no, it was a personal import from japan, it is currently getting registered at the DVLA - so no number plates at the moment! and no driving it too! but only 3 days left before i can jump back in!
Excellent!, I'll probably see you around then, mine should have a full Modulo kit and 17" rims once I get it on the road.
I'm from the UK, North Derbyshire just outside Manchester. 1.4 SE sport 02 model in red, standard apart from factory spoiler and resprayed wheels at the mo but got a JDM L15 engine comin soon to drop in!!

where you get a 1.5 engine from?.. how much was it?
Pow-R tuning bought it to go in their demo car but they've sold the car now so I said I'd take it off their hands. 10,000kms on it and ecu included all ready to go for £800!!

Servicing won't be a problem, but how will you go about getting spares for the engine if something breaks?

dont think much will go wrong with the engine... its only done 10K and he only paid £800 !! ...
honda will be able to provide spares anyway... they hold stocks of parts in belgium... they do for my integra type R DC5 which is JDM spec ...
I know what you are saying, but your DC5 has many similarities with an EP3 CTR, apart from the shell that is, but with the L15 unit, it's only Japan(or asia lets say) and US based AFAIK, so I'd be suprised if Belgium would have these parts as spare?
PS. What colour is your DC5? if you don't mind me asking?
i have a championship white DC5.. the Fit is Pearl White (the wife uses it weekdays, i only use this on weekends to carry my little one)....
I was thinking of using the steel rims for a little longer as the yokohamas on them are like brand new and seem a waste....
i have a set of alloys in the shed... they need a bit of a referb...they are civic coupe vti alloys - i was thinking of spraying them white when the weather gets a bit better.....

Very nice!, you sound like a Honda man all the way, VTI alloys might catch the arches if the car is under load, need to check offset.
I'm tinkering of buying a DC5 myself, but I'm more into turbocharged 4WD machinery. I have just acquired a pearl white 52 plate 'Fit' as a runaround, and I have an 02 plate Jazz in Championship white as a 'project'.
the VTi alloys are only 15s with 195/50 rubber on them so i think it should be ok .. but i will check the offset also....
This is the Pearl White one, I bought it cheap... alloys not the nicest around, but they are light!
CW one has Modulo bodykit and a black bonnet, I'm looking into making it into a track/show car, so going to strip it out and possible K20A, not got any pics yet of that car.
i have some handling problems during turns, do you have any idea where we can buy something like the anti sway bar by PROGRESS..it seems like it will solve the problem base on the forums review..
-just added K&N induction kit and spoon strut bar last month
-at the moment saving some for lowering springs
It's a 1.4 SE CVT and I'm lovin it!
