The February/March, 2009 issue of Honda Tuning goes on sale January 20, but, for the most part, it’s already been circulated. I’ve got to say, I am really happy with this issue, but it’s a far cry from what we had planned. Take the cover cars for example, Eric Dickerson’s ITR and NSX. We had planned on featuring both of them, but not on the cover. We’ve got a serious stockpile of white cars here at the office, which means securing a cover spot with something white isn’t easy—not that Eric’s cars aren’t worthy, but we did have something else in mind and we do have others lined up. Our original cover cars fell through, which left the door wide open. If it wasn’t for Rodrez’s spot-on photography of Eric’s cars, the choice wouldn’t have been so easy. Fortunately, Rodrez handed in the shoot with a few vertical shots that got us out of our cover bind and apparently made Eric quite happy.

Our staff photog, Henry DeKuyper, recently returned from his trip to the Seattle and Vancouver areas. He came back with some great content from a bunch of locals as well as a couple of cars from A&J Racing, but we were especially stoked over this collection of mint-condition, vintage Honda Civics that he shot. You may have seen a couple of these at one of the SoCal-based Japanese Classic Car Shows over the last few years as these guys have been known to make the trek south for that. Simply put, these things are unbelievable. You think it costs a lot to restore your ’89 hatchback? Think again. Imagine trying to restore something more than a decade older than that. Many of these parts are no longer available from the dealer, which makes the outcome even more spectacular.
