HONDA POWER!
You are a 16 year old boy/girl (insert legal driving age in your local state/country) who just got their drivers license. Eager to hit the roads in style you purchase a new-to-you 1992 Honda Civic DX hatchback. Equip with a fun loving SOHC D13B2 non v-tech engine and a 5 speed standard transmission.
The car is reasonably low kilometers, or so the salesman insisted, sitting at 270,000 km. The suspension is a little squishy with wear and tear and the interior has seen better days (chain smoking and the more then occasional mid night romp has taken place here, nobody is brave enough to sit in the back passenger seat due to some ‘human slime’ residing in the fabric.
You drive the car to your high school the first day you have it insured and registered only to be laughed out of the school parking lot, nobody told you '92 civics weren’t cool? The cool kids in the yard drive ‘dads money’ type cars such as Audi’s and Chrysler 300’s and they run laps around a nearby abandoned airfield. Being the clever kid you are (straight A’s in shop class and math) you decide that if you can whip your trusty honda into shape and could lay a smackdown on the cool kids, YOU COULD BE COOL. To be cool is the highest accolade a 16 year old you can imagine and theres no way you could put up with 3 more years of teasing and bullying.
You snuck into the airfield and clocked the lap times of ‘cool kids’ to your suprise one kid was able to manage a 1:35:00 on the course with their Audi S4 (impressive). You know the kids won’t give you a fair chance at this and will likely start the timer earlier to give you a disadvantage. You must manage a lap time of 1:30:00 or better to truly prove your mettle! The car as it is now runs 1:48:00.
Being 16 and without any serious funds this may be a challenge:
