    Finally introducing myself to the CITR community ;)

    Hello everyone,
    My name is Phorla. i am the proud owner of a Red DC5R

    i've been on here for quite awhile, and thought it was time to introduce myself to the community.

    Car has been reasonably stock for the time i've had it (3 yrs), and only started my modifications late November 2011.

    The main difference from other Type Rs is that it Had Harrop brakes on it which i only found the part number on the front brake pads the other day.
    Thanks to T-BaGGeR

    It was used in the Celebrity Grand prix race a few yrs back im pretty sure.

    Quick list of mods:
    Toda H/D Chain & Tensioner
    Exedy S/O clutch
    Toda Lightweight Pulleys
    Buddy Club N+ Coilovers
    Ultra Racing: Front + rear upper, front + rear lower, b-pillar, & c-pillar brace
    Custom Short Ram
    Oil Catch Can
    Apexi RSM
    Shift Light

    Will Post photos when i get home tonight for all of you to look at

    Welcome!

    I think your car was used as a pace car at one of the Indy races a while ago. Don't think it was used as a celebrity race car for a Grand Prix.

                welcome mate,
                yeah it was called 'young guns',10 dc5r's going round the gold coast indy track, driven buy up and coming race drivers, marcos ambrose was one of them i believe, i was there and remember the cars going round,and think it must have been either 2001,2002??
                it was back in the day when honda was still in champ car and was the major sponsor of the indy weekend

                  ah yep. that makes more sense.
                  cos when i was told about the young guns race, i automatically thought albert park which got me confused as i dont think it was used before. lol :s
                  mines a 2001 model so your spot on the money there

                    yeah i think it must have been 2001, i don't think i went on 02,
                    i've defenitly got photos somewhere, i'll see if i can't dig em up, might be able to spot your car as it was, fresh off the boat
