i live in ireland so dc5,s are a very common sight id say i see less s2k,s i can always rob a bank and buy a cl7 euro r ,dc5 and s2k :lol: one for every situation

Trying to decide sold my dc5 over a year ago and would buy one again as im in a position to afford one again but rear wheel drive and vtec are very tempting also heard s2k are a handfull to drive on the limit i dont need 4 seats as no kiddies as yet :) but are they as fun is the main thing or...

It should not effect your alarm also unless your running extras without the engine running you should not need a bigger amp battery the alternator is well capable of running extras

You could try swaping ballasts around or try the other bulb in the one thats not working if this doesnt work could be a broken wire or corrosion in the connections or bad earth or bad connection

Ive had mine out twice and left the exaust on both times with no trouble mines a standerd down pipe thou some aftermarket units could get damaged saves time and trouble

Did you cause them tyre marks in the pic [-X lol

Bigger injectors are normaly only used when the car has been turbocharged or supercharged because of the need for a lot more fuel

they need to be twisted and at the same time pushed back you can buy a tool to do this or use a g clamp and a adjustable pipe shifter to turn the piston while keeping pressure on it with the clamp

I can take anywhere from 3 hours to 5 hours on a ramp out and in with all the corect tools not to bad to do but the sub frame has to be removed which is a pain in the hole

The seats are differant dc5 has very high bolsters beside your legs the ep3 does not, im 6,2 15 stone and i find after about 1and half hours driving i get very unconfortable legs get painful but smaller people have no problem, just somthing to consider if your on the larger side :xlol:

I have to agree dc5 is not the best car for bishopscourt or any drag strip more about handling but if you want to do it on a buget nitros might be the way to go for the drag strip

Pre facelift

Prices vary for a second hand box and that could still have problems it may just need a clutch thats why gears are hard also it could just be the release bearing thats noisey and you get that with a new clutch kit. once its not crunching in any gears cause synchros are very expensive to replace

36mm as far as i remember

must be just worn then you will have to get them replaced
