Newbish owner from West London

[bud]

Hello all


Been on ITR-DC5.com for a while now but never said hello. Probably will know %50 of you guys on here from CTRO and TRO but ill introduce myself anyways

I'm Dan and have recently picked up a lovely DC5 which i am very happy with. This is my 3rd K20 equpied car so certianly no stranger of the way these engines work and the potential

Car is on 118,000 miles but feels tighter than all my pervious car i have owned. VTEC still pulls strong and the handling compared to my EP3 is far superior

Car has full service history and including Japanse, even the original invoice from when it was bought in Japan and invoice from when it was bought in england for £14,000 back in 2005. All serivce work done at Honda . Its even has all the japanese manuals plus endless certificates, import grade, BITMA mileage etc

The colour is very nice although some consider it very un type r like, i was one of them. It grew on me though and when i saw one in the flesh i knew i wanted one

I like the look of yours, ill have a quick read through your thread

WTTC buddy and blue is the best colour mate, although I like the black interior in mines. :xyes:

That would look very nice, do you have black wheels? I recently saw a Artic blue ITR with Red recaros in, actually looked fantastic

Im near heathrow airport, uxbridge, ruislip way. Anywhere near you?

No plans yet. I had a 240 bhp Ep3 before and a 321 bhp turo'd civic. I think i am going to chillout this time. I may look into getting a FRSU done along with some decent coilovers but nothing just yet. Also looking to ditch the yoko PS2's for some AD08's

Welcome Dan, looks like a nice example you picked up

Thanks Blueguy

Was very impressed with its when i drove it home from Northampton, nice roads on the way back

 

[dotty]

Welcome

 

[bud]

Thanks dotty

Forgot to mention also the car has a Mugen twin loop exhaust from when it was imported, even have the manual for it in the history folder.

Would like to swap it though as its a bit quiet for my liking but maybe combining it with a racer header might give me the tone i want :xking:

Yep that's the one, people are actually told not to go in there and keep to the best buy car park but not everyone listens lol

Should pop in to some meets, get a huge variety of cars attending, just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I haven't been in quite some months as I sold my civic.
