Thankyou xthumbup

Damn I missed this! Do you think you might do another batch soon?

I do feel that getting the weight down on a dc5 is a priority as the performance is good just the car weighs a bit, at least compared to what I'm used to which is a CRX

Excellent info. Is this all weighed by yourself or taken from other websites? Have u got a running figure of weight saving, and a target in mind ?

I'm interested in getting one too. Is it going ahead?

They're good covers, i'm happy with my set.

On the motorway home after buying it I was cruising in 5th gear for about 20 miles before I realised I had another gear! I 'm used to driving a B18C so am somewhat used to driving with the revs high due to short gearing but I still didn't notice it for that long. I should add it is my first car...

Good tip regarding the angled screwdriver. Just bought the ebay one.

Also interested to know this as i need to do the same.

If you go for coilovers and lower it quite a bit you might need to change the tie rods for shorter ones, as I've found you run out of thread to adjust the toe and end up with the wheels toe'ing in. Negative camber increases toe in also. Hardrace do some shorter tie rods which I'm about to get to...

When I was looking for my DC5 I test drove an EP3 first, then an FN2, which I much preferred over the EP3. Handling felt tighter and the engine felt a bit more powerful. Then I test drove a DC5 and it is in a class above for sure. Get one you won't be disappointed over an EP3 or FN2, the price...

I want to wire in the folding mirrors to the alarm so they fold on arming and disarming, surely it wouldn't wear the motors out would it?

Ok thanks. Do you know where we can buy the Modulo set and how much it is? I might look into getting a load of the rings made up for anyone wanting some. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
