Many of you might have seen some new decals on our DC5 race car…Gear X and Special Projects.
So what happened? We hadn’t updated our blog for a while, but during that time our team member Reinier did an excellent job in rebuilding our gearbox. The stock box wasn’t too happy with the 300+ HP we thrown at it, so time for improvement here!

We got in contact with Jeff Owen from Kiwi Project / Special Projects / Gear X. After some discussion and advice with the goals for this car in mind we decided to get the following parts:

* Pro III CLose Ratio Gear Set
* 5.08 Final Drive
* Carbon Synchros
* New bearings/Seals.

After a season of rushing the car to be ready (2012) and some startup issues, we are now ready for the 2013 season Time Attack! See TimeAttack.nl for a new repo of our DC5 (dutch only).

We made it! Yes! We always said we would start from scratch if we could not go below 2 minutes on Assen TT Circuit.
In our first serious testing laps for this season, after the full rebuild and a lot of suspension tweaks, we made it!
Now we will finetune both the car and the driver, try to loose some extra weight (both the driver and the car? ) and try to imrove this laptime during the year!

Testing Time! Some times a video says more than words….

We made it to HondaTuner!

End of last season we had Adam Ivell of 6Two1.co.uk visiting us on Circuit Zandvoort. He made a nice photoshoot!
