    Anyone got my old DC5?

    Just wondering if its still going strong. WF52 FMD CW/red. Sold it in november to get into turbo land. Kept a lookout on the forum for new members with it and such but not seen it. Traded in down in Staffordshire and as far as I know it sold in less than a week.

    Bit of an odd question

    Hey all might be a daft question but does anyone know of any products for sticking a tax disc holder to the windscreen without going overkill and using superglue or something equally ridiculous? I've got a metal one with the forum name on it which was in the car when I bought it and its got...

    Driveshaft Advice

    Looking for a bit of help, had the car up on the ramps and my mate noticed that the driveshaft support bearing had a bit of play in it. Is this normal or should it be replaced? I should add that ive not noticed any change when driving the car no knocking or anything. Cheers.

    Metal fabrication Glasgow

    Does anyone know anywhere that would be able to make me a bracket to offset my number plate (similar to the Beatrush one) as I dont fancy drilling my bumper to mount anything to it. Not sure what something like this would even cost to do and I might actually be cheaper going for the Beatrush...

    Side Light bulbs

    Ive read that you need to remove the bumper to change HID bulbs but is it the same process to do the sidelights? Mine came today but it was dark by the time I got in to have a proper look at them.

    Part Name

    Anyone know the name of the horizontal piece of plastic that sits in front of the radiator? Searched for "grille" but it just comes up with the part above it with the honda badge on it. Went to fit the new numberplate with the offset bracket then realised im missing this part but I can see the...

    Mounting a front numberplate

    As above how do you mount them to just under the bumper (infront of the radiator) Is it altering the standard clips for the square plate or do you need new ones altogether? Got pulled for my sticky plate so just going to go with a normal rectangular one to save any hastle.

    Replacement side repeaters

    Does anyone know the part number for these? My passenger side ones clip has broken so just keeps on falling out the car, the only thing holding it on is the wire. Also does replacing the orange with clear ones make much difference to the cars appearance? Cheers in advance!

    Spare Key

    Hey done a search for this but just comes up with topics where "key" has been mentioned. Is honda the only place I would be able to pick up a blank key? Or would places like ebay or anything have them? (none on ebay atm)

    spec 3 vs pro spec

    Just recently picked up my DC5 and looking to buy a catback exhaust for it as its totally standard bar some lowering springs. I'm after something quite loud as I dont use the car everyday so no long journeys really. Had a look around and have been told the spec 3 is ridiculiously loud but how...
