DC2s were available in the UK, but some are imports, DC5s were all imported.

Just get an Integra DC2 Cant go wrong and will only cost you £6k
But are they not even worse on insurance then a CTR though. and most of them are imports are they not?
For £6k thought you'll be able to use the extra cash to pay for the insurance no problems and still have loads of change. Honda reliability as well is always good. There are just as many UK spec ones (two circle headlights) as there are JDM ones (flat straight headlights). JDM one looks much better IMO

I just feel like im throwing money away with insurance though as you dont really gain anything. might as well just go out and blow it on some throttle bodies for the gsi 
At least i have something to show for it then rather then a peice of paper

Save some away from a very rainy day. Just because you have the money doesn't neccesary mean you have to spend it all

yer thats the reasoning not for having already blowing it on the car 
House fund would be sensible but i dont want to be skint from now onwards 
I think i just need to test drive some cars and go from there

He's fit and I fancy him. Nothing more. But I wouldn't say no.

my mate has one, i couldn't afford to insure the st as it was 5k so got the zetec s. me and him have ''raced'' off form ford traffic lights in first gear to see how much more poke his has and tbh it was a lot 
they are very nice and refined cars, very comfortale drive. much easier on your back but can be easily tuned with exhaust, filter, re-map or whatever takes your fancy.

All show and no go! just like the st170!
Both have nice sounding power figures... but not the performance to match.

it's not all about performance though? not everyone wants st styling and st power to go with it.. it's a lovely drive and has enough power until you get bored of it, just like any other car.
