Sorry mate, i don't have my car at the moment. Just use a tiny drill bit, and make a hole that's only a couple of mms. You can remove the lights and drill on the bottom if you're worried about it being visible, or you can just do it where it's (barely) visible. There's no real method to it, just any tiny holes to allow built up moisture/condensation to escape will do the trick. Sorry I can't get a picture, but you can't really go wrong.Quote:

Ha, just don't drill too deep! Really, the plastic is a few mm thick, so just drill slowly, and as soon as you feel the drill has gone all the way through, stop. There aren't any wires in the light itself, they all lead out the back. All there is inside the light housing is the globes, which are easily avoided. Just use a tiny drill bit, and drill a couple of holes. It's dead easy. ;)Quote:

Yeah we all know the GT-R, EVO, RX7 etc can push out monster power, but there is so much potential the DC2 Type-R has to offer. Have you ever driven a boosted B18C7 on the street? Not many cars can keep up or would even suspect it can burn them. I'd rather own a Boosted DC2R than a GT-R. That's just me.Quote:

I no longer have anything I dislike about my Integra.. Car is no longer in limp mode :)
I don't see the point in driving a track car on the street.
There should be no such thing as a street weapon.
For the street looks, sound and comfort are the most important things imo. Obviously power is fun but there is really know point in having an aweful lot unless you take it to the track, which most asswipes don't.
Dislike: that it started burning a bit of oil and giving out a bit of smoke on the high end :(
gotta fork out $800 for valve seals... *sigh*
Stock AUDM DC5R definitely does not have enough power.
Also, needs larger brakes, maybe should have kept the JDM brembo ones on the AUDM DC5R!

how they're front wheel drive
LOL @ nuggetR
lol i want a turn =)
-Front wheel drive (understeer, but hey i kinda learnt how to deal with that, i drop my nut less to understeer then oversteer >< still love rwd though)
-I have no vtec to hear (my solenoid needs fixing/replacing)
-Noises while driving
-My Si-Vtec is only 4 lug >.> i like 5 bug oh wells
-Im over it (but slowly getting back into my car >.>)
-Its silver
-Its not a type R
-Ricer cliche
-If som1 sits in the rear left seat for too long apparently their asses feel wet....
-Makes me want to corner hard... even with bald wheels
-Stock height yet SiVtec lip still scrapes on some dips and driveways etc
-Antenna dont work
-Needs 6th gear, just for the fun of it and highway, always thinking abt putting it into 6th to realise i cant becoz its reverse >.>
Now some good comments:
- Even though its an NA and does not make much power, its pretty quick i reckon as it is light, it has some modding potential and this is all motor, i dnt believe in turboing an NA vtec engine but it will cost a shitload
- It might not be a weapon unless you turbo it compared to nissans rb26 or toyotas 2jz but with some slight mods, it will and have seen it beat or keep up with some turbo cars like a gtst etc
- Its fun to drive and revs high
- It was cheap and i dont mind pouring money into it as a 1st car to learn about it, sure its not a type r, im sure with a shitload of money its possible to make it handle like one or close (dont want dc2r owners to flame me) but its a 1st car, i didnt want it to be expensive i wanted it to be a nice daily with some kicks and i dont plan to mod it hardout i just want to do simple bolt on modifications to have more fun factor, ill buy a mean turbo machine after =)
- Its not an egg civic =)
- I dont get called "Asian civic boi" (in asian accent)
- Its an Si-Vtec, not as common as vtirs, and just behind the type r
- Heck its my 1st car, sure i got over it after a few months but realising there were problems arising in the car before i wanted to sell it made me more inclined to keep it and fix it and then mod it for fun
- It aint no cheapy GLi Lancer with dragon stickers in automatic made to look like F@F cars, im happy it does not make 69kw at the fly like they do coz imagine at the wheels >.>
- Appreciate what you have instead of what you dont, work for what you dont have later =)
How quiet it is below 4 or 5k rpm
The constant beeping when i insert the key, it's more annoying then the beeping in my Honda Jazz
The 5 seconds of beeping when i start the engine. (is this a problem?)
nope it's meant to remind you to put your seat belt on. you can stop the beeping from happening by reaching under the seat and unplugging the wire to the buckle.
Oh God, the ****ing BEEPING!
Plus, it's not an Audi A5.
I disconnected that wire from under the drivers side seat, sooo much better.
Dislike the fact that it understeers, has no power, and it doesn't clean itself.
Funny my brother's '98 DC4 beeps when your belt isn't on but I don't think it's loud or annoying at all compared to how my EH9 was. But I removed my seat and unplugged that damned wire so now I can prime my fuel lines in peace while I do my belt up :)
dc4...may i say more?
bought 225/50/16 tyres on my 16x7 35+ rims...cant F***ING lower it anymore...
Then why didn't you go 205?
didnt have the money...Quote:

Kinda funny that you passed roadworthy with those tyres as that size is illegal for your car. Then again, roadworthys are all dodgy, there only use is toilet paper.Quote:
