My new Dc2 integra JDM

[jones91]

Ive always liked these cars if I'm being honest, but didn't plan on buying one anytime soon tbh.... until this cropped up at a great price, so I just had to buy it and the saxo's gonna have to go instead :n:

It's a 96 spec dc2 integra jdm, and off the top of my head, it's spec/details are below

75k
Mugen twin loop exhaust
Decat
Hks Manu
Tegiwa coilovers
Spoon ecu
3 point strut brace
Mugen carbon fibre air intake
98 spec wheels
Big brake conversion (think they're 282s)
Dyno'd at 212 brake @ the fly

There's a few other bits that have slipped out of my head lol, but I think that's the main bulk. To be honest, I'm pretty happy how it is so apart from cleaning and maintaining there probably won't be a fat lot of progress.... anyhow a few pics below

I think that's pretty much it tbh..... so hope you guys enjoy the thread :)

[Dave_P]

Nice. :y:

[josh11490]

Looks nice, will be following this, love integras :P

[LSOfreak]

thank god its a jdm one

the uk ones look cack lol

these look awesome on dished cambered wheels :)

[Mochachino]

Lovely mate, look after it :y:

[blackie_2k5]

looks a nice example josh

though you were taking the piss when i seen it on FB haha

[Mochachino]

thank god its a jdm one

UK ones can look incredible!

Look out for a Azect Rear Lip if you are keeping the 96spec rear bumper. Can get them from America from another company under the name of Ace Rear Lip.

[jones91]

Cheers for the comments guys :y: as above, im pretty happy how it is now if im being honest, so most of the work will probably just be cleaning and polishing

looks a nice example josh

lol i wasnt really looking for one to be fair, but it was a mate of a mate who was selling it and i dont think he realised how much these go for :p And ive always loved these so just had to buy it :y: But cant afford two cars so the saxo will have to go :n: Still sort of coming to terms that one week im planning to forge the saxo and the next week im selling it and have a new car

[harry289]

[QUOTE=jones91;6160600]Cheers for the comments guys :y: as above, im pretty happy how it is now if im being honest, so most of the work will probably just be cleaning and polishing


I like your style! Looks lovely mate really does :)

[Jay_]

Nice :y: I have a big thing for these atm!

[GolfJay]

Love it! However, I'd have to have a DC5. I know they're mega money more but there's just something about them!

[DanTvts]

Looks sooo nice! Thought about getting one so many times but havent managed to break away from french cars yet lol

[jones91]

Again cheers for the comments guys :) Mini update as I haven't updated it since I bought the car, haven't done a great deal to the car since I've bought it, just sticking to keeping it clean and good condition for now, all I've done since buying it is keep it clean, and oil and filter change.... oh yeah also bought a new exhaust system as I'm not a fan of the mugen twinloop

Apologies for the shite pictures but it was dark when I got it and I fitted it on the same night, the system is a hks windmaster (great name for an exhaust I know :p) and it looks 10x better on the car than the old system, even though the backbox is shaped like an ice cream cone. Also in my opinion sounds much better than the twinloop too as the exhaust actually has a note to it now. Few more photo's below of it as there's not a great deal yet, a couple of them are AlexB's so hope he doesnt mind me copying and pasting them

Will try to get more photos on the weekend when i can see the car in daylight

[lukebeard]

dont they do the spoon n1 for these? looking smart as fuck tho mate.

[jones91]

Cheers mate :) yeah they do the spoon n1 for these, had a look and they're £429 just for the backbox though :n: I got that system for £300 delivered new so was a no-brainer really :p and I think it sounds pretty good too, with a bit of noise but not Ott

I initially wanted a buddyclub system but theyre minimum £500

[Prickle]

jesus expensive just for a backbox! how much are the Spoon N1 reps?

[lukebeard]

i had a js racing n1 rep on the civic with a 2.5" unsilenced b-pipe and it sounded the nuts! shite for motorway miles though. sold my back box for £80 the other week. iv still got brand new goodridge phantom lines for the ep3 which need selling!!

[jones91]

Prickle I haven't checked what the reps go for but I still don't think they're cheap tbh

Luke in still a bit of a noob with jap cars lol, is the b-pipe the whole centre section or just the bend between the mid pipe and the backbox?

Bet it sounded lovely :) But isn't £80 a bit cheap for the backbox?

[lukebeard]

no because its a rep they are only like £120 new i think. and it went from the cat to the back box mate. its known to be the most restrictive part and since putting my standard system back on the throttle response has gone poopy :( but got a pugsport on the saxo now so still get my pops and bangs from some where lol

[JoshFurioBrookes]

Get that spoiler off it, and get it low! Love these.

