Evening all,

Just thought I would post a couple of pics of my mates car and his brothers. My mate has a imported JDM EK9 and his brother has just got rid of his Focus ST and got a UK Spec DC5. Both cars are absolutely immaculate. Both sound so different but so amazing. Anyway I havn't had time to do a shoot of the DC5 with my DSLR so the pics are only small phone pics, but it gives you an idea. I did a few shots of the EK9 one night a couple of weeks ago and another mate joined us in his UK spec DC2.

DC5...

EK9...

DC2...

I will get some more proper photos soon and will post them as and when

Cheers

Get on with it then

 

[Christopher]

No such thing as a UK DC5.

They're amazing machines though!

 

[Alex H]

Don't let Christopher see this threa..... oh wait.

 

[Turkish]

Get on with it then

Hopefully I'm viewing a 2000 Rx on Sunday. If it's as clean as it seems then it'll be sorted.

 

[Will.]

What's one of them....

[JCC]

Lovely! I have to own something with Vtec at some point, if it wasn't for insurance I'd probably own one by now.

Love the DC5...

Thanks for the comments guys, i will pass them on. The DC5 is immaculate, cant believe how rapid it is! you guys would love the Honda EG who sometimes meets us in Norwich, it has a EP3 engine in it and is completely stripped and it absolutely fries the DC5 it is mental!

Christopher - sorry mate, i didnt realise you couldnt get UK DC5s im not that clued up on Hondas as you can probably tell lol

 

[Bjorn]

The 5 looks very clean, reminds me of mine.

Tell him to get it Kpro'd, completely different machine when its in the 250's (bhp).

Is K pro just a remap then or? How much is that?

I do like the hondas, but they just dont excite be too much visually. As a driving weapon I think the the dc2 is the best, but also the fugliest

Its a piggyback that goes on the standard ECU, allows you to remap, as the OEM is not mappable. Your looking at around £700 for a Kpro and £200-300 for a map (places likr TDI North do a package and are highly regarded), i think thats with an OEM ECU exchange, or you can pick them up for £600 second hand.

A few bolt ons like RBC inlet manifold (from accord euro R), induction, free flowing full exhaust and Kpro with a remap will see you into the 240-250s bhp. Add that to a fast road set-up and decent disc/pad combo and its a different drive altogether.

I loved my DC5 when it was properly set-up.

So really, you're looking at around £2500 for an extra 40-50bhp....not worth it imo! Enjoy it for what it is, or go silly and supercharge it or something.

If your stupid and buy everything new then yes.

It cost me about £300, bought all my mods second hand and sold them for the same price or more when the car sold.

I would never supercharge or turbo a teg btw, ruins the essence of the thing, N/A ftw.
