About Axion industries

 In 1995, Mike Hinton successfully installed an E30 M3 engine into a 1976 BMW 2002.  From that moment on, his passion for car modification quickly became a beloved (and expensive) hobby.

In 1996, he purchased his first Honda: a 1992 Civic Hatchback VX. Though he had studied Hondas for years, working on this car revealed the brand’s nearly limitless modding potential, cementing it as his platform of choice.

For the next 13 years, Mike continued modifying cars and building a loyal following. As interest grew, so did the questions about where he got his parts and how he installed them. To streamline these requests, he launched a small website in 2009: Axion Industries, which offered the parts he used for sale, along with some guidance. 

Little did he know that nearly 16 years after its launch (and many Hondas later), this site, as well as his “mad scientist” builds, would end up making him one of the top go-to resellers for JDM aftermarket parts in the world.

What Sets Axion Apart

Being 100% self-funded has allowed Mike tight control over every part of Axion, including his customer service experience, which has become a differentiator in the industry.

“There are so many different ways to get wrong information on parts, which is why I still believe in 1:1 communication,” says Mike.  “With my nearly 30 years of JDM parts expertise, I want to continue to use that knowledge to help others get the right parts the first time.  It will always be the cornerstone of my business.”
