I've now bought my 4th type r, a pre-facelift dc5 in championship white.

I'm loving it at the minute compared to the dull fn2.

Anyway it's a 2001 non c pack but has the start button and parcel shelf options (my preferred as I'm not keen on the rear wiper)

Needs a couple of little bits done but overall it's a very good clean example

Here's the bits that need sorting

Re-seal rear lights (leaking slightly)
Full detail
Remove rattly heat shield
Re-furb alloys
New exhaust (corroded)
New drivers seat bolster
Get the front lip painted
New rear brake pads (I already have discs)
Decent fast road pads for the front

Then I shall be just enjoying it over the summer

Just removed the inlet manifold cover and gave the engine bay a good scrub (was filthy lol)

I'll post pics tomorrow as I've got a lovely lamb dinner to eat lol
