Then sold my EP3 at the end of August to buy a charged/turbo'd EP3 or a DC5. Initially wanted a boosted ep, but couldn't find any decent ones up for sale so decided to buy a cheap EP3 and turn it into a track slag. Then decided I wanted a DC5. Then decided I wanted a Premier EP3. Until my mate Kieran bought a DC5 and took me out in it, I was blown away! Less than a week later I end up with this

Rascal's Monster Unit DC5!


Set off at 7:45am for Glasgow and got her home at 10pm!


Spec:


Although it's had it's rear wiper removed, I've found out it's a C-Pack. Has tinted rear glass & powerfolding mirrors.

Car is absolutely fúcking awesome. Cant believe I didn't buy a DC5 before. Think I found a bargain too. Cannot fault the car at all.


Soon as I got home I gave my pal Kieran a ring and we had an awesome little blast

Even though i'm skint now, roll on the modding!

Is it really that much better than an EP3? Same engine and all.

Looks the bomb though mate. The JDM Civic looks great too.

If you have to ask the question then you'll never understand but I'll try to explain.

Go Tesco and buy Tesco brand coco pops, then buy the real thing. That's the difference.

It is not the same engine, there are a number of differences, and the car is an allround superior package.

My old one was Silver I am offended that you didn't mention that colour.

Also Red with white wheels looks Hot.

Cheers for the comments guys.

It is definitely an improvement over the EP3. Everything about it. Power is noticeable, the looks, the LSD which makes the handling superb! the recaros...

Spent a few pennies:

Private plate ordered to hide age of car
Sticky front plate ordered
Rear plate ordered
Booked in @ Grinspeed on the 4th of December for FRSU and general check over.

Next months wage (which hasn't even come yet) is getting owned.

Red H's arrived from eBay, I had 3 on just needed one to complete the set so I stuck this on.

Gave the car a quick wash. Didn't have time to seal it but the paint is already protected.

Washed with Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo & Meguiars Microfiber Wash Mitt (2 bucket method). Tyres dressed with Meguiars Endurance Tyre Gel.
