Overseas Parts

So I realize that as an RSX owner, I not only have some of the cheesiest aero parts available on the USDM market, but I also have some of the sweetest Type-R parts available on the JDM and Euro market...problem is they're in the Euro market!

In light of this dilemma, I, Dillon, decided it'd be nice to find a site based out of the UK or Australia that could supply me with the right amount of JDMage for my RSX if I ever decided to modify it any time soon.

Here's how I found this site that I'm about to show you...

Step one.

Go to Google.co.uk.

Step two.

Search for "JDM Car Parts"

Now, we've all seen the usual websites such as Password JDM, and you've maybe even seen J's-Garage.  But this time, try to resist those websites that sell sweet carbon fiber cool air intakes, stickers, and used JDM engines, and go for one that you've never seen before.

The website you see above is called "Nengun" and it's just one of the sites I found for JDM parts in the UK.

And viola, Step Three-- order your parts.

I also found this site, which is pretty amazing.  Eu.tougedistribution.com has the best selection of car parts that I've seen in a while, but unless you have a car that's pretty popular amongst the tuner scene, I recommend not even bothering.  That means you, person in the Prius.

Happy buying!

Swindon Honda; How Honda makes British CRVs and Civics

Hello, and welcome to another addition of ɭexi.ɭaron!

Today, we delve into the topic of mass-production, specifically regarding Honda's British CRV and Civic.

Honda's Swindon Manufacturing Plant was established in Southwest England in 1985. Since '85, Honda has invested the American equivalent of 2.11 billion dollars into the Swindon plant.

Before each car is released, each and every piece of equipment is subject to rigorous testing and inspection. The plant can turn out one car in 80 seconds, and it only takes an hour to produce 60 engine blocks. That's about 3,527 pounds worth of aluminum, for those of you who don't know. Check out this video tour of the plant!
