JDM Y0 - Part 2! New Project - DC5 content :)
- Thread starter 172Ben

It's pretty nippy. But yeh, such a sorted chassis. Amazing handling and the steering feel is so much better than the ep3!!
Yeh, only for about 30 minutes, still getting used to the DC5 so ill feedback after the ring
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.

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!
Haha! Daft thing is they are standard pads! When replaced with ds2500 it'll be stupid!
But it did get a hammering

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!

It's mounted on the number plate, so it does wobble a little
