I’ve Finally Found A Slammed Honda Event I Can Appreciate

No matter how many times the local Civic fanboys yell “JDM, YO!” into my ear, it may come as a surprise that I’m still not a Honda convert.

However, I’ll admit this clip is the closest thing I’ve ever seen to changing my mind about Hondas on airbags and hydraulics.

YouTube video

The chill JDM vibes are on point as these super clean Hondas roll up one by one to do the car limbo, proving they’ve got enough “lows” to earn the respect of the crowd.

Remember, you’re looking at the cars, not the… uh… “limbo assistants” either side of the pole!

Some manage to get under it with ease.

Some have help from… all their friends.

While others do it (far) more tastefully. (We’re looking at the big red NSX here, in case you missed it.)

… And some fail entirely.

But most importantly, they all seem to have a bunch of fun regardless.

Meanwhile, others prove that not all Japanese cars have their fitment quite on point! I imagine this is how it’d look if Kyle Mohan had a Civic. (FD fans will understand!)

What’s interesting here is that the least likely cars imaginable are clearly influenced by the American lowrider scene. There are probably more Civic lowriders in this clip than in the whole of America combined!

Others opt for a more ‘oni-kyan’ (demon camber) approach.

Don’t worry – it’s not only Civics, either. There’s a selection of Hondas, including Preludes, Del Sols, and that NSX.

I always love seeing the different aspects of the JDM tuning scene, and this one has been one of the most enjoyable yet… When I wasn’t too distracted, admittedly.

Check out the video, whether you’re a Honda fanboi or hater. I guarantee it’ll provide good vibes, and maybe even a chuckle or two.
