Anyboby know anything about these 2 JDM DC5 R's for sale at hmotorsonline?

I recently sold my 96'spec ITR and ever since have been fighting the itch to get another one. I thought I could hold out and resist another <FONT COLOR="red">R</FONT> ...until I saw this...







...missing a few bits n' peices here and there but looks to be in overall good condition, and only $18K(2004 w/12,000 kilometers). For that price I'm guessing it's un-registered.


I haven't been able to call-in yet, but if anyone has any info on these two JDM DC5 R's, please share

woah!!!

thats awesome!

i should have my dad pick it up for track duty

 

i saw these cars when i went to hmo to pick up my engine. they are pretty clean.

 

The only thing that would suck about a RHD car is shifting with one's left hand. It would be so gimpy!

I'd get some kind of sequential 'box made for it.

To me it felt quite natural, and was able to adjust very easily but I'm also a lefty lol

 

I take it that HMO doesn't have a small shop you can walk into do they? I'm not too far from Burbank and I'd like to check that DC5 out.

 

Ive seen the car, its super clean

 

I have seen the car in person. I really want it but I can not deal with driving on the wrong side and regestering the car. If it would have been left hand drive I would probably pull equity out of my house for it

 

nice, what did the guy in washington want for his registerd blue dc5 type r like 28000? so ten grand less just becaus it isnt registerd is a deal thats less than a 04 type s with the same about of miles would cost

 

get it registered, and then tell us how much of a deal that is.

It's like riding a bicycle. It takes 15 minutes to learn and you never forget how to do it after. It's harder to remember the turn signal stalk is on the other side, than to shift properly.

haha true story, i used to always forget to turn on the signals

 

what all do you have to go through to get it registered? My dad has a RHD subaru I don't think he had much of a hassle..though I guess a type-r would be a little different since its not a crappy wagon for a mail route? hah.

 

damn dood you'll be the only guy i know with 2 jdm dc's haha.

good luck with that. i was gonna sell my car and buy yours, and slap the parts on over =P

 

I didnt know you sold your car. Congratulations on the sale, I inquired about it one time, but I wasnt able to come up with the dough. If you do get that DC5, then I will congratulate you on outdoing yourself 10X!

HMO are busy people. Best thing if you are local is to go to their place. I've seen one of the RHD DC5's there before....it's damn clean. Interior and exterior.
Just keep trying to call....they'll pick up the call when they get the chance. It's hard getting ahold of steve, but for me, i just go in. Usually he's very busy, but he does what he can to take care of his customers.

 

Crawling back huh Andy?

 

i've seen one of them, their in pretty good shape, he had a ctr shell a while back, i was trying to buy it, he wouldn't budge, i guess someone offered enough, he also had a black crx for 4500 rhd, with some goodies.

last time i was there...i saw the rhd crx....looked pretty good...didn't know it was for sale tho.

 

yeah, i saw two dc5 itr's when i picked up some stuff. hes only asking 18k, but im sure registration and all that fun stuff adds up.

 

I've been looking at those cars on their site forever, now. I want a CW DC5-R sooooooooooo bad! GOD!!!

 

hes finally gonna drive on the "Right" side

 

I've been considering another R myself, but it won't be a DC5.
