bonito y la buena noticia es que los puedes encontrar por menos de 10.000 € con muy pocos kilómetros y es un coche duro y fiable… y extremadamente divertido. 10. Honda Civic (2007) Hablamos de la 8ª generación, para muchos el más feo…. Pero al que el paso del tiempo le ha sentado bien. En mi opinión, cuando salió, quizás porque era demasiado adelantado a su tiempo… a mí me parece más bonito ahora.Si te empeñas en el Type R o versiones tope de gama, pues te costará un dinerito, pero muchos menos por ejemplo si te conformas con la versión 2.2 litros de 140 CV, un motor muy agradable y un coche de muy buen comportamiento y muy bien acabado. ¿Cuánto menos? Lo puedes encontrar incluso por menos de 5.000 € Conclusión. Fácil, breve y directa… ¡a que esperas! Lo confieso, de estos 10 coches hay al menos 5 que me gustaría comprar… ¿y tú?

We're talking to Greg Crick on this week's episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast. In the first part of a three-part chat, Cricky talks about growing up just over a mile from the Longford road circuit in Tasmania, watching the F1 heroes of the day and deciding to go racing himself. He also talks about some of the wild machines he raced early in his career, from his first FJ Holden and a turbocharged XU-1 Torana, through to a speedway-inspired Mazda RX-7 sports sedan and his iconic Australian title-winning Honda Prelude. He also shares some hilarious stories (including the time he was ‘arrested' by Victoria Police's Armed Robbery Squad during Sandown 500 practice!) and his first time racing in the Bathurst 1000. He also explains his decision to turn his attention to touring car racing, plus becoming teammates with Sir Jack Brabham in winning the inaugural Targa Tasmania.

¿Sabes que hay coches con dirección a las cuatro ruedas? Más de los que crees. ¿Y qué puede ser más interesante que la tracción a las cuatro ruedas? En asfalto, seguro. Y… ¿sabes que las ruedas traseras unas veces se mueven como las delanteras y otras, al contrario? La dirección a las cuatro ruedas no es algo que sea precisamente la última tecnología pues Honda, Mazda y Nissan lo usaron en los años 80, es decir, hace 40 años. Confieso que viendo sobre el papel el funcionamiento y probando los coches que lo llevaban siempre me pregunté por qué este sistema había caído en el olvido. Mis dudas han sido oídas y este sistema ha vuelto, con fuerza y en mi opinión, para quedarse. Pero, antes de seguir, veamos cómo funciona. ¿Mecánica o electrónica? En la totalidad de los coches que conozco el sistema de dirección gira las ruedas traseras en el mismo sentido que las delanteras, pero menos grados, o en sentido contrario. ¿De qué depende? En el caso de los de los sistemas mecánicos, la inmensa minoría, en función del ángulo de giro del volante. En los sistemas electrónicos se tiene en cuenta el giro, pero sobre todo la velocidad del coche. Por ejemplo, en el sistema de VAG esa barrera está en los 37 km/h. Me voy a centrar en los sistemas electrónicos, los usados en la actualidad y los más inteligentes. Baja velocidad: Manejabilidad. A baja velocidad las ruedas traseras giran en sentido opuesto a las delanteras. El objetivo es conseguir que aumente la manejabilidad, el coche gira 180 en mucho menos espacio, como si fuese de batalla más corta. Alta velocidad: Estabilidad. Los sistemas de suspensión trasero multibrazo o el famoso eje Weissach que debutó y murió con el Porsche 928 tienen y tenían el mismo objetivo: Que cuando el eje trasero sufre una fuerte aceleración lateral, la rueda trasera apunte hacia el interior. Esto consigue “sujetar” entre comillas, el eje trasero y confiere al coche mucha más estabilidad. Con la dirección total, sobre todo la electrónica, conseguimos