Not sure if anyone remembers me or my old DC5 on here, but i had a CW one which i modified quite a bit, plate was T9 TEG. I sold it when i first came over to Australia and since then ive had a string of fairly boring cars, Toyota Hilux, BMW 135i and a Mazda 3 SP23.
Well ive finally found a genuine JDM DC5 here in Aus. It was for sale in my local town which i put down as fate and had to buy it. Considering there are only a reputed 7 JDM DC5's in Australia i feel pretty lucky to have found one.
An irish fella relocated to Aus and his company offered to ship his car over, so thats its story.
The car itself looks pretty good from the outside, no Milao pink as it had a full respray 2 years ago. Its a 2002 and has done 109,000Km's. The wheels and calipers need refiurbing which im going to tackle soon, wheels are going ampasite and calipers either back to red or a goldish colour.The interior needs some tlc, new bolsters, stereo sorting out, a new steering wheel would be nice but its generally okay. The power steering needs looking at, so ill sort that at some point, and the engine bay neeeds tidying up (rocker cover refurb).
So far ive cleaned the interior, where i found $9!, and been enjoying the vtec. I want to get it to the standard of my old integra, probably wont modify it that much as parts are hard to come by and very expensive. Plus it was hard parting with alot more for this than i paid for my old one back in 2007.
Anyway, some crappy tablet photos.
