Projectdc5.com - Building a DC5 Track Car @ Showoff Imports

A long time ago I already introduced myself here. Bought the DC5 about 5 years ago and now it is time to take the car to a whole new level.
It was the first DC5 in the Netherlands and now it will be the first one built for trackuse overhere.

I will update the project on this forum as well, hope that it interests people.

You can find all info and updates on the website we launched for it:
PROJECTDC5.COM (link to the website)

This is how the car WAS untill last week, we already used it for time attack but it has to go to a completely different level now with a FULL REBUILD!



Right now we are taking everything out of the car, stripping it completely, which is quite some work te begin with.



Updates will follow soon,
Enjoy and any comment if welcome!

Gr Ronald!

It is a Megan Racing set currently and have very good experiences with it on several cars. But it is a streetkit so still not sure if it will return. Maybe it will be replaced with a twin damper model with external reservoirs.

And the last one for today, completely up to date now:
Due to the summer season with all the meetings and stuff we didn‘t had much chance to make progress on the car. We are getting there but sometimes it goes slow.

CUT SOME METAL!!!!

So... last night we cutted the fenders ;)

And we cutted some parts of the underbody ;)








Welding some parts back together, including the fenders:

See http://www.projectdc5.com > updated again.

Wide body

To make the DC5 more like a proper race-car we chose to change the entire look with a wide-body-kit. People have to notice some serious work is being done to our project. Since there are only a few wide-bodies for the DC5 we had little to choose from. We think the current one is the best looking one. It really was a pain to get it on the car. And for now it‘s only on, the painter has a lot of work coming his way!

Black Gold - Weight Loss

It was obvious that there would be al lot of “black gold” on our race car. Showoff Imports is the biggest European dealer of Seibon carbon therefore of course some nice products to show our customers. The hood already was carbon fibre but it was painted, we chose a new one. To save some weight on the back end the trunk should be replaced, carbon, what else! Probably the top peace of our carbon mania, the doors. They look great in real life, you have to trust me on that. Hard to capture on a photo but we sure tried.

Glass is also very heavy on a car, we replaced all the windows, except the front one (for now), with polycarbonate ones. They are made beautifully, just like the oem windows, just a hell of a lot lighter!

The car has been some weeks at the paintshop, since we were away (visited SEMA in the mean time) the painter had time to finish his work to our car!

The result so far:
