After many months of waiting, I picked up my freshly imported DC5 yesterday. It's been well worth the wait - condition of the underside is astounding. Loving it so far. :cool:

A few Tim will appreciate.

Please excuse me, i appear to have a semi.

That looks immaculate under the bonnet.. :eek:

bledd · 9 Apr 2014 at 14:19

Looks awesome

££?? Who did you buy it through?

Don't think I've seen a black EK9 before either.. typically always white

The car was supplied by JM Imports. You're looking at £8k for a pre-facelift, facelifts tend to come in around the £12-14k mark IIRC.

There are some tidy examples already for sale in the UK, but it seemed no more expensive to get a fresh import really. I wanted one that was tidy underneath too and this one looks like it's never seen a drop of rain.

The EK9 is a credit to the owner - condition is easily as good as mine. Amazing for its age.

Looks great. £8k is a lot for a 12 year old car though

There's a red JDM EP3 on ctr forum for £3800. Same engine/LSD gearbox.

I sold my mint, low mileage DC5 for £6.5k last year

Why did you get rid of it? What replaced it?

Is that the pre-facelift one which was in scotland? Guy got it from bedford IIRC, as it was quite cheap, don't think they knew it was a JDM.

Hi Tim

Kind of glad the DC2 is only worth about 2-4k now, makes it pointless to sell it to recover any cash

Yeah it's in Scotland. What's your source on them not knowing it was a JDM import? The guy selling it definitely knows.

loltim · 10 Apr 2014 at 18:06

guys. 52 plate 112k miles with a 40k mile old clutch or 51 plate 84k mile on original clutch?

Body work is good on both. Thoughts?
