it was only a matter of time before i was back in a honda :lol: the s14 is staying but i wanted a daily that i can still enjoy driving, and this seemed to fill that space, never been a fan of the dc2 but this came up as a swap for my accord type-s and the money the 98 spec is selling for seemed to be a good deal, and i must say the car has grew on me massively, great car to drive, even though the refinement is horrendous compared with the newer accord it replaces, but once you get used to the rattles and noise again you enjoy it for what it is..

plans now are to tidy up interior, get it back to as near as new condition as possible, fix all the rattles etc, j's racing backbox, ram air intake, good brake pads, maybe a ramhorn manifold, and alignment then enjoy it on the track then see if ill sell or continue spending money on it lol
 
My mates old car, looks better now they wheels are white! Got a video of this on the rolling road somewhere as was at the dyno day, such an agressive crossover!
 
Yeh, it does have an aggressive vtec changeover but that's not really a good thing as it's missing mid range power, going to change the exhaust, manifold and intake then get it mapped
 
Lovely example and great wheel choice! :D

I keep seeing all these cool DC2's everywhere, it's making me want another one!

Yeah it was the most aggressive of the day, but did make the most power of the two dc2s and seemed to be fueling well etc from what the lad who runs the dyno said. I mean my ek9 is pretty aggressive but don't think it's down on power but sounds like a good plan mate!
