Right folks,
I have been in for quite a long time but never had one build thread other than reading other's.
Now I thought I put a thread for my track orientated dc5.
I am so excited about my new purchase back to 2014.
A 12/2003 Champion White DC5 C-Pack, imported in 2008, stayed in England for only three month then brought by someone in Tyrone I believe as the registration is LHZ.
It is a fairly clean car for its age with about 70+k miles, decent seats and interior etc, not bad paint condition apart from the vinyl wrap that damaged the paint. There wasn't many history/ receipts regarding to car since 2008. Only two MOT carried out 2012 and 2013. Really appreciated If anyone can help me find a bit more history about this car!
Modification wise it has been lowered by a **** spring, and with a rusting HKS backbox.
I used to own a Honda EK and then a MK1 Mazda 3 MPS before this:
On the day I collected:
And I just went to the back road for a drive...I have to say, this thing is absolutely mental, even after driven my turbo mps, especially on the mountain twisty road. I was trying to keep the RPM... Damn, this car always feels fast, sounds fast. I am glad that I went back to Honda and purchased a such epic machine.
So I removed the vinyl wrap:
And the edge was damaged, not bad condition but needs to be taken care of.
De-rear wiper has to be done
:
Next thing will be to sort out the rear rust...the boot was like a pound
And the bolt that holds the space saver was completely rusted and stuck inside
Some swear and sweat...
And also I striped the boot trim to tidy any rust or leak spots, sanded them down, painted with Por 15 rust preventing paint.
sealed the lights, and rust proof the taillights brackets
Previous owners never cared about the handling as the rear camber was negative like -2 on each side due to the low spring without fitting camber adjuster! That inner edge of the rear tyres are all smooth like slick tyres!...
Hardrace rear camber arms, a set of goodyear F1 AS2 were fitted and a four wheel alignment was done at kerr's.
Cleaned the throttle body and IACV to eliminate any chance of sticky IACV. Also replaced the IACV gasket to a thermal plastic one.
Got a full kakimoto regu exhaust system fitted to replace the rusted HKS and OEM centre pipe.
