This story is still amazing to me. The wheels are finally here and I still don't really believe it. Anyone that may of been associated with FWD Drag Racing for a while might remember a very rare, not very used drag wheel built by BBS back in the late '90s, early 2000's. I have known about these 4x100 BBS Drag Wheels since approximately 2004 when the only 2 sets that I knew of in existence belonged to Stacey Hyche and Tracey Hyche who ran a NDRA Turbo 4 Integra and a NDRA Comp 4 Civic. They were also offered in...

I am always on the hunt to find cool, rare parts on the market. Surprisingly after doing this for so many years I am still coming across new parts that I never knew existed. Enter the Mugen N1 Steering Wheels. This is a really cool piece of Mugen history because apparently these are so limited in production because they mainly went to actual N1 Race Teams for use in their race cars.

You learn something new everyday and today I learned of a special Honda CRX and Honda Civic Si Edition that I never knew existed. It is called the F1 Special Edition and was offered in the 1986 Model Year as a CRX Si and a Civic Si.

Very difficult to even find an image of an authentic one in the real world. No idea how many of...

The Mugen MF204 F3 Racing Engine was developed some time around 1988 and ran in the F3 Racing Cars. (Information Courtesy of www.Mugen-Power.com) "Following F3 regulation requiring use of commercially available engine blocks and heads, B20a mounted on Prelude was modified into it. (Mugen MF204 Engine) Due to regulated exhaust limit, development was extremely difficult, however, MUGEN won the Japanese F3 constructor's Championship for 3 consecutive...

Here is a Rare Honda Item that we have been lucky enough to collect from over the years (thanks again Jason). This is an authentic Spoon Sports 96-00 Civic EK Gauge Cluster. I have tried to do some research as to how many of these were actually produced with no luck and tried to contact Spoon Sports Japanese headquarters as well with no success so your guess is as good as mine. But I do know that these seem to be pretty rare and are gradually commanding more and more money on the Used Parts market as they become harder...
