    the lifestory of a DC5S...

    Hi. Been on here for almost a year now but never had an offcial intro so instead of being sum random guy posting I thought Id give it a shot. U guys can call me Prash (actual name too long to type :P). Got my 05dc5s at start of the year (present from dad for hsc and uni marks.. prob wondering wut a curry nerd is doing with a dc5s ). just finished 2nd yr at unsw (3 more to go .. doing sw eng/commerce). Aneways back to the car, well its pretty much stock, dun abt 35000ks, got it under $30k from sum hk intl student. Just got sum gauges fitted and sum other rice stuff. Found out the previous owner had a cai on it. Hopefully will c sum more mods (suspension and track stuff... cooling etc). on 1st yr of green Ps so have to wait sum time for power mods. Would love to come on a cruise if its during uni hols (like right now ) Dont think im gonna c the track for sum time.
    That's pretty much all for now...

    Sorry for the crappy quality pics (fone camera.. taken when i got the car)
