DC5 - Exhaust and pics

Bjorn · May 4, 2008

Had a Mugen Twinloop fitted a few weeks ago, so thought id post up a couple of photos and a video.

Went for the Mugen, due to the build quality and the fact its pretty quiet. Does make a nice tuned sound when pushing it though.

Im waiting on a GruppeM CAI which is being shipped in about 3 weeks, reckon the noise levels could increase once thats on - cant wait:evil:

Sound quality ainta all that.

Comments welcome.

Nice motor and nice choice of exhaust.

Christopher · May 4, 2008

I need to change pants.

Awesome car, amazing taste in mods too.

When you get the Gruppe M... post up some vids of it's Darth Vader impression, if you know what i'm on about.

Been looking at some Mugen products for my S2000, however they seem to be for people with too much money....lol!

As previously said, lovely car, cracking exhaust!!

Alan · May 5, 2008

Hmm bit 'tinny' IMO..

Adams_16v · May 5, 2008

fek everytime i see a DC5 im tempted to save up and swap mine for one...!

Bjorn · May 5, 2008

Few more pics

davesport172 · May 5, 2008

stunning stunning car.
why this wasn't an official import is beyond me. honda always keep the best ones for themselves!!!

Adams_16v · May 5, 2008

yeh that is very true, but.....it makes owning one in the UK that bit more special

davesport172 · May 5, 2008

yeah true, i think my next car will be back to a honda. probably an integra especially with the new tax laws!!

Im looking forward to test driving and possibly buying my DC5, the deciding factors being steering feel and whether or not it actually feels quick! (the ctr diddnt to me!)

The steering is amazing, so you wont be disappointed there.

60 onwards is where it feels quick to me, especially as its so light.

Lovely car! Would love one of these, doubt insurance is doable yet though

I'm really excited! loads of people on the DC5 forum have had evo's/scoobys etc and all ended up going back to the '5 - surely testimony to its greatness!

Have you personally driven a CTR? is the steering a world of difference away?

How hard is it to keep in V-tec?

i'm going to try and buy one thats already had a diff exhaust on it to save me the expense of putting one afterwards!

willcrook · May 5, 2008

oh and how good are the xenons?

That's the reason i'm waiting too!

My 182 - £613 F/C + £250 ecess
DC5 - £1445 F/C + £500 excess.

FAIL.

If i wait until i'm 25 next year, it'll be more in line with the 182.

Thats a lovely honda

R20 CWH · May 5, 2008

looks the part and not too loud

MaLicE · May 5, 2008

arghhhh start it up and rev the tits off it... u gotta hate your engine lol!

i dont get why people ask if its hard to keep a car in vtec... drive it like any car once you hit the vtec range its not like you have to keep begging it to stay there you change gear and its still in vtec... its really not hard to use or drive and people just get to wound up over it...

jonnyRT · May 5, 2008

Sorry ive wanted to post that for ages LOL

Gruppe M sounds amazing, 2 of my friends have them, one on a jdm ep3 and one a jrsc'd ep3.......awesome sounds!

DrR · May 5, 2008

i want one! Saw one at a local garage, they are so so sexy.

willcrook · May 5, 2008

for some reason none of my friends are into cars! hmm!

probably for the best as i'd want to be the w1nner

xxx <3 xxxx

It had been runing for at least 10 mins so oil temp was warm enough!

Been a member on ITR-DC5 for a while and yes seems quite a few have gone to a Scoob/Evo and then back.

Not driven a CTR so cant comment.

Mmmm, keeps the revs high and your laughing! Saying that it is quite hard to drive a DC5 fast, once your in Vtec your up the car infronts arse and you've gotta put the anchors on! On the open road though...............

Good luck on the test drive, you wont be disappointed.

Ali · May 6, 2008

Same zorst as stoddie! Nice and quiet even with Mani's and sports car.

Englebert · May 6, 2008

Looks ace, just a shame its not proper wheel drive.

leeds_182 · May 6, 2008

....? no steering feel?

Bjorn · May 8, 2008

Fiat Coupe Forum reviewed, read the replies?

I think the steering is amazing, drive one yourself and see.

As for the torque, yes, has very little but to compensate you have Vtec Yo!

willcrook · May 8, 2008

i've read em hehe,

my guess is that he's a s**t driver too

not arsed about torque either, my dream car would be a light motorbike engined lupo gti
