Thanks for the advice guys. It has a DC Sports manifold but I cannot see any heatshield, could it possibly be a driveshaft heat shield? As I have just read about this and will look into it tomorrow. It sounds like it could be a chain rattle but the fact that it only comes and goes at certain...

Hi Everyone, Thanks for all your responses. I did not buy the car in the original post but I have recently bought a different DC5! Finally! Its a CW PFL 2001 with red interior, the exact spec I wanted. My question is now, does anyone know of any Honda specialists in Essex that they can recommend...

Yeah cheers, Also joined that the other week to see what goes on there!

Thanks, I'm definitely going to be patient and wait for the right one that's not a million quid! Ive got all the alerts set for ebay and autotrader haha and I look a few times a day just to see what comes up! Thanks for the advice, I'll hopefully make a post on here one day to show you what I've...

I do intend on keeping the car for the foreseeable future, it may sound sad but this is a dream car of mine that I've wanted since I was a child! So it is something I will keep for as long as I possibly can. I totally understand the idea of getting the best possible example to begin with to...

Thanks for the responses so far, the rust does scare me a bit tbh but you would hope if someones gone to that extent then they would do a proper job. Im a mechanic so any mechanical issues I can sort myself easy enough but bodywork I wont touch! Ive got some more before photos to show the extent...

Hi everyone, I've just joined this forum as I have finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a DC5R. I am looking on the lower end of the market as my budget is around £11K. I have been looking at this particular car for a couple of weeks and been speaking to the owner, what are your opinions...
