DC5R: The Journey from Stock

[Peachy]

Need to do something about that plate.. Agreed.

What nuts are those, aftermarket? I would stick to the oem nuts mate for two reasons

a) doesnt look at ricey

b) from a functional perspective, the oem wheels require a ball radius style nut to be 100% secure. Having said that, I've seen on many occasions, people running oem wheels with aftermarket nuts and have no dramas. I think mainly its using aftermarket wheels with OEM nuts that are the problem.

Great job on ordering the whiteline rear sway bar - a mod that no one will ever see, but a mod that will be great for your FF car. GOod to see your spending money on stuff that will actually improve the handling of your car and not jdm points

I suppose the red lug nuts come down to individual opinion, I don't find them overly ricey because they don't stick out like a sore thumb. And as for safety, they are ball radius steel lug nuts

Yeah I can't wait to feel the difference with the sway bar.

Another purchase for the car lol, I just picked up a spoon front strut bar

[plAythiNG]

nice to hear thier ball radius

I had a Cusco front strut bar... I never really felt the difference on the track of a strut bar. Even though mine was 4 point, i went to the track with that, a rear sway bar and also a new set of coilovers so never knew if it made a difference or not. It did look good though

[Peachy]

It did look good though

There's no shame in being honest Tis the reason I picked up the front strut bar too hehehe. That and it theoretically does make some kind of difference. Haven't installed yet due to lack of tools, but I look forward to it.......... might sticker bomb it?

My second install all by myself hahaha, was so easy. Question however, the two allen key bolts on the strut, how tight should this be done up?

I have a feeling u will be heavily modfing this.

Hehehe it seems like that at the moment, but most of my current mods are pretty small and cheap. After I get the engine mounts, CAI, rear sway bar and new brake pads in, all I want to do afterwards is (in order):
- Kiddracing header with 100CPSI cat
- Exedy stage 1 clutch and flywheel (thinking about final drive at the same time but have NO idea what to get, what ratio etc, just need to research.)
- RBC intake manifold & Hondata IMG
- kpro

its a bug, u just can help it!

That's so true. When I bought the car I wanted to keep it stock



I think the overall goal for the car is to keep it looking stock, with stock wheels and good tyres but handles and performs a lot better than it looks. I want people to think that I've left it stock a semi-sleeper dc5r? I don't think with my planned mods it'll be a killer though haha
I will eventually track the car as well, but I wanna get it track ready with the motor mounts, sway bar and pads first

These arrived in the mail today

I've been sitting out the front of my house all day enjoying the sun with rolled darts and home brewed espressos. I can't see my mailbox from where I sit, but I can hear when someone puts something in as the flap makes a crazy whack.
Sitting inside and I hear it, I go to collect my mail and my ClubITR stickers are there, YAAAAAY, I go back inside, have a tug, then went and put the stickers on my car.
Come 2:30pm I hear something else in my mailbox, I go outside and check again and the mail man had left a "We tried to deliver a package but you weren't home" card in my mailbox, then OFF he drives quickly away as he see's me checking the box!!!! LAZY ****!!!! He did this last week as well, just left the card cuz he was too lazy to walk 10 meters to my front door.
Lodged a complaint with aussie post, seriously, how hard is it to do their job, it's not overly hard to knock on a door and deliver a package, it doesn't take brain power.... fkn lazy ****

x 2!! I live in a apartment and they never try to press the intercom. i get my stuff shipped to my and gf's place and i always have to pick up from the post office. even worse with the kingsford post office, they never search for ur parcel until the pick up time written on the card but the thing is that it is back to the office already!!
