Hi All, :wavey:

I just got my DC5R 2004 (pre facelift) model yesteday after waiting for 3 months.
I got a ticket when drving it back also

I would like to thank Timmy for his giudance & tips on how to look for a good DC5R few months back.
Thanks man!!!
I think i got an ok car but need the sifu's here to decide that

Hope i can meet all of you soon.

Some Questions already

1. I started the car today morning and found out that during the engine warm-up period mild white smoke is coming out from the exhaust. Is this normal?

2. When drving back yesterday, i also feel that the engine rev is on the higher side. It feels rough
when i start the engine. It this normal too?

Thank you guys.

wow....congrats and welcome to the community...

Mild white smoke? Does it have like a sharp stink to it and kinda blueish? If it does and constant (all the time), u need to be worried. But if it's just a bit during warm up, no need to worry. Ur engine and exhaust system could just be retaining a lot of moisture.

Ha ha , Vino , good to hear that you've got your car already.

i havent seen you in a while.

the white smoke during morning start up is normal, it's the steam from the burning of moisture in the exhaust pipe, which has probably condensed during night time.

bring your car by some time, and take me for a ride bro!!!!

EXACTLY !!!

thank you thank you !

Hi dvino, welcome to the club!

About the smoke, i agree with minivan and timmy-the-gay.

About the engine rev on the high side, Type-R engines are best driven at high revs!!
High revs is where it really performs!

On the rough engine, if you haven't already done so, i suggest you send it to a workshop and do a full service, including draining, bleeding and replacing ALL FLUIDS like engine oil, transmission/LSD oil, brake and clutch fluid, power steering fluid, etc.
You sales man might have told you he has services the car, etc, DO NOT believe.
Better safe than sorry.

If you are not used to the car, take it easy first, get to know its handling and power better before driving in extremes.
Don't get poisoned by prasath-mr-230whp to go track so soon.
Stock DC5R clutch is very soft and so not stiff. Either yours is using aftermarket ones or you really need to change your clutch fluid.

Hope to see u at the next TT session.

p.s. timmy IS THE ONLY gay dc5 driver. We have learnt to accept that, so shall you.

Thanks bro Slick......

sure i cannot fight Mr.230whp ( my god) and not to forget Timmy's monster

anyway guys, what kind of alarm system that you guy think is ok?

 

[minivan]

I not too sure these guys really know much about alarms as it doesnt make their cars go faster or stop harder or go round corners faster... all i know is most have 2 way alarms... :tongue: thats all i know...

 

[tidalflux]

Welcome man! Btw, get the alarm system FAST!, and make sure its a good one too! I didnt really care about security, and a month later, paid the price - some ****er broke in my car and took my dvd player..tried stealing the car too, but i think the dumbass didnt know how to start the car. Worst of all, all this happened in broad daylight in an open car park. So yeah, dont take any chances, use steering lock/ clutch lock etc! CAPTOR even better. Enjoy..!
