Is that the purple one with spot lights? $18k seemed like a lot for a car that was so polarising as far as taste was concerned. I'd love an Alpina White one wiith BBS rims, Recaros, decked with ITBs.
Hell no! It's really important to keep the servicing up to date though. The timing belt service is expensive but critical. They're actually very reliable bar the 172/182 having a few gearbox issues.
Agreed. Cult status in Europe. Very popular as the Lutecia in Japan, but here they are lurker a amongst enthusiasts. Anyone who considers themselves a true hot hatch aficionado acknowledges their...
Yet more proof that they are the buy of the century. You can pick one up for the same price as an 03-04 DC5. Cups are a little more but get the Brembos, Cup chassis and Recaros.
Something about making the ugliest car they have ever dreamed of. Good on them for succeeding. I still expect plenty of these to cut me off in Eastwood/Epping area.
I think Honda couldn't give two hoots about this survey. They used to be number 4 in Australia for sales volume. They are now number 8. That's what they really care about.
Fuel starvation will be the biggest issue, if any. Just get out there and have fun, but most of all be safe. No car will work if you put it into a wall. :)
You can't make the call if you can't measure it. Invest in an oil temp gauge and oil cooler. At Superlap just gone I ran 110-115 C for a whole session with no problems. Oil viscosity will be a factor...
Yes, it's the same. Facelift front bumpers and headlights are the only difference. They can be swapped together but not seperately. Headlight plugs are different between pre and post facelift though.
I disagree. It depends when he checked them. If it was before he started a session chances are they got even higher. If it was after a session I'd drop the fronts by 2 psi and raise the rears by 4psi...
In Japan the DC2 is considered a very old car now. Tuners don't really do anything with them anymore. The K20 powered DC5 is a far superior car and when modded is better again. Sure, the DC2 has...
My car dyno'd stock at 114kw atw to 126kw atw with Toda headers, Fujitsubo Power Getter and Injen CAI to 142kw atw with K Pro and tune. The K Pro and tune cost less than the other mods did. But in...
It's all crap. At Mercedes Benz we don't offer any paint protection products. Mercedes Benz use a ceramic paint which doesn't require any sealant or coating to retain it's colour. After working in...
