Some people shouldn't be allowed to by cars.

Wonder if the spec is genuine. Exterior....modifications, seem to be somewhat different from the claimed parts hiding underneath.

Ah its resurfaced!

Pretty special dc5, Ive never found anything more on those front fenders. I think they look awesome.

Original Japan Spec: http://www.japanerimport.dk/Bil.aspx?BilId=340

Since JM imports tinkered with it:

Food for thought but if the engine is seeker tuned, it's likely a K-tech tuned motor..

I think it's in need of changes back to look right, the only front fenders I've seen before with similar design and shape were/are the Spoon S2000 ones.

Not my cup of tea but I think it could look good if the rear / sides were widened also

This DC5 has been doing the rounds for years, Last time I saw it for sale was about 2-3years ago.

Never knew if was a seeker tuned engine though, or what it originally looked like, Looks so much better in bronze.

Always had a bit of a soft spot for it though, it's so OTT it kind of works, haha.

This car was used around ebisu circuit and was / is a very serious car.

Just a shame JM painted it transit white and slapped some team dynamics on it.

Not sure the script with the engine as last I saw of it it was being sold as a rolling shell

Yeah looks much better in the link there but the back still needs something to look right with the front fenders imo

It's a weapon, it's not supposed to be 'pretty'. The front wings (not fenders) will help in with reducing lift/creating downforce over the front axle, and allow much wider tyres to be used. Both of those things are important if you want to be fast on circuit.

It wasn't built for show and shine events, it was built in line with why Honda created the itr in the first place.. So there. :p