[lukebeard]

Get that spoiler off it, and get it low! Love these.

il secong this :y:

[jones91]

It's as low as I dare to take it tbh, the exhaust I have in it swoops under the rear axle and is literally a cm off the floor..... it scrapes on most a roads and motorways already, and speed bumps are a NIGHTMARE!!!

And think I'm keeping the spoiler as I like it, the spoiler will get a respray soon though

[Jazz]

I've owned a few Type R Hondas in the past, but never a Teg. I would love one someday.

Looks lovely.

[Jay_]

Don't you dare de-spoiler this.

It looks bang on, but I'm not a fan of the backbox :n:

[jones91]

Cheers lads :y:

Jazz I'd definitely look at owning something like a dc5 one day, I've never driven an ep3, fn2 civic etc so cant compare this to other honda's, but the integra in my opinion is a great car

Jay I'd never de-spoiler it lol, if anything it's getting resprayed as it's flaking a bit in the corner

And yeah the exhaust is turning out to be a bit like marmite lol, some love it and some hate it but it makes a nice note without being too loud so I'm happy with it for now :)

[Aly]

Looks lovely always fancied a teg how does it compare to the vts?

[vtectransplant]

Hate seeing DC2's on here.....miss mine sooooo much!

Keep the spoiler and it needs raising not lowering!

(Love it btw)

[jones91]

Looks lovely always fancied a teg how does it compare to the vts?
Cheers :) Against the vts it returns slightly better mpg (low to mid 30's driving sensible and about mid to high 20's giving it some lol), comfort wise it's just better hands down as it comes with recaro's as standard, it's a lot more roomy inside and the ride itself is loads smoother, even with the coilovers at a hard dampening setting. Acceleration its not quite as quick as the vts when it was boosted but it's not that far off tbh, but is still a 0-60 car in 6 seconds. Handling is out of this world, I haven't been able to push it in the corners as the cars capabilities outweigh mine. And finally nothing's gone wrong with it yet which is something I haven't said for a long time lol :)

[jones91]

Hate seeing DC2's on here.....miss mine sooooo much!

(Love it btw)
Any pics? Cheers :)

Nice to be getting lots of nice comments :)

[josh11490]

One of these are on my list to own oneday along with a dc5 and a CTR ep3.

Looks awesome though, put a vid up of the exhaust?

[vtectransplant]

Any pics? Cheers :)

Nice to be getting lots of nice comments :)


WHen I got it home.... Bought it off a mate who had it from being 2 years old with only 19,000miles on it. I bought it off him 10 years later with 80,000

[jones91]

That looks nice mate :) think by the looks of it you have the same intake as me too :y:

And an exhaust vid will probs have to wait til the weekend tbh but il try and get one up

[Gumbo]

Lovely car mate looks spot on

[blackie_2k5]

looks in nice shape mate

should try to get the underside treated if it hasnt already been

[vtectransplant]

That looks nice mate :) think by the looks of it you have the same intake as me too :y:

Cheers dude. Like most ukdm's it's gone to the scrapyard on the sky!
Mine was the Tegiwa copy...

[jones91]

looks in nice shape mate

should try to get the underside treated if it hasnt already been
Cheers, these are all fully undersealed when imported over here, and it's was done again just before I bought the car so shouldn't have too much to worry about

And it looks completely rot free underneath too

[jones91]

Quick vid of the exhaust, sorry about the quality but no-one would help me video it at 11pm on a Sunday night so was on my own :n:

Also didn't realise how loud the car is outside :p

Hope it works lol

Edit: don't think it's working but might be because I'm on my mobile

[Gandi699]

what was that recorded on? 3210? haha

[jones91]

Nah lol an iPhone 3GS kept upright using my bobble hat haha, the quality was slightly less shit on my phone but photobucket made it look like it was recorded off something from pound land :p

[Mochachino]

Met up with my mate who has a jdm 98soec and it reminded me just how much i love these cars. Yours looks great too!

[benwh555]

Such amazing cars, big love for these.

[jones91]

Cheers again guys :y: Didnt realise these cars were so popular :p

Met up with my mate who has a jdm 98soec and it reminded me just how much i love these cars. Yours looks great too!

Time to get another one soon maybe?

[Bedford126]

You need to get yourself a genuine whale dick on this mate. Just for vtec noises yo.

