Feature Car Friday, Issue 5 – Chris’s Acura RSX Type S

08/03/2012 05:00AM New!

The 2002 Acura RSX Type S pictured was a reward to myself for a work promotion in 2002 that meant a longer commute up and down 95. The mods started a year later. It started with a list called “fixing the issues”, then it became a show car, then I went auto-crossing and changed the [...]

Feature Car Friday, Issue 4: EH Civic Built Right The FIRST Time!

06/14/2012 06:00AM New!

Volkswagen guys have a phrase called “OEM+”. Essentially it’s the idea of taking the existing styling & performance attributes and accenting them, upgrading where you can. Sioux Falls South Dakota’s Eric Dabbert’s EH hatch would be OEM+++ because one plus just wouldn’t cut it!

HR Feature Car Friday, Issue 3: Honda’s forgotten chassis gets K power!

03/23/2012 10:12AM New!

When you say civic, 93 hatches & 99 Si’s come to mind; maybe an EP3 or an FG2 if you’re a new school guy. The EM2 has traditionally been Honda’s “black sheep” since it was packing an anemic bastard D series, and styling that left something to be desired.

HR Feature Car Friday, Issue 2:Moe Power! From H to K all day!

03/02/2012 06:00AM

Murfreesboro Tennessee’s Moe Drennon has a beautiful ’92 CX hatchback, but it sure didn’t always look this pretty. It started out as a forgotten, unloved, sad, little car, that was used as a bird feeder by it’s original owners! Moe started out by cleaning out the bird seed and a simple H22 swap with associated [...]

LIVE FROM JAPAN 1: Searching for LOVE in Japan.

02/24/2012 06:00AM

In my previous post I introduced the comparatively tame Hondas I have been driving for a while. Now it’s time for a change of pace.

Last year I finally convinced the boss (my Japanese better half) we needed a second car. So my search for the perfect match started and I eventually stumbled onto this:

HR Feature Car Friday, Issue 1: Zack’s Blown Big Block RSX

02/17/2012 11:06AM

Zack Zweifel of Janesville Wisconsin didn’t start out as a tuner; he was just an average kid with a ’96 Maxima that suffered an unfortunate end.  With his Nissan DOA, Zack’s friends showed him the light and convinced him to get a Honda, the first time VTEC engaged, Zack was hooked!

LIVE FROM JAPAN!

02/10/2012 06:00AM

To start with a quick introduction, I am originally from Sydney Australia and in 2001 found myself in Japan being completely overwhelmed by a very unique culture. Since then I have spent more than 7 years living and working in Japan.

Brad Thompson’s Supercharged 8th Gen.

01/02/2012 12:51PM

Brad purchased his car back in spring of 2008 with the intentions of keeping it somewhat stock. Well, we all know how that works out with the love we have for our cars. Within the first 6 months, he picked up the OEM fog lights, HFP front and rear lip kit, HFP suspension, Progress rear [...]

Justin Graham’s simple and clean EBP EM1…

09/14/2011 09:26AM

Hybrid Racing has been working with Justin on his EM1 for the last few months to get it to where it is today. The car was first built with a turbocharged B16A, but it turned out to have numerous issues and was something that he just really didn’t enjoy. During the turbo build, all of [...]

March Spotlight: Matt Tuckers Civic Type R.

03/18/2011 11:05AM

Matt Tucker from Alabama is building one of the cleanest CTR’s I have seen in a long time. Matt and some of his buddies, whose cars we will feature in the future, have become good friends of Hybrid’s throughout his build process and have visited us in Louisiana to pick up some parts and to [...]
