So the brakes on my car are pretty much shot, my drivers side rear calliper is sticking and the discs and pads are near the end of their life. To replace them I've gone with mtec dimpled and grooved discs, ds2500 front pads and oem rear pads, I know the rear pads will wear down pretty fast...

Little update as I havnt posted on here in a while. Picked up a tegiwa engine damper and brake stopper that I'll be fitting today. Then new discs, pads, braided hoses, ate super blue fluid and a new rear calipers. Also picked up another set of rota Slipstreems in white with a set of toyo...

Thanks guys, the paintworks looking a lot better than it did when I got it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So today involved a very deep clean of the teg Again. The second time I've detailed it but this time a machine polisher was involved and there was 2 of us at it. Having 2 people doing the car makes things to much quicker! So the car was snow foamed, washed, clayed, de tarred, machine...

So some goodies have arrived over the last few days/weeks so i think I need to do an update. First thing to arrive were climair wind deflectors via the group buy [emoji1303]. I ordered dark tint so had to wait a little while for them, easy enough to fit and my windows are still operating...

How do you find the brake set up mate? I need to do mine but there's a lot of choice out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, there 17x7.5 ET 45. I think I'm going to get them painted white when it's time for new tyres. As for the induction i don't really have anything to compare it with, it sounds good and it's different but the replacement air filter elements are around £120 and you can only get them from...

Yeah white is a nightmare, I've had to clean it every weekend since I bought it [emoji23]. Yours is lovely, CW and Night hawk black are the best 2 colours for a dc5 [emoji6]. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks mate, as is yours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Brakes all round are next and I'm hoping to pick up a carbon fibre bonnet this week all being well. Then it's tyres and I think I'm going to refresh some of the suspension bushes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's coming together slowly mate, still a few more things to sort out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seemed like a good buy mate. Awesome, I'm hoping to track mine too this year, the baffled sump did cross my mind but I know a few who have done the Nurburgring etc without one. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's so easy to do mate and rewarding, took me about 10-15 minutes to do both lights. I'll go and grab some pictures when it's dark, hopefully the light projection will be much clearer now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Decided to tackle the headlights today as they really had seen better days, very cloudy and weathered. Before, I did it in 2 stages, first with a hard cutting pad, and then a soft finishing pad. Using meguiars ultimate compound to buff them. The finished product, Just a shame...

I saw this on the dc5 forum, you sure snapped that up quick mate haha! Looks a nice bit of kit though very rare too! How's the car treating you? Any more plans for the future? I've got a twin loop on mine, cracking sound, nice and refined when your pottering around but has a lovely tone when...

Thanks mate, I corrected the paintwork a few weeks ago, part of this included claying it. When I'd done the paintwork was so much smoother and free of contaminants. I'll hopefully da it in a few weeks when the sun arrives. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks mate, yeah I think you do, how's the new ep3? Does it feel much different to your pre face lift? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh yeah, there's no doubt that the worn engine mount would have caused strain on the exhaust, however, the exhaust had previously been welded. Also, I believe the exhaust cracked as it was cooling down, as it was fine when I turned the car off, then blowing when I next started it up. I've been...

Hi all, little update for you. Having spoken to Stevie at grinspeed and getting advice off a few other people I had spoke to, I decided to get the car booked in for a new clutch on the 8th of March. I left the car with my dad and he kindly took the car to them for me. While the car was there...

Nice dc5 [emoji1303], looks lovely in blue, I have a championship white dc5 myself. What other plans have you got for it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lovely FD2 mate, M5 looked nice too!

Evening everyone, little update. Had a decent day weather wise today so I decided I would give the car a good going over. When I bought it, I really was shocked by the condition of the paintwork. The car was covered in iron deposits and tar and the paintwork was championship cream rather than...

Took a trip to Grinspeed to see Stevie today. He was extremely helpful, took my car for a test drive and diagnosed the problem, new clutch needed. A little disappointing considering Ive only had the car 6 days, but at least I know it should be good after that. Will be booking it in on Monday...

Its definitely an addictive sound :lol:

Little update. After having the car 2 days, ive noticed the clutch release bearing seems to be rumbling slighty, goes away when the clutch is pressed in. The car is also hard to get in to gear at higher rpm/vtec. Hoping a new clutch will sort it and its not a major gearbox issues. Selects all...

I did indeed! 300+ mile round trip but it was worth it.

Hi everyone. Just picked up my first type r today so thought id start up a build thread and update the progress as i go along! The car is a 2001 (51) championship white DC5, its my first Honda and so far im loving it! The modifications so far include: Mugen Twinloop Cat back Rota Slipstreems...

Depends who your insured with, if your with a specialist like Adrian flux etc, they will have a better chance of understanding of what a fast road set up is.

Liking the colour of those wheels mate! Bold decision going for the colour but i think youve pulled them off on a cosmic. Looks good on track too :)