[Mochachino]

Cheers again guys :y: Didnt realise these cars were so popular :p



Time to get another one soon maybe?

Maybe, I would quite like one aswell as the Euro R tbf cant part with this one haha. Integras are a peice of art!

[jones91]

Only just realised this was bumped lol

You need to get yourself a genuine whale dick on this mate. Just for vtec noises yo.

This tegiwa enclosed thing has some bad ass induction roar anyway y0, it's all I could hear when I had the old exhaust on :D

[jones91]

Maybe, I would quite like one aswell as the Euro R tbf cant part with this one haha. Integras are a peice of art!
Jap cars in general are a piece of art mate, especially honda's and even more especially when they're as rare as yours :y:

[SaxoStevo]

not a bad car, theres a DC2 in telford like yours. & atleast its a bit quieter than your saxo... nothing was as loud as that.

[jones91]

Cheers mate, where abouts did you hear the saxo? When that was running n/a that noise was ear bleeding loud lol :D

[SaxoStevo]

nextdoor to you lol. my gf lives there, i know mikey, wayne & dave too.

[jones91]

Oh right is that your Audi next door to mine haha? Looks smart mate :)

[SaxoStevo]

yeah its mine mate, always spotless? :P

[jones91]

It's always kind of clean when I see it lol..... well a lot cleaner than my cars normally are :p

[SaxoStevo]

do car detailing mate so take pride in a clean car lol.

[Lewis]

literally the perfect DC2, maybe some 10mm spacers?

[jones91]

literally the perfect DC2, maybe some 10mm spacers?
Sorry mate I didn't see this, cheers :y: think the wheels would catch in the outer arches if I put spacers on tbh

[jones91]

Not much to update on this really, some more recent pics with a couple of mates cars too, some of which were at a local cruise..... again sorry for the poor quality, promise il invest in a decent camera soon :y:

Plans - still dont really have many tbh, but il waxoyl the arches, dyno run for an engine health check, decent set of tyres (currently have federals lol), and maybe respray a couple of panels, as the splitters stone chipped, the spoilers flaking and there's a couple of old filler marks starting to show through the paint

Other than that that's about it :)

[Jay_]

That CRX is lovely! :y:

The only thing I would change about the DC2 is the backbox. Just think it looks universal :(

[LSOfreak]

i agree, backbox looks odd.. why does it look like that??

[jones91]

Funnily enough guys I've just taken a pic of the backbox lol
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/05/3y7evu9e.jpg

I've got no idea why it's shaped like an ice cream cone tbh, but I bought the system as my mate (the one who owns the Evo) had one on his old ek9 and sounded the tits

Jay the only issue with changing the backbox is, I'd have to change the whole system as this one sweeps underneath the axle, where as most go up and over it, and the only systems I would change it for would cost £600+ which I dont want to spend on one lol

[Pug-123]

Lot of love for these cars! These and EK Type R Civics are definitely in my top 10 :) Looks like it's in really good condition too! Lucky c**t!

[Mochachino]

Is that Dudly? The new version of JAE?

[jones91]

Is that Dudly? The new version of JAE?
Yeah how did you know it was Dudley from them pics lol? Supposed to be a monthly Jap meet (biggest in Europe) right on that car park, but from what I heard cops shut it down after a crash

Trying to find out where they meet now but not having much look :(

[Mochachino]

haha it looked familiar! I used to go when I had the teg! Was an alright meet tbf

Whats it like these days? Was there a Euro R there? I remmeber everytime I used to go there would be a Euro R there and id marvel over it for ages lol

[vtectransplant]

I had RE010's on mine for the road and they were incredible but think they are discontinued?

[jones91]

haha it looked familiar! I used to go when I had the teg! Was an alright meet tbf

Tbh mate I've never been to one of the JAE meets, the pics were from a gathering of multiple cruises on a Sunday night to make one huge meet, the JAE meets got closed off by police a couple of months ago from a serious crash :n:

Will have a look on jdm collective in a bit to see if there's anything coming up

[jones91]

I had RE010's on mine for the road and they were incredible but think they are discontinued?
Not too sure mate but il have a look out for them cheers

[vtectransplant]

Not too sure mate but il have a look out for them cheers

That's what they came on but pretty sure they're a no go. I had a set spare that I left in the loft last time I moved... Was gutted!

