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
