Happy Australia Day !

Look what the flying kangaroo brought for me !

A wheel hub (surprisingly it appears to have been made in the US for Honda Japan)


A wheel bearing, a spindle nut, a snap ring and 2 caliper screws (all made in Japan)


Now the whole thing was a mere 12,000 yen. A quarter of what this would have cost me in Australia.
After the holiday I'll make an appointment with my mechanic and get him to swap these parts over.

Do you think this will solve the noise issue ?

Brilliant DC5 vs S2000 chase at Fuji Speedway

Here is an awesome video uploaded by a japanese guy who is a regular to Fuji Speedway in Japan. His car has gone through so many transformations, engine blow outs etc but he managed to get back in there and remain competitive !

Watch how he is chasing a DC5 on the circuit this winter ! I miss Fuji !!

Quick update !

I've been very quiet I know !


Since the end of last year I've been working on a small but important "project" of mine which is yet to take me well until the end of January but as my replacement Japanese parts are on their way as soon as they arrive the car will hopefully stop making that annoying noise AND starting Feb (when the temperatures here drop a little) I will hit the track once again

Stay tuned !
