Flippit's DC5R !!

[Flippit]

Hi :)

So as some of you may know, I picked up my 2003 Silver DC5 Type R today from Canberra. She quite neat inside and out with only 117k kms, rego till Jan! Has full service history at Honda from day 1 and reading over the receipts the Drive shafts and engine mounts have been done :)

Like I said its bog stock besides a SRI Injen intake and aftermarket head unit.

At the moment I'm going to just obviously maintain it and small minor things (like my italian flag on the rear view :) )! In the future i'd like to follow this order or mods

Powercoat wheels matte black
Catback Xforce twin loop exhaust
CAI Injen intake to bar
Double din head unit
BC or Silver Neo Coilovers
Headers
Wheels or Hondata!

Now I know most likely it wont happen in this particular order but i'll try. I was guna say 'I won't mod it keep it stock lalal' but we all know that never happens!

The drive home from Canberra was sweat! Full tank (top bloke), only used just under half a tank of fuel to get back got about 280kms to it so quite good on fuel!

Haven't taken any proper photos yet but for the mean time!

Looks nice and clean mate! I'm hopefully going to purchase one of these bad boys within a year or so. Mind if I ask how much you bought it for?

I could smell burning oil when driving sometimes and we checked the car EVERYWHERE for any leaks...nothing. So Hmm lets take off this cover....

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6150/6199834646_2a1718f89b_b.jpg

(not pictured) there was a large spill going from oil cap under cover down to here! Who ever did the oil changed deserves to be punched in the forehead!

Yes yes i know lol! Saving up for coilovers after holidays ;)

[Flippit]

MAN how awesome was Honda Nationals! Some quality cars there!

Anyway, once that was over tonight i've started polishing and waxing the car. I've so far done Front bumper, front guards and bonnet before there was no more light!

Weapon Choice
http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6218/6229673721_399070311f_b.jpg

Results : Smooth and clear as a babies bum!
http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6049/6230188014_b780d322cf_b.jpg

Ok so i attatcked my headlights again with Mothers clay bar followed by Autosol metal polish then car polish, the results were much better again but i think its safe to say the rest of the 'fog' is on the inside of the lens which i think could be a mixture of SUN damage and the lights it self

CRYSTAL CLEAR when the lights are off
not best example

[Flippit]

As some of you may or may not know i got some Buddyclub N+ for the DC5 about 3 weeks ago. Want to lower the front a little more to fill the gap but don't want the car to nose dive either.

Need to also get camber bolts for the front so i can run more camber (probably when i buy rims)

[Mikecivic78]

Excellent photos, nice drop, looks good on stock rims. I prefer a slightly higher rear tho'. I esp. like the photoshopped pic with the DC2 and the huge garage door.

[Flippit]

Thanks mike! :)

14.8 down the quarter last night. Not too bad was hoping for a 14.5 though. Found out today i had a broken engine mount thus leaking oil everywhere!

Hope to go out once i have a exhaust, better tyres and a fixed mount.

Looking into getting hardrace solid mounts although i want to save for an exhaust my mate is selling to me which consists of Toda headers, toda cat and power getter catback, also getting his ep3 swaybar and injen CAIto replace my SRI. Should be good :)

[Mikecivic78]

nice vid

I lol'd at the dvd player, odd to see something like that on a drag car.

[GSi_PSi]

nice runs, you need to work on that launch though way too much wheel spin, ride the clutch a bit
what tyres were you using ? if street tyres , next time dont do a burnout

[Flippit]

lawll i wouldnt call it a drag car mike :D street car more like it!

some shitty cheapo tyres that came with the car. planning on getting some re002

i dont think im gettong to much wheel spin cause its not like its revving out to 8000 when i launch. id launch at about 4k and the revs would go to about 5 then start moving from there. cause you can still here vtec kick in after i launvh so the revs arent high enuf to be spinning if you get what i mean?

[GSi_PSi]

Your wheel hopping way too much, probably cause of the shitty tyres. Just keep practising out there and your times will drop as you progress, the 3rd gear is a bit of a pain to get in ay lol

[Flippit]

shitty tyres but more also the soft engine mounts. i also noticed the last run when i let the tyres down i got less wheel hop!
yeah lmao 3rd is a bitch to get sometimes

[Demanius]

Nice car :) nice run.

