DC2 DB8 DC5 10 Things You Didn't Know About The DC5 (Video)

Messages

Hey guys,

I'm Gabor from Car memes / carthrottle.com and I need your input once again! Last time you helped us with some Civic facts, and the filming went brilliantly, can't wait to show it! We are now doing a "10 Things You Did Not Know About The DC5" video on Friday and I'm looking for some Easter eggs to include. I thought the best thing to do is go directly to the owners, so here I am.

Our previous videos in this theme (so you get an idea):
10 Things You Didn't Know About The Honda S2000 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1yfFSX3nRU
10 Things You Didn't Know About The Rolls-Royce Ghost - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCD-AejZwQg

Any interesting facts or things that you'd like to see in the video?
 
Unless you got the C-pack (I believe), you didn't get a parcel shelf.

With the back seats down, it's big enough to sleep two in relative comfort in the back/boot (as demonstrated by two couples at JAE in bad weather last year).

Never released in the UK (*******s).

Came with Hydraulic Power Steering as opposed to the EP3's EPS (Sure about this this time).

Was treated to an LSD and Brembos direct from the factory.

Pre-facelift didn't have a factory fit immobilizer.
 
I thought parcel shelf was purely an optional extra? Expensive one at that.

Has some pretty good OEM bracing between front and rear seats (under the carpet)
 
Rear wiper, tints, folding Mirrors was the c-pack.

Parcel shelf and start button were both options.

Pre facelift was arctic blue, facelift was vivid blue pearl.

Was available in nighthawk black, Milano red, champ white, vogue silver and differing blues as above.

Red seats available in black, red, white and silver cars.

Blue seats available only in blue cars.

Black seats available in all.

Also available in Phoenix yellow in some countries.

Macpherson strut front suspension rather than double wishbone of dc2

Steering wheel made by momo
Seatbelts made by takata

Auto window up only on drivers door

Washer jets colour coded on facelift cars. Black on pre facelift.

Spacesaver wheel doesn't fit on front due to brembos

I'll think of some more
