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
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 💙
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 👌🏻
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 😆
@@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
@@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.
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.....😂😂
Ahhh you're a gooden, Thank you again mate! 💙 Enjoy the sweaty buckets 😘
What a fantastically set up car 👏 just shows you don't need big power to make a track weapon!!
Spot on! 👌🏻

Great cars!! 👌🏻 Ahhh Thank you Karl, I really appreciate that mate 💙 Glad you're still enjoying them! 😊
That’s prove that you don’t need power to have fun . Another great video 🤩
That car is setup well 👍🏎💨🏁
So very true mate! Really glad you enjoyed this one too 💙
i have dc5 rn. was thinking to sell it. but now dc5 is coming back again!
Glad to hear the video has made you change your mind mate!! 😁
What a hairy rev happy beast !
Oh yes! She loves having her head kicked in 😄

Another great video, what a car! Love the look of these! It sounds awesome as well. 👌🏻
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it 💙 Such a good all round car!
I see Grinspeed, I like 👌🏻
They definitely know what they're doing! 👌🏻
I would love a DC5 it seems like the only way to go after having an EP3.
Definitely a step above an EP3. They're rocketing up in price though 😳
Great job bro, and great driving skills! Do you have tried to mount a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork man? :D
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 👍🏻
@@GEARED_MrLucas I think that it will be very interesting! ;) Thank you very much man! :D
Awesome 😎
that turn in tho
Mega turn in 👌🏻 Such a well setup car!
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

Amazing. Makes me want a dc5 now from and s2k owner here. Has the speedo been calibrated for the new final drive?
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
@@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
It'd be interesting to know how it compares to a JDM EP3... considering they're pretty identical, bar the steering rack
Yes, definitely on the list to do I think... Will be great to compare them!

What front lip is that on it?
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
@@GEARED_MrLucas No worries man will do, thanks a mil 👍
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
Glad you agree mate! Was very surprised how well the Megane setup performed, surprised more people haven't done it!
@@GEARED_MrLucas too busy being kits from Taiwan with two pieces discs that wont last and are expensive to change
🤣🤣🤦♂️ jdm ep3 is even better than the dc5
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️Light years 🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️
You clearly have no idea
Love both😍😍

4.7FD is enough, no need for 5.3
To each his own
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
I have a 5.4 and prefer it, depends on the track and driving style
