well i've been fighting an internal battle with myself for the past few months.....
my 97 itr is getting a bit tired Trackdays & a hectic life has left her a little neglected, i knew i needed another car in order to start work on the dc2, refreshing & strenghtening the chassis & suspension, i also have a B20 bottom end & a B16a head which is begging for a build, so i have plans for her to fight another day.....with a little help from h-t
kaola yummies has kindly offered to keep me up to date with his friends efforts & in return i will promise to buy him a beer if he ever finds his way to Dublin

any way the new car........

i pm'd "koala yummies" after he posted in the BS thread, his buddy is doing some extensive work to a DC2 Chassis & he kindly offered to keep me updated when i expressed an interest

i'm no expert but i will try give a review of the DC5R if you guys are interested.....for what its worth

 

what did you buy one of those blancmangey pieces of crap for?


they're obviously paying you too much over in Ireland

pmsl thats a new one on me, you picking up funny lingo in the US? hope you dont end up with an accent

i'm far from finished with the DC2 & i neeeeeded another car, it was always going to be another honda, i looked at a few euro R's but they just seemed a little bit too grown up for this 38 year old peter pan

 

I think I would have gotten a Euro R just to be a little bit different, everyones got a DC5-R


(I wonder if any of the yanks are getting jealous yet)

and you don't need to worry about accent issues. although at times I was tempted to put one on when ordering food, they wouldn't understand when I asked for lettuce and tomato on my sub. because obviously I can't speak English

That car is sick and why is it that we don't get all the sweet rides from honda in the U.S. at least we got the R and the NSX-R. Hope we see the new NSX soon. Congrats BRo.
