  so the challenge winner from last year, our beloved little CRX "Gutty", got picked up for another feature (GRM did one when it was chalkboard years ago after its first challenge)

  Honda Tuning Magazine saw it on honda-tech and i got a ton of text messages today that the issue is now out to subscribers. not sure how it looks, but the photographer said it was his favorite shoot ever (shot it in december in a factory).
  

  best part? all the GRM stickers are supposedly still on the car!! MINT MINT MINT . my copy hasnt came yet, maybe somebody here has one?

  Seeing our stickers in other magazines makes me giggle.

  In reply to redzcstandardhatch:

  Great article and exposure for GRM.

  Honda Tuning is pretty good as far a mags go. There does seem to be prejudice against anything that isn't JDM or JDM influenced.

  The article on Gutty is unique. They wrote that the build could be "Ghetto" due to its budget. How is it "Ghetto"? For something to be "Ghetto" implies some underhanded dealings - am I wrong?

  Ghetto Rigged? Dunno, I've seen some rigged things at the challenge..Cough (hong) cough (nitrous) cough, sorry something got stuck to my fingers cough... anyway. Dunno my .02

  But usually those who say things like that, have not been to the challenge, and have not seriously competed. What most of these cars lack in funds, are made up by cubic amounts of time the builders have put into them.

  I concur.

  "Ghetto" may speak to something done cheaply without knowledge or forethought. Whereas the GRM method is to do the same job, for little or less money, but only after reseach and thought.

  Big difference..

  Man, the planning for one of these!...A guy can't throw cubic dollars at it, so he has to try cubic time and lots of scrounging. "Ghetto" implies 'finding' something on the 'side of the road' where 'it just fell off the truck'. Most of our 'finding' things is trading with buds for something they have but we need. And then we should give it a 'fair market value' anyway. 'Ghetto' indeed...
