They got the facts wrong on how atts work also. The article does go onto say they wanted to be different and you can't even just put a rotrex onto any k20.

It's in most retailers I find. I know the larger Tesco / Asda stores near me stocks either Jap Performance Mag & Banzai - or maybe its one of them? Maybe ring the store before making the journey.

I noticed in the write-up that Maz says there's no off the shelf mount kits available for Preludes, which led to remember the Hasport mounts. However they're actually only for 4th gens and specifically for the K24 / Accord transmission - I guess the mounting points are different. He also goes on to say a forum member had already done the hard work and produced a set for Maz - I guess this was Mudgey on here? :D
Although, he then goes on to say he used like one of them and made the rest himself anyway. :lol:

Reading snippets on my 10min train journey part of my commute, got some more to finish. It is one of the better write-ups I've read to be fair. 8)

Maz made up the mounts from scratch. Mudgys were useless. He might bring start producing soon.

Before anyone judges this is a guy who swears the NSX is one of the best handling cars he has ever driven.
Doesn't the later UK Legend have ATTS? I remember there was a customer who had one when I was back at Honda, the only reason it was ever in the workshop was for servicing or having accessories fitted - he was slowly working his way through the options catalogue! I've not heard much bad about those cars at any rate, although to be fair there's probably all of about 2 out there :lol:

Hondas version of Mitsubishi active yaw control and nissans attesa-ets pro.

The designer of atts moved onto design nissans version.
