Guest stylesa Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hi all, Im Adrian, currently the owner of a modified DC5. I have had the Supra itch for quite some time now....thinking it may just be getting close to the time to scratch it! Thought there would be no better place to look than on here...need to get myself familiarised with whats good and whats not.... im not used to the world of forced induction.... much to learn. Seeing posts like 1280 euros for a set of tyres does scare me a little though! Just thought i would say hello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Very pretty car that, I'll never know why Honda never released them over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 From a fellow Integra owner, welcome to the forum Nice looking DC5 there. You're right about the costs I'm afraid though, I spend far less on the DC2 than I ever did on the Supra. Nice EK9 as well, is that yours? More pics if so please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazil Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) My previous car was also a DC5 very similar to yours. I only bought it of my brother in Aberdeen because he was moving back to Brazil and I was moving to Portugal. It was practical for both of us to do the exchange at the time. I really enjoyed the DC5 and miss it time to time, I only kept it for 6 months though before trading it in for the supra below. here is a Pic of my old DC5: Here is the pic of my Supra: You won't regret it, the engineering of the supra is fascinating and the possibilities for improvements are endless...!

gurteen0 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Welcome matey I must admit I like the DC5 myself anyway hope you stick around and get a Supra it's worth it without fail !!!!:d:d . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I always wanted a DC5 but worried that they would not be quick enough or have the build quality of the Supra. There are a few nice cars up for sale at the moment. December/Jan are the best months to buy if you want to get a bargain. When the sun comes back then good deals will be harder to find and won't hang around as long. Good luck with the search. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Lovely looking DC5 you have there. Where you based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stylesa Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys. The DC5 is a great car, it virtually has no running costs, handles fantastic and mine is 225bhp/ton, its no slouch in a straight line. obvioulsy not as quick as some of you guys tho. The EK9 isnt mine, but it has a 435bhp/320lbft 1.8L Turbo under the bonnet...its wow! I've been looking for a while now but im quite picky, i want a single/TT manual that looks relatively standard on the outside and has some engine mods, im not really into body kits and such like. Nothing really jumping out at me atm. Just have to keep looking...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I may have seen your DC5 around, its starting to look familiar. We ave some regular meets up in Aberdeen, just mates hanging around rather than the supra forum ones. Myself and MarcAB10 have supra's at these wee meets. Next one i'll give you a shout for and you can lets us look at that DC5. Will be mid january i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stylesa Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 It has been garaged for the last 2 months since the snow came on but it will make an appearance again soon. That'd be good cheers.... hopefully the snow doesnt come back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