[Flippit]

Nice car :) nice run.

Thanks mate :)

Put a new aftermarket mount in for now, car feels so much better!

[GSi_PSi]

What Settings did you have the coilovers on>? always soften up the front and stiffen the rear, will help a lot with your wheel hop

[Flippit]

So i've painted my rocker cover wrinkle red and my manifold cover black annnddd my sparkplug cover silver like the jdm ones. Should I leave it silver or take it back to black??

I've just sat it in my engine bay then photoshopped it to get the idea
Silver
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7163/6618781715_9f9e53c8c5_z.jpg
Black
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7149/6618786409_f119c7ee55_z.jpg

[bboyzell]

my vote is to leave it silver, it looks so much better than black. but that is my personal taste

[GU357]

i like it black its more customised

[Flippit]

found a photo on clubrsx of a members setup, black it is

^Forced induction^???

[onetwo]

I like it with black on black yo! Though, it's up to you. Looks good either way so don't fret! haha

[Flippit]

So finally all back together. Looks tops i love the red with black. Painted a couple small things in the engine bay black. Slowly slowly its coming together nicely!

Paint Job came out pretty good for wrinkle paint can! Few spots didn't actually wrinkle but other than pretty happy with the outcome.

Aftermarket clear indicators done today.

What a stuff around for such a small mod. Had to cut the clip so it would flex as it was solid connected to the housing where as the OEM are seperate and flex. Then i had to file down the other side of the housing to fit. Also the lens came off so i had to re-seal and glue it on oh and also the globe housing only had 2 cutouts for it to fit where as OEM has 4 so also had to squeeze that in.

2min job turned into 15 but ahh well looks sweet!

thankkkkks :)

i may do a minor wire tuck but nothing to crazy. dont feel like splicing and extending wires :(

[Flippit]

So removed front bar ready for installtion of Injen CAI and some white/blue Narva Gloves. Was going to do HID's but might just put that off for now.
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7031/6677027287_8e203e88d0_z.jpg

While the front bar was off and was waiting for mate to drop off the Injen I decided to polish up the plastic surrouns of the foglight cover hole and also repaint the mesh as it had seen better days.
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7020/6677051443_ef74039ecb_z.jpg

Before the accident my condensor was black, they put a silver one on and although yeah it looked like a intercooler from far (lol) I wanted it black again to make the front end look tidy again.

Injen almost installed
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7173/6677038057_f0543aee0f_z.jpg

And final engine bay shot. Looks really empty now, thinking of mounting a catch can to the strut tower there, maybe some braided lines, fill up the engine bay and make it look dressy, nice strut brace later down the track should also look sweet. :)
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7002/6677046945_fcf3c63b22_z.jpg

Next on the list is full exhaust which is toda headers, toda cat, powergetter catback hopefully late January - mid february.

Ebay breather filter, more so got this so I could remove the hose going from the cover to the injen and not so much for the looks, although looks pretty cool too I guess.
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/6838963639_e2f670fb0c_z.jpg

ordered this spacer which should be here soon, its for the secondary O2 sensor which has thrown up a engine light, Read all over the net and Adrian from Toda told me it should do the trick, if not I'll have to get a new O2 sensor.

What do the socks do?

What do the socks do?

Originally there were for track racing to prevent leaked fluid going on the track surface,say from boiled brake fluid etc.

But now theyre more a fashion item

Thanks bro! Can't wait till your build thread starts kicking off, already know it will be epic!
JDM Coin holder can be found on HERE (http://www.icbmotorsport.com/jdmindc5tyrc.html)

Engine covers as in the plastics ivtec or the actual rocker cover?
Plastics I scuffed them up, plastic primered the heat proof black.
Rocker cover i Scuffed it back and used VHT Wrinkle Red, then let it dry infront of heater for 24 hrs regularly turning it, still was fresh after that and fragile so i carefully bolted it back to the car and drove the car around which baked it nicely!

sleek engine bay man! nice work!

this computer even has a hard time playing a youtube video without stuttering. sigh.

