those wheels are the Mugen MF10 wheels in the pic, not cheap at all but they look epic.

CE28s are nice also !!

Will be interested to see what you think of the DC2 as a daily driver. I liked mine at the time & it always felt 'special' to climb into after a day at work.

So the DC2 has been in daily use since beginning of March and its been fun. Two people at work asked to buy it and several others point and comment. A few problems have cropped up which I think may of been caused by it sitting in storage for nearly 2 years before I got it. The rear brakes still don,t work properly so next week these are being fully rebuilt, new seals etc. The fuel tank decided to rust away as I was filling it up at the local shell station and flooded the place! :leaving: New tanks aren't available anymore so I managed to source a good second hand one. My new front discs (M-tec) warped in 2000 miles so I,ve had to change them this week and the power steering pump decided to give up so again changed this week for a good second hand item. I have managed to do most of the work myself on the car and have found it pretty easy to work on despite having no real mechanics experience.
A few things I,ve noticed and that is the car is actually quite cheap to maintain and run despite the performance it gives. There is a healthy second hand parts market to keep it going and the forums are very helpful. It also surprises a lot of modern cars even though it is now 20 years old.
Next week its going into the garage for a cambelt, tensioner, water pump and to rebuild the brakes. Then hopefully that will be it for a while so I can finally get the mugen stuff put on.