[jones91]

Not done much to this since I last updated, and haven't got round to doing any of the previous list stated lol, but there's a couple of things I have done since last posting

Firstly it's been raised 20mm all round as I struggled to get over speedbumps, turns out the coilovers were set up completely wrong, and the height was set up by compressing/de-compressing the springs, so the front springs were really loose and the rear springs were super tight lol

Secondly due to being so low in the first place I smashed my exhaust up on multiple amounts of speed bumps and cats eyes, so I've now had that fixed, but i was constantly hitting the midbox and ended up wrecking that too, so ended up having the middle box cut out too resulting in a pretty loud car lol. Took a couple of vids this afternoon as taking the box out has changed the sound of the car a bit.....sorry they're not great quality but anyway here they are below

Mate covered up the speaker so sounds quiet and muffled :n:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=plcp&v=6Rm3zLHYWGI

Inside the car, apologies about the wind distortion when I get close to the national speed limit ;)
http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=plcp&v=uOYgyTJ1lgE

And also this one... again not great but probably the best out the lot
http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=plcp&v=SINa8PEaRQk

If I get time il try and get some better ones without distortion lol

Oh and I'm getting a better camera next week so il take some new photos then :)

[Prickle]

Sounds weird, a tad tinny but higher up the rev it sounds good.

[GTuff]

Sounds weird, a tad tinny but higher up the rev it sounds good.

Vtec init blad ! I wud like a Honda dad used to have a jdm prelude 2.2 vtec was norrrrrtyyy

[jones91]

Cheers John-G :y: I think the tinny sound is just the crappy sound quality of the vid tbh, we didn't realise my mate was muffling the sound by covering the speaker during filming until afterwards :n:

The vid doesn't show just how loud it really is in real life lol

And G-Tuff yeah vtec is proper norrrtty lol :p

[martin1985]

i could keep up with that in my vts....to 10mph that is ;)

looks good mate :y: reminds me that i probably should do some more vids on my car at some point!

[jones91]

Lol cheers mate :y:

And yeah get some videos up, you probably won't get the car to sound quite like it sounds in real life, but they'l give people a decent idea :)

[martin1985]

thinking of getting a ep3 type r for next car....or turbo my current car....will get on the vids tho :y:

[jones91]

If you rely on your car for daily use I wouldn't turbo your current car tbh, unless you can afford a 2nd car for a cheap runabout, and deal with the fact you might lose a fair bit of money. When I turbo'd my old vts if I needed it daily I probably wouldn't have a job anymore lol

An ep3 is a nice step up from a vts, they are a fair bit quicker, but they're also a much nicer place to be too and just as economical, and you also spend less time fiddling about with little bits that fall apart lol

[martin1985]

cheers for info, might just stick with uprated cams then :y:

[jones91]

Nothing mega exciting to report on this lately again lol, but yesterday I've decided to get my arse into gear a bit and crack on with little bits that need doing. So first of all, I took the spoiler & splitter off to get resprayed as they're flaking and the splitter is quite badly stone chipped

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/20/y9usyhe8.jpg
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/20/e4a5umy3.jpg

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/20/ebyruta6.jpg
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/20/urume3e3.jpg

So fingers crossed by next weekend I should have a decent splitter & spoiler worthy of not letting the looks of the car down

Also put some new Honda badges on as the old ones have been on since new and look flimsy & manky

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/20/gy4e5a6a.jpg
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/20/e3y2y7ej.jpg

And got a new set of wheel bolts (also shows my best efforts to de-tar the wheels but still not perfect)

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/20/8u5yvuhy.jpg

I was going to give the car a full valet but the wax hasn't turned up in the post yet lol so that'l have to wait til next weekend..... I think that's it for now but hopefully should have some more progress in a bit :)

[SaxoStevo]

coming along nicely mate keep it up. prob wont see u much more as me and the gf have split. pop down to telford this friday "7th june" if u want to see my new car. just drop me a pm with your number or something ;)

[Dany4494]

Don't know how i missed this beautiful car get spoon back on it imo ;)

[jones91]

Cheers mate, sorry to hear you've both split up :n:

Finally found somewhere that isn't flat out work wise so should have the parts sprayed by end of next week

Bit busy on Friday but will likely be in Telford this weekend sometime though

My no's 07805 115342 or just add me on https://m.facebook.com/Nut91?id=100002322906492&_rdr :y:

And cheers Dany :y:

[utothek]

Such a lovely looking car, looks good without that spoiler on I think

Also that exhaust is marmite to me, as I hate it - nothing else going cheap to replace it with? Just looks out of place?

