I drive my DC5 like this all the time in San Francisco, has race header and a 3 inch exhaust. Breaking necks downtown is one of the most fun things to do
Its so damn beautiful. My mum had one & its been a dream to own one of my own. Like seriously love this man. I'm 18 and I'm gonna work towards that man. Starting with a honda civic next week as my first car. Can't wait to get the integra though. Yours is 😍😍😍😍
Pretty cheap, im 24 misses is 21 and its £500 for us. They are great cars but the ep3 personally is one of the cheapest cars for fun on the market. We've got a low mileage facelift and only cost me £3000. ATM I'd rather put the money into my mortgage but one day I'd love to own a ek9/dc5. We'll see.
Brilliant video adam. the DC5 is a good looking car. It really reminds me of the e46 m3 where you really need to punish it to get the best out of it. both cars haven't got any torque,but once you use those rev ranges the car comes alive and enjoyable yo drive. So in a way the DC5 is basically a M3 gahha
Nice review man i picked up the new type r turbo two weeks ago and i have to say i get no where near the same enjoyment as the dc5 or dc2 simply fantastic hondas
Nice work dude 👍🏻 I feel like there's a lot you wanted to say about how the car makes you feel but couldn't put into words. It's definitely an emotional feeling thing than something you can describe. I get that about my little EK4, it's just a gem of a car. Have to agree with you on the looks side of things, Honda really made a good effort on their cars from 2001-2008 ish. The DC5 is the standout though...such beautiful looks and nothing short of perfect in Championship White. You've done well to earn yourself a car like this...don't scare us again by considering selling it!
you sound like a english virsion of me. i just bought a ep3 type r. not the euro version it s the same colours power and everything. but i here ya brother. lifted my world to a high i ve never felt before. love the video.
Type R is life 😍 your dc5 is sick as fuck!! This would look epic next to my EP3 lol keep up the good work Adam! U remind me of myself I just love Hondas 👍🏼
Awesome video, you take the words right out of my mouth as i own a blue dc5 type r and love them. Your channel and passion for hondas is an inspiration bro. Im all the way from new zealand. Keep up the good work 👊🏼
Had mine 5 years now and loved it. You were part of the reason I picked one along with seeing some at car meets. Considering a change now as have some money to burn but all the newer stuff doesn't quite cut it. Maybe go for a e90 M3 instead..
Yes Adam! This is the video I've been waiting and waiting for since first starting to watch your channel! I adore the dc5 too and I'd even go as far to say as your dc5 is one of the nicest and cleanest examples I've ever seen. I plan to move on to one after my ep3 and I can only hope it's as nice as yours. If anything, this video just makes me want to see more of it. So yeah, brilliant video Adam and I hope to see more content on this in the future! Keep growing your brilliant channel and brand ☺👍
great video! considering getting one of these in a month or so, the only issue i've heard people consistently talk about is the rusting due to it being a jdm car, is there many things you can do to combat this reliably?
I just bought me a clean example of a DC5 special edition not even a type R and I really like the car. Going from DSG Golf R to a 5 speed manual gearbox is so nice. Yes the car lacks power but the driving experience is superb and I hope to keep the car to take out the K20A3 that is in it and replace it with the K24/K20a2 engine and 6 speed box in the future.
sick bro can see the genuine joy in your face haha I'd be all smiles from ear to ear too sick ride glad ya keeping the dc5 but so sad to see the ek9 go thou but from a multiple car owner as well I hear why you sold it but I'm a Honda nut so having two type r's hella brownie points lol keep the vids coming
this or an fd2 type r? On the surface they seem similar. both fwd vtec type r's with one being newer but how different is the experience between the 2? Are they even comparable? thanks, great video and God I love the styling of the dc5!
So good I had to watch this again. Love this car. Haha the end with undertaking the Micra and hooning past the Focus in vtec gives me as much buzz as vtec myself 😆
I heard your friend Rick has similar stories to those that you have that you couldn't tell. Maybe you could tell us what Rick did in his old Integra type R...
Gotta love that vtec sound.. it's like a music to my ears... 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻 i have the same car but its a dc5 type s here in the U.S and that vtec though... broooommmmmmm..
super mad car!! always wanted one for myself rather than a DC2. are you coming over to Germany Nurburgring this year? would love to meet you (guys) and take you on for a lap in our cars!
@@Murphy252000 anytime my dude, try drive both before you decide as theyre so drastically different! S2000 is deffo on the list for me at some point depending how £ goes
