Hey Guys
The latest issue of Wheels Magazine is out now - Turn to Page 58 and you'll see the article where the DC2R is featured there! Must be a first for an Australian magazine to feature a JDM fronted DC2R
I'm waiting to hear back from James from Wheels to see if there are any photos from the day that they can send me so I can post them up here.
Thanks for the nice comments... yeah cordz, my DC2R has had a fair bit of mods done to the engine and other bits and pieces, you might notice it from the engine bay pic! I think not a lot was mentioned in terms of the mods done to my car as the article was more focused about the driving experience of the car itself, like a stock one.
The 0-100km/h they used for the article for the cars reviewed are from factory spec times. The 7.4 secs would have been from the Wheels data obtained back in the days when the DC2R first arrived in Aust. Hehehe, I would be disappointed if my DC2R did 0-100 in 7.4 after the work i've done to the engine :P ... I'm sure it goes a lot faster than that! :P
I'm still waiting for a reply in regards to obtaining photos from the photoshoot from that day, hopefully I get a reply soon so I can post them up on the forums to share!
