Julian..
That was me driving the Gen2 when I was racing with you, not Faidzil :) That's why you can see the driving style is the same! Faidzil was throwing it smoother than I was.. i just opposite-lock all the way into the turns!
The black wira I drove was surpringly a lot of fun. Handling was very progressive with the car communicating what it was doing in the corners. For a 1.5 Auto it felt pretty strong. Probably faster than a Gen2 Auto that's for sure. The owner just needs to buy a 20mm R3 Steering Spacer to bring the steering wheel a bit closer to the driver.
And pls lah everyone, I'm not "uncle"!!! I'm a "hip daddy-o" aha!! At least that's what I like the girls to call me :P

Mr. Hip Daddy-O,
You blinded me with smoke from the rear inner wheel. I almost choke from it too.... hahahahahha. It was fun driving behind R3 guys. Thats how I learned the racing lines of the track.
For my seating position, reach and height, I find 60mm spacer more suitable for me. Thats why I chose the R3 60mm spacer. I used to have 40mm and it didnt give me enough offset. This is really up to the individual's preference.
With the 60mm spacer, I find that I no longer hit the steering wheel with my thighs while doing heel& toe.
However, for people on the heavier side (like me), you might find it a bit annoying getting in and out of the vehicle (hip brushing the freaking steering). By adjusting the seat backwards before you exit will solve this problem.