ese mismo objetivo, pero de forma más precisa y oportuna. Pero es que, además, en maniobras de esquiva o de cambio de carril, es una ayuda fantástica. De nuevo os lo explico brevemente en la pizarra… La prehistoria. Os decía que los sistemas de dirección total se comenzaron a emplear en los 80… lo que es falso. Se comenzaron a usar en coches de turismo en los 80, pero ya se habían usado en coches de TT para conseguir una mayor manejabilidad. Lo usó en 1931 el fabricante alemán Stoewer en un coche que era 4WD y 4WS. Con idéntica intención lo usó Mercedes Benz en su modelo militar 170 VL que conseguía una manejabilidad ejemplar a baja velocidad, pero a partir de 35 km/h el sistema se desconectaba… como os digo, el objetivo era conseguir maniobrabilidad en espacios pequeños. Los pioneros. Mi primer contacto con un coche de dirección a las cuatro ruedas fue con el Honda Prelude 2.2 VTEC de la tercera generación, los fabricados entre 1988 y 1991. Con muy poca diferencia de tiempo probé el Mazda MX6 de la segunda generación, otro coche precioso, con potencia similar y con sistema Four Wheel Steering pero electrónico que discriminaba si las ruedas trasera giraban a uno u otro sentido a partir de los 35 km/h. El sistema de Nissan es anterior y se denomina #HICAS que viene de High Capacity Active Steering. Era de lejos el más desarrollado y su usó en muchos coches como los Skyline R31 de 1985 y otros deportivos como el Nissan 300ZX. Sobre todo, a alta velocidad su funcionamiento me parecía ejemplar. En la actualidad. Se podría decir que es Renault, en 2007, la marca que vuelve a poner de moda el sistema de 4WS al montarlo en el Laguna GT con el nombre de “4Control”. Lo cierto es que el Laguna ganaba mucho con este sistema como reconocieron todos los probadores de la época. BMW sigue a Renault en 2009 al instalar el sistema en su berlina grande, el serie 7. Y poco a poco se han ido incorporando otras marcas y otros modelos. Os traigo un listado que no pretende ser exhaustivo, sino para daros una idea de cómo se está imponiendo la dirección total. Estos son algunos de los modelos actuales con este sistema -Audi A6 (2018) -Audi A8 (2019) -Audi Q7 (2020) -BMW Serie 5 (2018) -BMW Serie 7 (2019) -Ferrari GTC4 Lusso (2019) -Lamborghini Aventador (2020) -Lamborghini Urus (2018) -Porsche 911 (2018) -Porsche Cayenne (2019) -Renault Megane RS (2021) -Renault Talisman (2021) -Renault Espace (2021) -Volkswagen Touareg (2020) Coche del día No voy a elegir el Prelude… porque ya lo escogí en el vídeo de “Coches interesante por 9.000 € o menos”. Voy a elegir un Nissan Skyline R33 de 1989, el brutal Godzila, un coche que me enamoró y que probé con el motor de 2.6 litros, 280 CV y sistema denominado súper HICAS controlado electrónicamente.

¡Que daño están haciendo los SUV! Por ejemplo, los coupés asequibles, desaparecen. Te propongo una cosa: Haz una búsqueda en Google del tipo “que coupé compro por 20.000 euros”. No te aparecerá ninguno. Luego haz lo mismo con 30.000 euros… y no te aparecerá ninguno. Y si subes a 40.000 euros… aparecen sólo 5. Si te quieres comprar un coupé tienes dos opciones: Preparar alrededor de 50.000 € o comprarte un Youngtimer o un clásico. ¿Por qué? Porque los coupés asequibles son una especie en vías de extinción. Quizás su lugar como coche de ocio o con un atractivo especial lo han ocupado los SUV más dinámicos o con tintes deportivos… los mal llamados SUV-Coupé. Os doy unos datos: En 2007 se vendieron en España casi 10.000 coches de carrocería coupé. En 2019, cinco veces menos, 2.000 unidades. ¿Por qué? Hay quien dice que las marcas no los fabrican por que los compradores no los quieren. O a lo mejor es que los compradores no encuentran coupés accesibles y por eso no los