For the expensive matte black, if see it closely the paint is shining but see from distance it's matte black. The price I heard about rm7k.

What color? If I want to paint mine, I prefer Matte Black but many of my friends said a Type-R should be white.
Im painting it Black bro. White not my lucky color laa. Matte black if same as Brabus spec is close to RM6-7K. BUt looks smooth. The harsher ones (not bad) is around RM4-5 K. Hey, same case as me, all of my friends says that the car should be left in original color! hehehhehe. BUt putih banyak sangat laaaa on the road.....

well...finally took the plunge and put the deposit down on a 2005 Championship White Pre-Facelift unregistered DC5... :biggrin:

must say i don't regret the decision at all...test drove the car 3 times (even the dealer was puzzled why anyone needed to test so many times)... and loved it to bits.

snap decision...and looking forward to many great moments in the future with it....

now im just waiting for my current car's buyers loan to be approved so I can go apply for mine.

by the way, just to check...whats the market rate for unregistered 2005's nowadays. from what i've seen...its RM148k...

assalamualaikum,hello

looking for a dc5r unregistered...can get in the range of 140k or below?
hey man...it'll be really tough to find one for below RM140k....market rate right now is at RM148k...and even with hard negotiation you'll probably get it at about RM145k....

do correct me if im wrong guys...

also, quick question....Japanese cars dont have alarms on them? :hmmmm:

hi bro,

All Pre Facelift DC5 was before year 2004-Sept. Please check the seat belt label (if they never cut it) for year of made.

After 2004-Sept all DC5 was New Facelift fyi.

i do not know about other japanese import cars but my DC5 car key was original came with central lock but no alarm

i have learned the lesson the hard way when some wankers broke into my locked car parked in my own porch and stole my seats. there was no alarm installed so i didnt hear a thing.

better invest in some good alarm system.

yeah thats what i was thinking. the first thing i need to do is get a car alarm installed.

mine has central locking as well, but no alarm system....apparently Japan uses a GPS system to track stolen cars....so ditto on the alarm...

so all pre-facelifts were manufactured before Sept 2004 huh. well then whats the market rate for those....and whats the cheapest anyone has got them? coz from what ive noticed...almost all of them are RM148k on motortrader or mudah.my

Install Captor. Very comprehensive security system.... totally worth it.

whats the damage(on the wallet) like for the Captor? And where would be a good place to install it?
It gonna cost you around 2.5k on the installation of the GPS equipment, with a monthly fee of rm 20. Good place, i can't comment on that, but my friend's workshop in Sunway is very experienced in installing it, and also an authorized dealer for Captor.

The new version is good as it has loads of functions, such as notification of illegal entry, GPS second by second report, on road unit ( if your car is stolen and its on road, they will locate your car). Loads of functions. Even to the extend of ur door is not locked they can call your mobile to inform.

Some cars require this just for them to get their car insured without high loading rates.

ur rite. 1 of my fren recently bought a rx8 stated yr 05 but ive found out its actually 03 year.
seat belts, seats n other obvious parts in the car can be found of the year made or check ur chassis no. online for the year made. its true actually, unless the seller changed it .. EVEN THE YEAR MANUFACTURED IN THE REG CARD WAS 05.
these dealers can actually make wonders.

n yeah, earlier this year saw few units pre-facelift year 05 onwards sellin. price slightly cheaper than the facelifted ones with the same year. weird ..

WOW. 2.5k is wayyy out of my budget. having bought the car for the first month...its not viable for me to install a 2.5k alarm system....

oh well...guess i'll need to find an alarm system for my 1k budget...any recommendations?

nuke,
i didnt xplore much on the other stuff other than the seat belts. coz it match my year so cudnt care less bout others haha.
u can try to check out the label/tag on the seats.

1 more thing, reconfirm with ur dealer if the reg card gonna be 05 year.
im thinkin the year of ur car might register late over in japan juz like my frens case.
check ur chassis no. for the real manufacture year.
DC5230XXXX Sept 2004 onwards while DC5220XXXX is before the date.

i cant be wrong, i guess ..

Thanks for the info! Yes the registration card will say 2005/2010, so just need to check whether the chassis number is correct.

A normal 2 way alarm is good enough already. Should cost u around RM 500 - 600 for good ones, with shock sensor.

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG will soon be going under the knife of another tuner if the proposal by Swiss tuner Fab Design is approved.

Considering it’s still in the proposal stage, not much details have been released but the important bits include an extra 40hp extracted from the supercar’s V8 engine, bringing the total to 611hp. The extra ponies...
