Japanese Performance Show 2022 [Pt.2]

Here we go, straight back into coverage of this year’s JPS. The number of cars displayed indoors was less than that of 2021’s event, giving people more space to manoeuvre and – most importantly – giving photographers like me some breathing room to shoot. Fewer cars definitely didn’t result in lesser quality, as the standard […]

Japanese Performance Show 2022 [PT.1]

Returning to the site after what has felt like a huge gap in time since the Mimms event three months ago. With summer nearly over for 2022, JPS may in fact be the season ender, although, I’d like to venture all the way up north to attend Cleanfest in Edinburgh, so in terms of car […]

Mimms Honda Day @ Three Sisters Circuit [2022]

Yet another Mimms?! I know it might seem as if this is the only carboy gathering I attend, especially with my most recent blog posts being Mimms @ Pod, but there’s good reason for it. Firstly, it’s worth noting this Mimms event @ Three Sisters Circuit was put on earlier than it normally has been […]

Mimms @ Santa Pod Raceway [2022] PT. 2

Continuing on from the previous Mimms post, here’s some more bits and bobs that I shot at Santa Pod. A very different approach to what is normally modified in a manner to enhance the aggressiveness of the EG Civic. Shame I didn’t see much of it whilst it was parked up. The owner, Pip, must […]

Quick Trip to the Strip | Mimms @ Santa Pod Raceway [2022] PT. I

When you think of Honda, words and terms such as ‘FF’, ‘high-rpm low-torque’, or ‘cornering sensation’ spring to mind. None of these would then normally be associated with any activity at or near a drag strip, so why are Hondas an exception? The answer to that is pretty simple to be honest, because two other […]

Starting Off On The Right Foot | Matty Ferguson’s Honda S2000

Finally. I get to write a feature after the 23 months consisting of Japan stuff, a load of event coverage, a brief bit about an MX-5 specialist and his R33 GT-R, some more car shows, and most recently the introduction of Civik. So yeah, alot has occurred since my last and debut feature I decided […]

As Below, So Above | Mimms Honda Day 2021 @ Three Sisters Circuit

September is usually the month that can’t decide whether it’s done with summer, or isn’t yet ready for autumn. It’s like that transition period between good times in not-bad weather, and the kold seasons of hibernation and/or winter projects. The ninth month of the years also happens to be suitable timing for an “end-of-show-season” show. […]

Dynamically Static | UKDC 2021 @ Teeside Autodrome

Enter the second instalment of this three-part series covering the entire day of UKDC’s Round 4 at Teeside Autodrome. Once I’d gotten an up-close look at most of – if not all – the cars in the inspection/staging zones, it was about time I’d go investigate all the smoke and squeal coming from the other […]

Not Worth the Kompromise | Japanese Performance Show 2021 @ TIC

Shows are always enjoyable, more so after the drought we’ve been through these past couple of years. Not counting Mimms North in September 2020, the last indoor car show I’d visited was Osaka Auto Messe, so yeah it’s been a while. Never having witnessed Japanese Performance Show (JPS) live and direct, I’d made the decision […]

CiviK | Vol. X

At this point, the car was awaiting the day for the recovery truck to come and take it away for LA Fab to give the car a set of new pipes. Bit under-exposed, but the photo just about reveals the Civik’s new rolling stock. This is the third car I’ve mounted the Buddyclub P1 SFs […]

CiviK | Vol. VIII

So where were we? Oh, yeah, engine now where it should be, I wasted no time in tying up all the loose ends before turning that key for the first time. Engine oil was drained prior to purchase, so I replaced the sump plug for that fresh new Spoon Sports magnetic plug. I checked the […]
