I've got the same car and found this video searching for DC5 suspension on youtube - my car is extremely bouncy and it is reassursing to see yours is too - the videos of you driving it are what mine feels like, its hard to drive at part-throttle on those sort of roads because its so bouncy!
I thought for a minute Keving's car had a correct colour front bumper and OG wheels on it! Saw you all at Brands at the weekend, said hello from a distance like a truly weird fanboi. Great to see you boys doing what you do though, especially the Civic showing V8 supercars how it's done, impressive stuff
Drink every time you hear "alignment" comment here if anyone survives! love ya Danny much inspiration from your racing career and experiences have been following for some years now much appreciate your content and style of raw footage almost like I'm there with ya even when I'm unable to tinker on my own shit!
I recall the dc5 needing new tie rods and roll center correction ball joints when lowered. Having a new steering rack slider helped with vague turn in a bit, but these cars are weird to dial in well
Digging from my experiences with my dc5 (rsx-s) -tie rods are necessary if you run a good amount of camber (-3.0) to correct toe -i didnt find roll center correction to really change much for steering feel. -the steering rack slider bushing helps a tonnnnn. I chose SHG with the Honed developments slider mount. Car wanders alot less and definitely less slop in the wheel
Hey Danny.👋 From all over the shop to muy bueno. Good job, man. Too bad about the steering wheel helper holder thingamajiggy. I had high hopes for it initially. But at the end of the day, your efforts gave you a much better car to drive. Matt's DC5 Type R looks and sounds so nice.👌 Glad we finally got to check it out a little closer. Cheers.
Wouldn't it be simpler to centre the steering rack (having the same amount of tie rod on both sides) before doing the toe on the front, and then when you've aligned it to preferred specs just move the boss on the steering spline back to center?
The track rods are infinitely variable whereas the splines are discrete. You would be very unlikely to find a position on the splines that lined up perfectly.
Dan's alignment & suspension se up ...a little off to the left :P ...haha ...slipping the wheel boss on the splines would quickie fix for sure. but the end to end angles will be off, so no rallying for that DC5 ! ...Enjoyed the video tho!
@@ExciteLetsPlay an FN2 would make a decent daily… has all the creature comforts you need, but still has a high revving N/A K20 up front. Handling is nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be, a fast road set-up and an LSD makes a decent improvement
@@sidathwijeratne7168 I've never driven a DC5 but my FN2 has rock hard suspension and seats, the seating position is good but it rides like a classic mini. I've got a late model with the lsd, I've never had it on track but on road it just grips, the brakes are lacking though the DC5 definitely has it beat it there.
You're really the alignment pro now, really enjoy that kind of content.
Nice car, also!
looks incredibly 90s body style wise

Had a fast road alignment done in my 04 EP3 - differences weren’t enormous, but definitely noticeable. Worth doing…

INGS Rear Bumper, Kevin would be pleased

I use the B-G steering wheel alignment lock, haven't had any issues with it yet
I miss my dc5 RSX S so I had to get rid of her and got a 04 TSX I'll get another dc5 one of these days it was a blast to drive
Good job on the alignment, shame about the steering wheel moving but can't win um all. Headlights could do with a polish.
IDLES on the outro - Danny has the OG music taste.
Love a nice Dc5
Good information here, thank you very much sir
So damn hard to set up the high on DC5.
Any tips for ek4 or ek9 alignment
Always wanted a video like this talking about fast road setups.👍
I may be in the minority hear but I'd love even more in depth videos on this topic.

@@Heyyo_Fridaythanks for weighing in! Just put my dc5 on coilovers and will consider the steering rack bush.
Is it 1mm out in front total? So 0.5mm per side. Or 1mm per side?
bro looks like british valteri bottas. Even the mullet is accurate

Half expect Motorhead to come on when he enters the workshop like he's Plusnet Triple H

I’d like one of these as a daily, rust scares me though
lovely colour that
Any reason why my ep3 sits higher on the left than it does that right ? I’ve had new shocks and springs to but still the same. 🚘🚘
Just my 2 cents... Any car I've ever owned has always sat slightly higher on one side.
@@desb9639 I did think that to as the engines slightly to the right and my whole 15stone is on the right to 🤣
The car looks better even in the fading light.
why do you do the toe in on the rear?
Stability
The wheel tool needs a bigger stronger spring ... 👍
oh and some better grips
nice thingy teggy
Very nice
Is something like that okay ish as a daily?
It makes a good daily. Big boot and decent on fuel if your not caining it
They’re a bit hardcore for a daily, but they’re not bare-bones either. As mentioned, rust would be the biggest thing to worry about.
@@sidathwijeratne7168 yeah I imagine it's quite hard core if you drive alot
