Well thought it was getting to that time were I'll spill the beans on what new car I've got,I was only going to be happy with a fresh import after the drama with my Jordan. I set about searching for a ek9 in japan with torque gt but there was nothing really came up that I'd go been happy with but held out for a couple of months and still couldn't find anything.
Started to widen my search looking into s2000 and similar honda's then I had a think and what I finally decided on was a facelift dc5...... Had to be a facelift to be that bit different from the rest, luckily torque had a couple in japan and after seeing the one I wanted I had to have her grade 4 with grade b interior. 70k miles,optional extra kit(very rare) and never been painted which I found very difficult when looking at ek9's. Immaculate in below and it's due in off the boat any day now so to say I'm excited is an understatement.
Have a couple of pics but there is some hideous wheels on it so I'll leave them pics out until I get my wheels on it haha the modding bug has hit me already and I've already bought a few bits already but still trying to sell my parts from my last car so won't buy to much until I get them away.
Will be a track focused car unlike 95% of dc5's and will have proper mods not the usual decked on coilovers and a dc sports exhaust so watch this space ;)
Couple of pics of it in japan,obviously need a good clean after sitting waiting on the boat :(
 
Nice one Phil, should be zero rust on that baby.

Looking at them myself for past 6 months and seen that Modulo kit on few, not fussed on the kit myself but something that is easy changed i suppose.

Keep the updates coming :nice:
