Basemade DC2R
Hey guys, Its been a while since ive updated my previous thread but i have finally acquired a car i've been wanting since i was in grade 3.
This DC2R came to my attention soon after posting up for one. It belonged to a friend of a friend (some of you may recognise who it is from this car) who has moved overseas and left the car here. It was Milano red, fairly factory, straight body, and rebuilt motor which were my main buying points.
The first night i got it i immediately put the car up on stands and started cleaning suspension, engine bay and underbody. Even thought the car had a roady done there were a few obvious things that didnt get looked over which i am in the process of fixing now. Some interior pieces were also swapped out from my old car and the recaros steam cleaned.
It fortunately came with all the factory spare suspension and interior parts, and i cant thank the previous owner enough for being so meticulous with the car.
After getting a break from uni i finally got a chance to align it. Unfortunately it took a while as the front left was 15.6 out. not quite sure how it got that bad but rest of them were re aligned to my favourite specs. Them fresh alignment feels tho.
Over the past few days ive just been doing some nit picky things. like detailing interior, adding gasket in between the lip and the bar (i've always hated the white marks you get when the lip scrapes on the bar) ill add the part no. as well if anyone is interested to add on their optional kit. The car needs to go for an exterior detail very soon as it has been sitting outside under a car cover before my purchase.
To be honest, i have no idea whats in store for it, but for now, i am just loving driving it.
