Noticed in a thread earlier someone saying they were going... Any DC5s making the trip ?

Mate gave me a copy of an old Evo mag (sep 06, shoot out of the best FWD car ever, 15 cars, won by UK-DC2). Interesting read, particularly as (like many of you) I came into DC5 ownership having first owned a DC2 , flogged it and realized nothing else made me happy... Anyway. I have found the...

Friends came round, hadnt seen DC5 yet. Mate- "Wow cool." Mates wife - "Ooh is that your new car ? It looks like a Peugeot !" WHAT ????? :shock: I mean, I am a petrol head, but I really struggle to see anything on the DC5 that gives it a flimsy-gallic-rubbish look ! Girls eh ? (joking ...

Seems reasonable... DC2 used to get ~32 on the commute, and this is heavier and bigger engine. 30.6 seems about what I was hoping for. Certainly better than my RX8 that struggled to better 20mpg ! ! (and *much* better than the Charger ! ! ) Still loving it :)

Need to remove the seatbelt anchor to rotate it (belt is twisted). There is a plastic cover over the top. Do these just pop off ? Dont want to break it. Also, torgue settings for seatbelt bolt to refit... Any info gratefully received - Morgan.

Well, picked her up at last. As everyone says, the 200bhpcars experience was wonderful, much obliged to Andy and Danielle - car is in wonderful condition and exactly as described. Could not be happier. So. The car... Its bumpy. Its noisy. The rear vis is awful. The gearbox ratios are...

Just had an irritating call. Integra in country, Andy doing the business. Had a quote from my existing insurers for £705. Seemed OK. Phoned up to take it and they have changed their mind, dont do imports anymore. So now I'm on the ring round :roll: I hate insurance companies...

Where is the rev limiter on DC5s ? My DC2 used to be ~9,100. I know the DC5 is not quite as frantic, and just curious recently... My actual question I suppose is 'what the optimum change point when accelerating like a loon' ? (Which was about 8,600 I suppose in the DC2) ta !

Now that my DC5 is on the way, just getting curious about some details. 6th gear for instance. When I had my DC2 the gearing was really low - always felt it could really use a 6th gear. DC5 obviously has a 6th gear, but I have a feeling it may be just as daft as the DC2 was ! So, in simple...

I am assuming by the titles on the forum that the 360 is the console of choice around here rather than the PS3 ....?

Well, Andy has sourced my DC5 - and she is a stunner. Happy man indeed. She does however need new shoes. Now, I dont really care ref ultimate grip, super-sticky-slicks etc as I do a large amount of miles and durability is important. My DC2 used to have RE010s on it, these lasted ~15-20K...

Quickie - Done a search, and there seem to be a couple of opinions. Q - Do DC5s come with xenons/HiDs as standard or is it a rare option ? Q2 - Someone on a prev post said they have to be removed for the SVA test. Why ? HiDs are OK in this country, and the car is right hand drive. So what...

Quick questions - a) Is Gruppe M simply a filter/box change ? b) Does it actually go quicker or just louder ? c) How much is it ? d) On its own does it improve anything (or are further mods needed, in which case I'm not interested) ? I am well aware of the likely noise - the DC2 had a...

Quickie question - Searched, but cannot find answer... Is climate standard on all DC5s ? Do any have just air instead? Any come with neither ? Lots of ads seem to mention climate, but dont know if this is just ad-talk and all of them have it anyway. ta !

Assuming its 'Comfort' or 'Climate' or something ? Can anyone enlighten me as to exactly what this is ? Off to search the FAQs.... ! ta

Just a quick hello... Considering a DC5 and just doing my homework. Stumbled across this site and have been searching prev posts and reading rabid reviews :) I had a DC2 (bought new in 99) - kept it 4.5 years , did 95,000miles and it never (and I mean NEVER) missed a beat. Track days...
