View Full Version : My project - Getting closer.......
Well under the reasoning of Justin i decided to share this with all of you guys. I was going to detail everything once its done but what the hell. Hopefully it will contribute to the forums in some way and show that honda owners are not just all ricers :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Anyways abit of history, some of you might have seen my car already from awhile back. Ive had it for a few years now and whilst the first build was complete within 1.5 years this new build is taking abit longer.
It was the first car i modified "seriously" and i loved driving it. I sold it to a friend and purchase myself an evo but it was just not for me. When time came around i offered my friend to repurchase the car and to do it up my way with no compromises.
My build would be classified as stupid by some because you shouldn't/wouldn't spend that much money on a type r. Yes i know that a used gt3 was within the target price range previous to setting out the 2nd build but this is not what the car is about. I have always had a love for the most top tier of modifications.
Whilst the photos wont show you all the pics of all the parts i think it highlights and documents the process quite well.
Aims?
1000KG
Sub 1.50 time at EC
1.10 at Wakefield
The following link has most of the pictures but the newer pics will be included in this thread.

Since the last picture was updated on that website i have acquired some additional parts.

Whoa Jing..
I heard about your project from Daniel at soasiandvd, but damn it thats impressive man.
Your my inspiration now !! haha soooo many people have said even to my moderate level build "why are you wasting your money ? its only a gtt" or "you could have bought a gtr already"
After seeing this though I think im that little bit more motivated to carry on with mine :D
Cant wait to see the finished product....
and 1:10 at wakie ?? pfffftttt im aiming for that in my whale, you should be aiming for 1:08s man !!!! :P
thanks for the comment guys :)

You cant have a cage anymore for street car even if its engineered
..................... awesome...
are you going to paint the carbon fibre though?
absolutely, im not after cf look. Apart from mirror and gt wing actually.
I first had a set of vision mirrors, untill last week i haven't been able to find the one i really want which was the phase racing/asm racing mirror.
Im happy to report last week i found the mirrors and a pair is coming down to Australia!
Stands are in black

I love you Jing. Hot shots and this car gets me SO EXCITED ARGH!!!!!!!!!
THANKS for sharing man. :)
:shock: Nice work Jing, great to see more fast Honda's being built.
Holy shit.
Hottest DC5 build I have ever seen in Oz. Nice work Jing - please keep us updated!
Are those motorbike mirrors gonna be customly made to fit on the DC5? If so, how?
PS. Awesome project, thread subscribed!
like so
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a57/HunterEz/Misc/Mracing/IMG_0022.jpg
That looks absolutely fantastic.
I'm full of anticipation for the final build, something like this takes massive dedication and it's going to be stunning.
never knew you where such a beautiful babe, lol.
nice project my friend!you have more pics of your car? because i really like it
very very cool!!
So is this going to be a circuit only monster? or are you going to find some way of registering it.
Deviliss
03-06-07, 07:06 AM

Justin Fox
03-06-07, 10:49 AM
Come on guys it's obviously a circuit monster!!! You really think Jing's going to do his grocery shopping in this beasty?!
yes~ can hang the groceries on the cage :D
Justin Fox
03-06-07, 11:02 AM
You mean hang his Hugo Boss suit on the cage? LOL.
this has a long parts list for 1.10's at wakefield im pretty sure it should be capeable of smashing a 1.10 good luck nice build
Justin Fox
03-06-07, 12:41 PM

Be sure to post a approximation on how much you spent at the end of it. kay?
nah id rather people not know how much money the whole car's worth for personal reasons. The car's cost is not important the finished product is :)

sorry man, dont know why I actually asked...small high phase probably.
DC5's are only good when they are done right.
I love the fact that you are painting your Carbon Fibre.
sorry man, dont know why I actually asked...small high phase probably.
No need to be sorry mate
nah id rather people not know how much money the whole car's worth for personal reasons. The car's cost is not important the finished product is :)
thumbs up :)
Who cares on how much you spent on it.
The finished products is the most important bit
whats the retail on one of those

Guess you can't put a price on passion
wow. i think its unreal that you kept it on the low Jing.
some great work there mate.
give me a hint on some engine goodies!
was the car purchased new/2nd hand and slowly turned into this, or was it purchased as something that couldnt be used for road and went all out with the build?
cant wait to see this completed.
Nah the car was purchase pretty much new and ive had it for awhile. The only reason why i purchased my particular dc5r back is because i knew it has never had one accident in its entire life and thats something which is hard to find out there for a car of this age i guess.
This was the car's last life thanks to Easton

Talk about transformations huh?! :)
looking good jing! perfect colour choice! :)
Awesome build Jing...if I had the money I would have gone for the CW transformation too :)
CW DC5R....yum.
thanks derek. Although i like cw im not too super fussed about it. The reason why i had to do it was when we stripped out all the silicon stuff between welds to seam weld the car we had to strip all the paint off it and welding and so forth. The car was due for a respray after that.. Thought id just do it properly with the type r color of choice......... :D
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
i always 'heard' you got another project beside the micra, but didn't know the project was that huge??

damn i lost....and now you have a vital piece of my rego documentation that says that my car is roadworthy.....what am i going to do!!!!!

