Some of you may have heard about it, and some of you may not... the new MTV series (on VIVA) call SLIPS.
MeisterR sponsored a Civic on the show to test out the Zeta-R coilovers and the 286mm BigDisk Brakes.

You can watch the episode here: http://uk.viva.tv/shows/slips/episodes/episode-102

While the show is "lacking", it does have some good footage of a standard EG5 (SOHC D16) in action.

The Chassis Uprade are:
MeisterR Zeta-R Coilovers
MeisterR 286mm BigDisk Brake Upgrade

This Civic should be the fastest car in Season1 with the track record of 1:05.40
I am proud of this little Civic, it done really well. :cool:

You can see how much traction and how little body roll this car has considering this is a stock EG5 with MeisterR Coilovers Only.
You can also see in the video how smooth the weight transfer from one side of the car to the other side during the exit of the corners.

Overall, I am happy with the car's performance.
Even though the show isn't very good, it was just fun to get involved.

Yep, it seems there are some broadcasting code that Ofcom came up with that prevent them from saying any brand on TV program as it is consider "product placement".

Unless it have editorial value (which Ofcom will decide when they get the complain), they will fine the producing company for. So if you wonder why it looks like it is on a budget... it is. :lol:

It got potential, but it need A LOT of modification.

Kid needs to learn to drive. They should have given a penalty for cutting ie: going through the course (hay bales).