[jones91]

Cheers mate, lots of people have said it looks good without a spoiler tbh, but personally I think it's like it's missing a limb without it lol

And yeah completely agree the exhaust is marmite, a love it or hate it thing, but I do like it tbh, it's a rare system and there's not many about..... and can't really afford to change it soon either as I've spent £450 on tax & adjustable camber arms, and still need to pay for the respray on the splitter & spoiler, and will soon be spending £400 on semi slick track tyres

[jones91]

Small update

Got the splitter and spoiler back from the spray shop...... but looks like im going back there again :n: all was going well until I came to re-fit the spoiler....

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/29/3yneqyme.jpg

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/29/ne5yguqy.jpg

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/29/4uranaze.jpg

I know championship white can be hard to match, but that's just miles off and no way I'm leaving that on lol so will be going back to the spray shop when I can. Haven't even bothered fitting the splitter either

And whilst I'm here, might as well upload what else I've bought in my little shopping spree :y:

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/29/5y2yjava.jpg

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/29/5ygedu9a.jpg

And yeah I know I bought badges a short while back, but they were cheap and have already fell apart so got some genuine ones instead..... at £40 quid a badge!!!!!

[Martijn_M]

To be honest, i think the spoiler is actually championship white, and your car 'changed' color in the last couple of years?

[Prickle]

I agree ^

The car looks abit "creamy" coloured more so then White

[jones91]

I could be wrong here, but personally I think the bloke from the spray shop has got it wrong tbh

Below I've taken the colour from my spoiler, and the championship white colour from a jdm fn2 civic, which I wouldn't of thought would have time to lose its colour, and the difference is still pretty big tbf, the top pic is the spoiler and the bottom pic is the civic

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/29/menyma7a.jpg

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/29/y9yne5a4.jpg

Edit: championship white was always slightly creamy in the first place I believe

[Prickle]

Not the best pic quality to go off im afraid :P

[jones91]

Not the best pic quality to go off im afraid :P
Yeah I know mate that's what happens when I use zoom in on an iPhone camera lol, il try and get some better quality pics now

[Martijn_M]

I'm sure they can 'measure' what color code the car is and replicate that.

[rey]

Championship white is more of a creamy white than pure white

It's been painted the wrong white haha

[jones91]

Ok since I last updated this, I've spent all afternoon cleaning it to try and restore the paint colour and to try and get the paintwork to look similar to the spoiler, sort of went well..... can still see the difference but its not as noticeable as before, and might even just leave the spoiler, fit the splitter and just leave it

Opinions..... does it look close enough and should I leave it?

Or should I have them redone?

Cheers :y:

[Prickle]

Some pics it looks spot on and some you can tell.

Depends if you are really bothered lol.

[Tom5190]

Get them re done mate it looks completly different

[jones91]

Get them re done mate it looks completly different
That's what I did in the end mate :y:

Body shop took the responsibility, and admitted its been painted in Grand Prix white instead and will redo both parts foc

So should have the bits in the right colour before too long I hope :y:

[Mochachino]

LOL thats almost laughable mate, you need to sort it, it almost looks minty with a hint of blue to it.

Championship white is creamy as you know and that looks nothing like championship white. 100% not.

Championhip white is easy to spray and match too so they shouldnt have any problem at all with it. Straight forward easy job.

Ive just have some Ppremium Pearl white sprayed on a door and wing and had the rear door blended in too and you cant see the difference at all and with it being pearl its harder to do so.

There are 27 shades of championship white on sikkens paint scheme alone. Championship white isn't as easy as you think to paint without blending. Saying that it should be a hell of a lot closer than that.

It's getting sorted mate, bloke admits he's used the wrong paint and I'm dropping them back off to be redone :y:

I wasn't expecting it to be perfect tbh, as Bedford said there's a few different shades of nh-0 championship white, but that did take the piss a bit though lol

And fuck me 27 different shades of championship white :omg:

Bit of an update, went back to the garage that sprayed my parts, they've redone them (now in the right colour lol), they don't 100% match but as I didn't give them the car to colour match too I'm happy enough

Also some good news for the haters of my exhaust :homme: I bought this a couple of weeks ago :y:

In my opinion sounds better than the old system too, it gives more of a deep burble sound rather than the rasp the old one made, its a bit droney at times but as it isn't a daly car I can put up with it

Some pics with the parts now fitted back on, yeah the car does need a wash but il probs get round to doing that tomorrow

Cheers mate, I was pretty lucky to get it tbh, as the miracle fireball is discontinued and one randomly popped up on eBay, until I saw this for sale I had no plans to get a new exhaust lol
