Default New member - JDM ITR in NZL

Hey guys,

I've been browsing these forums for a while picking up tips and info etc.
I took a bit of a drive today and took some nice pics of my car so thought I'd show you some pics.

I imported the car direct from Japan through a friend who runs a Honda dealership in New Zealand.

The car came with;
Cusco adjustables
16" gun metal Buddyclub P1 Racing SF wheels
Full straight through stainless exhaust (obnoxiously loud - soon to be swapped with my mates race ITR Mugen twinloop setup)

I've added;
Mugen Intake
Pro 1 4-1 headers
Spoon Socks
Spoon style mirrors
J's Racing rear strut brace
J's Racing radiator cap
VAFCII
Work lightweight lock nuts
Hawk racings pads and Silverline DOT 5.1 fluid

Still to fit;
Cusco brake stopper
Sabelt harnesses for track day

I'm absolutely loving the useable power the car has and the way it handles when going through the tight'n twisties on the way to the beach house









At the strip:




Pics with a friends DB8R:

I had 10 runs and ran them all between 14.4 and 14.6 - pretty average track conditions.

Reasonably happy with the times though as I was taking it pretty easy on the car as I'd had it less then a week when I was at the strip. Deffinately room for improvement

132.3 kw is approx 176.4whp according to my intelectual brother

Does that sound about right? After the tune the VTEC change over has been lowered and it's much smoother power band.

Both Rs look great. It's the first time I've seen an ITR with BC P1 Racing SFs.
