    New DC2 owner from Melbourne.

    Hey! I'm Alex I'm over on Ozhonda & JDMST, been reading lots over here, just not posting. Keen to start though!

    I previously owned an EK1 CXi, which was my first car. I resprayed it in OEM Milano Red, put a Simota Intake, Twin loop exhaust, GLi Cluster, OEM Blades and a few little extras on. Was a big learning experience.

    Loved it to death, but when the bodywork was done, I started to get bored.. wanted a b series! Put an EOI up on Gumtree, sure enough not long after, someone offered me a healthy $4000 for it! I took it of course.

    And since I'd always wanted a DC2.. I got one! lol.
    1998 VTI-R! Facelift! For only $500 more!

    Since I bought it, i've stuck brand new RE002's on it all round, an OEM Type R lip and resprayed the valve cover since i had an extra $30 to spend.

    It's pretty stock at the moment. Immediate plans are coilovers and a few other suspension/brakes bits.

    Long term plans would be;
    CAI and Skunk2 IM.
    ITR GBox
    ITR Skirts/pods
    Full exhaust (mugen twinloop maybe?)
    Buddyclub P1's
    VAFC/Tune
    ITR Steering wheel cause VTI-R one is boring.
    Drive the damn thing!

    Thanks for reading

    Hey man! Welcome to the forums!
    Seems like you got a pretty good deal on the car!! How many kms is it??

    And what coil overs are you thinking of getting? Coilovers are great but don't go cheap! Probably one of the best handling mods out there imo.

        Nice purchase mate! Pretty good price as well. Good to see another VTI-R in Melbourne! Jealous of your facelift though.

        ITR wheels are pretty expensive if you want one in good condition and one that still has the unblown airbag.

                Cheers! And I got a bit of a score with the Facelift too haha.

                    Great to be here

                    Quick snap with the Type R lip painted and fitted. I love my DC2!

                      That lip makes such a difference

                        Welcome bud. Throw some OEM Type R rims and it's set
                        Lisa is a nut. She has a rubber butt. Everytime she turns around it goes putt putt.