compran. ¿Dónde están coches como los Alfa Romeo GTV, Fiat Coupé, Ford Puma, Opel tigra, Ford Probe, Honda Prelude, Hyundai Coupé, Mazda MX3, Opel Calibra, Peugeot 406 Coupé, Toyota Celica, ¿Rover 200 Coupé? Coches con carrocería Coupé y comportamiento deportivo, pero a precio asequible. Ahora, en 2021 y 2022 los alternativas coupés comienzan con el Audi A5 Coupé, el BMW serie 2 Coupé, el BMW Serie 4 Coupé y el Mercedes Clase C Coupé, todos con precios alrededor de los 45.000 euros. Pero antes de seguir, ¿Qué es un coupé? Según Wikipedia “un tipo de carrocería de un automóvil de dos o tres volúmenes y dos puertas laterales”. Esto define lo que es la carrocería. Un coche coupé es evidentemente un coche con carrocería coupé pero que, además, ofrece unas ciertas dotes deportivas por encima de la media de otros coches equivalentes. Y eso incluye un tamaño y peso contenido, porque los auténticos coupés son coches manejables. Porque, en este vídeo de reflexiones, vamos a reflexionar un poco: ¿Cuál es el tipo de coche más práctico y eficiente? Sabéis, los que me conocéis, que siempre revindico que los coches más sensatos y prácticos son los Familiares o Break. Si comparamos un SUV con un familiar equivalente vemos que el SUV ofrece básicamente tres ventajas: Una estética que gusta más a los consumidores; una mayor altura al suelo, aunque no siempre; y una facilidad de acceso que cierto tipo de usuarios agradecen mucho. ¿Y que inconvenientes tienen? Mayor altura y peso, por lo tanto peor comportamiento rutero y mayor consumo. Sí, mucho diréis que los SUV actuales tienen muy buena estabilidad… ¡hasta Porsche ha hecho un SUV para tandas en circuito! Os lo contamos todo sobre este coche en nuestra Web: https://www.garajehermetico.com/novedades/un-porsche-cayenne-para-circuito/ Pero volvamos a los coupés. Si buscas una lista de los 10, 20 ó 30 coches más bonitos de la historia, ¿Qué te vas a encontrar? Pues que la inmensa mayoría son Coupés, seguidos de descapotables… os diría que, salvo excepciones como el Citroën DS, todos los coches de esas listas son coupés o descapotables y, desde luego, todos de dos puertas. Algo tendrá el agua cuando la bendicen. Los coupés siempre han sido coches de ocio, coches algo más caros que las berlinas equivalentes, pero con tres cualidades: Un atractivo especial, mayores prestaciones y un plus de agrado de conducción. Analicemos estas cualidades: Hoy día, entre la persecución a la velocidad, el precio de la gasolina, la densidad de trafico y la educación de las nuevas generaciones, dos de las ventajas de los coupés como son su mayor agrado de conducción y su mayor deportividad, ya no se cotizan. ¿Qué queda? Un atractivo extra pero, eso sí, con un alto precio a pagar en utilidad. Porque, seamos sinceros, un coupé, como un Roadster o Spyder no sirven de mucho, son biplaza o con malas plazas traseras, con escaso maletero y son coches en los que poner una baca de techo o un remolque … pues, que queréis que os diga, parece un pecado mortal. Así que, como en los monólogos, acabamos por donde empezamos. ¿Quieres un coupé a estrenar? Pues prepara como mínimo unos 45.000 €. Y si no llegas a ese precio, piensa en uno de segunda mano, en un youngtimer o directamente en un clásico. Coche del día Y hablando de “coches de verdad” he elegido como coche del día a un BMW que he tenido la posibilidad de probar ampliamente y hacerme con él más de 2.000 km. Os hablo del BMW 420i, un verdadero BMW. Bueno, es cierto que con 184 CV para 1.600 kg de peso, es dinámico e incluso deportivo, pero no es un tiro. Pero además de que tiene unas prestaciones más que razonables, hay otras cosas que valoro mucho, como la calidad percibida y real, el comportamiento o el placer de conducción.

