First thing, try not to mock my MS paint job, lol.

Wasup, well here's my DC5. Bit of info first.

51 Plate, 44,500 Miles. Imported in 2005. Ive had it since July. It's standard other than a Kakimoto Regu06 exhaust, (which is so brilliant, only hearing it in person does it any justice) a kenwood DD unit, and Tein springs, which iam swapping to Eibach's as the ride is too harsh at the mo. The car is in great nic for it's age. No kerbing at all on wheels, the front had a full respray before i got it, and new pads and discs all round.

Last month it was in my dads garage for a weekend, to touch up the engine bay and replace rusty bolts, etc.

Ive only got a few things to do before im 100% happy, i want to repaint the wiper arms as they look gash, and repaint the front brembo's when ive got the time, as ive got the kit to do em, and they look great when done.

Nothing else planned.......other than driving it, hehe. I love it. Revs to 8600rpm, the VTEC kicks in at 6000, and the band seems a lot wider and it pulls better than the CTR i had before.

Ill try and get a video up off the exhaust on full chat.:D

Opinions, etc most welcome. Waiting for Honda=No torque comments. :p

I love the look of these! Certainly a car that I would consider in the future.

Is that a red dial to the right of the steering wheel? Underneath the vent.

It's the 'Start' button :)

Looks very nice, I'm yet to have a go in one

Regarding the no torque.. my DC2 feels very sluggish with 3 passengers, so now I just tell people that the back seats are for kids only :D

Nice, is that a White New Z4 that your neighbour has?

Yeah, it's a new 10 Plate Z4, pretty sure by the sound of it, it's the 3.0 Twin Turbo, hehe.

Where you based Bledd? lol.

The LSD is pretty harsh on uneven roads.

Thats just the Engine Start button like bledd said.

It's a bitch to keep clean, gonna be tough in winter!
 
has anyone commented yet about his driveway being on a slope so with negative torque hell never be able to reverse off it again?
 
Hehe, yep, it's a shame Honda don't make anything decent anymore, other than the FN2.

The FD2 has stopped in Japan now. It's anoying because if you think what honda were making around 2000/2001:

DC2, then DC5
NSX
S2000 now they make none of those, or there replacements.:mad:
