I came close to giving up on a supercharged Prelude and in place of a DC5. But it would have to be the facelift without the saggy flappy bingo wing head and rear lights.

I do like them. But i like the DC2. Cant choose....sticking with Prelude. Win.

Just kidding Ratty, well impressed with you doing it all tbh

Went to view and test drive a DC5 this afnoon and kerching! hopefully collecting it next weekend

Its much better than I expected and the dashboard is much better in person than what I have seen in the photo's. The car certainly feels very driver focussed.
The plan is to keep this one completely stock apart from an induction kit for the glorious N/A sound track, and just to really tidy It up and keep it in good condition. I think once the lude is back on the road i'll put it in storage as they don't seem to be depreciating!

How does it handle etc etc In comparison.

Facelift or pre facelift?

Nice work

Look forward to the detailed comparison.

(

Does anyone supercharge those things?)

Its a pre facelift model, the later ones seem to attract a bit of a premium and tbh I can't justify the extra cost, plus this one was local! I didn't push it as its not my car yet but when the guy gave it some beans it felt pretty planted.

I don't think i'll be able to really feel the difference between the Lude & DC5 until I drive them back to back.