@@adamivell never driven either mate but always lasted after a dc2 as those were the shit when younger. Now I'm in position to get one they are rare as hell and I think s2000 just looks the balls.....I currently drive a 1.25 mk6 fiesta, 🤣
Honestly? They don't compare. I'd much rather have a DC5. I've owned a CR-X Si, Eg6 Civic SiR, Eg6 Civic SiR II, EK9 Civic Type R, and a JDM DC5 ITR. I've also driven both '96 spec and '98 spec JDM DC2 ITRs. The JDM DC2Rs are a buzz box, the steering rack feels like every other '90s Honda (like mush), and the B series engines are beyond old. The DC5 does everything the older Hondas do but better. It's much more comfortable to be in, it handles better, and it goes much faster. You can also have a conversation in the car, and the cabin is so isolated with the windows up that it's damn near difficult to hear any noises from the outside (to include sirens but that's a story for another time). Only thing the DC2 does better is it's much easier to work on, and personally, I think they're much more reliable cars. In terms of reliability, post Y2K Hondas are extremely disappointing, and the DC5 is no exception. And unlike the DC2, the DC5 is a massive pain in the ass to work on if you don't have a lift as the engine has to come out to do almost anything to it, and the crossmember has to be removed for the most mundane of tasks.
How much did you sell yours for Adam? I'm waiting on a fresh import 63k miles same as yours for 11.5k from torque prices seem mental but hoping it's worth it :)
@@adamivell that's really cheap considering how low the mileage was! Looks like I'm going to loose a fortune come resale lol. People seem to be struggling to sell them
@@carl3380 Yeah i was desperate to sell it so i could pay for my Silvia mate, but tbh theyre only worth what someones willing to pay, someone may have 12gs to buy one, someone else maybe has 10, just the way it goes aint it!
That limiter action is what we all need in our lives
Jamie_FYD and the vtec of course
Jamie_FYD when are you going to give in and just buy a Honda....
Jamie_FYD buy a honda, you know it would be the perfect purchase
Buying a DC5 tomorrow, so excited and just can't sleep. the Type Rs, they never die.
Enjoy :))
It will bring smiles to your face constantly.
Hope you all enjoy my video, the song is Inukshuk - a world away, Thanks Nath, Daryl, Elliot & tom for their help filming this video.
6TWO1 great vid. You're welcome to do one on my fd2
100% taking you up on that offer. lets let this weather do one first, then when its brighter we can get together and make some movie magic
6TWO1 Is this still going to happen? I hope it does!
It's so refreshing to see someone who is genuinely in love with their car and isn't afraid to say it. Absolutely love this.
Preach the power of the k20. I'd be lost without my ep3 30th anniversary it's the best car iv ever owned and it makes me smile everyday I drive it.
I drive my DC5 like this all the time in San Francisco, has race header and a 3 inch exhaust. Breaking necks downtown is one of the most fun things to do
Get yourself someone that gets just as excited as Adam when he's hitting vtec in his Dc5r 😏
The noise it makes when it bounces of the limiter is ear porn
Its so damn beautiful. My mum had one & its been a dream to own one of my own. Like seriously love this man. I'm 18 and I'm gonna work towards that man. Starting with a honda civic next week as my first car. Can't wait to get the integra though. Yours is 😍😍😍😍
*Watches video*
*Goes on eBay*
*Searches 'dc5'*
Michael Douglas do it!
I've got an ep3 which was fairly cheap to buy and cheap to insure. Maybe one day...
Michael Douglas I don't know if they can be classed as cheap to buy, but my insurance is less than £350 with NCB protection and breakdown cover etc.
Pretty cheap, im 24 misses is 21 and its £500 for us. They are great cars but the ep3 personally is one of the cheapest cars for fun on the market. We've got a low mileage facelift and only cost me £3000. ATM I'd rather put the money into my mortgage but one day I'd love to own a ek9/dc5. We'll see.
Michael Douglas that's fair enough mate :)
Glad to meet someone who loves DC5 as much as I do. And treats it right. I'm subscribed.
I pick my DC5 up next month, fresh import! I can't wait and this video makes the wait feel so long man!
Sick! enjoy man
6TWO1 cheers bud, sure I'll be ordering bits from you soon! Keep on bringing the content man, appreciate the effort you put in!
loved it! great video bro
Zosh thanks man!
Just got a fantastic DC5..in immaculate condition..it beautiful and is a beast on the road.
Such a great video once again! Would love to see more videos the same format as this!
This year its my goal to make more like this mate
Mine is 2002, also all stock, cannot stop loving it.
Brilliant video adam. the DC5 is a good looking car. It really reminds me of the e46 m3 where you really need to punish it to get the best out of it.

