"Seek and you shall find"

As I mentioned in an earlier post I went back to SEEKER to have those guys install DEFI gauges in my DC5.

The shop has a very good reputation in the Honda scene (I think I said that already)
Both Ryo and his mechanic not only provide Honda-only tunning service but also test and tune their customers' cars on race tracks around Japan as well as participate in races in their own race cars.

I was particularly surprised to see SEEKER cars and its people featured in many top magazines alongside SPOON and J's Racing which were spread out on a table in his waiting room. Sometimes I wonder...are they really competing with SPOON or are simply another layer on top of an already successful tuner?

Anyway, they did a great job with the gauges and at the same time on my request re-wired my CAC to use ACC power instead of the cigarette lighter power it was using before.

Oh and I am running a different oil now!
It's MOTUL 300V CHRONO 10w40. Recommended by Ryo (he happens to be a certified MOTUL EXPERT with a certificate from MOTUL to prove it :) )



And not to forget a new coolant, something known as ICE WATER (I haven't been able to get my hands on a producer's link although it does have a mention on SEEKER's website)

One downside to all this is ... labour cost at SEEKER is a little pricey (in my opinion) but maybe I am just out-of-touch with what these Honda tuners actually charge ?

Here are some photos from the day.
