Purbread presents "World's Fastest Turtle"
exclusive interview with Kenneth Lau

Compare to NSX is different… I would say the best RWD Japanese car is the Honda NSX… but Integra… definitely the best front wheel drive I had. The Integra is a really good racing car… race car platform… double wishbone suspension design… and it got so many racing parts development for that car that we can choose. And actually, we use the new style engine… K-series engine put on that car to make it more powerful. Compare to original engine, B-series, maximum we can make is 220 to the wheels. And K-series… right now we can easy to hit 280 to the wheels, and 2.4 liter is still pretty balance on the car.

Excellent story about Turtle. He seems to be a real stand up and talented guy.

Re: Purbread: World's Fastest Turtle - Kenneth Lau

Re: Purbread: World's Fastest Turtle - Kenneth Lau

he told me he sold it to his good friends brother. dunno who exactly though.

his nsx was AHHHMAZZIN. my jaw dropped re how new it looked, its condition, how clean the interior was. but the way the car drove, handled and braking capabilities ... *sigh*!

likely the only nsx in canada with tein scr + the 1 piece brembo brake caliper combo.

Re: Purbread: World's Fastest Turtle - Kenneth Lau

Anybody know what size wheel/tire he is running? The aggressiveness really makes the car look awesome!

Re: Purbread: World's Fastest Turtle - Kenneth Lau

if i recall correctly 235's in the front and either 265/275's in the back

17/18 inch setup and he removed all wheelwells; which fitted his bbk upgrade. i specifically recall how he stated the 18/19 inch setup was terrible re low profile tires and potholes and ride overall was a nightmare.

with this wider setup (235s) i he stated that you cannot do full turns o/w it will rub.

in person the setup and stance looked super aggressive imo. with his tire/suspension setup the ride was imo comfy (comparable to that of an oem sport sedan setup).
