Few pics of my DC5

[firthy22]

Decided to stop on my trip over the mountain so you sould see what the island looks like if you've never been here, just a pity there's a car blocking part of the view.

Engine bay cleaned, well sort off.

Rota centre caps became Honda centre caps

I know it's sad but matching valve caps

Swift ARB, LCA's and tie bar finally fitted

Very nice example, i see the TDi North sticker How much BHP are you running on that beast

 

[firthy22]

247bhp but had the 5Zigen intake fitted since the dyno so maybe nearer 250 now.

Very nice mate, like the MUGEN covering under the bonnet too!

Very nice man, what mods do you have under the bonnet to get such good figures

Nothing spcial just the usual, K100, RBC inlet manifold, Tegiwa header, Mugen air box and Twinloop exhaust. The 247 bhp was before the 5Zigen cold air intake was fitted and when he checked it on the dyno he had to increase the fuelling by 3% because it was drawing more air in so could be closer to 250bhp now but never got a figure from him as Tdi didn't charge me for tweaking it on the dyno the 2nd time so I didn't get a read out.

I'm just happy with the peformance of the car now, the midrange torque and Vtec at 4800rpm is so much better. Sort of blows the myth out of the water that the Mugen air box and exhaust are too restrictive though.
