Icon7 My DC2 R From The Uk, US Inspired.

Hello Guys And Girls,

New posting up but been hiding on here for a long while and LOVE what most of you guys are doing. Clean lines and slammed is always win and Low offset JDM wheels!

Anyways Over in the UK most people tend to like to keep their tegs pretty standard looks wise but from this site I Got some serious inspiration and Love the USDM look. Find it pretty funny how some of you guys are into the EDM look when I See it all too often.

She started pretty standard just with a Remus back box and Slotted front rotors.

Sits on GAB Coilovers wound 3mm off right down lol (BOUNCY!) And Staggered Regamasters with Toyo T1-R's.

Had the holes in the boot smoothed in and boot resprayed. Loads of other bits and pieces that I cant be arsed to list.

Dyno'd at 187Bhp she's not lost any horses in nearly 9 years and thats pretty good I think!

One more track day and then my best mate is buying her, I'm keeping the wheels tho



Let me know what you guys think, Cheers!

looks good.. are your tires stretched on there? if so get wider tires and it will be perfect.. dont lower it anymore.. just bigger tires

looks clean. just not a fan of the staggered setup on a DC2. i think it wouldve looked cleaner w the same size/offset all around, or switch the rears to the front & get wider fenders. & please remove that front plate. other than that, looks good

should put the 8" up front and the 7" in the rear. it will make a world of difference in the handling.

Cheers for the comments so far I was worried what kinda reply i'd get on here lol

Plate has to stay or i'd be getting pulled over by the cops much too often

8" upfront will handle better? I've got one more track day then she's sold.
