JDM Y0 - Part 2! New Project - DC5 content :)



Lol!

Yeah, needs a going over. Wet vac and mild APC/Brush will sort that no issues.

Are these quick? Or is it "just" the handling? Do I feel a TDF supercharge coming on?!?

Have you driven a Dc2 before Ben? Would be interested in hearing how the Dc5 compares.

That looks awesome.

Although I could never go from that boosted 5-pot to a V-tec. Not in a million years.

The ST feels like it weighs 3 times as much as a DC5. Much lighter on it's toes.

it feels just as quick, alot more responsive, no messy traction control. More of a drivers car i guess. Alot more raw.
Oh no doubt mate. Looks a million times more special aswell.

I'm just going off personal experiences of V-tec and it always leaves me feeling underwhelmed. I just prefer the characteristics of the Focus engine.

I liked it, the sound was lovely. But it just didnt feel eager enough for me. Good mile cruncher but not a drivers car IMO

Just got back from the ring.

All I can say is this thing handles like nothing over driven before, so planted its unreal!! Write up with pics coming tomorrow :)

Epic, came through the village this morning and had a perv on the way past. Did spot a fair bit of brake dust on the front wheels and figured it must have had a hammering somewhere lol!
 
Few pics of it from the 'ring trip this weekend

As for the car....

Well it performed without fault. Engine and gearbox are amazing as you would expect.

The handling is another level compared to the EP3, its weird how much different it can be. So much more direct and precise, the steering helps with this massively, as its hydraulic rather than electric.

I ran out of skill far before the car gave up, the grip through the corners was brilliant, even in the wet is still gave confidence. It was at home on the track, grip through the corners was immense, LSD for pulling out of them worked a treat, really did come into its own!

Much more of a drivers car than the ST, and even the EP3 to an extent IMO, feels a lot more raw.

Downsides, its noisy with a manifold and cat back, lack of sound deadning doesnt help.

But when you are on full chat, its amazing, picks up speed really well.

All in all an amazing car :) A litte more power, and a few more handling mods and itll be a proper weapon!

Is it the camera wobbling or is the bumper flapping about?

As if I forgot to mention! It sounds awesome

I absolutely adore these cars, just a shame they are so unjustifiably expensive.
