Hondas have always been very popular in the tuning scene, and even though the Civic is the most popular of them to modify, it’s not the only car in Honda’s line-up that people choose to make their own. Pretty much every generation of the Accord is also a popular pick. For his project, Paul of Team Overdosed chose a 1993 Accord coupe and with the help of a few key sponsors, set out to make his new pride and joy a beast that would be equally at home on the street or a race track.

Back when I got into the industry, a mere 22 years ago, the car alarm installed in my 1982 Dodge Aries (sedan version, don’t you know) included an impressive two wires and a knob to adjust the shock sensor sensitivity. We have come a long way, and now have security and convenience systems that can tell us the location of a vehicle, allow us to remote start a car from more than a mile away and even let us use our cellular phone to activate functions from another town,

California’s Monterey Peninsula plays host to the world’s premier automotive celebration, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, every August. Only the most beautiful and rare cars are invited to grace the famed 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links with their presence. We promised that our classic-car writer, Nigel Matthews, would walk the 18th fairway, but did not reveal that he would also be

Like so many times before, some of the best cars designed, were born to take the fight to a rival manufacturer. In 1965, Don Yenko saw the potential that the newly redesigned Corvair had in competitive road racing. It was this year that Yenko’s love of motorsports, accessibility to GM products and a “get it done” attitude set into motion a series of events that would produce some of the most sought-after domestic machinery.
