If you look at the colour carefully, you will notice this is not a normal white, we have used white base with Peral Blue crystal on the surface, so the car is actually blue when you see it under the sun!!!

Enjoy

Thanks

We are the hardrace sole distributor in UK, we always use hardrace parts for our Honda race car and I have asked them to custom make all the spherical bearing kit for my brother's Altezza before they only had harder bushes.

We have one set of hardrace engine mount coming for this car as well, should be here next week.

I am looking for a decat pipe for my brother's car, anyone know where I can find one?

Dixon
