My old car back on the market

merlin · 10 Jul 2009 at 15:32

I sold it to guy X who sold it to guy Y, who is in turn trying to sell it. Damn, seems no-one loves it!

Tbh it is a touch hardcore, possibly people are thinking yeah I can do this for a daily driver then the NVH is starting to kick in.

Your Impreza?

IS it for sale online, wouldn't mind seeing what it looked like.

merlin · 10 Jul 2009 at 15:35

Lol, my bad, your link didn't load.

And I saw your post in the Von's thread and thought you were talking about your Impreza.

merlin · 10 Jul 2009 at 15:37

Ah, right - that's cos my PC is cookied from the forum the pics are posted on.

Holdy on a mo.

Always loved your DC5, cracking car shame you sold it.

Dup · 10 Jul 2009 at 15:37

ITR DC5 is register only im afraid (so no hotlinking).

I'm assuming this is Pashat we're talking about here, in which case... LOL. Poor car, it just wants to be loved

Oh wait, need to learn to read. You have a DC5? Never seen it before.

merlin · 10 Jul 2009 at 15:40

Ok, piccy hosted and up.

antijoke · 10 Jul 2009 at 15:42

Woah, that thing is gorgeous. :eek:

Dup · 10 Jul 2009 at 15:47

Oooh, what did you have done to that then?

I see 2001 DC5s are tipping under 8/9k now. It's just a shame these cars are getting older and i'm getting poorer, would love one.

ScoobyDoo69 · 10 Jul 2009 at 15:47

Ah I remember this car. Got taken out for a spin in it during my lunch break one day

Suspension and geo work, black TD alloys, remap with vtec dropped to 4250 and limiter increased, £1400 of lightweight exhaust, £400 of induction, rigidity stuff, solid mounts.

Was fun.

Bet that gave some nice vibrations at idle

That's about the shopping list for my EP3 for when I can put aside for those things and not fix my broken house. Did you run it daily?

merlin · 10 Jul 2009 at 16:02

Yeah, and that was inevitably the reason why it had to go. I was doing business calls in it - which was fine when my annual mileage was 15k a year, but then I started to do over 2,000 miles a month. I just couldn't bear it any longer - very loud, very rough.

Jesus it was fun though when I was in the mood

Fantastic looking car, how much is it up for?

Unlight · 10 Jul 2009 at 16:35

Lovely looking DC5. Usually prefer them with white alloys, but that looks fantastic. How much is it going for do you know?

merlin · 10 Jul 2009 at 16:38

£11,500.

I spent about £3,000 on it and went only for top quality proven parts. The remap and 3 hours dyno tuning was £800 alone.

neil-ste · 10 Jul 2009 at 16:40

It's like the younger brother of mine, which goes to it's new owner in about half an hours time

Bad times.

Loved that car, I would so buy it if I had the means
