time for upgrade! DC2R vs DC5R vs EP3R

[nam.qhc]

hi guys, im currently driving an ej8. but its time to upgrade to DOHC VTEC =D out of the 3; dc2r, dc5r or ep3r. what would you choose and why? thankyou in advance.

[kcokla]

go for an ep3,
i think most people will tell you to go for that,
its the rarest between the three, newer/generally speaking, and better in engine specs and so on on the other 2!

you have asked the most stupid noobest question out. but i guess thats why your in this section of ozhonda.


1.do you like coupes or hatchbacks
2.do you prefer MURPPPPPPPPP(k series) or mmmmBAHHHHHHHH!!!!(b series)
3.do you like the older original race look of a dc2r or the luxury sports of a dc5r/ep3
4.do you live in a very busy area?*parking easier for ep3*
5.what are you looking at spending? are u looking to mod the shit out of the car or just keep it standard with a bit of extras?(ep3,dc5r with the k20 are alot more easily to gain power over a b18c)
6.all 3 have different interior. you should go for a test drive in each(depending who the hell would even let you drive their type r) and see which one suits you best.

you dont know what you want till you drive it. so just go drive one and make up your own mind and not let us make it up for you.

[nam.qhc]

Get a DC2R. The chassis and B-series has a real soul and cult-like appreciation that I don't think is as prominent in other Hondas.

:thumbsup: for dc2r.

B-Series, the heart and soul of honda :D

[nam.qhc]

i am leaning towards the dc2r, cause i think it looks the best of the 3! i love b series engines! k series are awesome engines too. but ep3 and the dc5 look are a downfall compare to the eg ek dc2. thankyou guys

[meatball]

dc2r + b series with ep3 front end and dc5r rear end. done deal hahahahaha

[RtN]

dc2r + K series LOL

[jrstyles]

dc2r= too many rattles and noises and its hard to find a good example of one anymore
dc5r+ep3r = most of the parts are interchangeable and being a later model car it doesnt creak and whatnot that the dc2r does.
IMO, if your after something which brings out the race driver in you all 3 of these cars can do it, but the dc2r i think truly is a racecar. The dc5r and ep3 were more "luxury" for me. I was in the exact same position your in and i was leaning towards the dc5r because the ep3 didnt look aggressive enough for me and the dc2r was just too old. So instead i bought an s2000 haha. Non-biased opinion so dont flame me =(

[damienm]

just get the newer car...

[dougie_504]

Again, go DC2R. Enjoy the rattles mate, it adds character to the car lol

[RtN]

I got lotsa characters with my mounts then haha

[nwa111]

dc2r parts are easier come by and cheaper then alot of the k series prices

[Samm928]

dc2r + K series LOL



hahaha sick **** :thumbsup:

[nam.qhc]

haha dc2r+kseries will b tank. well my budget it 20grand. i was gonna have a look at sangz' ek18c. but decided to keep looking for a dc2r preferably jdm front =]

[bbds]

i had all three of those cars, i regret selling the dc2r the most! Was the best out of the 3

[white_ep3_civic]

Test drive them and buy the one you like the most

Exactly. People always remember their DC2R or their EF8. The true souls of Honda.

I wouldnt buy that dc2r because straight away

1. it doesnt come with the oringal recaroes
2. pictures are misleading. You have to see the car in RL to see its qualities and values, if any =]

P.s. car looks good though.

[nam.qhc]

im currently talkin to SIREAL, his selling his black dc2r!

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?139569-The-*ORIGINAL*-1999-DC2-Type-R-Black-low-k-s-for-age.

[ninzee]

get the dc5r
imo they look hot and the more you look at them the more they grow on you but also as samm said go for a test drive in each and youll get ur answer

[dougie_504]

I think modern Hondas are too 'high' in their stance, DC5, FN2 and EP3 included. The DC2R sits low and menacing, like a sports car should.

[RtN]

that's what I think.. why did they make the dc5 so chunky/rounded and tall or at least it looks like it.

also..

DC2R + JDM FRONT = sex with the ladies

[ewendc2r]

Any day of the week -- DC2 R. I MUCH prefer the feel, response and feedback.

[nam.qhc]

thanks for all your opinions. i didnt buy siREAL black dc2r. so still looking around =] but yeah it was my first time driving a dc2r.. and i gotta say i was very impress with it. just there was other things that made me didnt buy it! but it was still sold to another buyer. so congrats to siREAL

[SMI-33K]

dc2r is a great car but getting old go for the dc5r or ep3 the k20 is a better engine

[SuperJDM.]

you have asked the most stupid noobest question out. but i guess thats why your in this section of ozhonda.


1.do you like coupes or hatchbacks
2.do you prefer MURPPPPPPPPP(k series) or mmmmBAHHHHHHHH!!!!(b series)
3.do you like the older original race look of a dc2r or the luxury sports of a dc5r/ep3
4.do you live in a very busy area?*parking easier for ep3*
5.what are you looking at spending? are u looking to mod the shit out of the car or just keep it standard with a bit of extras?(ep3,dc5r with the k20 are alot more easily to gain power over a b18c)
6.all 3 have different interior. you should go for a test drive in each(depending who the hell would even let you drive their type r) and see which one suits you best.

If you don't believe him, ask for the vin and ring Honda Australia & they will confirm it...

[Zilli]