¿Tienes 5.000 euros? Pues… ¡date un capricho! Por ese dinero puedes acceder a coches descapotables, sofisticados coupés, modelos diseñados por grandes carroceros, deportivos de marcas Premium y a todo terreno. Hay mucho y bueno donde elegir… si sabes buscar. Te vamos a ayudar. Pero 5.000 euros es un precio razonable para un coche de capricho. Siempre digo que al comprar un coche usado tengamos un porcentaje de entre el 10 y el 20 por ciento para hacer un repaso. Esa es la parte mala. La buena es que a este tipo de coches no se les suele hacer muchos kilómetros y si se hace una buena compra, el mantenimiento no es caro. Además, parte lo podemos hacer nosotros, con lo cual compramos un coche de capricho para conducir y al mismo tiempo clases prácticas de mecánica. En esta selección os voy a recomendar 10 modelos, os pondré el año de comienzo de su fabricación y, como referencia, el precio mínimo de compra, de una unidad decente, en España. Aunque ya sabéis que el tema del precio depende mucho no solo del modelo, sino del estado de cada unidad. Vamos allá: 1. BMW Z3 (1996). Desde 4.000 € En un video sobre descapotables asequibles me olvide de este coche… olvido imperdonable, que corrijo hoy. De este modelo hay muchas versiones, incluso una M que no la vais a encontrar por este precio, ya os lo adelanto. Pero sí la de motor 1.9i de 118 CV, para mi la más equilibrada. Es un motor de 4 cilindros de bloque de hierro que es una verdadera piedra. 2. Chrysler Sebring (2001). Desde 3.000 € En España una rareza, pero en otros países un coche más conocido y todo un descapotable de cinco plazas, lo que no es corriente. La versión de cuatro cilindros, 2,5 litros y 141 CV suficiente para pasear con este coche de tonelada y media y apariencia muy USA… en eso, quizás radica su encanto. 3. Ford StreetKa (2004). Desde 3.500 € Este coche es más que un capricho: Es un capricho razonable. Es de los más moderno, muy fiable, económico de comprar, de mantener y de consumo y para mi… os diría que es bonito. El Ford KA normal no me parece un coche bonito, pero creo que en este coche la parte delantera uy trasera entonan y es estéticamente mucho más equilibrado que el normal. 4. Honda Prelude (1997). Desde 4.000 € Otro coche muy interesante y, para mi gusto muy bonito y exclusivo, al menos en España. El precio de estos coches es muy variable, pues hay pocas unidades y el estado y el conocimiento del mercado de sus dueños es muy diferente. He visto unidades con el motor 2.0 de 133 desde 3.000 €. 5. Land Rover Discovery Serie I (1989). Desde 2.500 € Hablamos del primer Discovery que en su momento era un coche muy refinado y que era y es un muy buen todo terreno. Lo conté en un vídeo de TT baratos, la segunda generación era más o menos igual, pero con más electrónica y mi consejo es que huyas de ella, porque son coches con años y muchos de ellos que no han tenido una vida fácil. 6. Mercedes SLK. (1997). Desde 4.500 € Hay quienes dicen que en lo que respecta a la fiabilidad y la dureza, los Mercedes ya no son lo que eran. Puede ser, pero los SLK, como se decía antes, “han salido muy buenos”. Son coches que llevan muy bien el paso del tiempo, por su fiabilidad e incluso, por su estética muy atemporal. 7. Opel Calibra (1989). Desde 2.000 € El Calibra es un coupé muy bonito, es uno de los tracción delantera de Opel con mejor bastidor y se encuentran muy baratos, sobre todos en versiones básicas. Un 4x4 turbo vale un dinero, los V6 menos, pero es que con un dos litros de 16 v y 150 CV están muy baratos y los de 8v y 115, aún más. 8. Peugeot 406 Coupé (1999). Desde 2.500 € Puede que sea el chollo de esta lista. Hablamos del llamado Fase II, con una carrocería de origen Pininfarina y una gama de motores que incluye desde 1.8 y 2.0 litros de gasolina a motores Diésel y a un V6 de 3 litros y 207 CV que es el que te recomiendo. 9. Saab 9-3 Cabrio (2003). Desde 3.000 € Para mí, uno de los coches más interesantes de esta lista. Es un coche bonito, fiable, práctico, se va a revalorizar y te permite circular a cielo abierto con tres acompañantes. Entonces, ¿por qué es tan barato? Porque a la gente le da miedo comprar un coche de una marca que no existe… aunque el suministro de repuestos está asegurado y es un coche sin puntos débiles remarcables. 10. Suzuki Jimny (1995). Desde 4.500 € Tuve uno muchos años y es uno de los caprichos más razonables que puedes tener: Es un coche agradable, bien hecho, que va bien en ciudad, no va mal en en carreteras y genial en campo, donde su tamaño y peso le dan una gran ventaja. Lo hay con motor de gasolina y turbodiésel pero en mi opinión el más recomendable en 1.5 DDiS con motor Renault de 86 CV… suficientes incluso para viajar. Es un coche muy bien hecho y muy robusto, sin puntos flacos. SI quieres un TT de verdad, es una muy bueno opción. Coche del día: Hoy hemos seleccionado al SAAB 9-3.

