Hello All! After lots of months of waiting and hard work...


Sleeper Exterior Look...still getting my side skirts painted

 

That's hot. I want one in my DC4.

 

Thats sick. I had a black 7thgen that I sold a few months ago. If I could have come up with the money to do that swap I would have in a heart beat. And did the type R guages fit easily?

 

The guages did not fit immediately. The shop that did the swap had to modify the plastic surrounds and repint it to fit the guage cluster.

 

Omg!!! Perfect sleeper. Looks good

I don't know if I am just tired but does the motor look cocked a little? Or is it just me?

Anyways, props to you.

 

seems to rise up on the drivers side a little bit, More than likely just an optical illusion.

 

sLeePer!!!

 

I don't know, DC5-R wheels, DC5-R Brembo's, and 5 lugging it. That's not exactly what I call a sleeper.

Ok, it's a sleeper, NO HASPORT MOUNTS! I love you man! You're the only other person I've ever seen to do that!!! BIG from me!

Looks excellent!

Love your tires! Why not DC5-R Recaro's??

 

looks hot

 

Good job man, it should run well. Not exactly a sleeper though.

 

Very nice 4dr, even better motor. K20a

 

looks good ,,loving the k20a,,,in the 4dr ...

So a shop did your swap... if you don't mind, how much did that run you for the actual swap and then the tuning (if any was done)?

 

Congrats man...clean swap.

 

those rims look awsome

 

nice swap looks great job.
good luck man

good job

 

Car Looks Good. Another Fast Family Car. I would love to get my hands on something like this. What did this set you back?

 

Inside the Torn - A Shop did the swap - the parts and labor and tuning cost around $8500...done in the Philippines. Came with Engine, DC5 Wheels with Advan Neovas, DC5 suspension, DC5 Steering Wheel, DC5 Shift ****, DC2 seats, DC5 exhaust, Hondata K-Pro and 2 hours on the dyno for tuning.

k20whitevic - Yup...we had the front end of the DC5, and it has a metal mount that was spot welded on it form the factory...we took it off and spot welded it in the ES body. The entire frame below where the engine sits, is completely form the DC5 and bolted right into the ES body. The DC5 recaros was not there anymore in the shop...I think they sold it. I was given a discount on the parts becuase it did not have the seats...got the discount and asked from Type R seats from DC2.

Very good. Like I said, you're the only other person, besides myself that I've ever seen not using Hasport or Hybrid Racing mounts. The battery location, radiator, overflow.. they're perfect! I'm glad your shop didn't overlook those details, making it look so much better, and that it actually belongs there! Once again, BIG from me!

 

I love it!

 

damn that this is sick. Clean swap, perfect, looks like it came from the factory like that

 

thats really nice man, i wish i had gotten the brembos... arg... anyways, i think you should look for some silver dc5 rims, it will look so much sleeperish...

 

Nice, so you really got the whole kit-n-kabootle for 8,500 total. Sounds like you even got a deal with all the extras thrown in.

One more

Agreed. If they would fit, if get those Disk Brake simulators, paint them flat black to hide the brembos.
