Hello. I am new to this forum, but not new to the Honda Type R.
I see a lot of users on this site who I recognise, and hopefully a few of you will recognise me.
Better explain why I am here....
I have finally gone down the DC5 route, and bought a lovely example today. Just got the wait till next Friday when I pick it up.
No pics from the dealer today as the weather was rubbish, so the only pics I can show are the ones from Japan (which are not the best quality!).
The car no longer has the black front splitter, as I arranged for the OE splitter to be fitted.
Its a December 52 car, non-C pack and has a verified 22,000 miles. The whole car is in extremely good condition. No stone chips, alloys are unmarked etc.. The interior is incredible, factory fresh. Not a mark on the passenger and drivers Recaros, no signs of ANY wear.
And as for my earlier comment about changing to the softer DC5 from the DC2 Teg, thats not entirely true!
Car has some very nice parts fitted.
Genuine 17" Work Emotion alloys, with Advan AD07 tyres.
Bilstein coilovers
Aftermarket LSD (possibly Cusco).
RIGID front brace and wheel nuts
Uprated engine mounts (possible Mugen rubber mounts).
Not sure what model of Bilstein coilovers, and not sure on the LSD yet, but the details currently being investigated.
The drive as you can imagine is firm, yet suprisingly driveable, maybe even smoother than my DC2 Teg. The uprated engine mounts transfer a lot of vibration, and the LSD will take some getting used to, as it is very noticeable.
I will hopefully get more info soon, and better pics after I have picked it up next week.
Finally a big thumbs up to the guys at Torque GT who have supplied the car :thumb:
