Not a 306 - Gunge - 07-01-2012
Well for the last 8-9 years i've modified no other car, owning 43 in total (at last count but no doubt ive missed some) i'd changed my number to a 306 number was almost to the point of changing my birthday to 3rd June so thought it was time to try something different with a budget of up to £7k i decided to look for a new car, various cars caught my attention, but if im honest it was having a spin out with Jon (CUJ) in his DC5 at Llandow that made my mind up that i'd get a DC5, during last year i found myself just being tight and not actually buying 1
my new years resolution was to actually get 1 this year, i went yesterday and collected this ![[Image: IMAG0061.jpg]](http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x153/gunge22/DC5%20Integra%20Type%20R/IMAG0061.jpg)

Give it a quick once over this morning but cant wait to actually get the machine out and get the paint work up to standard

Wheels aren't great so i plan to paint them, i think im going to do them white (as i always do) bumpers have marks so will probably re paint them and there a few general bits that i want to tidy up but overall im happy with it
Re: Not a 306 - Ed Doe - 07-01-2012
Firstly, HOW MANY?!?!?! lol!
Secondly, I call dibs on the rallye
Thirdly, I'd sortof had half an eye on one of these for a long time. Don't have the funds at the moment, and I'm not done with 306's by a long shot, but I've always liked these!
What are they like to drive?
Re: Not a 306 - Jacko - 07-01-2012
love DC5's! Is CUJ the one with the white Type-R DC5? It's so win!
Re: Not a 306 - Poodle - 07-01-2012
wtaf, Gunge bought something that isn't a 306?! O.o
Looks nice fella, got any plans to mod it?
Re: Not a 306 - Ian - 07-01-2012
Love the Teg's
Nice work
Re: Not a 306 - Foxy-jim - 07-01-2012
Looks pretty nice! Got any major plans?
Re: Not a 306 - Scott - 07-01-2012
I've got a soft spot for tegs, and I'd love a DC5 but I'm just not sure I could justify spending £7k+ on one when you can more for your money in that price range. Not knocking it at all, it looks awesome and I'm sure it's a great car to drive, and I know I'd have one if offered the chance!
Re: Not a 306 - Gunge - 07-01-2012
I didnt pay 7k for this 1 it was on ebay for auction with no reserve and ended on Tuesday so doubt it had much real interest i paid well under what its worth, when i said a 7k budget that would have been for a 2003-2005 white 1 with black interior, only plans i have is to tidy it up refurb wheels, clear repeaters, polish up fading on headlamps, polish gear knob scratches out, for paint work detail re paint brembo's etc etc etc
Re: Not a 306 - Scott - 07-01-2012
Ah fair enough! If you didn't pay near full whack then for it then it sounds like you might have gotten yourself a bargain
Lets just hope it's not got a bad story as I saw a few DC5s a while back (not that I was looking 
) for around the £5,500 mark but they were all Cat Ds.
Re: Not a 306 - Gunge - 07-01-2012
yeah there was a white cat d in Ireland that i'd got the guy down to 4850 but wouldnt bring to the post for me to i turned it down, this 1 is hpi clear 1 owner since coming in to the UK in 2003 full Honda history with low mileage
Re: Not a 306 - Gunge - 02-02-2012
Well i know i said i wouldn't modify this but i have
only bought some things so far want to get a day or 2 to give it a good machine polish before fitting I have some clear side repeaters with silvertec bulbs and a Carbon bonnet

Re: Not a 306 - hbomb1905 - 02-02-2012
I know they're very capable cars but not for me looks wise!
Would love an import DC2 though!
Will be nice to watch this thread and see what happens with it!
Re: Not a 306 - tomcannon - 02-02-2012
Tidy purchase Simon. I've alway's fancied the older integra's, the DC2(?) ignore my poor knowledge; the one with the round hole headlight look! You mentioned giving her a mop, would you consider doing this to other's cars in exchange for cash? My HDI estate needs a good seeing to, plus I want to see the rallye!
Let me know either on here or on the 6 forum.
Cheers, Tom.

![[Image: IMAG0034.jpg]](http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x153/gunge22/DC5%20Integra%20Type%20R/IMAG0034.jpg)
And fitted the clear side repeaters with silver bulbs

Just need to paint wheels & calipers get some new wheel 'H' badges and 'Brembo' caliper stickers & some lowering springs
and i might fit some carbon grill and boot badges, then when funds allow i'll be smoothing front bumper (to move number plate) and painting both bumpers front has scratches and rear has crazed paint, i'll be fitting new number plates then as the 1s on it look shit ![[Image: IMAG0271-1.jpg]](http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x153/gunge22/DC5%20Integra%20Type%20R/IMAG0271-1.jpg)
wheels off the car with tyres, valves & weights removed
![[Image: IMAG0272-1.jpg]](http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x153/gunge22/DC5%20Integra%20Type%20R/IMAG0272-1.jpg)
spent a few hours rubbing down and then get them 4 coats of high build primmer

![[Image: IMAG0276.jpg]](http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x153/gunge22/DC5%20Integra%20Type%20R/IMAG0276.jpg)
While its not being used i also decided to have the dash clocks corrected, it had covered 142892 all in KM (previous owner didn't change it) a trader then bought the car and adjusted to read in miles (with above reading on resit) but didnt re adjust reading to read all in miles (hope i've explained that right lol)
current mileage
![[Image: IMAG0273-1.jpg]](http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x153/gunge22/DC5%20Integra%20Type%20R/IMAG0273-1.jpg)
so current mileage 144438 - 142892 = 1546 miles covered since being converted
142892 divide by 100 times 62 = 88593 total miles before being converted
88593 + 1546 = 90139 which is how many miles my car has actually covered
So handed over my clocks and asked the guy to put 90139 on them hopefully he can do it and the next pic will be of my clocks re fitted reading 90139
started by guide coating them with 600 grit wet and dry then wiped them off with de greaser
![[Image: IMAG0278.jpg]](http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x153/gunge22/DC5%20Integra%20Type%20R/IMAG0278.jpg)

![[Image: IMAG0280.jpg]](http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x153/gunge22/DC5%20Integra%20Type%20R/IMAG0280.jpg)

Re: Not a 306 - Ian - 11-03-2012
Looking good. You going to "de-tango" the front lights seen as youve put clear side repeaters on?
Re: Not a 306 - Gunge - 13-03-2012
Just leaving it at the side repeaters as to de tango the headlamps you need to split them
