Default kinda OT: what the hell is Hondasport?

i always see these ricers with "Hondasport" stickers on their cars, i've heard of them but never really seen anything from them. is it a company that went out of business or did it change names? i've did a search on Google.com and i still can't find anything about them.

oh man. hondasport was a company that made pedals and other stupid stuff around 1997 -1998. look in any "vintage" superstreet (one without JDM) and you'll see hondasport products ALL OVER the nopi catalogs... u know the ones with the red and yellow checkerboard outlines!!

who else remembers that?

the character doesn't mean anything if you understand japanese kanji... well it doesn't have anything to do with Hondasport.

Hondasport was put out of business by American Honda. They weren't allowed to use the "Honda" name.