[IDV8]

Time for a new one? :D

I tried one of those DIY kits from Autobarn for my lights, no idea how they got so foggy - didn't do a very good job, the sand paper wasn't labeled which made it harder (not too experienced to be honest). Been trying to get ahold of a guy from Touch Up Guys who restore headlights, hoping he can bring it to brand new standards because cloudy headlights really ruin a clean front.

[GU357]

yeh, go to your local auto shop and try find a product arnd 30bucks it has some speal about nano sealant technology.
thats the jizz :thumbsup:

Thats all for now!
Spark plugs coming soon, new secondary o2 sensor and thats it for awhile. Unless something pops up :)

[Flippit]

So nothing much been happing recently just couple of small parts

New Spark Plugs
Mu Secret 6k HID's
New Secondary O2 Sensor with Harness extension
3rd set of New Genuine Honda Headlights

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7070/6894976244_48a2d5e65d_z.jpg

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7198/6894977544_7b84769154_z.jpg

Installed the new Secondary o2 sensor and proper extension harness (old one was cut and lengthened) hoping it would remove CEL. Unfortunately it didn't work even with a angled defouler on it. I have purchased a second defouler awaiting on arrival will install this one also and see if the CEL turns off, heard sometimes 2 or even 3 defoulers are needed to restrict the air flow.

Car was getting hesitation and spluttering at low revs on half throttle. Changed spark plugs and it did the trick :)
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7197/7041076053_0393ffd878_z.jpg

Removed front end again today (so over it) install HID's and new headlights. Will see if these headlights build up condensation like the last 2 sets bloody honda!

ooh camber bolts, if you ask for a bit of extra negative camber it makes the car stick to the road so well! and cornering is so light because less tyre on the road. all this at the price of wearing out the rubber. still good stuff.

feels nice! Just need better tyres now! but in the middle of deciding going 4 pot front calipers which means i'd have to get rid of the stockies, get 17's with good tyres for track and then my 18's for hard parking :D ohhhhhh decisions!

Thanks man :)

yeh i know the feeling. btw in dry weather u should do a sharp brake test to make sure the camber bolts dont slip under pressure. do it in a safe environment tho. because if they give way in a emergency u dont want ur wheels flopping about!
and imo go 17" to me and most ppl feel that 18" is for ppl that think bigger= better. seems too showy imo.

Update:

Purchased a set of rims and put some new rubber on them
Koyo Drifteks, Front - 17x9 +35, Rear - 17x8+34
Tyres - Bridgestone Adrenalin's RE002 - 225/45/17

Got room now for brembo's ... :)

Would of preffered having 9" wide all around but they came up with staggerd tyres for quite cheap so purchased them and put decent rubber. Still need an alignment but sits at perfect height!

Today I received a full wheel alignment at BT motorsports. I was able to achieve a max of 2.4 degree of camber at front from 1 camber bolt per side and buddyclub n+. perfect amount, no scrubbing at all and handles awesome!

Rear was pretty good already, front was clearly way out from install of camber bolts and new wheels. Here is Alignment settings :

A : Keep them red with white brembo
B : Silver with Black Brembo
C : Go something totally different, but has to match orange wheels.

Nah not yet, I still need to buy a new primary sensor! :( Just reminded me i might do that next!

Got the lip from the states on ebay. its a 2006-2007 STI lip, lines up pretty good just need to cut ends. they come with screws but we bolted mine in, 15 bolts later the front bar would come off before that lip would rip off aahha!

[Flippit]

Forgot to add :

When i stripped the rear interior to install strut brace I got carried away and took off tail lights and thought I'd change the gaskets now and save my self from a pond boot later. They were not leaking but rather be safe then sorry...got carried away so took the whole rear bumper off for a good clean!

so today went out to incar racing again to get another power run to see what the main differences were with the exhaust and intake. Although I could feel it mid range i wanted to see some numbers and graphs ahah!

Green Line - Stock K20A2 with Injen SHORT RAM
Red Line - Stock K20A2 with Toda headers, toda cat, powergetter catback & Injen CAI!

Although the final figure of 122kw is barely different to the old run, the mid range power and torque is majorly different, more useable power! power mods it stops here, eventually KPRO & tune and maybe intake manifold with bigger TB.

