Swapping rear bonnet + wiper with stock bonnet

[lightningfield]

Hey guys,

A friend of mine is getting his 2005 DC5 in a week or so. his car is spec-c complete with rear wiper, foldable side mirrors etc. since he couldn't get the spec-a (no rear wiper etc) as he requested, he wishes to swap his rear bonnet with anyone that has stock bonnet. no need to pay anything for the bonnet except for the swap costs. anyone interested please PM me so I can hook you up with my friend. u can arrange a deal with him straightaway. by the way his car is nighthawk black pearl B92P.

Cheers!

Hi Lightningfield,

A spec and C spec, whichone is the top range? Since now i having 1, is having no rear wiper, no spare tire. Just wanna confirm with u?

 

[lightningfield]

boonhoe,

spec c is the full spec..whereas spec a is the base spec. all of the additional equipments are optional when u buying the car brand new .. but for us recond car owners, we might not get what we wish for..haha. im not so sure abt the spare tyres tho.. it should come with the car! unless...........you're provided with anti-flat tire kit. .

yes......but as u know type-r should be bare without the necessities to make it, well, lighter. EK9, DC2, FD2R comes without wiper. some people take it to the DIY level by removing the rear wiper on their EK hatch if they couldn't source the original EK9 rear trunk. remove the motor, and cement the hole for the wiper. only DC5 was offered with rear wiper and its attached to the glass. .

tn. presiden, your fren's case is similar to mine but many many years ago... this chap wanted to get himself an evo4, so he opted for the basic model, with manual window, no rear wiper & less comfy backseats. Konon nyer it would make the car go faster. Paid good 170k++ for it but at the end, coz with the manual window, leceh lak nak bayar tol & masuk parking. And without the rear wiper, sometimes masa hujan lebat, tak nampak belakang. I drove a Putra before, and mmg betul it was quite dangerous sometimes during heavy rain. Kekadang, steam would cloud the screen. Yang buat panas that time, even kancil pon ada rear wiper...
Well, back to my fren's car, it was definitely faster than a full-specd evo4 but kalau dash 0-400 pon, maybe 0.05s faster ajer..... Tak berbaloi with all the inconvenience... Cheers...

This is a reverse case of the people who buys JDM bodypart to upgrade their cars! e.g. Wira looking for lancer rear mirror with Wiper. My car is the basic model, without Flodable side mirrors and Rear wiper and this part im not sure..... are Integra DC5 comes with a push start button? I have mine, but its an aftermarket model. Was in the car when i bought it.

But my car is white laa Lightningfield.... .. If black can swap.....

Hi Lightningfield,

Thank you very much for your advice. My recon DC5 came with anti puncture kits too. But it seem not good to tires, therefore i also requested the recon seller to get me spare tire as well. so now i having both options. And i opted my car with new push start button original from hong kong, Super GT Ltd.. Sent to my fren shop, install it neatly. Therefore i think whether it is Spec C or Spec A, i also not sure about it. As long as i'm great riding on it....

Guys & lightningfield, sorry this kind of off topic, but I bumped to a statement in another forum in ZTH mentioning that Carbon Fiber bodyparts are illegal & during a JPJ roadblock, they will charge the vehicle which has Carbon Fiber bodyparts as it is an offence. How true is that?
