They were way ahead of their time, being the predecessors of the turbo FWD imports of today.
Yeah, I have a soft spot for the GLH’s. The one my uncle had was really nice. He spent many a night porting, polishing, swapping wheels and housings on the T3, talking to people about how to make it better and all that good stuff. Took me for rides in it sometimes. No traction off the line, but I swear the boost coming on from 15 mph and out was nuts. These good memories are one of the reasons I decided to boost a civic…an attempt to try and recapture one of the few good things I remember from my youth, I guess.
