I've had a DC5, good ones will be few and far between these days, so my advice to you is that when you find one in good nick go for it!

You will not regret it!

its the one in culloden i had out yesterday, its a white DC2 88K on clock (although internet check of reg number differed to this). What a feeling when the VTEC kicks in, sounds like a formula 1 car!!

In Aberdeen so a bit too far!

DC5's and DC2's are both great, currently running a DC5 and it has been awesome.

Keep it serviced and full of good oil and they will last....

Good luck!

And avoid anyone on the road. As all parts have to come from JP. Months of waiting!

I have an Integra Type R DC2 for sale and am located in Edinburgh. I haven't put the car up yet as have been unsure if it's what I definitely want to do. However, after consideration have decided to sell.

If you are genuinely interested I can email you a spec, or if you can wait I will (time permitting) have an advert up on here and on the dc2 and hondarevs forums.

To give you an idea:

1.8 16v VTEC
116,000km = 72,080 miles
No modifications at all, car is as it left the factory
Championship white
Small scuff on front splitter (quoted £50 to have resprayed)
No dents or scratches
Black Recaro seats with no rips/holes/burns
Good discs and plenty life on pads
Four good tyres

Looking for £4200

My email is euanstables@yahoo.com, drop me an email if you're interested and genuinely looking to buy. I would be happy sharing the travelling too, could meet you somewhere in between, again only if you are seriously looking to buy though. I will be free on Sunday and Monday if you would like to view.

Euan

Sorry only realised it was probably that car after i posted.He has a nice clio 182 there too.Maybe not in the same league as the integra but just as much fun.Could be an alternative if you don't find one

That is not true! I have run a DC5 for the last 6 years. Any parts required are ordered through your local Honda dealership. Most come from Belgium and arrive in 2-7 days.

Keep the oil topped up and they won't let you down. Ours is coming up to its 90k service without any problems. It's still on the original clutch!

Exactly - a typically uninformed Japanese import comment...

The sealant lines, and my windscreen for my BB6 prelude, were shipped from their warehouse in Belgium after the unfortunate incident regarding a failed bonnet catch, and a trip down the A9... I think this is where most Honda parts come from nowadays, bar perhaps specific modern JDM examples.


In regards to the OP's question, depending where you are in Scotland, it might be worth a trip to Dicksons in Perth, they claim to be the biggest DC5 supplier in the UK, and might be able to help with a test drive or more!

i have recently bought (3 weeeks ago) a 96 spec dc2 and its great not fastest thing in straights i have driven but on corners not much will keep up, suits my driving style all the reviews are true, does sit at 4-5k revs on motorway though but on a trip of mixed driving got 33 mpg which thought was great. is a really good car, get one !
