I was checking your dc5 out at mims mate it was a lovely looking car 👌. I‘ve seen boosted tegs advertised anywhere from 13k to the 16k mark depending on mods and set up

I don't like it when turbo DC5's come up for sale. I'm always tempted to sell mine and buy.

Last time this happened, I sold my old one and the turbo dc5 guy changed his mind. I ended up buying something else and then the guy did end up selling it. New owner then wrote it off.

Let me know if interested but personally I‘d rather keep any Honda na even with a k24 as think FI is more for other brands. One thing I‘ve swore to do is keep my Honda‘s na (hard after some of the powerful machines I‘ve had) but they are rewarding in their own different ways whereas other cars need and rely on them out the box.

My mate use to have to turbo everything buts finally seen the light and gone k24 in his dc2

Also although a lot of work goes into turbo‘d Honda‘s I do think they are harder to sell than na ones as people always wonder how good the job is and how well it‘s been done etc

The more modified you go with anything the harder it is to sell :-( my GTi-R was a pig to sell with 400whp (uk built) but the R33 GTR with 1000bhp sold within two weeks as it had a fully documented Japanese build by Top Secret Japan
