Hi. Topgear magazine this month have a short but rave reviw of the newer one (Import only). I saw one this shape in Dublin recently. Very very nice.
Anyone know how much they are?

Caroline (Speedyboys missus) had one of the DC5's and sold it in lieu of a Skyline, I'm sure she could fill in the gaps.

Adrian,
Are you referring to the import it/ deport it column? I really like the metallic blue color that it comes in. Pricey though! red cow autos or one of those (jap import specialists charging huge prices) had one for sale a while back for ~€35k....ker ching!

Carolines went for €28k so there not cheap but pretty amazing to drive, Although a little rough around town, (Unless your good with the clutch you lurch like a learner)

Very fast (for a 2l na), Rare, Reliable . lovely to look at then theres the VTEC!!

Unusually for FWD the LSD provokes oversteer so its very different to drive from an FTO

like speedyboy said it is a lovely car. It was a dream car to own and I enjoyed every minute of owning it. Came with all the toys as standard - recaro seats, brembo brakes, momo steering wheel, lsd and hid headlights. It had seriously fast acceleration and handled so well and it even gave 30mpg!!

The sensation of vtec was sensational but it was very rough going slower in the low gears but I suppose it was just made to go fast. The prices are approx
01 - €28k
02 - €32k
03 - €36k

Its expensive but they are a savage car, noting like the old typeR

you can get really good info on www.itr-dc5.co.uk
