Missus bought an entry level Nikon DSLR for fun and and I attended my first autocross day. I was one of the only ones to come under my own steam with road tires (3 years old). Came second out of 15 :D, pipped by a turbo mr2.

Kinja'd!!!

First time with my new suspension set-up (fixed all the twitchy nonsense of the stock DC5 people rant about). The tires were really the only things letting me down (oh and no LSD...).

Enjoy my noob photos and noob driving :)

The car is almost at it's 10th birthday and 5 years under my ownership :D

Have we met my name is Jelly Bro

I was actually just searching for RSXs on CL, because my Civic is almost paid off and an EP3 or RSX are at the top of the FWD aka realistic list for an upgrade.

Awesome man. I love DC5's. If I could find one near me in the same condition as my WRX id buy/trade for it. They're like my guilty FWD pleasure.

I have a dumb question. Let me start by saying I dont know much about fwd cars, especially Hondas. Do most performance oriented fwd cars not have an LSD? I just always assumed a car like an RSX or a Civic SI had an LSD.

only the type R versions of the dc2,5 and ep3 came with an Lsd. It's an easy swap however and after market ones are available. (a popular mod is Lsd, lightened flywheel, clutch and tsx 6th gear for lower rpm on the highway). Most top spec sports fwd have them, but not all. It only really matters in autocross really (or if u want to drag a fwd...).