Pretty happy :)

hmm with the extra exhaust flow i thought the power would have been modified more up high. maybe go for an even bigger bore?
ahaha, the torwue increase is pretty good, shame the power isnt much more.

yeah well the high rpm/top end power figure is not really a concern cause you see the power is more throughout the whole rev range and at the last say 500 rpm's is where it evens outs.

[GU357]

thats true, street driving is more suited to a torquey mid range.

Thats excellent gains, can see 15kw increase in some of the midrange. Definately get a Kpro + tune which will see you making the most of the I/H/E you have installed
any idea on your choice of tuner?

exactly what i was discussing today with the owner of the shop, the mid range increase is anywhere from 3 -15kw which is quite an improvement and power delivery is much better. Just wondering now if the heavier and bigger 17's would have effected the dyno run?

the workshop i go to is possibly investing in hondata as they do power fc's, nistunes, haltechs you name it, very good tuner so hopefully by the time im ready for kpro they will do mine.

if not second option would be insight motorsport most likely.

Not much going on recently,

Still waiting for Brembos to come back from being professionally painted. Hopefully end of this week.

Painted my wheels with Plastidip blue, I originally wanted orange but in Australia they don't sell orange in a pressure can only in 4L tins.
I'm 50/50 with this color of choice, I've purchased some fluoro orange paint to put OVER the plastidip and i'll see if i like that. If not i'll peel it all off and leave it black.

[Flippit]

i gotta say i like the blue.

my interior is all black.

[GU357]

ahh would be cool if you had the blue recaros too. but still very nice.

[Indie]

Not much going on recently,

Still waiting for Brembos to come back from being professionally painted. Hopefully end of this week.

Painted my wheels with Plastidip blue, I originally wanted orange but in Australia they don't sell orange in a pressure can only in 4L tins.
I'm 50/50 with this color of choice, I've purchased some fluoro orange paint to put OVER the plastidip and i'll see if i like that. If not i'll peel it all off and leave it black.Where did you get the plastidip from, and how much was it?

i bought it direct from supplier

[Indie]

Cheers guys.

[curtis265]

WOW loving the plastidip!

How much does that stuff cost?

[Flippit]

WOW loving the plastidip!

How much does that stuff cost?

Cost about $35 a can :)

[Indie]

Cost about $35 a can :)Such a rip-off compared to the U.S. price, but I'll probably still cave in and grab a can.

[Flippit]

Such a rip-off compared to the U.S. price, but I'll probably still cave in and grab a can.

Tell me about it!!

I have 1 full can of blue left if you like $30 as i won't have any use for it! Leme know :)

[curtis265]

How many cans did you need?

[Flippit]

How many cans did you need?

i used 2 full cans and half another can to do 4 rims 7 or 8 light coats. Not inside of rim just facia.

[Mr.PT]

did you get a smooth texture?

[Indie]

Tell me about it!!

I have 1 full can of blue left if you like $30 as i won't have any use for it! Leme know :)Thanks mate, but I'm thinking white. The blue looks pretty good, though. You had to use 2.5 cans for 4 rims!? Fark, I was expecting one can to do four rims with some to spare! I'm re-thinking now.

[Flippit]

did you get a smooth texture?

Its a veryy grippy/sticky weird
finish. It looks smooth but when you touch it, its exactly ljke the grips on tools.





Thanks mate, but I'm thinking white. The blue looks pretty good, though. You had to use 2.5 cans for 4 rims!? Fark, I was expecting one can to do four rims with some to spare! I'm re-thinking now.

Yesh i think 3 cans is plenty, i could have used probably one more coat. If your doing inside of the rim well loke where the weights stick then ud need 4-5 cans

[GU357]

the feeling is kinda like a rubbery plastic, the stuff is commonly used for insulating tools and stuff.

so it should dry smooth but to the finger will feel rubberish.

[curtis265]

i used 2 full cans and half another can to do 4 rims 7 or 8 light coats. Not inside of rim just facia.

WOW that's a lot

[GU357]

WOW that's a lot

it is alot, considereing ive seen ppl cover there whole bonnet with 3!

