Hi DreXeL

No mate not at all bothered, becuase I personally think it was too hot in there... and heres why

I didn't get to take my car until after 7pm and on the way home the temp dropped outside a little. I was driving back with my friend, Jason Love who also has a DC5, I came with him to Powerstation, you may of saw his white DC5 outside..

We was on the A419 with a nice clear run ahead so we got side by side in 6th gear at around 4,000 rpms... we both dropped to 5th and by the time my VTEC kicked in I was about half of my car a head of him, and then once the TEC kicked in I was gone... in fact I was in the inside lane and I was able to pull in front of him and put a nice gap between us...

So either his car is also really down on power (which I know it isnt as his was rolled when he bought his car (3 months ago) and he was getting 209bhp or because it was so hot in there I was losing loads of power .. which it was very hot in there on that Thursday..

So no mate I am not bothered at all ... All I know is so far I have burnt a CTR, with me being 2 up .. me and the misses in the car... and whilst in Holland this weekend I have had battles with many fast cars and have had no problems keeping up...

But thanks for your thoughts and yes it's a great car..

Ps I told Iain and Kurtus about it and both want to roll it again as there was a Racing beemer that was rolled that day in the evening whilst I was waiting for my car to be finished and that too was down on power...

Just editied to ask whether you was there and saw them roll the car the 1st time with the other airbox on....??? the reason I ask is you are saying that I lost 20bhp which means the car was 209 bhp, well 209 is what Kurtus reckon is the DC5 standard bhp.. so if you wasn't there to see the 1st roll, that might be because they didnt really do a 1st roll and are just going by there standard figures... But if you where there and saw both runs then it is strange why it showed a big decrease... .. Oh well I will road it again and see mate..

I am going back to PS tomorrow (monday) so I will ask them to roll it before it gets to hot in there..

Ajax

Mkhan: Very nice, will you be taking it to JAE Billing on the Sunday, I got a bit confused over who said what in the posts.

Looks better than the Civic Type R

DreXeL

Mkhan: I was only there for one run, I don't know if they did one before. They said 'Tegs always dyno at 209bhp, that's why they said it had lost 20bhp. It was bloody hot as you say, that was probably a big factor. To be fair Powerstation's rollers are notorious for reading low compared to other rollers anyway.

Whatever the reason, it's a lovely car, enjoy it mate

Mark - doing fine mate! slumming it in Toronto for the next few years, with occasional trips back to blighty.

so, will the white beasty appear at a clang n ball? Now that would be a cat among the pideons

i've always liked the integra, but when i first seen this new style, i really liked it, but now i fekkin love it! even the idea of givin up me scoob goes through my mind!

beautiful car mate...enjoy it to the maximum! i'd love to have a drive of one, so hopefully i come across one at a meet i'm at or something!

Mkhan

Ajax, yes I surely will be going to the JAE.. I will be there on the Sunday..

DRB5, I don't really go to a lot meets anymore mate but if you are fairly local then I will meet you and take you out for a spin.. but once we hit that VTEC zone mate... be prepared to sell the scooby.

The only thing I will say mate is that it's not as moddable as the scooby.. I mean if you want to get extra power from it you have spend real big money ... But the car out of the box is bloody great, ok I have done some changes to mine but I wanted to be different, but mine is probably only a few bhp more than the standard one, but to me she flys... and everyone I have taken out in it has been surprised on how quick it is ..

Damn and I am stuck in the office today .. (

thanks anyway mkhan, but balloch is the other side of glasgow from you. i'd have loved a spin in it too. ohn well, maybe some day.

Mkhan

LOL that is a little far..

Jason L

ha ha Markie boy...

You forgot to say you were cheating in our 'little test' i.e. you were running about 102 RON fuel and you decided when we would go.. reactions and all that.... scallywag !!!

Still it sounds very cool read LOUD !!

Jason

Mkhan

cheating my eye LOL... you are just to slow on your reaction times hehehehhehe

come and get me sucker...

Jza

Very Very nice.. do they come in anything but white?

Jza

aha, but jza, do you not agree, that a white type-r is by far the most gorgeous colour it can possibly come in?!



it probably comes a few different colours though. silver, red, white, black and gunmetal i think.

Fullonloon

That's stunning, I love the look of it from the back and side but I think more could possibly be done with the front end to make it a little more agressive or sleek.

Can you get anyone in the back seats?

Q

smanning

you ponce

suits you sir

Mkhan

Jza yes it comes in Championship White, Black, Blue, red and silver

Fullonloon

Yes mate I had two people in the back all the way to Holland and back... the only problem they had was getting in and out.. LOL... they seemed ok ... its a little dark back there thou

I saw this car in person last night, and the pictures just don't do it justice. The car is superb, and when Mark gives her some stick down the roads, boy is that some noise!

Mate as I've said before (and will say again no doubt )- that's one top motor!

Mkhan

Thanks scotty .. I am glad you like ... now I have to turn you over to the dark side .......

GET A TEG MATE

Buzzer

Mkhan

That is without doubt the nicest looking car (inside and out) that i have ever seen

I can say that i think EVERYTHING is perfect, well balanced and weighted. You must have a grin from ear to ear whenever you see it or sit in it.

Oh yeah, if ever look to sell it let me know

mutant_matt

Nice work Mark - I was chatting with SJRich recently about how much a fan of the DC5 I am since Iain Lit took me round Donno last National Day in his race spec one!!!!

Matt

Mkhan

Matt you would love it .. its light and fast and needs both hands on the wheel to control it

Buzzer.. the only thing I will change is the exhaust as its too loud and I doubt I will be able to get on track with it... it does sound the bollocks on full chat thou

mutant_matt

Mark,

I know - that's why I said I do

I'm sticking with my STi for the foreseeable future but you never know, if I need to save some money.... (and it would make a perfect Ring tool too )

Matt
