My Teggy!! Update 1

RX7 · Post by **RX7** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 8:09 am

I love Integras !!! Was sooo close to getting one before the Rex. Yours is an absolute mint example mate.

I will also have one at some point, the DC2s are nice prices now.

After reading loads of articles in the mags and on tinternet they are mighty impressive cars even in standard form.

Would love to come out for a spin in one Cannit if thats ok.

I love the shape of the DC5 and think its a really stunning looking car but everywhere you read about them people say it hasnt got the 'raw' experience of the DC2.

Is the black bonnet carbon or just a 'black bonnet' ? If just a normal one are you gonna get it painted white and go for the standard look or change some of the bodywork ?

Also just a question....whats the difference between the Japanese version and the UK one (aside from the lights and maybe extras like Aircon/fog lights etc).

Nice pics Stuart and Rob - Only one bad thing my eagle eyes spotted and that was Lexus style rear lights (Stuart)

!!! Maybe that was when they were in fashion though :? ?!!

If anyone wants a ride in it I'll be at Snetterton for the track day and more than happy to take anyone out (you might need to bring clean underwear :twisted: )

The JDM Tegs had 197bhp instead of 187bhp.. Smaller brakes on the early Japs, nicer ( i think ) front end, think they also had different gear ratios but as far as i know thats about it?..

The bonnet was originally a standard one painted black but i ditched that in favour of a BuddyClub (AAI) Carbon bonnet

DC5's are gorgeous but not as quick as a DC2!

Thanks again for the kind comments

Little bit of an update as i have a few pics now of what ive been up to lately!

Heres the lightweight Exedy Flywheel i have had fitted (With help from BrownEJ20!)

I also baffled the sump.. (With welding done by BrownEJ20)

Last week was the turn of the Brakes to get an upgrade as i fitted AP Dixcell FCR (Carbon) Front discs, AP Dixcell SD rear discs, EBC Yellowstuff pads and Goodridge Braided lines

From this

To this

Also the tyres have had an upgrade to Hankook RS2 (Competition) Tyres

Right, I think thats about all i can think of for now!

That flywheel looks very light - must have shaved a lot of weight of that :thumb:

... i'm gonna have trouble keeping up with you now

The flywheel and Sump were on before the Snetterton Trackday but since then the Tyres and brakes have been fitted, Brakes should help big time as i was getting A LOT of fade at Snetterton...

Soon will be Coilovers, then I will be hassling you around the track!! :twisted: :-D

Tempted by some Advans at the moment but they are the same price as the coilovers :roll:

Looking great Paul. If you ever want to flog those seats, give me a shout :thumb:

It will be interesting to see how you get on with those carbon brakes. Please try and give us the day to day stuff as well as the performance testing feedback.
