[QUOTE=Timmy_B;185838]Is everyone still hating on Sam's DC5?

not hating dude, but it was such an anti-climax

[SpoonS]

BTW Eddie, im amazed how much this has changed since that first track day at wakie. You really have put alot of time and money into this, and it shows. Great build.

Thanks Timmy

To think that my first actual trackday was in march at wakie with you. Its been a really fast trip to where i am now. Going from never tracking to building a racecar, all in a span of less then a year. Spent more money then i would have liked, but that's what happens when you build something from scratch

[Timmy_B]

Yeah Eddie, but your doing good thinga mate.. Its always good to see someone take on a build and to see where they end up.
And we had fun that day round wakie

Small update.

The car has finally been sent to Bonds to get the cage done. It should be back in about a week, 2 weeks max.

The engine is in, but none of the wiring is done as we have to wait til the cage is in.

Had to get 16" rims for race regulation purposes, and found me a good set.
Anyways, here area some of the pics.









Mugen Floor Plate




No more sunroof

The intake hose is there just to close the hole if u were wondering why its bent like that

thanks Timmy.
Well its not really regulations. They do have 17" tyres, but only in hard compound, which will be crap as everyone with 16" and under will be using medium/soft compound.

The car will be completed hopefully by mid next month.
