Driving a Ford Mondeo I suspect nothing loud and non OEM is going to be of your tastes.

The sounds just smacks of chavs/boy racers caining their small engine cars around, thats probably why it puts me off. The deeper roar of a bigger engined car just sounds better

K20'd EG6.

I wanted a K20'd EK, but i've been down the EK route.. had an MB6 VTi and an EP3..

and DC5's are too expensive still.

It sounds nothng like a boy racer car, with the stupid 5" drain pipe on the back, or those awful scooby's and evo's, they akll sound the same, with a horrible drone all the time, it's not a good noise, it's just loud.

This is a good noise. Sounds a bit like a motorbike, and it's only rated at 92dba, the stock system is 91dba.

Of course you have to rev it to get the best out of it, but it's by no means slow out of VTEC, fine for over-taking. Ive never understood why people hate VTEC so much, when you wanna have fun, you wanna nail the engine, keep it in the rev band, far more entertaining.

I do like ST220's though. If i still had the family it would be on my list lol.

Fonzee i assume by your sig you have a JDM DC2?

Only if delivering bread and the DC5 is in a ditch, on fire with no wheels.

Oh I thought they were 1.8L engines, didn't realise they were 2.0L

Ev0 · 26 Sep 2010 at 00:09

Always been tempted by one of these, maybe I'll get one when I replace the WRX...

Well my 1.8 would be faster than your 2.0

Engine size and power doesn't = faster.

Lovely car, wish I'd bought one when I had saved the money up for one 2 years ago but decided to be boring and save it towards a house deposit

If you had a JDM bread van then it would be about even.

I love the DC5, always wanted one.

Hahah not quite. To cut a long story short, my boys mum is a bitch, lol. I had a EP3 at the time.

Johnnytoxic said:

Not quite, but there's not much in it to be honest. The DC5 is a little quicker.

DC5- 1180KG- 217bhp
EP3- 1210ish -197bhp

It's not massive, it's more noticeable at higher speeds. It's more the looks and the handling. :cool:

Ill take some better pictures with my dads proper camera in the future, wanna get some in fog, fog looks ace lol.
