Yeah I went through that stage, take the car to a racetrack and go sick!! I am sure you will change your mind. If you just wanna street race in a straight line, maybe you should sell it and buy a nissan like every other 1/4 mile wanna be..
:eek:

hehe...don't think i'l sell it for a nissan...i'l see how it goes after i change the exhaust and manifold...its mostly cause i hear the stock sound which is for some reason is like the engine is really stressed sounding...its not growling like it should be... =)

[bigteethygrin]

theres alot of potential in a dc5r to get extra power out of it.. dont worry if stock isnt enough.. search these forums and you'll find plenty of ideas

I know what you mean there too, but this is how a stock DC5 sounds like on a track...Click! (http://practical-innovations.com.au/stuff/sidewayz.wmv) :eek:

hehe...Great video Nick
...some people have noticed a drop in power in the lower rev ranges after they fitted an aftermarket exhuast...
just be careful which ones you get
DC5 were never really fast cars...unless you go nuts on mods

Gonna get an exhaust this weekend...thinkin of the Fujitsubo...which ones should i stay away from? :confused:

[Tofu]

um...anyone one of them is fine
if you wanted to go more elaborate, you could always get Maxim Works, Amuse, or Kakimoto...
but they are rare
it's just up to what you are looking for....exhaust don't have too much difference in performance, just sound it makes

my cousin rekons i had a drop in low-end power after i fitted my JDM DC5R exhaust. but if you think the DC5R is bad, try the auto :p

[bigteethygrin]
