Thanks for the reply Gus. Please, where did you buy that front mount Datum? I need one for track days really.

Thanks, Sam.

Terry - Whats up with your car dude?

Sam - I got the front Datum1 on a group buy from another forum (Civiclife.net). But i have seen a J's racing front mount somewhere. I will have a look and send you the link via PM. :salut:

Gutted mate!! I'll have a wee read.

[bonezzz]

... I dont know whether to laugh or cry!! I absolutely LOVE the orange wheels.. but a bit sad as orange wheels was something I was looking at to 'be different'. Originally wanted red wheels but seen a couple of those, I wonder what orange with the red H and red lip would look like... Again I love those orange wheels :thumbup:

[gus-ep3]

Cheers man!!

Dont think red and orange will go tbh. :scratch:

Randomly found a vid of me on the track at Kaimes from Apil 09. :scratch:

Hi Gus,

I've found the car! Your car was the CTR that stood out the most at JAE 2009 for me. Those orange wheels are truly awesome! The stripped interior, the orange thing on the dash board and even the stickers in the back window were ace!

Crazy Jap cars FTW!!!!

Phil.

the orange thing on the dash board

That would be my pet puffer fish.

Cheers mate. Always puts a smile on my face when it gets a compliment.

:thumbup: Awesome car dude, where did you get you wind deflecters from? What bhp is your car putting out?

[gus-ep3]

Cheers Scotty!!

I got the wind deflecters off a mate who was stripping his car. So mucho cheapness.
And it made 186.4bhp ATW's late last year, so pretty average. Not been on the RR this year.

What stand were you on at JAE?

I can see the CTRO stand in the background of one of your pics.

[gus-ep3]

I was on the EPCivic.com stand. Just across from TRO and next to Edinburgh Cruise.
