Car Spotlight>> Honda City On Steroids

Recently I paid a visit to well known Hakosuka tuners Jenesis (our article here), where I came across a rather odd car sitting in the garage. In amongst the myriad of Nissan classics was, of all things, this little guy: a Honda City.

When you think of Hondas, the City is rarely associated with performance. The Civic, Integra, Accord and Prelude yes, but the City? Hmm. As you can see however, this is a rater serious example. The car itself belongs to a customer, and the project has been built up slowly over the years.

This tiny City’s intentions are quite clear when you peek inside. The interior has been fully stripped, the dash gutted, and two Recaro seats have been fitted. A comprehensive roll-cage has also been embedded to strengthen the chassis.

The little machine has AP Racing calipers and is sitting on a full set of 15″ Weds Sport wheels…

…wrapped in Advan rubber both front and rear.

Popping the hood reveals a pleasant surprise: a worked B16A. One of the Jenesis workers gave us a taste of this B16A’s insane induction roar.

Personally, I love unique cars like this. What are your guys’ thoughts?

That cage is way too close to the seats. Drive that thing without a helmet on and you're dead.

There is a Honda Beat at AutoAdventure in PDX and I think I am into these little econo boxes. Sweet build on this one, must be a sweet little AutoX'r.

4

Anyone agrees that It looks almost exactly like a Daihatsu Charade? especially from the rear.

5

Personally I prefer the first generation Honda City, but I guess this pretty impressive example would do fine for me. :P

6

Amazing! Pocket Rocket

7

Gotta love a lightweight N/A car stripped out for track work. This thing would hammer

8

The STi hood scoop...



Why?



That needs to go...

9

I would like to drive it! I just not crazy about the subi scoop on it...but it is functional at least.

10

When I think of honda,

VERY Few are associated with performance.

Variety is the spice of life. I love articles like this. Keep it up guys

14

Paint that hood scoop black and GAME ON!!!! I love unique cars like that.

15

must be really really FUN to drive. should even feel more scary than sitting on an EF!

16

I really love these little Hondas, along with the Today. This tuned example is awesome, I really like it!

17

This is one dope little rig! Id rock that for sure. A B20 block might make things even more interesting!

18

I LOVE it! Different *and* fun. Put a smile on my face just looking at it. Thanks for sharing it Casey.

19

Derek, your a moron. Firstly the average Japanese dude is short enough to clear that just find. Second, some padding is all you'd need. Third, I have a degree in automotive engineering from Collins so shut up.

20

Pretty EPIC build, i'm a sucker for hondas!

21

hoodscoop is both tacky and useless.

22

Ruben, It may look tacky but since the motor is running ITB's that subi scoop lets more air into the intake. Function>form on this car

There was an anime/manga series about a pair of cops, they used to drive a honda city, that was full tuned, it even had a nitro fit in hahaha it was called under arrest... also, it had nice bikes, and nice cars.
