How to Import a JDM Honda - Across The Sea

Once or twice a month, usually on the freeway on the way to work in the morning, we'll catch a glimpse of a right-hand-drive Nis more

1989 and 1990 Honda CRX - Different But The Same

One of the most encouraging things about being a sport compact enthusiast in the 21st century is that it is exceedingly easy to commune with others who have the same automotive vision. We brought up the phenomenon in last October's Detonation, particularly as more

Spoon Honda Civic Type R Sedan - Extreme Makeover: Type R Edition

In the land where the model was born, something is deeply wrong with the latest Civic lineup. more

1997 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Can't Stay Away

In spite of the myriad of tunable sport compacts available to consumers these days, it's interesting that in the minds of many the paragon platform of our sub-culture is and has always been the Civic. Over the model's decades of existence, OE's have released c more

2000 Honda Civic DX Hatchback - Changing Stations

Sometimes in life it's not where you start, but where you end up. In the world of tuned street cars, few rise higher with the kind of frequency that DX-model Civics do, the lowliest low of a line-up cast from a cut-rate commuter mold. Other cars make big trans more

Here is the official Honda Tuning calendar for 2007 more

1990 Honda Civic Rally Car - Rally 'Round the Civic

There are things in life that aren't supposed to mix. Oil and water comes to mind. Inexpensive and Ferraris. How about Hondas and rallying? A Civic? No frickin' way, man. They're more suited to your typical street, drag, or road racing venues. Which is why Steve Perret's old-school, low-budget Civic more

Cloud 9000 - Honda S2000 Turbo

Imagine this once prevalent nightmare. It's the new millennium. You're a major Honda-head and you need a new fix. The Civic and Integra/RSX have decided to give up their wishbone suspensions and familiar engines, the NSX is out of your reach and you can't find a rear-drive sports car with the big "H more

1993 Honda Civic Cx - Civic Duty

These days, modified Honda Civics are like mothers. Everybody has one. As people continue to build them, it becomes harder and harder to stand out from the crowd, which prompts many to bolt on rear wings the size of shower doors and exhaust systems that peg the decibel meter. These misguided efforts more

Honda Fit by Spoon - Physical Fit-Ness

Honda corporate suits won't confirm it, but we still think it's likely that the U.S. will get a version of the Honda Fit (aka "Jazz" outside of Japan) for 2006. Honda execs in Japan have acknowledged concern about Korean automakers making inroads into the compact econobox segment, especially in Amer more

2003 Honda Civic Si Turbo - Noble Cause

There are a handful of products on the market that can boost the Civic Si's mediocre K20A3 output (dyno'd anywhere from 130-150 whp, depending on who you talk to), namely forced induction kits from GReddy and Jackson Racing. We figured it wouldn't take long for Rev Hard to throw in its chips as well more

Honda Civic Landspeed Record Car - The Deuce Double-O challenge

HT did a couple of tech pieces recently on AEM's Landspeed Civic, only the second Civic we know of to challenge for a title at the Bonneville Salt Flats (the other belongs to the Progress Group). To most Honda guys, Bonneville seems about as interesting as the Isuzu Stylus. Everybody likes to know w more

1992 Acura Integra LS - Like New

The impulse to baby a new purchase is wired into every automotive enthusiast. Whether that acquisition is parts, tools or an entire new vehicle makes little difference; in the hands of a car guy who's just spent his hard-earned dough, it'll probably get copious amounts of TLC. It only makes sense. W more

New Honda Civic Si review (FG) - Fashion Forward

The consensus that has emerged about the latest Civic Si is that it is an apparent return to form for the sport compact that arguably helped ignite the tuner movement. Touched by Honda engineers in all the right places, you could almost hear the collective sigh of relief that came from hardcore fans more

SKunk2 Racing's Honda Fit - Fit For TV

This past summer, the staff of Honda Tuning magazine was asked to serve on the judging panel for the television series "Street Tuner Challenge," a program on our favorite network, the Speed Channel. The show documents the construction of three "tuner" vehicles by three different builders, and then p more

1997 Acura NSX Turbo - Like No Other

Since its introduction in 1990, the Acura NSX continues to be the only true supercar to hail from Japan. But despite its meticulously engineered quality and sterling reliability, automotive critics have questioned whether the supercar title is deserving, citin more

Age Inappropriate - 1987 Honda Civic SI

Whenever Mark Jackson talks Hondas, there is one particular story he likes to recall about an encounter he had many years ago in one of his first Civics with a Corvette. It was 1984, and Jackson was tailing one of the famed American muscle cars in a '79 two-do more

Aftermarket Car Modifications - June 2006 Adult Toys

Lighting Audio's strike component speakers offer a blend of looks, performance, and power at a price that won't have you out looking for a loan just to pick them up. The 5.25" are rated at 50 watts RMS and 100 watts max to the 6.5"s 75 watts RMS and 150 watts max. The Strike components also include more

Good Things Come in STOCK Packages

There isn't a set formula on how to build a car worthy of a feature in a magazine. Execution usually reigns supreme over trends and subjective style choices. That being said, it still isn't very often that a car with no exterior modifications whatsoever fills more

M3 Killer Weekend Thriller - 2000 Honda Civic Hatchback

When your daily ride is an E46 M3 dumped on BBS LM's, it takes a bit more for a Civic Hatchback to catch your eye. Brandon Mallough of Santa Ana, Calif., set out to build a Honda weekend track toy that was more exciting to drive than his lackluster Bavarian co more

Power To Bling - 2006 Honda Civic EX by Polk

Let us ask the question so you don't have to: why are you reading about an uber A/V install that probably weighs almost half the weight of the Civic it's installed into, thus pegging the Hot Import Nights bling meter in the red, in Honda Tuning, a magazine tha more

Quality>Quantity - 2000 Honda S2000

Many times, feeding the need for speed becomes a slow, deliberate struggle against catastrophic setbacks, missed deadlines and a deluge of minor annoyances. Geoff Pascual of West Covina, California, can relate as he fought past epic challenges to bring his dre more

Sporting Revision - 2006 Honda Hasport Civic Si
