Something like that would be my choice... But I've had 2 of them, I miss those. I don't miss my DC2.

GT4 is a bit of wild car really. Cant really bring myself to break away from smaller lighter cars. Altezza on track id imagine would be heavy on consumables, and with a v8 not that fast and nimble
They're lighter than GT4s, clever suspension setup, if you went for the V8 it's an alloy block.

Turbod Altezza. That would do the job beautifully.
Or potentially even a V8 swapped Altezza/IS200, it could be done within budget... It's got me thinking now.

Be interested to know what a DC2 is like cruising at 100mph or so, imagine a DC5 isnt too bad

This quote function is killing me on the mobile... I can't delete them.
A DC2 sits at 4,500rpm at 70ish... At 100 you will be in VTEC. They're not great on a cruise, loud and the engine feels permanently strained mate.

I got all 4 bolts in. You can also go for the method stated in the last post. To get all 4 in you need a mate to give you a hand with a breaker/just a thick piece of steel to bridge the gap

Yes custom rail

Mileage Vs Maintenance. A well maintained car with higher miles will be a lot better than an average maintenance car on less generally.
I've gotta ask, when you fit the 98 Spec interior does that include the standard Glanza seats? If so, Id shop around. They're crap. Gen 7 Celica seats go in well enough and are a LOT better

Can you take any photos of the box?

It always makes me wonder why these folks don't get someone slightly literate to proof read there ads before they post them.
If someone's typed an ad up like a berk I'll tend to avoid it, as would most folk I'd imagine.

I think that's something that should be pushed by members. If you know someone with a starlet, direct them here. If they don't turn up on here, harass them. They'll do the same when they settle in.

Ever since having a Toms Chaser on Gran Turismo 2 I've wanted one of these. It was my favourite car on the game. Very jealous right now.

I wonder if the tax man sees any of that cash...

The thing is... A fake Takata harness has the potential to leave you soaring through the windscreen en route to the back of the lorry you've careered into.
A fake Bride + fake Takata leaves you in a similar position, only your ass and back will be filled with shards of fibreglass as the Bride would implode on impact before the harness snaps.
You've careered towards the lorry when your boost levels spiked through the roof because your fake Tial wastegate stuck closed and punted you into the kerb via 4.8 bar of boost.
The fake BBS you imported from Ali Express has shattered on impact leaving you sliding on the fake Brembo rotor you picked up for £14 off eBay towards the parked HGV.
But bitching about an alloy battery clamp? Not sure if serious...

This filthy thing. Still needs lowering...
-
Thats a great idea! And saying that maybe a "like button" or something similar as i liked the above comment but didnt really need to comment, but had to show i liked the idea

Another idea... But it will be difficult to implement...
When creating a new thread, scan for buzzwords in the title/body which throw up a series of links to similar topics. Potentially ranking them in terms of popularity/page views.

A simple one click join for FaceBook tubes? Click the button, it detects your profile info from Facebook, select a username/password and you're in?
Limited access for guest browsing, i.e 5 pages flicked through the forum locks out bar a join screen?

Mine is chained to an anchor point in the garage floor. Garage has CCTV and the alarm is wired to an air raid siren lol.
The air raid siren had me laughing!
I can just imagine your neighbours if someone attempts to have it away hahaha

To be frank, this isn't going to be a quick fix.
Extremists have there own views on religion, which aren't going to change. They have there own view on its teachings and there own take on how to act on those.
Australia, a few years ago mind, attempted to throw out anyone who supported Shari'a Law.
We can only act reactively.
But, I do believe there's no smoke without fire. If someone's a suspected terrorist and they're a citizen, they should be charged with treason.
BUT sending these swines to a British prison backfires, they are then essentially locked in with there target market. Influential idiots looking for something to believe and someone to follow.
It's too early for this rant.
I like cars.

Fair one, I've not really followed the Honda scene for long enough to do any major research so cheers for that. I sold my DC2 and haven't touched another Honda since... Hmm...Because they are absolutely tried and tested, in fact there is a whole forum dedicated to tuning them
http://www.d-series.org/forums/engine-building/59924-d16z-turbo.html
With people achieving well over a 1000 bhp.
Obviously the K20 is a superior motor, but don't discredit the D16 motor as they are seriously capable motors!
They're cheaper to get a hold of, they are very common and you're not paying a premium for having a K20. Tuning for these are very well understood.
The non-type S type R's already have a D16 motor in them, it's just a matter of swapping it for the ideal variant.
It's the choice I would make for this car, but each to their own.
-
That looks great.
If it were me, I'd get an EP2 me thinks!
A friend I know loves this colour, but her boyfriend made her buy an EP3. I think she would have preferred this though.
If this were me, I wouldn't be bothering with a K20 swap, but rather a D16 turbo engine as they are seriously capable motors.
Love this it's gorgeous!
May send it slightly off topic... But why D16 over K20?
Looking tidy. I like the blue and the DC5 wheels!

Spotted last night, I'm 50/50 on whether it was my old car or not; got pretty excited when I saw it. If you're on here.
I was the bloke with the epically strong moustache driving the Scirocco staring longingly into your face

postcode has a massive effect on insurance prices also
You're telling me... I moved from Cambridge to Rochdale... £440 difference with a LOT of shopping around. Ergh
Europe Road Trip..What Car

I did, my turbod Altezza was only really built for track, Cusco C1 Coilovers, GREDDY turbo kit and gutted. I had an almost stock one at the same time.
It's a Beams engine, heads built by Yamaha, revs to almost 8k... An RS200 also comes from the factory with an LSD
If I was doing another run around Europe, honestly a DC2 would be near the bottom of my list. They're gutless unless you're kicking there heads in and ridiculously noisy on the motorway. I loved it on the right road/track don't get me wrong. But cruising down the motorway or just doing daily chores it was a pain in the ass. I preferred my Clio 182 to the DC2 tbh as a fun daily.
I'm saying this, I drove to Spain in an EP91 V and all the way around France...
