Thinking of selling up, will I regret it?

[RE Spirit]

im paying 1k for the dc5 with flux

I'm surprised you got insurance being under 25 for that price too.

I'm 25 and have 7 years NCB - still paying 1.2k with Sky

Do you live in Walton? I used to see a DC5 flying around with black wheels, it could be you?

Nah I don't live down there. The wee dude I got it from stayed down there. It prob was it cus it has black wheels and from the amount of tread used between first view and pick up, I believe "flying around" would probably quite apt

If you do regret it, you can always buy another Integra?

 

[dc5ian]

Getting another Teg Mark?

Don't do it mate. I was talked out of selling mine by the great members on here. A 350z won't be as good as a dc5. My cousin had one and I wasn't that impressed.

I have had my teg since I've been 21 and never paid 1200. Now 25 and paying £300

:shock: where are you based jambo? lol

I'm thinking about getting a FD2 but part of me wants to import a fresh DC5 and then mod it.

It's a car set up for the UK public, it's very smooth and nice. No noise from the exhausts and a comfortable place to be. You put your foot down and it doesn't feel like you're going fast until you look at the speedo.

I don't like it for those reasons, it's turned too German for my liking.

The DC5 may be slower but it never felt it, every journey put a smile on my face, the X doesn't. It feels like driving a Mondeo when you're stuck in traffic and just cruising.

I know most people hate noisy and harsh cars but I love them :lol:

I thought the Nissan 350z had the chassis from a Chrysler Crossfire and the engine from a Renault?! And a gearbox from something else?!?!

Nice looking car I will agree but I don't think I could ever buy one. And that drop top version. Screams out girls/hairdressers car!!

It's like a car version of Nicki Minaj

How is your insurance so cheap? I have never managed to get it cheaper than the low £500's.

You have all convinced me that I should keep my DC5. So I'm going to try and rejuvenate the car. I think i'm gonna replace same bits that are looking a bit tired. It's only done 60k too so there's some life left in it yet for sure! Owned it for the last 5 years and will probably own it for the next 5!

I got an insurance quote of £800 on a Lexus IS-F (5.0V8 with >400bhp, and RWD), on the Integra nearly double that and I'm fairly certain I'd have to be sporting a turbo/sc to keep up with a committed IS-F along with the associated risks of RWD (although I'm close to DK levels)!

 

[_BILLY_EK9_]

has the op been on track with his dc5 ? if not he will want to keep it then

:shock: where are you based jambo? lol

I'm based in Norfolk which helps. Is a good postcode.

Don't know done a renewal this year with sainsbury and it come out at the the above. Cant get a car that does what the teg does for the money it costs me.

Glad to hear your keeping it. What plans you got for it to freshen it up?

 

[redcap]

Might sound like a dumb comment but are you sure it's insuring you as a 2.0 DC5 not a 1.8 DC2?

I came to the same conclusion, for what it costs to own/run there is nothing that compares.

I am planning to tidy it up by replacing or vinyl wrapping components that are tired or worn like trim and may be get some new headlights as they are cloudy.

Lol, fair enough, iv always wanted an evo i think its a car you have to own at somepoint. I felt the same way about a three series i recently drove, fast but very boring thought the tiptronic auto was awesome though. Tiona says your after a facelift, there is one in torque gt atm.