Welcome to the Biz Sherpa podcast, with your host Craig Willett, founder of several multimillion dollar businesses and trusted advisor to other business owners. He’s giving back to help. Speaker 1: Business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs achieve fulfillment, enhance their lives and create enduring wealth. The Biz Sherpa. Craig Willett: This is Craig Willett, the Biz Sherpa. Thanks for joining me today. On today’s episode, I’m going to share with you the Biz Sherpa’s tips on selling. Often we think selling means putting pressure on someone to make a decision and I think that that’s the wrong impression. How many times have you been, and I remember my first trip to the car dealer and I don’t mean to trash car dealers. I have some friends as you know, Warren LeSueur and his family. They don’t put pressure on people, but my first trip to a car dealer was when we had our first child and I knew our little Honda Prelude and my little Dodge Daytona wouldn’t be sufficient to be able to put a car seat in the back or be safe for our child so we went to a car dealership to buy a Chevy Tahoe, well, what’s the equivalent of a Tahoe today? Craig Willett: But anyway, this is a long time ago. I remember going in to the dealer and sitting down with my wife and not only were they going to give us some big, huge tiger stuffed animal if we bought a car that day, but more importantly, they sat down and went over a matrix of what the car would do for us, how much they could finance it for and what the price would be if we paid cash and then they kept putting pressure on us. What can we do for you to make you buy the car today? And that’s what I didn’t like. I wanted to buy a car. I didn’t have to have it that day. It was a little early for me to be buying one but if we found the right car, then we would buy it. But I don’t like the pressure and I don’t think any of us like that pressure. Craig Willett: One of the things that I say always about business when it comes to having any kind of product or service is, have a product or service that solves a problem and then you need to learn to listen. You need to learn to listen when people show up or call or inquire about your product or service and train your staff to learn to listen. They will tell you what their problem is and why they need your product, I promise you. Spend some time. If you have a sales staff that sells by phone, record their calls and then listen with them. Listen to what people say. They tell you. They tell you right off. Craig Willett: I remember James Stevenson on our podcast, where he shared with us that he went through all these benefits that his property management company could do when at the end of the day, all the customer wanted to know is if somebody from his staff could be at the house next Tuesday to let the furniture movers in. That would have sealed the deal, not what happens if there’s a leak on the second story of the house and what kind of problem that would do and how they could solve that for them. Craig Willett: I think it’s that simple, listen. The other thing that I think is important and it causes us not to listen, but I think it’s really important is to know our product. Know its features, know how it distinguishes you from your competitors. Now, often I find that it’s really easy to say what the competitors don’t do that yours does. I don’t like that. Someone told me early on, “If you’re going to be the best at what you do or you’re going to have the best product, then your features should stand on their own.” When I developed office buildings, we said what our product had and all of its features and we listed them out. As people shopped our product, we were more expensive, but they started to learn why some of our features were important and then when they would ask our competitors if they had those features, they couldn’t say they did. Let them lose the deal. You gain the deal by saying what you do and then stand behind it. Craig Willett: The third area I just sort of mentioned and that is, don’t lead with price, focus on the features that solve the problems, not the price. The price will take care of itself if they understand how and why your product or service solves their problem. And once they understand that, a lot of people are relieved and you’d be surprised how much people are willing to pay just to have a problem solved. It gets it off their problem list and it allows them time think about managing their time and their business. It all of a sudden solves a big issue for them. Craig Willett: The other thing that I would say you need to do, the fourth tip to selling is, measure demand. Now you might say, “Well, how do I do that?” Well, it’s based on the number of calls you get, based on the number of inquiries you have. It kind of tells you how interested the market is in your product or service. When you see that go up, you need to step back and ask yourself, “Do you have the ability to ration this product or service?” And if you do, you may want to consider raising your price. If the demand for your product is continuing to go up, it’s time to raise the price. Craig Willett: Let me tell you a story. I went to Europe, I told you that one of the things I did to help decompress and spend time was I’d schedule away three to four weeks in the summertime to go with my family to