October 1975 Playboy - "Honda Hot's Up A Honda" by Brock Yates
Not sure if anyone besides me knows this, but in the October 1975 issue of Playboy, Brock Yates did a full write up on the modification of a 1975 Civic 1200. I have the original full issue framed at my place.
Ironically that is the same year and month I was born. And to even further the irony my ex-girlfriend's dad is the one who gave me the magazine... which still makes me chuckle given how things ended between us
Edit*** Finally posted the pics. Sorry I couldn't scan it and I didn't want to take the frame apart to get at the whole article. You'll just have to live with the cover page.

I met Brock Yates at Summit Point a couple of years ago. He came to a BSR Friday event and stayed for the NASA weekend.
He even drove my ITR track car.
All he could talk about before he got in it was understeer.
Getting out of it, he admitted it wasn't so bad.

If you ever get the chance read his book on the cannonball - the real cannonball.
