Hi guys, I know i'm not as active on here as before but just thought I'd share with you what i've been driving since the beginning of spring. Here is my Integra DC2. She's a 96 spec that came in from Japan in 2011 and went straight to London before making her way to my hands on the Emerald Isle more recently.:naughty::naughty:

It's got quite a spec that I've posted up below but I hope you enjoy the pictures, they are by no means of good quality but you get the idea. Mechanically it's fantastic, with every part of the highest standard. aesthetically she's not the 'mintest yoke' about but with a few pin dents removed and new genuine badges she'll be up to scratch whilst still maintaining the look of a 17 year old Honda lol. Please excuse the dirty seats... I have my suspicions that the previous owner lived in them... :lol:

It has no rust whatsoever which is a massive bonus, mostly due to the fact she hasn't been over here long, but I couldn't get over how solid it was when I had the front and rear bumpers off for inspection. The car was undersealed upon import as well and the underside is real tidy. I'm really really pleased with how solid that car is and the performance is unlike anything I've ever experienced!!

I'll get a full spec list posted up later this evening. Enjoy the pics, sorry for the poor quality iPad pics, it was getting dark too :(

All comments and criticism is welcome.
 
Here is a spec list I thought I'd put together. I'm not one for hiding what has been done to my car and its an enthusiasts forum so I hope you enjoy. Any advise on parts or recommendations would be awesome to keep me on the right track... An LSD, OEM 'H' badges, lowered front, raised rear, 5 stud conversion & new wheels are all on the horizon over the summer I think...

Here's a quick vid of someone driving, taken a fortnight ago against a 380bhp Evo 8 MR. He got a brave head start on me.


 
Looks like a fun setup! Enjoy it! :nice:

Recaros need some TLC. :)

Recaros need more than TLC :nono:

Hopefully get them taken apart and fully cleaned soon, but the drivers upper bolster is badly torn, so a set of capital seating seat covers may be required
 
I take my had off to you Sir that is an impressive setup good to see that Ireland can hold its own as far as good fast Hondas are concerned
 
hahahah 'YES COME ON', excellent video. i would be shouting the exact same thing as the passenger or driver in said itr vs evo dual haha. props on the crazy vehicle!
 
This thing is a complete animal, having been lucky enuff to be allowed to drive it back from the uk, I can say there's noting iv ever sat in can compare to the feeling of this thing hitting full boost, it's the scariest and most exciting feeling as one second your sitting in a perfectly normal civilised dc2, and the next your paste'd to the seat, wastegate wide open screaming at you and the speedo is trying to do a lap of the clock....and then you change gear and the whole insane process starts again,:drive::drive::eek::bow:

Here's a wee vid of it after my little ek3 :gav:

Been away in Hungary for a few weeks so haven't had time to update this very much. Have had a few wee bits and pieces done while I was away.

Possibly best mod I've ever done to a car in my 7 years of driving.

Quaiffe ATB diff.

Sent the car to my friend Keith Smyth in Cookstown and he got the new diff fitted. Night and day difference to the OEM open diff and even to the helical LSDs that came as standard in the dc5/dc2/ek9. The grip is insane and the pull into the inside of the corners is unlike anything I've driven before!

Well pleased to say the least and leaves her set up really nicely now!!
 
As well as having the new diff fitted I got the boot floor restarted NH-0 again as it was a bit grubby looking. Excited to get the plastics back in her and she'll be fresh looking then! Hopefully she'll see a rolling road later this month so I can get figures of my own.

Anyway enjoy the pictures. C&C welcome.
