Damn, another white on white car in Australia... gonna have to sell my wheels now.... J/K! Looking very sexy, cant wait to see it on air.

I see that you have come into the same issue as i did with the wheels. Work's white is almost a flourescent white, which doesnt match the tone used on most cars. Though it seems a little moreso with the honda pearl than with my Mazda white.

We like to differentiate the word meaning "to grow tired of" from the word to represent the rubber on your wheels down here.

Tyre = Rubber on your wheels
Tire = to grow tired of,\

Glad you guys like it, we also have the new odyssey (RB-3) down here but imo the RB1 is still better looking. RB-3's back side looks a bit strange to me, but dunno maybe it'll grow on me in the future

Hey dom, its me Ray, we chatted on ozhonda board a few years back when you still had your CD5, dunno if you still remember me :). Anywas, ive been following the progress of your cima here on VSC. Love the new look, 19s definitely stands out on your car specially with the different colour theme on left/right side.

you're right, work's white is almost like wall paint white, whereas the honda white has a bit of a cream look to it, the owner might actually custom paint the wheels later in the future to match the car.

any new additions to your car?

IRS, as can be seen on the brostar Odyssey:

Can always go minimal camber on the front too; to contrast against the rears

And ray, yeah i remember chatting to you about that. I see you are still holding it down for the vip movement in Vic... How's your Camry going along?

The van looks great. Color matched wheels would make it look better. Good job so far.

LOL @ BroStar

the camry is gone dom, just recently bought a house and needed it gone :), but yeah hopefully i can be back in the game soon. hopefully next it will be a vip platform, dont mind an RB-3 but as I said before I still think RB-1 looks better

Hows the vip scene in syd? I read an article about a vip car meet in hot4s mags but cant remember if it was in nsw/qld. btw big respect on your commitment/effort to get your car on the road again after the fire. thumbs upp!

BTW, whats wrong with brostar? that is my favorite kit for RB-1

Brostar just sounds funny here in the states. It has nothing to do with the kit because it looks sick

There was coverage in hot 4s? I remember my mate told me one of the editors was keen to come and take pics, but he never turned up (most of the cruises so far have been more about socialising, than actual picture taking/car stuff)

We've had 2 cruises so far, and each time there have been more mods done to the cars. Not a huge turnout (6-8 cars) but alot better than when it was just me driving by myself!

Need to get around to showing pics hey...



Strangely not many Vic members in the forum (a few in perth, couple in adelaide, QLD, but only 1-2 in Melb!). I'll PM you with some info.
