Default 01' Arctic Blue Pearl DC5R

My new purchase, the DC5 needed a proper clean so got up today at 10am then washed, clayed, polished and waxed, finished about 5pm! been a long day and my arms and back are aching lol! Below are a few of the mods I'm aware of, might be some more goodies hiding under that shiny blue body:

Wedsport wheels SA 90s
Carbon fibre bonnet, mugen rep
Gruppe M
Techno pro Gspec Jasma Raw Titanium exhaust
Feel's radiator
Defi gauges
J's racing engine torque damper
J's racing strut front strut
Cusco rear strut
Eibach progressive springs
Goodridge braided lines
Samco hoses
Teishi gearknob


digi-cam point and shoot camera, nothing special will get a proper shoot once its looking more presentable, let me know what you think - good and bad. I'm going to be changing the bonnet to OEM, the current bonnet fitment is terrible! and refurbishing the wheels in black or might buy another set of wheels altogether. Still thinking whether to keep the car or not, as I have a DC2 as well.

Thanks for the comment.

Did a quick search and it seems:

"It does have a hole in the bottom on the box, it locates on one rubber mount where the OEM box mounts to and there is another hole which would let any water that might somehow manage to get all the way to it out of the bottom."

looks really good. Will look even better with the OEM hood. Is that your white DC2 in the background of picture number four?

Very nice looking car. I really like the color of the wheels and wouldn't refinish them in black but do white again w/ the blue. The hood is the only thing what i'm not feeling and the OEM would look a lot better.

PSU - funny you say that as I absolutely hate the wheels! lol

creed86 - thanks dude, yeah thats my DC2 in the background, more pics of that can be found in this link: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-acura-28/teasr-dc2%99-london%7Cplayground-2847760/

TsujenDB1, I am thinking of selling the wheels altogether, maybe for something bronze, looking at some volks. The bonnet is deffo going soon!

Thanks for all the kind comments.
