    DC5 Weight saving

    Cheers, I have been considering some fixed buckets and fixed rails to get the weight down, I think this is one of the biggest single areas of savings on the car. I will keep the original wheels and am considering remaking some steel stuff in alloy. Some ideas at the moment: Front engine mount...

    DC5 Weight saving

    Ok, so got my DC5 weighed on a weight bridge at the local scrappy (I imagine these are calibrated?) and the DC5 came in at 1140kg with half a tank of fuel. Items changed but otherwise stock: Odyssey PC680 Battery - works absolutely fine and you wouldnt be able to tell the difference over the...

    Original DC5 Calibration/Map

    Thanks for the replies. I literally did just that only a couple days ago, I only just heard TPS scaling and gave it a shot. you could rev the car to 1500rpm before the ECU registered any throttle plate movement, I scaled the TPS and it is now buttery smooth to drive at low speed part throttle.

    BOOST

    Have you considered a supercharger? Instant torque, far better modulation with the throttle, far far easier to install and less compromises to be made behind the engine, maintenance is also far lower than a turbo car as there is less to go wrong. If you get an eBay kit you are opening yourself...

    Original DC5 Calibration/Map

    Hi, Got my car running at last and unfortunately it still has the really irritating sensitive part throttle at low speeds! It will buck and is a complete PITA to drive in traffic. My previous one with the stock map was perfectly smooth and felt great to drive. Unfortunately I don't have the...

    DC5 Weight saving

    I haven't tried it yet, saying that I had an even smaller battery on my Supercharged K20 Prelude, and that did struggle a little bit on cold mornings. This battery being bigger, and with greater CCA's should be better. Yea, will do when I'm back in work. Let me know if you do take it out as...

    Insurance for those in their 30s

    Blimey, that's ridiculous! Sounds like just a way of getting rid of all policy holders who modify their cars, perhaps they don't like the admin of dealing with a non standard car! If that's the case I don't know why these companies don't just say so without coming up with a lame excuse, they end...
