Small Update! Apologies in advance for the first 3 photo's, they were taken using my iPhone.
Having a shiny steering wheel was really starting to bug me and after reading a thread over on ITR-DC5.com with a chap using "magic sponges" he'd ordered from Ebay to sort his steering wheel out, i...

I'm not pussy Chris, i just prefer to live my life a 1/4 mile at a time!
Yeah it's a K-Series VTEC unit. The DC5 looks very similar to European Civic Type R's engine wise but does have a few fundamental differences. The box for example has different gear ratios and VTEC engagement and rpm limit are different.
