Woody's DC5 Progress *Pic heavy*

[-Woody-]

Thought id put some progress up as ive not updated on here. Had the car just over a year now.

Some details from when i brought it...

Imported July 2009 - Brought by me May 2010
Championship White
59000 miles
B-Pack
Completely Standard but still consists of the usual goodies:
Type R Bodykit
Brembo Brakes All Round
Recaro Bucket Seats
Red Trim
Momo Steering Wheel
Wind Deflecters
HID Lights

First thing to sort was the discs as the rears had warped so took the opportunity to get some grooved Apexi Discs and some Mintex Pads. Also got a buddy club cap.

Then changed the wipers with some Aero Wipers & got some Engine Mounts - not fitted the engine mounts though, didnt realise how much work was involved

Got myself a Buddy Club Pro Spec exhaust. Nice and loud 69mm piping The sound on it is unbelievable, nice deep tone although almost to loud! :twisted:

Changed the sidelights and Number plate light
Comparison(old ones on the left!(obv)

Suits my annoyingly bright main lights :lol:

No. plate Before

After

Decided to De-badge. They can always be put back on, gives it alot cleaner look.

Before

The Result

The GOW sticker has now come off though.

Seat Covers - Nobody likes them but i think they are great :lol:

Meshed the grill. This has saved my rad a few times now!

Had my MOT, all good

Sticky Plate

Before - Real crap number plate

After

Custom Battery bar/Tie added

Tints - Had these done but not happy with the outcome. Told them to use Limo black :x

Put some socks on!

Fitted a earthing kit(Thanks LeeH ) , quite a good bit of kit, more bay bling more than anything. Has stopped me getting eletric shockc when i get out the car so cant complain really. Also fitted a 6K HID Kit also supplied via LeeH, no pics though.

Service time - Drop in Do-Luck Filter, Pro S Oil and filter and NGK plugs

Removed the rear fog light, some pics taken a while ago:

Most recent update...

Got some Eibach springs fitted that give a modest drop of 35mm back and 25mm front. Perfect ride hide imo, doesnt scrape on speed bumps and no rubbing this is how they should have been from factory. The ride is no harsher than OEM and it now handles even better. The arches kinda hide the wheels a little now so think i need some 18s...

Springs still settling so may drop a little more...

Next on the list for this year:

• Front Bumper(Spray or replace)
• Alloys - Looking at some 18s in CW
• Refurb Calipers
• Camber Bolts/Arms(FRSU)
• RRC Manifold
• Induction Kit, possibly Tegiwa 'M'

Some updates

Had the car dyno'd. Running on ultimate so not the best of fuels but very happy with 201 no engine mods(only exhaust and hondata airbox mod).

Got some FN2 alloys. With the small drop, imo this is how the DC5 should have been OEM.

A weee close to the calipers lol Will get some spacers but had no issues so far even with some enthusiastic driving.

 

[brad_itr]

good work

Looks loads better on the FN2 alloys.

 

[SicklyPilot]

It's not bad but I think I prefer OEM wheels chum

 

[NYA]

Liking the rims, think they give it a little more style, need to space them though if they hit your callipers you're going be in some sh@t. Other than that, i'm bloody Jealous :lol:

 

[C4Doc]

looks good mate, maybe a different colour to the wheels to break it up a little would be my only suggestion.

I like those FN2 wheels on the DC5 a lot. 8)
