Awesome video! Thank you Luke, really do appreciate all the hard work that's gone in to this! And your buckets of sweat that are now in my seat.....😂😂

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Ahhh you're a gooden, Thank you again mate! 💙 Enjoy the sweaty buckets 😘

[@mikematthews2k181]

What a fantastically set up car 👏 just shows you don't need big power to make a track weapon!!

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Spot on! 👌🏻

[@charlien8148]

Thats a sweet sounding k20! That mugen twinloop sounds bang on! Pretty sure that would give the itb s2k a run for its money even though its down on power it just loves to rev. Its amazing what difference a dif final drive makes to the characteristics. Top notch video as always bud

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Sounds mega doesn't it!! I think you're right aswel, was very lively in comparison! Tempted by a 5.3 Final Drive in my Clio now haha! Glad you liked it matey 💙

[@georgivasilev9895]

That’s prove that you don’t need power to have fun . Another great video 🤩 That car is setup well 👍🏎💨🏁

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

So very true mate! Really glad you enjoyed this one too 💙

[@GRfourfun]

Loved this mate, nearly bought a DC5! Proper track weapon! Must say mate I think it’s impressive how you get in to anyone’s car and really drive it! Also for the first time at Croft 👌🏻

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Great cars!! 👌🏻 Ahhh Thank you Karl, I really appreciate that mate 💙 Glad you're still enjoying them! 😊

[@number1forthewin]

i have dc5 rn. was thinking to sell it. but now dc5 is coming back again!

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Glad to hear the video has made you change your mind mate!! 😁

[@carlife6214]

Another great video, what a car! Love the look of these! It sounds awesome as well. 👌🏻

[@constantinrenoir8273]

Great job bro, and great driving skills! Do you have tried to mount a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork man? :D

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Thank you mate! 💙 I was considering trying this, but not sure if everyone would be into it haha. Maybe I'll give it a go one of the days 👍🏻

[@constantinrenoir8273]

@@GEARED_MrLucas I think that it will be very interesting! ;) Thank you very much man! :D

[@harry6048]

I would love a DC5 it seems like the only way to go after having an EP3.

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Definitely a step above an EP3. They're rocketing up in price though 😳

[@michaelpdrock1]

It'd be interesting to know how it compares to a JDM EP3... considering they're pretty identical, bar the steering rack

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Yes, definitely on the list to do I think... Will be great to compare them!

Class i love a DC5 but I'm too far into my Ep3 and i agree the spoon 5.3 is 👌🏻 what sort of time's were you getting Luke

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Haha, it's one of them situations isn't it... I bet if you got in a DC5 now it would feel so different because of the amount of changes you've done to your EP3. May even swap out my 5.1 on the Klio for a 5.3 after driving this! No idea on the times mate, I end up getting too hung up on them and I never want to push someone else's pride and joy to the limit... Just in case 😆

[@CPMotors814]

@@GEARED_MrLucas yeah the 5.3 is mega , especially NA , want to try my gearbox before forking out for it , see if you like it ? 😅 car won't be getting used after next weekend until jext year

[@H1GHD3FF]

that turn in tho

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Mega turn in 👌🏻 Such a well setup car!

[@dF-ww8md]

Amazing. Makes me want a dc5 now from and s2k owner here. Has the speedo been calibrated for the new final drive?

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Good car you've got there! Have you watched the S2000 episode I did recently? The speedo doesn't need calibrating when you change the final drive bud

[@dF-ww8md]

@@GEARED_MrLucas I did. It was great and accurate. Off to do a trackday today actually. Something about the dc5 though. Like a road going touring car

[@cameronharrison9835]

What front lip is that on it?

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

I'm not 100% sure mate. Drop Mark a message on instagram and he'll be able to tell you I'm sure 😎 @that_white_dc5

[@cameronharrison9835]

@@GEARED_MrLucas No worries man will do, thanks a mil 👍

[@joe_rd1]

Had a go in a dc5 recently and its light years ahead of the ep3. Can also vouch for them megane brakes, they were incredible on my ep3

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

Glad you agree mate! Was very surprised how well the Megane setup performed, surprised more people haven't done it!

[@Kris2fst4u]

@@bhpmad9355 JDM EP3 is on the same power train as the DC5R. They’re literally the same car for the most part. Both suffer from a weird suspension geometry which is hard to tune. Watch some best motoring videos… the DC5 is slightly better.

[@lifenz1]

4.7FD is enough, no need for 5.3

[@jesselee4405]

To each his own

[@GEARED_MrLucas]

As Jesse said, each to their own. Depends what you're using the car for etc. The 5.3 worked really well for the mods and this track

[@stevesracingbits]

I have a 5.4 and prefer it, depends on the track and driving style
