This next car comes as a tip from Art who recently purchased his own version of the 7th generation Honda Civic hatchback, which hopefully isn’t as sunburnt as this one. These cars live in the shadow realm between modern cars that normal folks are willing to drive everyday and classics that everyone wants to pay […]
Ah yes, another classic JDM Honda Passport diesel, just like they made them in Japan…wait a minute. The C58 generation Honda Passport was a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo built in Lafayette Indiana, so I’m not sure you’d have ever gotten something in Japan called the Passport in 1995. Hang on…lemme hit the internet real quick…duckduckgo…wiki. Apparently […]
As a part time white v-neck t-shirt afficianado and full-time street racer once said: Ask any racer, any real racer. It don’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning’s winning. A long haired Scotsman concured with his opinion when screamed “There can be only one!”…but that was after decapitating a bunch […]
If there is ever going to be a collectible Civic, then it is probably going to be the CVCC version, which stood for Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion, which was simply an inexpensive way to achieve stratified charge combustion. Today’s example is NOT a CVCC, it has the regular 1.2 liter Honda E-series 4-banger, but that […]
If Santa drives a hot rod, then what does a lowly Elf drive? I’d say this next car would do the trick for an Elf who needs something to get to from the workshop. Find this 1972 Honda N600 offered for $4500 in Adrian, MI via facehappy holidbook. Tip from ME. From the seller: 1972 […]
The 2nd generation Honda Prelude launched in 1983 was a big step up in refinement from the previous generation, which always looked like a child’s toy. The pop-up light equipped Prelude also picked up the cool 2.0 liter B-series Honda motor known for its tunability and reliability compared to the older E-series junk. Find this […]
The crazy turbocharged Honda Fit from yesterday was a bit too trackified for your daily driving needs, then perhaps this next Fit will not have you on the floor throwing a fit. The builder of this next vehicle didn’t turn this into as much of a track car, but it doe have a supercharger and […]
Somebody dumped a load of money into this next car. It takes some serious dough to get 317 wheel-horsepower out of a Honda Fit…and it’s got a bunch of modifications for track days (I’m not familiar with any racing league where this could be raced wheel-to-wheel with other cars and be competitive). However, the asking […]
The Honda Insight wasn’t known as a sporty vehicle, but it did have an available manual gearbox and if you ditch those heavy batteries and swap in a high horsepower K-series 4-banger, you get something that would rule the roads in 1995. Find this 2000 Honda Insight offered for $9000 in Victoria, MN via craigslist. […]
In 1987 Road and Track Magazine tested Honda’s new Prelude 2.0Si and found that it outperformed every other car (included Ferrari 328, Porsche 911, C4 Corvette) that year on the 700-ft slalom with a speed of 65.5 mph. How could a front-wheel-drive Japanese sports coupe out slalom all of the the wide/sticky tire equipped competition? […]
