Bom 05 DC5S

[etherealfall]

Hello everyone

I've previously made a very stock show off thread that I subsequently deleted.

I bought this car exactly 15 months ago when I was still on my auto Ps and since then I've learnt to drive manual and learnt to love cars. It had 36xxx kms on day 1 and 15 months later, it is sitting on 59xxx kms - 23 thousand kms of fun and joy.

It's a bit dirty right now as I'm straddling pretty much the calm before the storm of 8 exams and 4 assignments + I'm also waiting for a friend to get his work wheels so I can do a photoshoot :P

Nice startoff Pete!

Whenever I look at the AUDM bar, it simply doesnt cut it no more. I love the jdmrear bar, it just simply fits and compliments the number plate so so much better after getting used to it. I even park my car nose in so I can check out the rear each time haha (jokes i park it nose in for other reasons)

I know the BOM colour isnt really a favorite amongst other owners, I really like it when a decent set of wheels and the Mugen kit is on it. When you mugen kit comes, it will look tops. Afterall, Mugen showcased their 05-06 kit using a BOM dc5

Quality mods already dude! Your all set!

[etherealfall]

Haha thanks Alex! Yeah mugen kit is so sex. There is so much I want to do but with so little money! I think some time next year I'll respray the regas white. I think it sets the BOM off so much more

[ggwpty]

Oh harro dere, nice car!

Fingers crossed the work wheels come sooooooooon!

[etherealfall]

Hey man how's the rest of the hunt going? Camber kit etc

[ggwpty]

Lol, bit lazy to search lately. Should've bought the stuff earlier while the AUD was strong ... =[

[etherealfall]

alex is it okay for me to stick with oem lug nuts or should i get aftermarket??

[plAythiNG]

Since u running regas! Go aftermakret... The oem nuts are shaped different compared to the aftermarket tapered edge ones.

Nice wheels pete

[ahmiie]

nice car ! cant wait to see the photoshoot pics when u do it!

[etherealfall]

thanks for the kind words guys! yeah BOM didnt quite sit too tight with me when i first got it but now i've learnt to LOVE the colour. Although truth to be told, I still want a white DC5 :P

JDMyard is out of hardrace motor mounts! anyone give a heads up as to how else I can obtain a set? Need to reduce wheelhop asap

[etherealfall]

Just got the car serviced two days ago... time to fang around

[etherealfall]

So today ggwpty (steve) and I went out to do some more stuff to our cars.

He went off to 999 automotive to get his Hardrace mounts, Hardrace rear camber kit, hubcentric rings, and alignment done as well as his Toda header and EP3 sway or Cusco sway fitted. I'm sure he'll update his thread later on

On the other hand, I was continuing my hunt for exhaust springs/spring hooks but that yielded no results so I dropped the Toda header off for welding. $40

Still waiting for it to be done - probably fitting it this afternoon woo

Just some pictures that I snapped (without steve's knowledge )

Waiting for steve.. he was late


Some quick snaps of steve's sick NHBP /w Works waiting for work to be done on it
That ass






And as I came home for lunch, Symphorced's Project Kics nuts.
Looks a treat!


I'll let steve update his own thread when he gets everything fitted