Someone's loving the limiter! There's nothing like absolutely beating on a honda knowing it'll be absolutely fine afterwards. Unreal
Nice review man i picked up the new type r turbo two weeks ago and i have to say i get no where near the same enjoyment as the dc5 or dc2 simply fantastic hondas
who doesnt love a teg type r though? blue is best imo
CATALYTIC UK yellow is og
lol blue isn't even a proper typeR colour....they fucked up using it on the dc5
yuck!
The 6 people who disliked the vid , are probably people who lost to a honda at some point in life😂
My Golf R smokes Hondas 🙃
@@Gius3pp3K then you havent raced a fast honda.

One of the prettiest cars from Honda 👌

dc5's just don't age!
another sic video dude.
you ain't never selling this man.
sounds absolutely sick!!
I own one but got so excited just watching this. Love the Rick and Morty refs.
Here in Canada i have a turbo RSX-S with the Type-R Brembo brake swap and LSD.
Had mine 5 years now and loved it. You were part of the reason I picked one along with seeing some at car meets.

Great video mate. Your face when you're describing it when you can hear it in vtec I couldn't help but smile. Best feeling ever. Love it in my fn2 ☺️
excellent video bro.. loving your and Danny's content. both great people to watch.

great video dude, I have the same feels for my facelift cosmic grey ep3, makes me smile every time I drive it, keep up the good work mate 👍👍
the clip at the end going onto the motorway! wow satisfaction
sick bro can see the genuine joy in your face haha I'd be all smiles from ear to ear too sick ride glad ya keeping the dc5 but so sad to see the ek9 go thou but from a multiple car owner as well I hear why you sold it but I'm a Honda nut so having two type r's hella brownie points lol keep the vids coming
I have the type S and still love it.
It's really fun to drive. Its my daily at the moment.
Might get the type R for a track day car one day
Mental. Seeing your DC5 in your videos has made me grow a little soft spot for them
Ahhh man totally did it justice. Cracking vid. Now all you need to do is take me out in it so i can feel the love myself! VTEC really is an addiction.
Watch your videos all the time, and i got to tell you, watching this one has kinda gave me a kick up the arse to get my ep3 sorted and out. 👍🏿
That was the same reaction I had when I bought mine, wanted one for over 3 years lol :)
Brilliant video man 👍 love the teg so much!!.. Just a thought tho, couldn't you get some spoon/hardrace rca's to maybe help eliminate the bump steer?
My dream car, hopefully one day! Thanks for the awesome video!
Personally im more of a EK9 and DC2 fan but this video is awesome... Dc5 fan from now on! 🙌
The bit about the J's racing exhaust...the way you moved swiftly on...
Yet another great vid, well done bro! Loving the ITR 👌
I absolutely love the video wonderful content. Keep up the good work mate!:)
I want 1 more than ever now. Great vid man never miss one
Oh wow Adam video is unreal and that's some great roads I know them well 🎥👍🏻
this or an fd2 type r? On the surface they seem similar. both fwd vtec type r's with one being newer but how different is the experience between the 2? Are they even comparable? thanks, great video and God I love the styling of the dc5!
Kevin Ho I love the dc5r more than the fd2r but I'm pretty sure the fd2 has more potential as they corrected the suspension from stock.
Sounds mean as hell!
...and look at that fancy drone footage!!
sick car man , what exhaust system is fitted into your car?
ive always said the dc5 looks like a shark lol. funny you said the same
