We wrap up the DC2 project this month, joined in at the Forza Horizon 6 launch at Caffeine and Machine, had a visit from Mat Watson and some seriously cool JDM imports head to their new owners!
C&M Forza Horizon 6 Launch Event
Set in Japan - This one had our name on it
Forza Horizon 6 is set in Japan and the Caffeine and Machine launch event delivered on every level. Live music, Japanese themed banners, food stands and a car park full of JDM cars, mimicking the in-game festivals!

Mat Watson Visits Torque GT
His cars of choice from the showroom were our Phoenix Yellow DC2 Type RX and a Toyota Land Cruiser 70th Anniversary. Keep an eye on our/Mats channels to see why he was visiting us...
DC2 Project - Completed
A New Lease of Life
Refreshed from the ground up, this car still has everything that made the Integra Type R special in the first place. Unmistakable VTEC character, an immense amount of grip and a rawness that very few modern cars can match. It has been our pleasure to give this high mileage hero a proper new lease of life.
Handovers
Nissan Skyline GT-T Saloon
Housing the RB25DET NEO engine, it comes in at a fraction of the price of an R34 GT-R. A seriously compelling entry into the R34 Skyline platform with the yen rate currently working in your favour and decent examples still available in Japan.
Gen 2 Toyota GR Yaris
2k miles on the clock, grade 5 and with the optional cold weather pack. With an abundance of Gen 2 examples available in Japan, importing one can make more sense than trying to track one down in the UK. Fresh, clean and ready to be driven properly.
Hawkeye Impreza
One of the most refined iterations of that generation Impreza and a staff favourite here at Torque. The widetrack Hawkeye is a proper road going rally weapon with old school thrills that nothing modern comes close to replicating. Gone to a great home.
R32 GT-R
In the care of Torque GT for over a decade, it was a bittersweet day seeing this one go. R32 prices are creeping upwards and with decent examples still available in Japan, if you have been sitting on the fence about getting into one, now is as good a time as any!
Time Attack - Dixcel Drivers
Dan Buckingham - 480bhp Civic
Now running in a higher class with a full aero package and 480bhp, he showed strong pace at Cadwell and Donington. Backed by Dixcel braking performance, we are expecting some results as the season builds towards Brands Hatch.
Dean Riley - VX220 P1 & Lap Record
Dean took P1 and the lap record at round one in his VX220 and backed it up with another P1 at Donington in round two. All achieved on Dixcel Z-Type pads despite soaring track temperatures. The product does the talking.
Dixcel Brake Pads
Proven in Motorsport. Ready for the Road.
Dixcel covers everything from OEM plus daily driving through to full track compounds, with real world motorsport results to back it up. Our full review will point you in the right direction.
Parts News
Jimny - Enkei RPT1
This fresh import arrived completely stock. One set of bronze Enkei RPT1s later and the entire character of the Jimny has changed. If you own one of these and are looking for the best upgrade alloy you can fit, the RPT1 is very possibly the one.
Ohlins R&T Coilovers - Honda S2000
Back in stock with only a couple of sets available. Widely regarded as one of the finest coilover setups you can fit to an S2000 and that reputation is well earned. If you have been waiting, now is the time.
