THE_EGG's NEW DS3 THP!

[THE_EGG]

Hi guys,

I haven't been on this forum for while and thought I'd update you guys with my new car! I traded in my old 2011 DStyle 1.6 at the end of last year and bought a 2012 Sport Yellow/Black DSport THP155. It's been a while since driven a manual but I'm completely used to it now and it is a gem, especially on the race track Overtaking Golf GTI's and Toyota 86's is just such a great feeling. Unfortunately I've only got track event pictures as my HDD that stores all my music and pics decided to die a few days ago. oh and I had to weigh up whether yellow seats were better than the 3D tails, and decided it was easier to put on the 3D tails aftermarket, and I saved money getting the 2012 model.

Here it is;

Here are some vids as well;

And yes the s-cargo van was there just for some lols. I had to take some cool-down laps as well to let the tyres, brakes and myself cool down as it was a 35C day.

Yeh it's a bit north of Brisbane about a 30-40min drive at Lakeside International Raceway. My favourite track out of the 2 tracks I've tried, but I don't push too hard as it is fairly unforgiving if a mistake is made + these aren't proper track days so no helmets etc.

Sounds like a laugh

Haha sure, if the track day happens to be on when you're over. They usually run these about once a month through my local club.

I like your thinking! You can never have too much yellow!!

Wot? Only 35C? I thought you guys were having a heatwave!

I should note it was 35C at 8am in the morning :P And it was crazy humid too, 75-80% from memory. Also by heatwave it isn't too bad it's more the return of the floods again although not quite as bad where I live when compared to the 2010-2011 floods.

Correct, a Go Pro Hero 2 with the motorsport pack thingy.
