My new DC5 R

Hi chaps, well after 5 years of owning two dc2's, one being a White UKDM, the other a black 98 spec JDM, which I still have at the moment, until someone takes her off my hands... I have plumped for a DC5! I needed a better daily driver which was still great fun with the vtec. I'm very pleased with the DC5, great car. Here are some pics below. Hope you all like :)

The car is 100% standard, so a clean slate for the mods thar I want to do in time. Plans are:
- lower the car on eibach springs
- exhaust system either fujitsubo RM01A or DC sports
- Spray the wheels in graphite grey
- custom spooner productions rocker cover to come, wrinkle black with red lettering.
- AEM V2 induction kit or gruppe M if I decide to splash the cash.
So far I'm impressed with the 5, its a much better daily driver than the DC2, the gearbox is superb, lovely and smooth with that mechanical feel under your hand. Turning circle is much better, but I will say the brakes despite being brembos, lack feel. Where as the dc2 brakes are very touchy feely which I prefer. Nothing I won't get used to! The vtec is very smooth, not as exciting on the change over compared to the dc2, but once I get an exhaust system that will all change 8)

Thanks for reading guys, Paul.
 
How do you find the handling compared to the DC2?

Congrats on your purchase, Paul.

I haven't had a chance to really throw it into a few corners yet, but from the driving I've done so far, handling is excellent, I'd say pretty much on par with the dc2, if a little boaty as it's on standard suspension. It's going to TGM tomorrow for Tom to have a good look over it :)
 
Well I picked the car up tonight, it has the gannon seal of approval 8) Had the gearbox oil changed as well for Justin (justincase) ;) :lol:
