Nice car. Are you on HJC yet? http://www.hampshirejapcars.co.uk We need more DC5's

All modern cars seem quite dull to me really. Evo's, Imprezas, GTR's and all the german high performance cars. They are all electronicly nannyed and take control and therefore satisfaction from the driver. I watched 5th gear last night and they had the Audi rs5, I thought theyre goes another...

Handling and grip are totaly different things, i have 18's atm and i cant get on with them.

:xcheers: thats the spirit :D

Its a security torx bit mate, you can just grab them with a small electrical screwdriver wedged in the side.

Not sure your on the right forum mate. [-X Wish list: lighter, faster meaner and definately no hybrid junk!

A dc5 with sensible mods is more than a match for grin factor than a 400hp s14 imo. The best thing is you can use its full potential without turning all the oily bits into iron filings.

The seats are a pain but yours don't look too bad, in fact the whole car looks tip top. The stock suspension can be a bit wayward on long fast corners even with the slightest hint of lift off so eibach springs and a good setup makes a lot of sense. Good effort =D> =D>

I'm sure you won't be disapointed. Welcome to the club! =D> =D> Start saving for the fast road setup and induction kit :D

Thats bad news, i think a lot of its down to the looks of your car and the way it rides the roads. Unfortunately the police are not always (never) experts and an advanced driving/pursuit training coarse shouldn't give them the power to judge, imo. I understand that they're job is very difficult...

I have the same problem, i think its a resistance issue possibly because the window isnt set in the rail or its going up unevenly. i was gong to remove the door card this weekend but if anyone else knows of this issue i would apreciate some advice.

Sorry Bruce, i'm not into green :green: They are 18's btw.

White on white.

Did you not regret it the first time then :-k

I would say you cant go far wrong with a good induction kit, then a manifold (uprated engine mounts required at this point) and exhaust, Which exhaust to go for will depend entirely on your hearing and how much you like your nieghbours. The fast road setup will make the car more stable and...

Ds2500 mate, every time. They are really good all round pads, i have never had many dealings with mintex on a dc5 (nobody i've heard of uses them). I'm sure lots will recomend the former. I did use mintex once on my, cough, mx5 but could not tell the difference over stock and suffered equally...

Everyday ownership with regards to running costs are about the same, although the insurance is cheaper. The engine is amazing but the steering feels a bit numb and that ruined the driving experience for me. The early cars were a bit tail happy but thats not aways a bad thing if you know what...

Yes buddy i bought that dc5 you were interested in in N. Ireland. Ross is helping Luke with a 380+hp s13 atm. I'm going down to see it the weekend after next i hope. When i'm over Ross's i'll get him to give you a shout. :xcheers: Sounds like your going about the tuning in the right way. The...

Bruce, What the hell are you doing down this kneck of the woods. Have you fitted yur RBC yet? danr19, I hav'nt seen your car around yet. How long have you had it?, The photos were taken at the new forrest hotel (good spot). I'm up for a meet. Have you signed up to the hjc yet...

The uprated engine mounts and Torque dampers are designed to reduce the rocking of the engine in the engine bay which also reduces wheel hop under hard acceleration. Most people either fit a damper or mounts if they have an uprated exhaust manifold which may fracture with engine movement. The...
