I love the color effects, even if they’re a little psychedelic at times. See more at HONDASSIR’s ride page!

Today just felt like a two-CRX kind of day, and this pic from a night photo shoot of Jay’s buddy’s stunning first-gen was too good to pass up. See more at Jay’s ride page.

The way out of the Sears lot did not disappoint, either. Pictures don’t do justice to this unmolested CRX HF. When’s the last time you saw a clean, stock CRX?

I wonder who convinced these people that this would actually work? I want to know who came up with the idea to use multiple ATV ramps to get this Civic into the U-Haul? Perhaps a better question would be why one would even want to put the car in a U-Haul? Enjoy this moment of stupidity! NSFW yelling.

This is another one of those cars that’s been popping up all over the place lately. Who would have thought Honda’s awkwardly shaped wagon from the 1980′s could look so tough? This car was actually spotted at the USDM Jam event in Japan.

The Real JDM

I wanted to discuss an often overlooked topic about 3pc wheels. Wheel companies have interesting ways to increase the diameter of rims without increasing the actual centers of the wheels. This NSX is a perfect example because it runs staggered rim sizes of 19″ up front and 20″ on the rear. If you notice the lips, the rears have an extra inch of height built into the lips to accept smaller centers. As a result a larger wheel can be used without engineering a larger center. From a distance the visual downside is that it does not look any bigger because the size perception of wheels often rests with the spoke length. However on a car like the NSX rarely do 20″ wheels look appropriate, this is a great way to pull off 20″s while still making the car look sporty and not ridiculous.

The Real JDM

As we are starting to get inquires over here to import CR-Z tuning parts for clients, the excitement over the North American release of the CR-Z is starting to grow. Tuners in Japan have had the car for some time now and the internet has shown us numerous examples of tuned CR-Zs. However, this is the first example I can think of using forced induction.

HKS Japan has been on a heavy promotional push lately for their GT Superchargers. All of the current talk in Japan is showing some momentum for supercharger popularlity to gain marketshare compared to turbo cars. In fact there are even some pretty wild examples of HKS GT supercharged JZA80 Supras in Japan pushing respectable power (500hp range). The idea of a supercharged Supra seems really nuts to me since the car is one of the most famous uses of a turbo charged setup in modern car history. Yet the value of supercharges always creates a good and interesting argument between the merits of going SC or Turbo. While there is no proven correct answer, the line continues to get blurred as a lot of current superchargers start to look even a lot more like turbos.

This is not your average epic video, this is art. It’s rare to see a clip that one could consider a modern masterpiece, but this short film is so epic it’s like it was sent from the JDM gods themselves. Created by Daniel Michaelis, this video captures the true essence of what the Honda NSX stands for; speed, agility, and style! Read more about the epic clip at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.
