Yet another rainy weekend but hey at least we can kick back to some good ol' Hot Version!

EH, not bad!

These pictures are a few years old and the car has since been sold but it was quite a nicely put together EH2 coming from Canada. Luckily in this case nothing much has since been changed and thats always good to hear.

Also, the wheel fitment on this car is simply stunning, it almost seems like its phasing out with all the hella flush fitments...

But hows this for some inspiration?

Motor Power Creator

Toda Racing has been known to produce some of the best naturally aspirated engine components for over 30 years now. Their long successful racing history has allowed them to conduct extensive research and that is the basis to any great tuning company.

Also available at their disposal at the Toda Factory is state of the art design and machining equipment that translates to parts of the utmost quality.

Since Honda makes some of the most reliable high revving naturally aspirated mass produced motors, it is clear why Toda's offerings are so plentiful for the B, K, C, F and J series engines.

Spoon CRZ

Spoon wasted no time and started tuning the CRZ as soon as they were able to get their hands on one. This car is a street tuned version and still has the original hybrid power plant under the hood. Improvements were mainly made through weight reduction, ECU tuning, intake/exhaust and suspension.

The redline has been increased to 8,500rpm from 6,200rpm and now puts down 145hp and 150ft-lbs of torque. Not bad for a hybrid that still gets about 25mpg city/29mpg highway.

Who knew loosing 200lbs could make it look this good!

Gan San reviews the EP3!

Best Motoring always puts Gan San in charge of testing newly released models and its good since he does a great job covering all the aspects that viewers are wondering themselves.

In this video he goes over the improvements and additions that have been made over the previous models. Must watch for all EP3 fans!

There is even a JDM vs imports battle after with a NSX holding its own.

Rainy day = Rainy VTEC battle!

In this video is an analysis of the 2nd Generation S2000 and what has been improved from the original version.

J's Racing S2K, Spoon S2K and C-KEN S2K get together and duke it out at Maze circuit in a heated wet battle with Keiichi Tsuchiya, Manabu Orido and Jyuchi Wakisaka as drivers.

C-KEN S2K looks incredible with that aero kit, I have yet to see any other car with it.

Enjoy!

Route KS

Route KS is a popular tuning company in Japan that specializes in NSXs and let me just say this; it shows!

Just look at how stable this NSX is around corners. The power band is smooth all throughout and matches the car well. The steering corrections are minimal and the exhaust sounds lovely and not too loud. This is what Honda N/A tuning is about, complete harmony of the parts working together to achieve total balance.

Don't forget to check out their blog to get an idea of the size of their daily operations.

No need to front!

While the JDM DC2 Integra front end looks like that of a new car, the USDM front end still manages to capture a look that is just as good. Its all a matter of preference but for me I think its one of those things where its best to stick with what you have.

JDM front ends on JDM Integras and USDM front ends on USDM Integras.

With that said theres always a soft spot for both types.

RevSpeed EK9 vs Spoon DC2

Its sick seeing how the different these two cars are yet their performance level is so close to each other that it is impossible to predict the winner until the last lap.

VTEC CLUB!

In this episode of VTEC Club, the NSX is tested but since that has been posted already, the video starts in the next segment. Ichishima, Hattori and Tsuchiya san discuss engine oiling and review the Fit's potential.

They also drive a 4 door Fit Aria which is essentially a renamed Honda City. Its hard not to laugh!

Followed by an unmodified battle between an EP3, DC5 and a CL7. It also includes a tuned CL7 battle. Gotta love how beast the Phase Accord sounds.

The second part shows how a chassis is reinforced using various methods and even an inside look at the JGTC ARTA NSX, very interesting for sure!

This was a really good watch so if you have the time, sit back and enjoy pure Honda sports!

Hondas everyday and twice on Sundays!

Being the owner of a Granada Black Pearl Civic Si much like the one below makes this Civic catalogue is one of my all time favorites.

This is the 20th anniversary edition model that was sold from 92' to 94' as a limited edition.

Apart from other models, this EG5 came equipped with unique green seats that were shaped differently and even included rear headrests. Keyless entry was standard in this model and it even came with the 1.6L DOHC ZC engine.

Being that it won the Japanese car of the year award definitely says a lot about how good this car was. Keyless entry back in 92'? Now thats OG!

Also, feel free to request any full resolution pictures that have been posted!
