DC5 teggys

[docwra]

My brother is in the market for a new car - hes currently rocking a 172 clio, which although wicked, is starting to show signs of age now. He considered a megane 225 (too pricey), doesnt really fancy a Type R Civic or any of that bunch, and was a bit stuck until I suggested a DC5 Teg. He likes :D

Anyone give me some info on where to find them, what kind of money to pay etc.?? Any sexy pics would be appreciated as well - if he buys a teggy I can drive it :D

£18,500 for an '06 facelift, so the DC5 should be coming down in price, hard. Probably less than 10k.

DC5s are fast!!! Much faster than CTRs/172s etc. If I had the money Id love one as an NA Hack!

err.... not really. 217bhp versus 197 in the ctr, same gearbox & slightly heavier. They're quicker but not exactly by much. It would be down to the drivers - missed gearchange, or buggered launch would completely stuff a drag against each other

im at Newera tomorrow if they have a DC5 there will find out :)

Hmm, interesting. The only evidence I have of DC5s being a lot faster is the ones ive encountered on the road. Ive played with a few DC5s, and a few CTRs, and the CTRs are slow in comparison.

I think Youll Find the Civic Prefacelift without A/c is just as fast as a stock DC5, Its the lightest and is apparently 0.2 secs faster to 60, Mine was in comparison ,very quick, was in red though so maybe thats why:wack: , And when i played with it it obviously Would Have them, But anyhow, there is a video of the CTR vs The DC5 TegR being tested together on a track, the CTR wins, but, its a JDM spec, wich means Both Cars have the K20a Engine in, About 217 to 225bhp, over here we get the lame, K20a2 with 197bhp, and the Type s has the,(u gessed it) K20a3, 160bhp, So the Civic being the Lighter just wins.

I think with same driver, in time battles the JDM TegR will Beat a Euro CTR Round a Track, Especielly the Facelift, and the New Latest model. I will Try and get the link of the above test i mentioned...

[Quail]

Would definitely like to see that :nod:

[Sideways Danny]

but the DC5 is a proper sports car and the CTR is a 3 door mpv, no contest really

But anyhow, there is a video of the CTR vs The DC5 TegR being tested together on a track, the CTR wins, but, its a JDM spec, wich means Both Cars have the K20a Engine in, About 217 to 225bhp, over here we get the lame, K20a2 with 197bhp.

as you say this is comparing two jdm cars, however the ctr is a little heavier than the dc5, ive seen this bmi vid, and it doesnt win by a great deal! these cars are so evenly matched that had the teg been in front its doubtful the ctr would have gotten past either

dont think it mate, its a definate!!:D

Ahem...technically both are scrabble and thus are not real sports cars.:D

However out the two ... well lets just say i wouldnt be clambering for the keys to the bread van...

[mikegsi]

aye, scrabble away;) :D

I don't 'get' DC5's, perhaps i'm missing something:
I love DC2's, and was under the impression their 'raison d'etre' was to be a lightweight, nimble, hardcore fast road/track car.

To me it seems like the DC5 is heavier, and more 'comfortable', defeating half the object of the car. Am i missing something? I'm not being argumentative, i just genuinely don't understand, it seems to contradict what i thought was the philosophy of the 'teg. :confused:

oh, and it looks lardy :wack:
I'd love a champ. white DC2 though :smitten:

[docwra]

Meh, he decided against the Teg and bought a Denzil Seat Leon instead :(

To be fair he has a longer drive to work now and is averaging 55 mpg, but Id still rather he got a Teg :nod:

[dunc]

Thats a bit poop about the Leon :( Just my belated 2p though - My experiences on the road put the DC5 as being noticably faster than a CTR :)

Dunc.

saw a nice blue one today, sounded really nice:nod: (a dc5 that is:D)

[docwra]

The Leon has grown on me over the few days its been parked outside the house though - its quick (60-90 is funny :D), comfy, nice looking and economical :thumbs:

But it just isnt JDM Tyte :(

the dc5 is weight saved everywhere you could think - it hasnt got any sound deadening at all and it has stiffening bars everywhere, my mate has one and it is a pretty amazing car

my mate (adriank on here) has a dc5, might be worth sending him a pm
