RG suspension – FD2 type R
As this FD2 is still rather new, not that many companies are making suspension that are tried and tested. In all honesty, I would rather opt for a European brand suspension which I am familiar with. But my regular supplier who supplies to some of the European race team still does not have anything available. I guess an off the shelf part will suffice for now. Pretty sure... Read More

9 June Sepang Trackday
I finally did it! I beat Yak’s quickest time (well, just barely) in Sepang. He did it in his EG with K20A, and i did it in my DC5 with K20A too!! Well, it wasn’t a all smooth sailing trackday. I too had some share of “mishaps”. Busted tires! But it was lucky we had some hindsight and brought along 4 more spares, or else, we can kiss goodbye to the trackday. Going... Read More
Where did you learn to drive like that?!?!
Does this look familiar to you? Oh well, perhaps not… it is not everyday that we see a smashed up head from an over-rev situation. This is clearly a case of valves (intake and/or exhaust) and pistons hitting each other, leaving behind a mangled heap of metal. Anyway, this happened to a customer who bought a used Euro R and have been driving it for 2 months now. One evening,... Read More
Toys for my FD2 type R
After the arrival of the FD2 type R, we got all excited and everyday has been an adventure going through our catalogues. Suddenly we have all become kids in a candy store. If we have been given a blank sheet on how we can modify the FD2, or what parts we can choose to buy. I am sure we are going to tick all the boxes that the menu offers. Pretty much like our weekly Dim... Read More
Arrival of new FD2 type R

MME 06
This article was contributed by close friend and customer whom we did the MME together as a team. Trackdays Trackdays and more trackdays. It is getting a bit boring. So one day a few of us sat down over coffee and thought. Hmm…why don’t we do it properly for once? And hence, we decided to do this: The Petrona Merdeka Millennium Endurance Race. It... Read More
EG6 TrackCar
This article was contributed by a close friend and customer, hope it would make for an interesting read. Having driven a roadcar on track for the last 10 years, it is time to get more serious. How about an EG Civic? Handles well, goes well and stop well. It has proven itself time and time again on track. So I decided to buy this: Unfortunately I have been driving turbo on track...
