New to this forum, I'm on itr-dc5 but thought I'd introduce myself here also, got an NHB DC5 and don't see many of them round here, see quite a few EP3's though wondering if there's any Cumbrian members here?

Hello and welcome to the forum mate
Nice DC5 and the location :)
Thanks mate,
Its a lovely place to live, when it's not raining... Which is all the time :)
Nice DC5 in black. Looks quite factory.
Yeah it's pretty much stock apart from dixcel discs and pads all round, and braided lines, it's got a stage 1 clutch but that's on its way out and is getting swapped for OEM next week along with a lightened flywheel.
It'll be staying fairly stock I think, may get a Teg M intake for a bit of noise, and if some mugen ss came up at the right price I may have to :) got some Team dynamics 1.2's that'll be going on it after a refurb also.

Aspatria mate not far from Carlisle give me a shout if ever fancy a meet up
Definitley mate, the 5 is a bit unwell with a slipping clutch at the moment so haven't been putting any miles on her recently, but as soon as thats sorted and bedded in, will looking for some meets, possibly JAE in September. Any good roads up by you? Heard the A686 is a good one to do from Penrith to Hexham so might give that a go!

Yeah some really good roads up that way will deffo have to organise something! Used to do a few runs out with some guys from Carlisle I'll give them a shout see if they will be up for some runs out.
 
The 5 is back to full health!

Got it down to Grinspeed last week for exedy oem clutch and mfactory flywheel. Really can't recommend the guys there enough, awesome job and didn't mind me hanging about asking questions.

The old flywheel was RPC and was apparently the main reason why the stage 1 Exedy clutch had only lasted 14k. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but stevie at grinspeed said that was probably the main reason for it not lasting too long?

I'll be heading out for a drive this weekend probably if anyone is up for it? :)
