Are you in Peterborough because I saw a black DC2 with similar wheels the other morning, it looked good.

huntingdon, just down the road. doubt it was me though, i only got back home the day i got it about 4pm.

gonna give it a wash tomorrow and change the wheels back to OE wheels(better handling and accel). then ill get some pics. so far, i bloody love it. when vtec kicks in, its simply brilliant. the noise goes like- loud,louder,MENTALLY LOUD AND HUGE KICK IN POWER.

For some real intake noise, go for a drive with the top of the airbox removed. Never got round to trying it myself in the short time I had a 'teg, but its supposed to sound superb. Probably best to wait till the weather improves a bit and there's less muck on the roads though...

Ohhh Yeahhh!!!


The airbox lid thing - really makes a difference, borderline TOO loud on stock breathing. But sounds VERY cool...never heard a 4-pot sound better!!! Also not recommended for long distances on public roads - can pick up more crap in the filter, reduce it's life/effectiveness. Oh, and you lose a good few hp as the air it sucks in is hotter.

Have you ever driven a DC2? I drove an FTO and my own DC2 back to back and there really is no comparison, to compare them is like comparing a beetle to a GT3 because they are both rear engined.
