2 CommentsYou know how some unpopular cars can become popular over time? A Civic Type-R might have once been the thing to be seen in, but now a Civic Wagovan now ironically seems to have more cred to it?
There’s a phrase for it in Japan.
Minor car tuning.
15 CommentsEven though I was working on the Honda Type-R part of this particular Hot Version shoot, that didn’t stop me from having a look at some of the other cars that were there. This 180SX was there for a segment about drifting techniques, hosted by Nobuteru Taniguchi.
22 CommentsThis is a shiny and new FD2 Civic Type-R. I was given the job of driving it from the Hot Version production offices in Tokyo to the crew’s hotel all the way over in Niigata for the latest video shoot.
The things we do.
19 CommentsI was on another Honda-centric Hot Version video shoot this week. There was a lot of running around and moving cars here and there for various shots, which meant I was hopping in and out of interesting Hondas for most of the day.
This one was probably the most interesting. Keiichi Tsuchiya’s personal NSX-R. Of course, I had to get a picture.

4 CommentsDespite the other more expensive and faster machinery sitting around Type One, this little Civic caught the eyes of quite a few in our group.
Honda people are going to have to forgive me if this is a particularly famous car, because I have no idea.
Otherwise, just enjoy the pics.
27 CommentsI’ll admit, I’m not as much of a Honda fan as some of the people I was with on the tour. One of them cleaned out the discount t-shirts at the Honda stand at the Autosalon. Another one actually bought and wore a Honda lawnmower t-shirt.
That said, I was looking forward to seeing what Spoon was all about.
20 CommentsRemember the pic I posted of Shun Akutsu’s Advan NSX drifting at Tsukuba Circuit? Well, he came over the other day for a little party we had at the house, and I heard about a bit of the history behind his unusual choice in drift car.
Now there’s a perfect example of early 90s Japanese men’s fashion.
