12 D-Series Supreme!
SpeedFactory Racing builds fast
cars—you already know that. But did
you know they built a 9-sec SOHC
Civic that makes almost 800hp?
Now you do!

18 One Man, One Cam
We don’t see many built and boosted
D series anymore, but guys like Kevin
Gonzalez are proving that the SOHC
powerplant has plenty of potential.

26 A Product of the Golden Era
Jason Su got his start in the import
performance world during the Golden
Era, that magical stretch of time that
spanned the 1990s—well before the
Internet and “stance.”

34 Blind Networking
This H22-powered hatchback owner
met a number of industry representatives
who offered advice, assistance, and
a full-blown turbo build for the new year!

40 A Helping Hand
RC Chacon landed on the cover of HT
last year with his raw boosted hatchback.
This time he lands on the cover
again but with a sedan. Oh, and it’s not
his car. Well, it sort of is his car but…
just read the story!

53 Osaka JDM
Osaka JDM has gained a huge fan base
on the Internet with just a few photos
and videos of its shop cars floating
around the web. We pay a visit and bring
you a loyal customer’s sick EF9, and the
shop’s official race car. Boom.

64 Tightey Whitey
This New Yorker prepped an LS block for
duty, and then set it aside for six years!
Finally unleashed, the motor found its way
to a spotless ’00 coupe’s bay.

70 Turbo Revolution
If you don’t know the name Myles Bautista
or Rev Hard, prepare to be educated.
One of the most important figures in our
industry’s history tells it like it is and holds
nothing back.

76 Bluegrass Vibes
This ’98 Integra sedan blurs the lines
between imports, lowriders, and anything
else customized on two wheels or four.

82 Constant Progression Matt Tucker was already in the pages of
HT with his infamous yellow CTR. He was
bored, so he put together a badass S2K
and let us shoot it. What a guy!