[Flippit]

Well with rims you get a lot of 'wasted paint' compared to a bonnet.

When spraying the insides of the spokes id say 50% of the spray is missed and floats away, you can't spray too close or else you will get runs easily from this paint.
Where as a bonnet is massively flat and you don't necessarily 'miss'.

[GU357]

yeh i know, but never the less its still a lot to cover some rims, in comparison to a bonnet.

[Flippit]

Photos before i take the orange and blue off and back to black and clean! Enjoyed it, took photos, now over it :)

[Flippit]

but the orange is so gewd

but its not clean :)

Haven't had a good update in awhile so heres one to keep you entertained!

Decided to plasti-dip my wheels Light blue (originally wanted orange). Turned out ok, it grew on me but I still wanted orange so i purchased some basic fluro orange paint and painted on top of the plasti-dip thinking it would still just peel off....well I was wrong ahah!

Rocked the blue and orange for a little while then reverted back to black, Put on my brembos and now my exterior is complete me thinks! (besides a mugen rear lip ONE day)

Also finally ordered a New Primary Denso O2 sensor and got rid of that CEL light WOOP!!
Put some red SR4's in also !

Blue wheels represented @ The Lowdown Showcased!

Matt black wheels due to brake dust! JDM brembos with stock lines and rotors, pulls up damn good!
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8031/7970097634_509489ea9a_c.jpg

Overall Honda Nationals was pretty damn awesome!
Minor set back, after first passenger session relised I had a nail in my tyre on the edge. Took the safe choice and headed back to Goulburn's local tyre shop to have the tyre removed, fixed and sealed from inside then re fitted!
No dramas since and has been awesome!

Best time today was a 1:13.88. Very happy with my time and still needs some tweaks!
After today I now know i need to :
Raise the rear
Purchase larger rear sway bar
next set of tyres need to be 235, 225 on 9" = stretch which compromises handling
more track time

Hopefully some pictures start floating around of my car on the track so i can throw them up here!

Speaking to Andrew he thinks 1:12's and 1:11's is not far off with a couple of small tweaks and bit more practice! Definitely psyched up now!

[Flippit]

Before the Honda Nationals track day (when i say before i meen day before) the brother and I put in my Hardrace Engine mounts which were awesome! Minimal vibrations and more power to the floor!

Tonight I put in my JDM DC5 Cluster. For those that don't know the difference.
Redline Increase
0-180 instead of 0-260
Type R logo on Kms side.

Thats all....until tomorrow, Stay tuned :)

So another update, I purchased a set of Blackworks lower control arms and Beaks bar off a fellow ClubITR member for quite cheap. Purple was not my IDEAL color but hey it still looks pimp!
My car is quite low lol so I don't know if it will even be visible from the rear but meh!

Out with the old, in with the new!

Need to get another alignment now since coming off the track & install of above. sourcing a JDM rear swaybar, can get it new from the States but postage is $144 more than the part it self!

improve on your 60 footers and you will see the time drop slightly.

maybe give a go on the steering when dropping a burnout, go side to side abit more

with that acceleration pushing the rear of your car down more it looks like u need to lift the back up, make it firmer. and if the front still pulls up lower it, and maybe even try softer settings.
just a thought.

i just remembered something from motorsport course.

I like it how you take care of your car, I like to do the same. Personally I find a low bum unusual above all things, I like a car to have equal height, or slightly raised rear.

Problem is cars like Type R, S15, WRX (insert sub 45k car here) are cheap performance cars, so people rarely take care of them. 80k+ Euros will most likely be garaged, well serviced, barely driven and taken care of, but a DC5r will most likely be thrashed, never serviced due to the young owner having debts or no money, and the paintwork will usually be farked due to parking on the street (garage full because share-house). Takes ages to find a truly clean one, but that's all part of the fun.

Most have high ks because they are DD. I don't know anyone that owns a DC5 or equivalently priced car and barely drives it.

