Hi all, been a member on here for a few years and a serious lurker of the forum haha. So i figured its probably time I showed you all my car
My first honda was a EK4 civic...

I loved it but after 2 years of ownership I decided I needed something with a bit more presence and power...
So a nice pretty much stock silver DC5 landed on the driveway...

I have now owned the car just over two years and as with any honda the modding bug soon starts! I shan't put every update in here as it'll probably take me years to find all the pictures etc haha but the car has been through a few different wheels in my ownership..

In terms of current mods on the car the list is as follows:
- ARC intake
- RBC inlet manifold
- J's racing strut brace
- Tegiwa exhaust manifold
- Toda backbox with custom b pipe
- Spoon 5.1 final drive
- K100 and remap by Romain at euro
- MeisterR coilovers
- Cusco front and rear ARB's
- Braided brake lines front and rear
- Mtec front discs and DS2500 pads
- Work Emotion CR-Kai wheels (7J, ET47 on AD08R tyres)
There are probably a few more mods that I have forgotten about to be honest! I shall upload an engine bay shot when I've taken a new one, the RBC and remap only happened a few weeks ago so have yet to take a decent bay shot really!
Now about a year into ownership I did my first track in the DC5 and have been hooked ever since so here's a few pics of me trying to drive it properly!

The tracks i've done so far are snetterton (3-4 times), cadwell(4 times), donington (once) and croft (once). Me and a group of friends are off to Anglesey next week to do a trackday there which should be good fun Then I think I might do cadwell another time before the year is out and possibly snetterton again!
In terms of future plans, for it is just to do more trackdays and try a few more tracks out next year. Want to do atleast silverstone and rockingham next year then maybe give Spa a go too! An ideal long term plan would be to have a visit to TTS and buy one of their rotrex kits, but who knows! I'm not bored of the car yet, far from it so I should think i'll be owning it for many years to come
Anywho thanks for looking, comments welcome!
