pretty much stock...

Just the wheels -

Teins
Rush 02
and all minor details, stereo... bla bla....

and dealer said i have a Lsd in there, but i cant tell whether it has one..
also relocated battery to boot for more room under the bonnet so that piping for cold air would be easy to install.

and body is

yamato back pods.

well, you can't go wrong with wheels to start off with...

any planned mods?

Jono · Post by **Jono** » Tue May 20, 2003 10:57 pm

i might be selling it to my mate whos making that website

but yeah.. might get a Integra type r... not sure.. i still love my car.

if i keep it, id do extractors all the way thro till muffler...
nothing to big, Ftos are nicely ballanced, i like the power they give out now with handling... ATM i cant justify putting any turbo's in it....

its realiable and fun.. how good is that!!

i agree... Type-Rs are a little too hard core for the streets in my opinion, but hey - each to their own i suppose...

but yeah FTOs are nicely balanced, with great comfort and handling... Looks way better than the Teggy too

yup, my friends owns a DC2R and i test drove it once when they were released in oz...

strangely though, dunno if it's just me bit it seems to run better after clocking a few Ks... the demo car from the dealer didn't seem to run as hard as my friend's (6000kms vs 36000kms)

but i just find the sharp-edged nature and coarse ride very hard to live with on a daily driver... but that's just me...

MADFTO · Post by **MADFTO** » Tue Jun 10, 2003 12:23 pm

*laughs* on the seat of your pants performance is never comfortable =)

But then again, you never notice when you're driving =)

GPXXX · Post by **GPXXX** » Tue Jun 10, 2003 4:43 pm

well if i had wanted comfortable performance, i would've gone for the M3 but hey, i don't earn a 6-figure salary so i guess this ill have to do for now eh?

G1 · Post by G1 » Tue Jun 10, 2003 4:46 pm

You can get Indiglo dials from KMC Products in the UK for 65UKP (about 160 AUD). It doesn't include shipping, taxes and fitting but I think that would come in under 340 dollars. It only took me about half an hour to fit them but it was a little more awkward to wire up the power. Check out http://www.kmc-products.com if you are interested.

i guess the flipside to it all is that if something goes wrong, at least i can always go back to Vince and get it fixed, whereas if it was ordered online from KMC and if there was a problem, it'd be rather silly to send the merchandise all the way back to UK for exchange (not to mention the painful delays) and there's really no support for it unless you get someone in Oz who knows what they're doing to fix it...
