It’s not every day you see a couple that share the same interests let alone drive the same type of car! I’m sure the majority of automotive enthusiasts would love for their partner to share the same interests if they haven’t already been forced into doing so. Alex and Julie both had an idea of how they wanted to modify their cars and so their journey began.
Being a small fish in a big pond can be quite stressful at times and lets face it, we all need an outlet. Alex uses his car as his outlet. Not only is this car daily driven but also a track warrior!
Alex’s Type S is rolling on 17×9 +22 Enkei RPF1s wrapped in 235/45 Dunlop tyres. It has been professionally lowered on Buddyclub RSD coilovers and is rocking a Hardrace rear camber kit and Hardrace RCA’s (Roll Center Adjusters). Upgraded PCI offset bushings help stabilize the car. To complete the look, Alex added a full Mugen lip kit which was painted to match the rest of the car.
The leather seats were swapped out for SR4 Recaros. Practicality is a must when your car gets tracked often. As you can tell by the wear on the seats, the car has definitely been put to use.
The K20Z1 is breathing through an Injen CAI (Cold Air Intake) and expelling gasses through 4-2-1 TODA headers and a Spoon N1 catback exhaust. A Hondata KPRO is the brain of the Type S which assists in pushing out 140kW at the wheels.
In the male dominated car scene, Julie needed something which shows style and sophistication. This Luxury DC5 which Julie has owned since she obtained her license has been transformed to suit her.
To get the car rolling, Julie has staggered BBS LM’s with 18×8 +35 up front and 18×9 +35 in the rear. To hold them in place are Work RS wheel nuts. The wheels are wrapped in 215/40 Toyo T1R’s. To stop the tyres rubbing, Tein Basic coilovers have been installed all around.
To give this car the attitude it deserved a Type R wing was added and custom plates were put on.
Julie has installed a Spoon air filter to help the K20A breathe.
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.