The way it works is that if I win, you have to pay for my next pink slip.

DumHed is as DumHed does.
when does this car hit the track? I'll be interested to see it go!
I was sent a link to this because the aims of the project are pretty much the same as mine (except I want to do under 1:50 / under 1:10 / under 1000kg, and under 10 grand :))
All good so far, just gotta drop a couple more seconds :)
2 or 3 month i guess. Project deadlines are never real deadlines as anyone would know :)

LOL i know what you mean!
I don't have deadlines, I just get sick of working on stuff when I want to be driving, which means hurrying up :)
well as someone wise said to me. You can enjoy the modification step too. Bit by bit i guess.

Dude that is freaking awsome. I think you are my new hero! well done so far, and I am super excited to see the final stages!!!

Those times are my goals as well.....eventually :P
Assuming those are times for EC and Wakie respectively.
Except there is NO way I can get under 1000kg and keep it under 10 grand haha.
Money wise, I dont even wanna talk about it, its better not to hehe, but in terms of weight I think even if I go carbon doors and carbon boot the best I can get is like 1250kg or there abouts.
Sorry to hijack the thread Jing.
Except there is NO way I can get under 1000kg and keep it under 10 grand haha.
that's why they invented Silvias :)

Jing that some awesome stuff....cant wait for it to be finished... Im sure you should be able to break the 1:10 mark at wakefleid.
sexuan chicken right there... :lol:
when I 1st unpacked this CF door I was like WTF , Super light door
damn! nice!
Just wondering, how much power are you expecting to put down to push sub-1000kgs under 1.10 sec round wakie? Wouldnt need to be massive ay? thing weighs bugger all!
OMG.
Nice man - you really are going all out. This car is going to look great when you're done (not to mention being fast).
Gorilla
06-07-07, 08:45 AM
Jingy, could have just thrown a Beams 3SGE in your Sprinter..would be quicker..toyota power you know....haha jk!
Hey, is this going to be road registered? Are you going to paint the doors white? And are they legal for street use...?
Nice stuff man.
MaxZmus
06-07-07, 08:58 AM
I guess you can pop the original doors on to get through engineering and then pop the CF ones later and no one would know.
Looks pretty impressive.
Big ups for taking the plunge.
Any clues on engine you'll be running? and who will be building it? Hope you go turbo or SC for some real Jiggy power.
very nice.. can wait to see it at the track.
how much does the dc5r weigh in std trim?
fatboyz39
06-07-07, 10:45 AM
wow keep up the goodwork.
speechless
can we see it in colour?
yes the door outer skin will be painted white to match. I am not really a fan of bare carbon parts.
In answer to the engine here is my response on the other forum that i visit
to be honest im not experienced with high power fwd cars.
My ideals are that fwd and power usually dont mix up to a certain amoout of power and i am interested in finding this limit out at the track. However its not something you can find by just looking into your account and seeing how much money u should spend. As such power setup will be ECU/I/H/E mods which should net me along 130kw at the minimum.
From there we will do extensive track testing and see. I would like to achieve the goals using a stock engine as my primary interest is weight reduction. But yeah power is something that is not too hard to come by with the k series. Id be super happy with egk20a's engine performance
lol yeah sure why not post color pics tonight, but i mean cf is black anyways LOL

the more you lighten the car the higher power to weight ratio the car will have so effectivley its like making more horsepower alot like putting a k20 into a civic
either way reducing the weight will help with everything and your spending some big $$$ should be an machine once its done

Good point.........once you get power to weight down to the 7's things get pretty fark'n interesting.
you should look at getting cams so you can drive it on bathurst......hahhahah fark'n race car on that track would be heaven.

this thing is an inspiration to us all
Jing whats the quality on the doors like ?
Cant wait to see this finished :)
typical japanese pieces.
Dry carbon finish inside with a clear coat layer on the outside. Should be standard fitment for all electricals/window gear but we will have to try and seee how it works out.
Made by a well known jap company so should AOK!
Jing your not planning on putting back the window mechanism/original door handles etc?
id get flat signage in black or a CF sheet with rivets and make your own inner door trims
