Old school?

Some of the dudes at work are getting all excited about Honda Civics, and are talking about how they're so "old school." I guess you can probably find a cheap Civic, throw a thousand bucks worth of knockoff ebay parts on it, and you're good, right?

Anyhow, I got to thinking about it, and the methods of improving a Honda Civic nowadays has progressed enough to become pretty "new school." This car was at Spoon/Type One in Shinjuku, in 2007. Suspension, brakes, chassis lightened and stiffened. K-series, with enough power that they chose to use 255/40's up front. The fiberglass flares came off of something else. Can you tell what they're from?

Everyone thinks that Spoon Sports is all about money. True, their quality is tops, and you can't cheap out on that. It's also about making good choices; There's no price on that.

It's still basically the same ballgame, though it's all driven by performance. You gotta love a car that can do the work.
