Two words in the motoring world that are synonymous Mugen and Honda. Inside Lane takes a drive in the Mugen tuned Honda Civic Type R FN2. This just might be best hot hatch on the planet?

Frankie’s Garage: Honda Tuner Girls
April 15, 2015 by Leave a Comment
I drive a 2003 Honda Accord coupe, but I’m not much of a tuner girl per say, as all I have done is replaced my OEM CD player to a Pioneer DEH-150MP and some expensive Monster car audio cables that I got suckered into buying at Best Buy. I laugh now. Anyhow, these are real tuner girls from Osaka, Japan. This latest episode of Tuner Club Episode #4 takes a look at Nabo Okamoto’s 1996 Honda Civic sedan and Yayoi Torii’s 1991 Honda Civic hatchback.

Frankie’s Garage: Front Wheel Drive is back!
March 4, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Back in the mid-90s, here in California, Honda’s were all the crazed. The past couple of generations of Honda Civic’s were bland and Acura discontinued the Integra line-up, so Honda didn’t really have that cheap affordable sports compact ride anymore. Now it’s back with this “rice rocket” front-wheel drive car, the 2015 Honda Civic Type R Concept. A 4-cyclinder packing 280 horses looking back to Honda’s rich racing heritage. Too bad this model is only UK Europe-spec.

Watching this video makes me wanna watch the anime Initial D. This Honda Civic Type R EP3 powers up the mountain roads and carves the Swiss Alps like nobody’s business. The Civic Type R corners and sticks to the concrete.