Europe. Why? It was eight hours time zone or nine hours time zone difference from here and I could then spend time with my family during the day while the people working in my business and my customers were sleeping. And then I was sleeping while they were up working and it gave me time to decompress. Craig Willett: But anyway, back to my point, while I was gone on one of these trips, my key employees were just taking orders like crazy on one of our projects. When I came back, they said, “Craig, we sold out.” And I thought to myself, well gee, that’s great but how did you sell out so quickly? Well, the week after you left, they announced a hospital a mile away from that project and we just got calls from all kinds of doctors. And I thought to myself, boy, if we had only been able to take a pause or you had called me, I would have told you to raise the price. This is the only opportunity we have to be within a mile and to be having buildings ready before the hospital opens so that those doctors that want to locate near that hospital can buy from us. It’s supply and demand and so you need to measure that demand accordingly. Craig Willett: The other thing that I think is really important is to answer phone calls. If you’ve ever sold for me, you’d understand what I demand of my sales staff and that is answer your phone. I wanted to make sure that when people call on our buildings, that they got a live human. There’s nothing like leaving a message and wondering when you’re ever going to hear back. The person calling you is busy. They have things to do too. They’ve set aside some time to call and to learn about your product or service. If you can’t answer their call, you’re not treating them with the respect they deserve to be interested in your product. Craig Willett: One of our guests on this show is Jim Stachowski, and you’ll find that Jim Stachowski always has a phone ear piece in and will answer his phone at any time. I’ve called him at 10:00 o’clock at night, he’s answered his phone. I’ve called him at 2:00 in the afternoon and he’s been on the back of a horse and he answers my call. Why? He’s one of the best horse trainers in the world bar none and he probably does the most deals in buying and selling horses in the country. He answers the call. You never know who it’s going to be and you never know how important the request is going to be, so answer the call, make yourself available to your clients. Craig Willett: Now, the other thing that I think is really important in the sales process is not to set artificial deadlines. People sense that. We all like to get and meet a quota during a month and sometimes you hear people putting these deadlines. If I sell a few more, I get a trip or I get a prize. If you buy this today, you’ll help me win that prize or you’ll help me be the top salesperson this month. You know what? That may work for some things but I think it’s a low blow to the customer when you do that. Why do I say that? Because I think the customer, you have to show them integrity. You have to show them respect for their time. If it’s a big decision that they’re trying to make, respect their timeframes. They’ll make it in due time. They’ll have their own deadline. Craig Willett: In the office building market, they had a lease that was going to expire and once you knew when that was, they had their own self imposed deadline. You could help work it backwards so you could say, “Look, I know you have a lot to think about, but to make the decision and to give yourself enough time so that your building is ready when your lease expires, you need to make a decision by this date.” But you’re only helping them schedule their lives so that they can make a good decision and not rule yours out because of lack of time. But when you give the artificial times, like somebody else is going to put an offer on this tomorrow and they may or they may not, you can tell them other people are interested, but what’s important is to be open and to be honest with them. You never know what people are going to do. Craig Willett: I remember one time needing to meet payroll and you’ve probably heard this story from me before. Somebody flew in, was interested. We announced a new project and once we got the information out, a chiropractor called, who owned a number of chiropractic offices in the Valley and he called and he said, “I really want one of those buildings there. How can I meet you today?” He flew in on the site and met our salesperson on site, left him with a check for the deposit on that building for 10% because he wanted the one on the street right there on the corner so he could have his name on it and get all the advertising he’s used to getting for being a prominent chiropractic firm in the area. Be careful about deadlines, you never know. They’re going to have theirs, they’re going to have them for different reasons, but you want to understand what your customer really needs first. Craig Willett: The other thing that I think is important to be able to do all that I’ve talked about is to ask questions. Learn to ask questions. Once you understand who your customer is, what their needs are, then you can address those. And that relates back to my first tip and that is, learn to listen. When you ask the question, then learn to listen. I had a friend, he was really good. He leased retail space and one