[SA] DD's DC5R

[danielsim917]

more and more clubitr members in SA now! yaahoo!! Hey u sound like we met before? =D FYI I had done an inspection on your CW dc5r before on behalf of a bloke in vic early this year as he was looking at it as well. haha!!

[knobosaurus]

Haha, never met before.

And yeah, the car was a bit of a crudder in comparison to the cleaner examples out there. It's my crudder which I'm going to convert to a beasty R.

oh and before I forget, what does the CW stand for? I've never known when people mention it.

[danielsim917]

CW = Championship white. Cant wait to c how it turns out! not many CW dc5r on the road in SA!

[knobosaurus]

Yeah getting my running gear together first. Then I can work on the fun stuff. Gotta check out your milano R sometime. Get some ideas for mine

This thing is so clean, and it sits so perfectly on those wheels. Keep it up!

I see that your car is running a Gruppe M intake, which I so god damn want! How much did you get yours for? Really undecided on whether to go Gruppe M or Mugen.

God I swear the induction noise on this thing is MAD! Got it over 1k with JDMconcept and Im sure u can pick an used for about $700ish? LOL
About Mugen vs Gruppe M im sure someone in here can show you a better direction.

Having a mugen intake without a duct opening in the front bumper doesn't aid the cold air process. However, DYNO results depend on a combination of factors, and all cars are different in that aspect. Tuning is also a major factor however both are very good intakes and there is no the better between the two. If however you choose to have a loud induction sound, the GruppeM triumps the Mugen due to the cold duct being close to the windscreen and dash where as the mugen is at the front upper bumper region..

arghhh! You gotta take me for a ride one day! Yeah, man, those two intakes have a crazy price-tag attached to it, so maybe a used one might be a better option. Btw, i took a closer look at your pics and it seems the piece of plastic for the windscreen thingy is noticeably a lot shinier than the stock one, has the placement of the snorkel bothered you much?

Haha thanks for the reply! I've done heaps of searching around and have heard that being thrown around too. At the moment, im not too focused on the other stuff, one thing at a time and a new intake is like one of my top priorities xD yup, have seen and read about that too. The only thing that got to me was that the gruppe m has that snorkel sticking out of the bonnet, vs mugen being tucked away. Damn it! The mod bug is starting to bite! D=

yeah the replacement cowl from gruppe M is blackier and shinier than oem. Well u can modify the oem cowl to have the scoop fit on which i seen in clubrsx forum. (time consuming) Oh placement of the snorkel will not disturbing your driving view in any ways. Hahaha the reason I chose Gruppe M is for the noise and the cool little scoop

Time for update!

Fitted brand new oem headlights last month which i bought from Flippit. No more cloudy headlights! Got a photo to compare!


How's the car looks with new headlights. Im a HAPPY man!


Just fitted Whiteline adjustable sways for front and back few days ago with HD bushes and end links. Front is running soft setting and rear is running hard setting which I ASSUME will help a lil bit with understeer.
Very happy with how the car's handling at the moment after a hill run last night.

At the moment waiting for NORM's J's Racing c-pillar bar and Spoon Blue wide rear view mirror from Japan. (??Visor will hit on Broadway clip-on wide rear view mirror)

Also, heading down to a honda meet next Saturday with few of CITR members. U know who u r! Well Clubitr reps in SA! Photos will be up after the meet!

[knobosaurus]

Hao hao yeah! Get excited everyone I see the word [SA] on the forum

[Shakeel]

Looks great man!

[Norm]

Once I get back Tuesday! First thing i'll do is pack it up and send it! Car is looking great mate! The headlights made the difference day and night.

[jdm.itr]

Wow, can't believe how much a difference just the headlights make, another thing to add to my list!
Car looks great mate!
