Hey guys, been wanting to get better picture's of my recently purchased DC5 Type R before i posted a build thread.
But i cant help myself i love the car so much
Story starts back in 2007 when i purchased my first Honda, which was a 93' EH9 Sedan
I ended up selling it because i was careless with it and turned it into a shitbox as my first car....
A year went by and the big thing was drifting so i went ahead and bought a 91' Silvia S13
Ugliest thing i ever bought, was a piece of shit. Young and stupid i guess. Sold it to my father later down the track because i lost my licence speeding.
I had a lot of problems with my Silvia and all the parts to buy were expensive, so i decided to go back to Honda and I bought a 92' EG Hatch
6 months down the track, A lady crossed a double white line in front of me turning into a pet store and this happened...
Getting some insurance money back and me being bitten by the bug, i had to get another Honda. Which lead me to this 96' EK Sedan
I had big plans for the EK Sedan, I ended up starting on a turbo build for the car and just lost interest. I wanted a EK Hatch instead of a Sedan.
I went shopping for a EK Hatch, so i went to meet up with a guy to look at this "mint" black EK Hatch.
Drove down to Slackscreek to looks at it, and what a complete piece of shit, was nothing like in the photos.
After viewing the shitty EK Hatch I headed back home and i seen 2 DC5's sitting at the lights together, 1 red and 1 black. They both cruise past and that's when i knew that's the car i wanted.
I really wanted a white DC5r but couldnt find any within my price range and i nearly folded and bought a Type S...........so happy i didn't now.
Few weeks down the track and i ended up buying this off Jayden
When bought, the car had
- KPro Ecu
- Apexi SAFCII Air-Flow Converter (no idea what that does)
- Injen Cold Air Intake
- 5Zigen International Pro-Racer 2.5inch Cat-back Exhaust
Since purchasing the car, i have removed the Mugen front bar and Carbon Fiber bonnet.
I want the car to look clean and pretty stock in the looks department.
Not too sure in what direction i plan to go in for building the engine, at the moment its N/A but i might go turbo later on.

After driving my Dads EP3, i found my car lacked the "vtec kick". I Uploaded a new map into the KPro.
The car wouldn't start, so i changed it to another map and the ecu light was on my dash.
Checking the laptop i seen the was a vtec sensor error (cant remember the exact name of it).
I couldn't fix the problem so i ended up putting the stock ECU and the car ran fine and it actually had Vtec.
Someone had previously disabled the vtec error and ran the car without vtec....hard to explain, correct me in im wrong.
I'll chuck the KPro back in once i get more parts and ready for a tune.
