Honda-Centric FF Squad Reminds Us Why We Love Cars [Video]

20/04/2010 | By: Michael Banovsky Add a Comment

Sometimes, life as an auto enthusiast gets a little bleak. Between things like Cash for Clunkers, increasingly tight emissions standards, and increasingly complex (not to mention driver defeating) new cars, it’s easy to forget there are still people out there who love the automobile.

This short (2 minute) film focuses on a group of Honda enthusiasts, the FF Squad, on a trip to the Buttonwillow race track in California. The first part of a series, the film (embedded after the jump) centres around a pack of drivers who are incredibly passionate about their machines.

A few takeaways from the film: the group advocates taking your machine to the track, something we wholeheartedly enjoy. (Though, unlike one driver in the film, don’t shuffle-steer — ever — in a car.) The second takeaway? You may get an incredible desire to browse used Honda Civics for sale.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Tokyo Auto Salon 2010: J’s Racing Honda Insight and S2000

14/01/2010 | By: Jason Siu Add a Comment

While many Japanese aftermarket tuners are taking on the newest models including many of them turning towards European applications, J’s Racing has stuck to what they know best: Hondas. The company’s booth wasn’t overwhelmingly large, but it was clear that J’s Racing is aware of the new Hybrid-tuning craze, displaying its own version of a tuned Insight, complete with light-weight RAYS wheels, an aero kit, lowered suspension and some nice Recaro seats inside. It even featured a unique combination of decals that gave it a widebody look.

Next to this Insight sat a car that represents the other extreme at Honda, the now out-of-production S2000. This model featured the J’s Racing widebody kit that is anything but subtle and has appeared on more than a few cars and more than a few magazine covers on this side of the Pacific.
