Hello from me and my DC2R
Hey guys,
New member here. Picked up my '01 DC2 Type R about two months ago and am loving it. She's got a few little problems that I'm slowly fixing as time and money allows. I'm 17, this is my third car. My first car was a SR20DET S13, my second a NA6 MX5, and now this. Safe to say this is the most special car i've owned so far, and has the best personality haha.
There's a few issues it's got that have me scratching my head about still but I may post in a different topic about those to try and sort them out.
Its all relatively stock, except for 4-2-1 headers, 100cell catalytic converter, rear strut brace, K&N pod filter enclosed in stock airbox, oil cooler, oil temp and pressure gauges, and a shift light that i removed immediately after purchase
The car cosmetically has seen better days, it would seem like half the car has taken a beating from the sun, or has been poorly resprayed at some point. I would love to get the car professionally detailed and polished, but that's a fair bit of coin haha. Also about a few weeks after getting the car a lady decided to come out onto the road and throw a glass bottle at my car, how lovely that was. Left dents and scratches on the passenger side front fender and front bumper join. Quoted ~$400 to fix. Great! [Police report submitted] There's also a bit of paint fade on the aforementioned side and a weird dent the size of a 50c piece in the fade, on the top of the rear fender. The car still has all the original Type R stickers, Type R H badge, matching interior badge to VIN number, and red Recaro seats.
Here's some pics
Cheers

I just hope that having the new rear mount in and not the other mounts in yet will not destroy my new rear mount. Looking at getting the other 2 engine mounts and 2 torque mounts in in a fortnight. 
It was on my mates street who has already received a noise complaint from the council for having loud cars, and i was silly enough to engage VTEC in his street. Still, I think vandalising someones property on a public street just to make a point is a bit over the top.
