    New Member, New DC5R

    Howdy guys,

    Thought I'd register here to learn more about my car and it's potential, meet new people and share my stories.

    Only recently had a fond desire and interest in hondas. Bought a DC5R today with 24,000km on the clock. Before this i drove a bmw e46 318i which was auto and slow, so i used the money i saved up to buy a dc5R! Picked it up today, with near immaculate condition. Paid a bit more than i should, but its peace of mind, knowing, i don't have a car that's been thrashed and treated like shit.

    Been lurking these forums for the last couple of weeks, trying to learn as much as i can about these cars, definitely looks like a lot of fun! I'll be driving my car stock for the next couple of months before i consider getting any mods done to it, I want to learn my car, and know what it's capable of in it's true stock form. In the meantime, I'm going to be studying hard up on these cars and saving up money for the mods!

    Looking forward to meeting the folks on the forums and attending the meets!

                      Nice to see a non-pink Milano Red DC5R! Great choice.