Yeah you right in saying that! But im the sort of person even if it was a $3000 charade I'd still have it clean/spotless and fix any flaws cause thats just how I am! I'm going to drop the front 5mm-10mm, see how it sits, if still sunken at back then raise rear. Your bloody lucky to have purchased it at such low kms keeping it pristine :)

LAWL get to keep the kms down atleast, valuable lesson learnt too! :o

Nothing major but today at work during lunch break I put the car up on the Hoist and put some exhaust heat wrap around the headers where It sits next to the rear engine mount, just to stop heat attacking the mount and hardening/cracking the rubber. Probably wouldn't happen anyway but better to be safe than sorry!
Just wish I did this prior to install!

Small update :
Managed to pick up some BF Series Defi Gauges with Defi Link in white (wanting to swap someone for red) from work, Got them hooked up and running nicely, just waiting on Oil temp sensor adaptor should be here soon. Found a Defi water temp adaptor for radiator hose for like $15 so was cheering!

Found a JDM rear bar on Ebay pretty cheap from QLD, rang and bargained them a little. Nek minut (3days) it was at my door! Whilst this was on its way, My Mugen rep rear lip was also on its way (along side with a mugen front lip which I'm selling off)

Being a replica rear lip the fitments was not as good as i liked, even after the body shop had painted and fitted it for me it required some heating up with the gun and re-shaping and im about 95% happy with how it sits now! Few more touch ups here and there!

Big thanks to Alex (plathingg) for helping me out with info i needed and motivating me to modify the rear bar as pictured below.

So here it is at my house, first thing was removing the rear lip and putting it up for sale, money back woop, mock up numberplate location and had to modify the plate so it would fit snug!

Now, the JDM plate being a much taller plate you don't see that big hole above my numberplate, Alex(plaything) brought this to my attention and forced me to fix it which I'm glad I did as it look 100x better!
So found a flat plastic piece which I could use as a base, glued and sealed it to the bumper, clamped down and let it dry!

Once this was done I sanded away some paint so the fibreglass and body filler would stick le-good!

Didn't get any photos of whilst fibreglassing as its a messy ass job (and itchy) But this is an after photo with the powder which helps it set, little did i know when it sets it heats up...alot!

The standard side skirts don't look too bad with the mugen rear lip TBH! I will eventually get mugen side skirts.
Enjoy:

Great photos, and the car is lookin nice as always. Dunno what DC5 Mugen skirts look like, but the ones you have on look good IMO.

Thank You Mike :)

Not much of an update but,

After Honda Nationals last year I knew my front lower control arm bushes were cracked, left it and attended powercruise. On the Friday (dry day) could feel the car swaying and dipping when turning right, ass end would come out knew it was time to change the bushes.

When pulled out this is what happened to the bush...fell straight out

Pressed them out at home and painted up

Purchased hardrace hardened replacement bushes from JDMYARD installed and feeling much better just need a new wheel alignment!

looks awesome, much work to get the o5-06 mugen rear lip to fit on 02-04 rear bumper?

The panel beater shop did most of the work for me, and then i had to get a heat gun and mould it a bit better to flow with the bumper nicely, bit more to do on it still.


Took the car out to Wakefield for the Circuit Club Anzac day Track day.
I went there in hope of getting into the 1:12's whilst my PB was currently sitting at 1:13.8

Car felt good besides the back brakes being pretty stuffed after first session, they were already on their way out so knew this was a problem. First session had already beaten my PB, only just but with a 1:13.6.

Second session was too much traffic and only managed 1 decent lap...to my suprise it was exactly as session one being a 1:13.6

Third session again too much traffic and i thought this was the end of my day, Noticed Group B's session was quite empty, so I asked to jump on, My last chance to better my PB, couple laps in had BYP's S2000 pretty close up behind me which pushed me harder, about 4th lap i got a 1:13.4 and 2nd last lap pushed even harder clipping the ripple stripping up on 2 wheels which scored me a 1:13.1....So close to the 1:12 I wanted to achieve but None the less still beat my PB and was happy to call it a day.

Unfortunately I didn't get my 1:13.1 on camera as my gopro's battery died but I did get one of my 1:13.6's on camera.
next time I head out i need to dial in more camber at the front (2.1degree currently) and these RE002's 225's are just not cutting it no more, once they are worn out I think 235/40 AD08's are on the agenda which will need ride height adjustment :(

For now, video.
