Looks like a Toyota Carina E (or Corona, depends where that picture's from). I want to say it's a BTCC car, but I think they were running Castrol livery back then.

What's the deal with the exposed timing belts?

Style and maybe for the drag cars to adjust cam timing easily, but I'd probably guess that they don't actually mess with that at the track?

edit: Also, that ugly silver Miata was posted because it's rotary swapped and goes with the silver rotary engine bay a few pictures down. Don't know how it got out of order there.

I can't believe that Jon won that brand new Camaro for doing a photoshop. What a great prize.
Only thing that lets it down is the badly wrapped intake.

Also, exposed timing belts look cool as gently caress #YOLO.

I don't know much about Hondas but that's an Exige with a supercharged K series, probably a K20A2.
It's a pretty popular swap - more power / aftermarket, more racey engine stock, and reliability

should have said I didn't realize it was better(?) enough to warrent the swap.

That's an awesome video though, I was worried about the guys on bikes in the beginning, and they passed that pt cruiser like it was standing still

A lot of the Honda K-series swaps are done to S1 Elise/Exiges which came with the old Rover K-series, so definitely an improvement there. I don't know how popular the Honda swap is on the later, 2ZZ-powered cars.

I think the f series Honda engines sound better but I'm probably partial.

For some reason, I totally skipped over that possibility. I don't think I was expecting it to be a monogrammed shirt, but a brand (like Ralph Lauren, or something).

I have no idea, but that picture screams to me: closed course. Not knowing exactly where he is, that could be a reasonable line to take through those corners.

It's Tail of the Dragon in North Carolina and as far as I recall they don't close it off from public traffic but I could be wrong.
