Great work mate! Loving the ghetto garden hose attachment

Good start to your build mate
I have a big soft spot for CW DC5s

[knobosaurus]

Thanks for the great feedback guys! I've been working really hard :P

Update 5/02/13

So I got my axelback exhaust from Alex and Nathan the other day.



This was the waterslide which was sitting on the back before:



Comparison:



A very noticeable tone difference. Stealthy.

Also, since ADM DC5Rs don't come with cabin air filters from factory, I thought I'd have a poke around to see if the previous owner bothered to take care of his car and get some.





I guess not....Judging from this dirty filter tray.


The problems coninue now:

Been driving around. Less than 100 km and I've dropped almost half a tank. Yep, I'm running rich. Bit of a black deposit building up on my exhaust tip, fuel-like smell and horrible economy.

Got my trusty scan tool in. Yep, my throttle position sensor isn't taking a reading AT ALL. Cool. With help from a workshop manual, narrowed it down to a dead sensor = need to buy a new throttle body since removing the sensor is practically impossible on a Honda.

Oh and the most important purchase of the week:


What does ITR stand for guys? Is it Integra Type R? Such a blonde question :P

[DaRKNT]

Nice progress mate - can't wait to see where you take it

I know a few people who have swapped over sensors... surely you won't need a new TB but then again... may be a good time to upgrade to something bigger :P

and yeah, Integra Type R :P

Mmmm stealth = WIN

[wongy]

Nice progress my exhaust always has a thin layer of black deposit too, i need to replace my o2 sensor xD

[knobosaurus]

Normal o2 sensor voltages are 0-1V right? Where 0.5V is stoic and higher = rich, lower = lean? Unless this is a different type.

[eLtrix]

Guess who has a spare o2 sensor BOYS!

[plAythiNG]

is your one for DC5R 02-04... Vinh rquires 02-04 NOT 05-06... just FYI

[knobosaurus]

Haha thanks for backing me up Alex. I don't know if I need a new o2 sensor just yet. Going to start off with just a new TB.

[plAythiNG]

I belive a new sensor is alot cheaprr than a new tb
