I’m back, Fiends! After getting all matrimonied up and taking some much needed R&R, I’m back around to show you what’s what in the automotive world. What better for a return post than a little taste of Honda can’t-have. What you see above is Mugen’s latest interpretation of an aero kit for the Type R. [...]

Honda may have developed a habit of scrapping anything with even a hint of testosterone, but there is a silver lining in the storm. The company just cranked out its 300,000th hybrid since it started producing the battery rides since 1999. Usually, hybrids are about as fiendish as a dirty sock, but this is where [...]

Remember this car. I’m not saying it’s the first time someone has given a car a graffiti-style rattle-can paint job, but I do think that this could mark the beginning of a new trend in car customization. Remember how flat black paint jobs caught on (again) a few years ago? One of the reasons they [...]

The holy grail among tuners: Japanese Domestic Market (or JDM) cars. That’s part of the reason the R32, R33, and R34 Skylines were so mythical. Today on eBayMotors, I spotted a JDM Civic Type-R from 2003, which is the hatchback generation. As the seller notes, the JDM car beat the living daylights out of the [...]

If you’re a Honda/Acura fanboy like me, you probably just wet yourself. Thanks to Spoon’s tuning magic, your left-hand drive NSX can be converted into the master of the R empire, the NSX Type R. The trimmings include a reworked suspension, slotted brake rotors, a remapped ECU and best of all, a serious diet. Spoon [...]

Or at least that’s the idea. Thanks to the success of the fun-for-all-ages Fit, Honda is considering shipping a number of previously Japan-only ride to the states for retail. While we lucked out with the Si in 2007, the States had been previously denied such goodness as the Integra Type R, the Civic Type R [...]