17 and could relate to this video 110%
So good I had to watch this again. Love this car. Haha the end with undertaking the Micra and hooning past the Focus in vtec gives me as much buzz as vtec myself 😆
Mate loved the trips in your Black DC5!!
I heard your friend Rick has similar stories to those that you have that you couldn't tell. Maybe you could tell us what Rick did in his old Integra type R...
More videos of the DC5 on the road please!!!
The integra looks awesome 😎. I am getting the fk8 in a couple of weeks.
Love your videos man! Regards from barcelona!
Gotta love that vtec sound.. it's like a music to my ears... 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻 i have the same car but its a dc5 type s here in the U.S and that vtec though... broooommmmmmm..
iSLowDC5 u cringy
What kind of mods you have in the engine ?? Is the engine the k20a2??
Love your dc5 man !!
It's a JDM K20A. The K20A2s are from USDM Dc5 or RSX.
My future second car my first wrx 15
If you loved the oem steering wheel, you could have retrimmed it to oem spec - not too expensive and looks great.
If you love the DC5 mate you should try out the FD2. By far my favorite Honda.
dc5 way more special imo
Can't lie, whenever I get in mine I feel like a kid in a go kart, it's immense.
super mad car!! always wanted one for myself rather than a DC2.
are you coming over to Germany Nurburgring this year? would love to meet you (guys) and take you on for a lap in our cars!
loving the videos adam, the dc5 is a fine car 👍
Nice video mate!! Would love a dc5
aye what's the difference between the Honda integra dc5 and acura rsx arent they the same thing?
really good video Adam only just noticed this one must have missed it
great video, Im driving CL7 euro r atm. I would like to change to FD2 CTR .
btw, I am not a fan of J's racing exhaust haha
Hi Adam, can you recommend the best place to pick a DC5 up? I’m currently in the market for one and I’m not sure on where to look. Cheers
Unsure dude just look for an enthusiast owned one, so many rough ones now
Best intro to a video 😍 literally my face 😵😵😵
Couldn't agree more.
What exhaust setup is that? Sounds Good
Top video Adam!
Great car; I had a Type S ;) You should of kept the beautiful stock steering wheel, especially the airbag!
I want that sweatshirt how much shipped to the USA?
Such a cool car and video!
Adam I'm so torn, one of these, a dc3 or an s2000? I feel all will appreciate going forward. Thanks mate
All will go up in value but I feel the Dc5 or s2000 will be worth the most one day.
@@adamivell Thanks for reply mate, you come across as super genuine. Cheers from NI

Enjoyed this video a lot.
Curious to know If you've driven dc2 r's and how they compare to dc5. I hear dc2's are rawer in feeling although cant beat k20 power

Cool video although I went from EK9 to DC5 and they are two totally different beasts!
I agree with just about everything. Just sucks I can't buy one
For ages now I have wanted the integra type r dc5 but I still got to wait 4 years to even have a chance because I'm 13 😭
Legendary car! Thanks for the vid!
What's your opinion on the ep3 type r premier edition? Not your cup of tea I bet
RepsolHonda26 I really like them! Kieran at work has one 🤙🏻
thankful this video was made
2.56 dat synchro tho

Can I ask how much do people with DC5's pay for insurance. I'm 19 and a DC5 is my dream car but insurance quotes have only ever come out at like £4000
dom smith yeh don't even bother looking until you're 21 dude
Most of the Tegs' Type Rs is in Malaysia
And now I'm hoping the prices of these things wont sky rocket in the next 5 years
