I've owned this car for quite a long time and it's come a long way over the years to the point where I've stopped modifying (for now
).
From the title, the Honda guys will know J's Racing. TGM is a race team in the UK that look after it. In it's current guise, it's very much still a road car but catered for track.
Anyway to start from the very beginning..
Many moons ago, I picked up a facelift DC5

It came with Mugen Assist meters

and sat on Mugen Sports suspension

They were ok but off they came.....

..and were replaced with Eibach Pro Street S coilovers which went very with the Toyo R1R tyres I had on the wheels at the time

A B&M short shifter went in

Bye bye OEM

Dixcel Slotted Discs, Carbon Z-Type pads and Hel brake lines replaced the standard Brembo items which gave shorter stopping distances, but also provided fade free braking (on track) and a more progressive feel.

I had the cam cover smoothed and painted champ white and changed the plug cover over for a carbon fibre one

DRE shift light prior to fitting

My car as it was then, taken at Brands Hatch circuit where it performed very well.
