Default Noob with a '96 JDM

Hey folks. I'm Andy, i'm from Scotland, and i drive a '96 JDM. Had her since January '07 and i absolutely love her.

Here's some pics
This one was taken in March this year


And this is the most recent pic i have


Not a lot of mods so far, got an Air Walker front bumper(i think), OEM wheels sprayed black, Top Fuel CAi, Spoon manifold, decat and up until 3 days ago i had a Mugen Twin Loop but i've just swapped it for a 5Zigen Fireball

Hoping to sort out an OEM fron bumper with Spoon lip and a '98 spec rear bumper, and get some coilovers soon

Anyways, hope you guys like it

Welcome.

Looks great. Can I ask why you would swap a Mugen for a 5Zigen?

Thanks guys. Yeah, the search button is my friend - it's the motto on itr-dc2.com!

The change from the Twin Loop to the Fireball was just a matter of personal preference. I loved the sound of the Twin Loop, but for me it just wasn't loud enough or aggressive enough. The Fireball in my opinion sounds unbelievable, and it looks a lot nicer on the car too. I know that the Mugen would more than likely give me better gains etc, but at the end of the day if i was chasing gains i would never have bought an NA 1.8 Honda! A car like the DC2 is supposed to be about the feel, the sensations, and for me sound plays a big part in that

Cheers again guys

To be honest, theft does happen, a few years ago there was a big of a car jacking epidemic, but it's not too bad at the moment. Ive got a Cat1 Toad alram/immobiliser with anti-car jacking fitted anyway, so i'm fairly confident she's safe. It's more old Vauxhalls and Fords that tend to get stolen as they're more common and less likely to have alarms etc
