Although it’s been out of production for near on three years, Honda’s legendary NSX still does battle on the circuits of Japans Super GT touring car series. Racing in the GT500 category, the Super GT NSX’s aren’t exactly what you’d call factory-issue. Nearly everything is changed. The V6 engine sits longitudinally rather [...]
Yep, you heard me. I used "Civic Hybrid" and "Race Car" in the same sentence.

US-based Honda fanboys take note: the US arm of Honda specialists Spoon Sports has confirmed that they will be converting left-hand-drive US-spec NSXs into full NSX-R trim in the very near future.
So, while the only Type R the US market ever (officially) enjoyed was the ol’ DC2 Integra, American enthusiasts should be able to get [...]
Thrashed the pants off your old whip and need something newer to cart your JDM-loving ass around in? You might want to give US parts manufacturer Skunk2 a call, as they’ve just recently put their 190fwkW EP3-based "Civic RR" onto the used car market. The price? A mere 17 Gorillas. [...]
