Hey everyone. Making a new dairy for my new project for CLUBITR exclusively as i cannot be bothered making a thread for other sites as its much to hard to maintain (lazy).
Thread will be mainly to updated myself on what has been done and to look back/reflect upon in the future and keep myself updated!
Been on the forums lurkin for awhile. Previously owned a blue EK Sedan for around 2.5 years. I've always wanted a Dc2R of some sort for awhile now but never really did anything about it and went through about 3 phases with my previous car til i lost interest in the build as i had achieved what i had envisioned for it during my time of ownership (in saying that i did really enjoy my time owning it.)
Here are some pics for reference.
Fast forward to around 2 days ago and i picked up my 2001 NHB DC2R!
The car came with the following mods:
- Genuine TODA Headers
- Mugen twin loop catback
- Comptech Ice Box intake
- Oem Optional Skirts and Pods
- Oem Raybrig Foggies
- Hardrace bushings all around
- Buddyclub N+ Coilovers
- JDM ITR 16s"
Car was overall in good condition when i picked it up. Had an inspection and it was mostly very promising. Just little things here and there that need to be replaced/fixed and she'll be sweet!
My impressions so far are great. Body was in pretty great condition for its age. Few rock chips on the front end but overall the body and paint is in good nick.
Interior is also in superb nick! Heres a pic from when i got it!
Not a fan of the fogs at all.
Day after i decided to work and fix up a couple of minor things that had bothered/triggered my minor OCD senses with the help of my mates
1. The seal b/w the bonnet and the front bar had some sort of white stain left on it (probably from some cleaning product haha)
2. Install my Sub
3. Reinstall the HIDs (taken out for rwc purposes)
4. Remove those damned foggies
5. Replace the rear number plate light with some T10s
No many pics of progress but managed to get all the above done with the help of my good mates Keith and Ricky! THANKS m8.
Anyways here are some more pictures of the car. Enjoy!
(NO moar fogs; but need a new bar cos the grill area had to be cut to fit em.. let me know if anyone has a spare ITR bumper for me to replace with haha. But it will have to do for now.)
My mates were also too kind and had bought a belated present for me and the ITR. (Bosch wipers and some Dc2 visors); THANKS
No pics but bosch wipers have been put on aswell as some T10s for the front indicator lenses.
Really enjoying driving the R so far (much more than the EK due to the overall feel the rawness of the car) and slowly adjusting to driving it but it definitely feels great and better than anything ive had the opportunity to drive.
My plans for the Dc2R are not too crazy and ill stick to keeping this functional so i can enjoy her more so on the road rather than just hardparking it.
List for things that i wish to get done in the future:
- Get a service done in the coming weeks
- Rear wiper delete
- Oem Eg6/Dc2 Clear indicators (ORDERED)
- New number plates
- Install the visors
- Give the interior a good clean
- cut and polish
- Wheels! Ce28s/Regas are on the to-buy list (Need some advice on these in the future; 16x8 +35ish. Best tires to run? 215/45? 205/45?)
- Roll the rear guards
- Hardrace front camber arms
- Alignment
- JDM FRONT CONVERSION?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!!?!?!??!?!?!?
Anyways any feedback is welcome. Thanks!
