Thanks! wow you used to own a NSX?? it is a really nice car... NSX used to smoke my IS on the track badly... I guess the reason why my IS could do all the good handling is because of the Ohlins coilovers I've put into it, altho it's a bit expensive but it's worth it!!

I hate to be the old fogey here.

but..

Cmon man. You aren't even in your own lane half the time. Blind corners, tiny streets, pedestrian crossings.

What are you going to do when you kill a family who were just on their way home from grandmas house.

Keep it on the track and don't be a **** like that video shows.

Seriously, don't post it on youtube either..

A lot of Chinese international students with nice cars gets bad rep over in the west coast, just dont be like them and end up in the news

+1

I love my car, sure. But I would never drive it like you did yours, unless I was on a track.

Sorry, but I've seen what going in the other lane at night has done...

How long did you spend to DIY your car? It seems like you've done lots of modifications to the GS bumper too!

the bumper itself took roughly 63 hours. Getting the grill to fit right was a pain and then creating the lips was a whole nother challenge
