Civic Type-R Owners Club & Forum

I have now sold my EP3 that I owned for 3 & half years & now own a DC5 championship white in mint condition. Been looking for one for the last 6months & finally found a perfect one viewed it & was perfect. These are the pics from the add but will be posting some new ones this weekend [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Spec:
* 2002 ‘52’ DC5 ITR
* 2.0L i-VTEC DOHC (K20)
* Championship White
* 80K FSH
* HPI Clear
* 6 Speed Gearbox
* Xenon Headlights
* Red Recaro’s, Red door cards and Red Carpet
* Red Genuine Honda Type R Overmats
* Full Electrics (as standard)
* Tinted rear 3 windows
* Air Con
* Brembo Brakes (callipers not faded)
* New front brake pads
* Full stainless steel exhaust with Decat
* Carbon fibre Tegiwa airbox
* Eibach Lowering springs
* Skunk2 Gear Knob
* Wheels powder coated and wrapped in near new Hankook tyres
* Fully undersealed (unlike alot out there)
* Cobra Cat 1 alarm/immobiliser

There was a new Exedy clutch fitted less then 500 miles ago including a gearbox rebuild with new second gear so as you can imagine, the expensive gearbox issue has been sorted

Well he gave me the option when I got there for the tegiwa or the standard so I laughed & says course the Tegiwa man his mate is the manager there apprently

Very smart love it
I own an ep3 had it for near 3 years thinking of upgrading to a dc5 look smart as rair to see them and I can transfer most of my mods from the ep
Is it worth the swap is the car much different?

hoping to get mine tomorrow ^^

Does the DC5 have a longer wheelbase than the EP3?

Cheers bro :bigthumb: the difference is unreal!! I owned my ep3 for nearly four years & I can't find one thing that the ep3 is better than the dc5!! The driving position is brilliant, the comfort of the drive is so much better, the power & handling is noticeable as soon as u drive one!! Not a lot would think it but the dc5 is a massive upgrade from the ep3!!