of the tricks he taught me early on in my career, is he said, “Craig, when you ask the question, sit back and put a mint in your mouth. It’s time for you to be quiet.” You’ll be amazed at what they’ll tell you if you’re asking the right questions. Craig Willett: And then of course you can’t forget to ask for the deal. I think it’s an extremely important thing. How many times have you been ready to buy something, but they fed you with so much information that you got confused and you went away wondering whether it was for you. If you’ve worked the process correctly and educated your potential customer on your product, on your service and it’s a match, there is nothing wrong with asking for the deal and say to them, “Since this seems to meet your needs or at least it’s my perception that it does, how about we do the paperwork that’s necessary to reserve this for you?” Now that’s not putting pressure, that’s trying to help them out before somebody else does and they lose on the opportunity or time slips away and they get busy doing other things. That’s another way to say it. “Hey, I understand you’re busy and I know it might be hard to get together again for another week or two. How about we put together the necessary paperwork to reserve this for you?” Craig Willett: These are very easy things to say and if they’re said right, you’re asking for the deal and you’re asking for a commitment. When you ask for that commitment, you’re trying to see if you’ve met all of their criteria and answered all their problems. Now that’s another time to listen. When you ask and they hesitate, you could ask them, “What’s your concerns?” And then listen and take note and then say you’ll look into it and see how you can resolve those concerns for them. Craig Willett: Biz Sherpa’s tips for selling are learn to listen. Understand the problem that they have so that you know how to solve that problem for them. Know your product but the problem with knowing your product is you could start to list a whole bunch of features like James Stevenson said, “I can solve your problem if you have a leak on the second floor,” when really all they want to do is be able to move their furniture in next Tuesday and make sure you have a staff person there or a property manager there to greet the furniture movers and let them in. It’s important to know your product and know how it meets their needs. Craig Willett: Make sure you distinguish yourself from the competition by saying what you do and what your product or service does. They’ll figure out for themselves what the others don’t do. They may ask you a question to compare. Never trash another competitor’s product that could come back to haunt you. Focus on features, look at what yours does well that solve the problems. Don’t focus again on other things. It’s easy to become distracted. Measure demand, make sure that you’re pricing your product or your service to meet the demand that’s there. I talked about meeting an increasing demand and I shared a story today about that, but you might have decreasing demand and you may offer a special once in a while to measure the demand and get it back up. Where you give a percentage off for a period of time if they buy or commit to a contract with you in a certain period of time. Craig Willett: Most important, answer the phone, answer the calls. If someone’s taking the time to call you, answer it. I know we live in a day where we text each other and I think we do that out of respect so we’re not taking up time. But if someone like my very first customer, when I put up my first sign on my first project called and said, “I’m out looking to renew my lease and I see your sign own for less than rent. I have a lease expiring in about four months. I didn’t know I could own my office building.” You want to be there to get that call. And also keep in mind, they have a limited amount of time and if they leave a message and it takes you a long time to return that call, then it’s going to reflect poorly on you and you may not be able to reach them for a long period of time and may have missed the opportunity. Craig Willett: Don’t put artificial deadlines. Remember no artificial deadlines. Be genuine. Ask questions to qualify. Again, you should listen from the beginning and then ask more questions to be sure you understand. And then don’t forget to ask for the deal. There are ways to ask for the deal that don’t put pressure on the buyer or the customer.

Your only limit is you. How you think is how you act. If you think big and dream big you can accomplish big things. If you think small, well... I did not build a Honda Prelude. A chassis just a canvas, and that's all it is. You've got to think bigger than that! Patience, execution, details, and innovation should be the focal point, not something as peripheral as the chassis or platform that was used to create the vision and the art. Expand your mind, educate yourself, and think bigger. Travel... travel visually, travel geographically, travel culturally. Educate yourself, and grow as a person. This is going to trigger some people, but it isn't personal - it's principle. Pick something or someone else and replace it in this conversation and it applies the same. To all of my big thinkers and dreamers, apply it to yourself! Your only limit is you - how you think. The time has come to think bigger.

