Honda Integra DC5 Milano Red

[MikeGoodwin]

Sold the DC5 recently so thats my petrol head career put on hold for a while while I am working on London, having two cars to myself and using neither seemed stupid and i'd sooner it wasn't sat about doing sweet FA. I think if anything ever replaces the DC5 it will be a K20 Elise S2 or Westfield but that will be a long time away and Ill have to clear out the garage

Had an oil service at TGM before it left me, cool shot with a DC2 I thought. TGM were nothing short of brilliant whenever I went down there.

The DC5 was a brilliant car to own I just wish Id of got one sooner, much more engaging than my M3 ever was.

Glad you enjoyed it mate, the new owner hasn't tracked me down and grilled me about it so that's probably a good sign! But we both know what a good example it was... only wish i had driven it after you had the clutch and those bits and pieces done to the suspension!

Just thought I'd say hello on here, I'm the new owner of the car and very happy with it. The condition of the car and standard it has been kept in is a credit to you both.

I've done a few smalls bits and pieces to the car since having it, nothing major yet as I want to keep it fairly standard.

It's going in to Torque GT for a health check next week before I drive it to the Nurburgring at the end of the month. I've asked them to re centre the steering wheel as it's a little to the right and I'm also going to ask them to have a look for a leak as the car appears to be loosing/using coolant.

Thanks again to Mike for selling the car to me, absolute gent to deal with and made the sale hassle free

If either of you are ever down in Cornwall feel free to get in touch and you'd be more than welcome to take the car out for a blast.

Cheers,

Steve

Top man, glad to hear its gone to a good home... Nurburgring will be a blast in the DC5, and very much where it belongs as a driving experience too.

Steve, have you noted the other Milano DC5 owner on this thread has a shot of it taken on the Hoe? Looks like the two will be in close proximity from now on

Very tidy example, love Milano Red when its kept polished! My FN2 gleamed.

Hey Buddy, Cornedbeef kindly gave me a shout and I've finally got around to actually replying.. Better late than never huh. Owner of the other Milano Red unicorn as pictured below . Was awesome to see you and yours at TGM, you captured them both together very nicely! Some beautiful pictures above in this thread too. I would definitely still be up for a drive/pics - I'm sure we could get some fairly unique shots with two red DC5s. What is your username on the forum or insta? DM if necessary.

Did you red DC5 chaps ever meet up? That shots taken in Portsmouth isn't it Aiya? Are you local?

Haha that's awesome mate. Is it a case of rubbing salt in the wounds seeing it crop back up all the time? haha

What dates are you at the ring? I'll be there from the 1st of August until the 5th in my DC5.

I loved it dearly, but after spending a four figure sum on the respray i felt like it owned me... it's nice seeing the two subsequent owners enjoy it without having that weight around their necks...and it's had some great further improvements that I wanted to do but just couldn't justify at the time.

And as my wife says, the Toyota bB is much more "me"

At least you didn't spend a four figure sum on a set of driveshafts mate

But yeh I feel you, the Accord has a generous amount of stone chips on the bonnet now, I can't bring myself to get it resprayed because I know that first chip post-respray would kill me haha. PPF is an option but then you're talking even more money.

Glad you're enjoying the BB! I still need to decide what to do next year, get myself an interesting daily or sell the Accord and get an FD2… options!
