    Dan's ABP DC5R build from Sydney

    Hi all, been on ClubITR for about 8 months now and decided to make a build thread about the DC5R that I bought last November She is an 03' model and was all stock when I first had it, still a baby virgin with 132,500kms on the clock which wasn't easy to come across. Here's some pictures of when I just bought it.





    these photos were taken the day after I bought it, the number plate holder looks so bad haha

    Well, I decided that my first priority was to get rid of that disgusting number plate holder, change wheels and do exhaust. My 1st choice was the Kakimoto Regu 06&R (yes I know it sounds like a fart cannon but I like the tone and +1 for JDM brand) but instead, I bought 2nd hand Mugen headers with catalyser, and a Mugen twinloop catback for an absolute steal of a price! The only downside was a large scrape on the catalyser (probably because the previous owner had a very low car). This also meant that I bought an EP3R front sway bar to fit the headers.




    my stepbrother is a bit of a comedian.....

    I got help from my stepbrother installing these, as I had little experience installing mods. (It's a learning curve!)
    I also plasti-dipped my front lip to hide some stone chips.


    The Mugen exhaust has such a nice refined sound

    As for the wheels, they're being made in Japan as I type this ETA is around mid-August. (I'm gonna leave it as a surprise hehe)


    A few days ago, I received a package from Japan....





    SURPRISE! My JDM cluster came in Is it possible for someone to increase the KMs on the cluster? It's on 104,500 at the moment and I really would like it increased to 139k to show legit kms....

    Here's a shot of my car as it is now


    Will update when my wheels come in

    Nice car mate, I don't think it's possible to alter the digital odometer on the JDM cluster unfortunately.

                    UPDATE

                    Wheels came in a little earlier than I planned. Bought them from perfectrun and couldn't be more satisfied Warning: quite a few photos haha






                    Gotta have the lock nuts incase someone tries to steal them lol





                    As you can see, they're Rays Volk Racing TE37SL's with the concave face, in Pressed Graphite, 17x9 +22 offset. I'm looking to run 225/45/17 all round and am currently in the process of buying the necessary suspension mods (someone sell me some front camber bolts haha).

                    Will update when these are fitted!
