Really need to get my bodywork touched up on my DC2.

Rear sills bubbling a tad, white dots all over spoiler, car park dings, bonnet stone chips

It soon mounts up on older cars if you don't keep on top of it.

^^ I bet. Aiming to give mine a clean at the weekend and properly look at what scratches and marks there are on the body with the idea of getting them repaired. Main one that I want fixed is where the rear bumper has some paint missing on the corner from presumably a carpark scrape in it's past.
MOT on Monday, so need to double check everything is working ok...!

Quick run on a private road;

VTEC with a turbo. There is a God.

That's insanely fast. 0-100 under 7 secs.

km/h dude, don't get too excited

Rybo89 · 15 May 2017 at 20:33

Slow then.

Disappointed now.

That sounds epic

Doing the majority of that the next few weeks to get her looking better from 5-10ft.

Then a full strip back to shell, rust sorting and respray in a year or 2, seeing as they are just going upwards in value.

You made it slower? It really seems not so quick and 0-60 in 6-7s is slower than a stock S2000, being a very long time since I owned mine but if memory serves me right it was a 5.5-6s 0-60 car?

the 2016 Type R is about 5.7 sec

It's the next NSX, CSL and GT3 RS rolled into one simple investment package.

Which is completely irrelevant because that is actually an S2000 as you can see from the video title not a Civic Type R

Stock is about 6 IIRC if you get the launch right.

Hard to tell from the speedo lag in the video. But looks like a non standard final drive and/or wheel/tyre size. Second gear is good for 66mph/106kph and video is topping out about 55mph/89kph. Third gear change for 60 is eating a large chunk of change out the 0-60 time.
