Well so far had it 4 days and still haven't thought about selling it!!! This might be the one!!!!!!
Anyway, its a Honda Integra Type R. Not the minging shape we always see in white, but the new DC5 shape. No UK ones available so still a rarety. Only 5 black ones in the country and my ones number 5 of 5!! Shes a 51 plate with 11000 miles on the clock.
Performance wise its 220hp, 6 speed. Revs like fook to 8500rpm. Wouldn't say its cossie quick, but didn't buy it for outright performance. Wanted comfort and reliablility. Its also got bits like recaro seats, HID gas discharge headlights, Brembo 4 pot brakes, aircon/climate etc etc...... Shes also got a 'C pack' which gives you extras.
Not sure what im doing on the mods front, dont really want to go buying bigger wheels, lowering etc as it drives great as it is. Its already got a HKS Hyper exhaust system, and have just ordered an Injen Induction Kit. Obviously the stereo will be whacky but not as lairy as the van.
heres a few piccies...




Cheers
Chris

yeah it puts it up big time... Paying near enought the same insurance as what an evo 6 would've been.... Some companies will quote but they end up thinking its the older DC2 shape as this one doesn't come up on the system.