She was tall, white and hip Her name was Ms. Swanson and she would arrive to my house on a weekly basis to teach me the Bible She had me memorize all the names from Genesis to Malachi to Matthew to Revelations She taught me how to pronounce my words correctly in English She introduced me to pumpkin pie I was seven years old. She would drive stick in her Honda Prelude and whisk me away to the local park She would feed me alfalfa sprout sandwiches and homemade iced tea She introduced me to Orson Welles and The Beatles She once took me to Bullocks and bought me a clean linen shirt, a neck tie, a pair of pants and a set of penny loafers I was suited up and ready to preach On weekend mornings, I would walk ahead of her and knock on stranger’s doors and recite scripture She instructed me on how to stand while speaking, chin up, chest forward. This was my childhood, preacher boy in training. And my teacher Ms. Swanson: tall, white and hip; did her part and taught me well.

Southern California is the home of the Import Tuner Scene; yet another reason the region is the car capital of the world! Sorry Detroit, Southern California is the automotive capital of the world for many reasons - and here's another one, SoCal is the home of the Import Tuner Scene. Personally, I didn't grow up in it.  But iDriveSoCal's Professor, Clinton Quan, experienced all of it. From the first tuned Japanese imports to the seemingly neverending blockbuster movie franchise - The Fast and the Furious. Click play below to hear how the Import Tuner Scene developed and evolved here in Southern California and then took on the world. ***Transcription*** Recorded in Los Angeles, CA Home of the Import Tuner Scene Clinton Quan: You're talking about the Japanese cars, which really made the import tuning scene. The Toyota Celica, the Toyota MR2, the Honda Prelude, even the Honda Accord Coupe, the Nissan 240SX, the Mitsubishi Eclipse, the Mazda MX6.  I mean honestly, who would ever thought that there'd be seven Fast and the Furious movies? Tom Smith: Welcome to iDriveSoCal the podcast. All about mobility from the automotive capital of the United States, Southern California. Tom Smith here with our pal, the Professor, Mr. Clinton Quan. Say hello, Clinton. Clinton Quan: Hi, Tom. Why SoCal is the World's Car Capital - Home of the Import Tuner Scene Tom Smith: Hey! Today's podcast is a continuation of our justification of that little saying that I throw out there at the beginning of every podcast, what makes Southern California the automotive capital of not only the United States but also the world. Today's podcast is another justification for that. The Professor was pointing out to me something that makes a lot of sense. It predates my living here in Southern California, but he experienced it, he lived it and that is the import tuning scene, right? Professor, why don't you kind of take it away because I have a bunch of kind of yes and to add, but as I mentioned, I wasn't here for it so I don't have that firsthand experience that you do. "I mean honestly, who would ever thought that there'd be seven Fast and the Furious movies?" Clinton Quan: Yeah. It really started in the early to mid-90s and I remember growing up in... when I went to junior high and high school, if you look back, these were some of the most popular cars back then. The Fast and the Furious - Import Tuners & Drifters You're talking about the Japanese cars, which really made the import tuning scene. Cars such as the Toyota Celica, the Toyota MR2, the Honda Prelude, even the Honda Accord Coupe, the Nissan 240SX and they had both a fastback and a coupe version of that. The Mitsubishi Eclipse, the Mazda MX6. Tom Smith: You're talking early 90s, the beginning. Clinton Quan: We're talking, yes. Tom Smith: Does that include the late 80s? Clinton Quan: Yeah, we could include the late 80s as well. Tom Smith: The cars at that time, the Japanese cars anyway, and I guess the other cars too, they were kind of getting smaller. Clinton Quan: Yes. Tom Smith: In the Midwest, I had a buddy that had had a Toyota MR2 and man was that fun to drive. A little go-cart. What about the... was it the Honda- Clinton Quan: Civic? Tom Smith: Yeah. The first Civic that... the first, the two-door Civics, remember they had the kind of bubbly blacktops or bubbly- Clinton Quan: Oh, you're talking about Civic hatchback because- Tom Smith: Yeah, yeah, yeah. "Cars such as the Toyota Celica, the Toyota MR2, the Honda Prelude, even the Honda Accord Coupe, the Nissan 240SX and... The Mitsubishi Eclipse, the Mazda MX6." Clinton Quan: Well, speaking of that, I remember one of my classmates in high school, he had one of those... the Civic hatchbacks. Tom Smith: One of those Civics. Yeah. With that whole genre, right? The late 80s, early 90s, that kind of started the tuning scene here in Southern California and the tuning scene...
