The Pursuit of Function (2000)

This film explores the subculture of dedicated Honda tuners. Rejecting flashy body kits and oversized wheels, these enthusiasts prioritize clean Japanese aesthetics and genuine performance. The documentary offers an inside view of their passion and the diverse aspects of the Honda tuning world: custom projects, JDM styling, the internet's impact, road racing, and the increasing issue of car theft. Featuring prominent figures like members of FFSquad, and editors from c16 Magazine (Rodney Wills) and Super Street Magazine (Jonathan Wong), the film chronicles the evolution of this underground culture into a mainstream phenomenon.
