iVtec is a generic term honda uses, i think every honda has a ivtec badge on the engine :p

i would suggest either ABP or VBP, the eternal blue is too dark,
and i think the VBP is the nicer colour tbh and i have a ABP DC5R

ah not easily/cheaply if at all, would be much much simpler to buy the type s,

really should be called vtec-e as its designed for economy rather than power, it runs on 12 valves and switches to 16 at vtec...

try clicking the "remember me" box when u log in, or when it asks u again to log in.

IMO remove the reaar mid wing and the bonnet, maybe CF bonnet and it will look pretty good as is.

dun listen to him, cant see the pic but is that your car in your avatar?

this section here pretty much finished the article for me, i know most reviewers base their articles on the specsa of the cars (im in the AV industry so i see this far too...

hrm sounds fairly normal for the DC5R, the engine mounts arent particularly stiff so the engine does mover around quite a bit. and also 2000rpm is very low really so the engine will take a bit to get...
