DC2 / B18C2 wats ur thought bout the car and the engine

[Nonobui]

Wondering wat u guys comment on this car. I got the car about a month ago. Goin pretty good and have a go on Pr*nce few times. Nice and fun when the V-tec kick in. :thumbsup:

just wondering people's though of having dc2 or comments all bout the car. And upload pics of ur car if u dun mind! ;)

[bennjamin]

its a nice normal car. With light mods ( under $1000 worth of mods to both the suspension and engine bay) you can have a fun car.

Mods to do....
upgrade rear swaybar with a relevant swaybar mounting kit such as ASR , BEAKS or COMPTECH and a ITR rear swaybar
Get a nice intake for a nicer intake noise
Perhaps look at some lowering springs...nothing massive just a tiny bit lower such as kings or eibachs etc.

And the car will handle very well and be quite quick point to point.

Cold air intake, coilovers and rims. Try to get them all second hand if you can.
Pic of my car. I have to add that it's been very reliable in the past year of ownership. :thumbsup:

Yep, that's me.

[Nonobui]

lol! nice to meet ya! but the facelift doesnt fit mine! where u get ur tow hook from?

[Toilet]

Sorry about that, I forgot to ask if your car was facelift or pre.
I got my tow hook 2nd hand from a user on here ages ago. I think you can get them brand new from Jdmyard who is a trader on here.

[Lukey]

you need facelift headlights for facelift front bar

[Nonobui]

my fren mod it and tried to fix it up but doesnt work and will cost much to like mod it so i looked for another one. hard to find, but i got a mugen style bumber. its hard to drive into some place with high bump!

thkin should i lower it. lol!:confused:

[Giraffe]

tow hooks are relatively cheap, thats if you look in the right places. they might be some on the parts for sale section .

[Nonobui]

Lookin for a while. Found one is front tow bar. I want to get a back tow bar. so... yea!

If just install a Beaks lower tie bar, wats the benefit for the handling? more stable while cornering?

[Toilet]

More bling.

[Nonobui]

LOL! saving hard for all the parts! damn it!

wat engine does GSI DC2 got?

[dbernal]

GSI has the b18B, non vtec..

[bennjamin]

wat engine does GSI DC2 got?


As above.....its a b18b engine , 1.8l DOHC non vtec.

Anyway to correct you - the DC4 is the GSi. The DC2 refers to VTiRs and ITR's.

[Nonobui]

@@ thanks!

[Nonobui]

comment on lowering the car? just change the springs or.....

[dtrang]

changing springs is relatively cheap suspension mod with either king springs or eibach as mentioned in previous posts. i have run king springs superlows and they look great and handle pretty decent. next step up you could do suspension wise is shocks or if money is not a problem go coilovers. if you are tight on a budget then go springs and/or shock combo. or i would probably go for ITR shocks and springs however you will need to change lower control arms (LCA) to ITR/eg6. i have seen itr shocks and springs from 150-250 and LCA from memory are about 180? for oem and higher for aftermarket brands.

depends on what you want is just lowered for looks or sussy performance as well. ITR spring and shock combo will not give you much drop unless you change the springs as well.

[Nonobui]

will it be any different when driving between change to a coilovers and springs + shock combo?

[dtrang]

coilovers are a shock and spring combo which are made to compliment each other and usually are damper and height adjustable providing more adjustability. coilovers are height adjustable by moving the washers along the threaded body of the shock.


springs and shock combo i mean is different brand of shock absorbers and springs.. say koni shocks and king springs. shock packages differ from different brands as some may have one damper setting or multiple and also they can be height adjustable. height i have heard some that the spring perch is adjusted higher/lower and changes the distance for the shock to compress and rebound.[correct me if im wrong or add more info] (shocks + spring set up usually less adjustable than coilovers).

difference in driving is all in the way you have your set up of damper and spring rate. coilovers you can adjust to whatever suits your needs. dial in soft for daily or dial in stiffer for spirited driving. usually one/little adjustablity set up for shock and spring.

[Nonobui]

im still new in car man. and this my 1st car. saving hard to mod the car. share more if u dun mind. :)

Thanks for sharing though.

[DC4Integra98]

you were the guy asking me questions about facelift/prefacelift and you still bought the wrong front bar?

*facepalm*

[Nonobui]

LOL! na... thats b4 asking u man. thanks for ur explanation b4. clearly understood now. got my mugen style lip.

[dtrang]

Search function, other forums such as Honda-tech, google. Reasearch and read til you understand if then you don't then post a question.

[Nonobui]

thanks!

[morgs202]

I think they're a great car! Fast enough to be fun without getting you in trouble! Mine started life as a gsi, but now has vti-r engine, with apexi intake. No exhaust yet, but I managed to score a deal on a set of ohlins coil overs and they have made a huge difference in handling (and ride hight!!!!:))

[Nonobui]

saving hard for them~ got any job offering? LOL!
