Melts In Your Mouth

It’s been two years since my prolonged tenure with Honda Tuning came to an end, and holy crap have I missed writing about the scene.

For those who are unfamiliar with my work, I was that foul-mouthed jackwagon who got the inside scoop on Backyard Special only days before a typhoon raped Nagoya’s tender rectum and then turned around to sniff the titanium tailpipe of the Top Fuel Time Attack S2000 before it ate GT-Rs for breakfast. But now I’m happy to announce that I’m back. And to all you Integra fanatics—get ready! Your perverse affinity for all things track-prepped and JDM is about to get one helluva tantalizing kick in the balls, all courtesy of M&M Honda of Fukuoka, Japan!

M&M is solely responsible for this ’06 Integra Type R, owned by longtime customer Mikitoshi Hashimoto. Since the DC5 ITR was never made available here, we were immediately drawn to this car for obvious reasons. M&M is one of those companies that designs, engineers, and manufactures the extreme, specializing in components built to perform well on the track that double as street legal in Japan. Every car the company touches walks a fine line between day-to-day practicality and maximum performance, as its entire catalog continues to be fabricated in house from aero to exhaust, along with individual throttle body setups like the one seen on this DC5.
