GOD DAMN IT! They weren't there a week or so ago in that profile when I was looking for new tyres. I hung on for ages as well... as long as I legally and safely could!!! ;-p

Are the Asymmetrics available in 215/45/17 yet though? Could only find them in 225/45/17 which are not a great profile for the DC5, due to tram-lining. Ended up going for a set of 215/45/17 Falken FK452's... and am well chuffed with them. Great tyres. Asymmetrics will be my next set for sure...

Thanks mate. Appreciate that. Will let you know how I get on. Rang Tokyo Express... I would be looking at around £380 for ONE SSR 17" alloy wheel on it's own. OUCH! So may have to go down the repair route.

Bladdy Hell... that was quick mate! Magic! Any ideas about alloy wheel repair? Getting rid of a mild rim lip buckle?

Hi Guys!!! I have a set of Bronze SSR alloy wheels on my DC5 already in 17". All are in mint condition... apart from one of them has developed a slight buckle on the outer rim lip. I thought about having it repaired... but not too sure where and how quick I can have this done... So I think a...

I have Tein Flex coilovers on mine mate. I really like them. They are quite harsh and stiff... but I am used to them now and wouldn't revert back to standard dampers again!

I hope the guy coming for your car isn't actually paying with a cheque - as you stated in your initial post on this thread... if he is then you are braver than I am!

Hmmm. You NORMALLY have to send them off to the manufacturer to have this done... this is what you have to do with the Tein equivalents I believe.

Ahh. I can't give a good opinion on those ones mate as I have never used them before. I have used the HKS Hyper-D coilovers in the past on an RX7 I used to own. They were very well made. Quite a good ride (not soft, but not as hard as Tein). Seemed to be easy to work with, maintain and were...

What model of HKS coilovers are they mate?

Other filters such as fuel, pollen, etc... I would just use Honda OEM. I would also recommend using Spoon (or another brand) magnetic sump plugs (engine and transmission). And always use a high quality transmission oil. Gets rid of the notorious DC5 gearbox clunky and awkward changing -...

Hi mate. I always use HAMP engine oil filters. Millers oils and HKS spark plugs for the DC5. The HKS spark plugs have a very long service time interval and also help with engine performance. I get almost all of my parts off of eBay.

I have the same god damned metallic rattle. Sounds kind of tinny/metallic and seems as though it has got to be behind the dash somewhere. Wrecks my head! My K-Pro VTEC cross over point is 5000rpm... and it really kicks in around 5500rpm. This rattle only occurs bang on and around 5000rpm mark...

To be honest... when combining any CAT back with the OEM 4-2 and OEM 2-1 CAT sections... the noise and droning levels won't be too bad. When combining the chosen exhaust with an aftermarket 4-2, 2-1 or 4-1 exhaust manifold sections is when the noise levels of the exhausts are really given to...

Mugen twin loop cat-back is nice and probably fits your requirements in terms of noise. Can normally pick them up on here second hand.
