[Tai]

Get a EK9 with a JDM DC5R K20A engine put in.

[michaelz]

DC2 *pelvic thrust*

[act_gooner]

DC2 hands down. Or save some more and get an NSX lol

[chauster]

Get an s2k or get fd2r. nuff said

[ind1]

^Love S2K's but I am quite tall. Will have to drive one and see though.. However the other concern is the limited amount of space.

[dc2r-0636]

Jdm dc2r is over rated :) looks like an accord but hey thats me

[MikeyG]

NSX Type R

[outatime]

FN2 because it's newer, more modern, more luxurious, quieter, and chics dig it :p

(*puts flame suit on*)

[RSKEbaby]

buy my dc2r with jdm front. ;)

[DC2-PWR]

Very intresting thread,

DC2R :D

[jks24]

^Love S2K's but I am quite tall. Will have to drive one and see though.. However the other concern is the limited amount of space.

two seats one for yourself and one for your girl. That is all you need...

[Tai]

two seats one for yourself and one for your girl. That is all you need...

But you can have 3-4 girls in your car if you have more seats.

[Bludger]

But you can have 3-4 girls in your car if you have more seats.But in the case of all the OzHomo members, the car is filled with guys.

Jerking off to each other and blowing their load at the sight of each others cars.

[defect]

^^ Thats just wrong!

[Bludger]

^^ Thats just wrong!don't care.

Its truth.

[dougie_504]

Glad to see DC2R is still the favourite. Truly awesome car.

[dc2r-0636]

LOL haha

[JohnO]

ep3 for an all rounder type r and very spacious.

[90LAN]

nsx GT500

[MikeyG]

nsx type s with t67 turbo

[mugen_ctr]

truth be said, no one would spend that much on a HONDA LOL.....30k on a type-r? far out a evo8 or sti would whip it any day!

But on topic, DC5R or EP3 OR S2k..... all good, no matter where u look

[ind1]

lol :P

For 30k yeah, be looking at WRX STi's and EVO's. But for around 20-25k I'd be looking at Honda. You can get an early 2000 bug eyed STi but they're ugly as hell. Plus, they're way too popular for my liking.. WAY too popular.

Other car I'm checking out is an S15.. Shape is amazing, really suits me lol.

[dc2r-0636]

personally id take a s15 over any ep3 dc5r s2k ect. and u can pik em up for under 20k

[mugen_ctr]

20-30k can pretty much net you all the performance cars you want, drift, tarmac rally, time attack as such. Ask your self, what do u want out of the car mostly? as a daily car, id stick to honda

For me, if i had the dough, id go for a Nissan Skyline R33 GTR V-spec...... But due to the age, id definate go WRX or EVO

S15 are nice, but too many around nowadays, if u really wanna stand out with a S15, spend lots on the wheels lol, seen few ppl cheap out on rims, it really hurts the car visual appearance... i guess in general, most ppl who buy S15 dont know much about moddin em

its worse when you see little 17 year olds with red p's in a s15 not the autech ones acting king shit...

[ind1]

Yeah you can pick up an S15 for under 20k. If I was getting one I'd get a stock one, however since they respond really well to mods I'd say 5-10k would go into it real easy to improve performance further.

Good point above though - This is just mostly for daily driving. No drifting, tracks, racing, whatever. Maybe tracks in the future but I'd prefer to have more money for a track car, rather then thrash my daily around it every so often.

I'd like 2000+ years. I wish FN2's performed as well as its father.. Love the shape. I'd be sold if it was.

[jks24]

I wouldnt, my mates been in the market for one for over 6months now, he cant find a decent one. They have all been thrashed and modified by too many people. Build quality is no where near that of a Honda either and they are common if you are comparing them to ep3s,s2000s. If i keep working on him he will give up one day and buy a Honda :p He never thought much of Honda until he got in my EM1 lol

99% of cars have been thrashed. and buying a ep3r or s2k and believing it hasnt been thrashed youre kidding urself. why else buy a s2k ep3r or s15 lol.
my cousin got his s15 with a upgraded FMIC apexi fower fc and fuel pump. made 201kw@the wheels when he bought it for $18k.
now he has new injectors new turbo (not sure which one) a new 500hp fuel pump, tomei cams and otha lil bits. cams still set to zero. still stock bottom end and made 270kw@ the wheels

[SuperJDM.]

lol :P

tbh why you still thinking about getting a civic for 25gs? wouldn't you move on? And no doubt by the time you get the money youll be changing your mind

[mugen_ctr]

this guys either on his p's an gots lot of money to play with, or has no idea how to spend this amount of money LOL

Best advice, go out there an try them, no point in talking about the cars if u cant physically compare each of em.....

On paper any car can look weak or strong, its the real world that will determined if its good or bad

I second the motion.. go test drive a dc2r and see the hype about it. i hope you like vibrations, rattles, and noises. then test the ep3 and fn2.. you know sydney road is not a race track. so speed and power are not everything.. it's all about balance..

Of course. Thats obvious. I'm not looking to buy right now anyhow. This is apart of research, thats the purpose of a forum after all - asking questions/giving advice. :)

In saying this, I'd prefer a car which got lots of praise over a car which had very few positives.

[mugen_ctr]

Ok well since your still doing ur homework, id say, set out a criteria an go through each car ticking whats good an bad, i know everyone has different ways to buying a car, this is my way really :)

Dont listen to ppl who tell B.S stories about this car or so, odds are they never even owned one, lol,

case one: RX7... rotary are hard to maintain? false, just like any car, they require much TLC, sure they eat a bit of oil, but like any car, u would check the oil an service it

And worse, ppl who say imports or turbos are hard to maintain, thats the biggest load if crap iev heard, cars are cars at the end of the day, a good service an TLC will keep the car alive all day long

If you know what ur looking at, your one step closer to buying that car

[JohnO]

A boosted car will require more maintenance than any n/a car. I check my car weekly but its all the same, never needing to top up on oil or any other fluid for that matter till the next 5000km service. have you owned a rx7 to say that its piss easy to maintain? to just put in more oil?

[act_gooner]

Get an S2000.

[MRK20CRX]

dude just get a turbo b16 eg for 10k lol

[Bludger]

Pretty sure his on his Ls cause he said something about his mum telling him not to drive like that or someshit (not sure though).

And if he had lots of money from the start why would he be driving a EK1 lol.

Not trying to start anything i just find this thread pointless. it just sounds like a kid from primary school talking about what type of car he wants to get when his older.
But never turns out that way.

Yeah I love RX7's ever since I saw this one down the road. They're sexy, thanks for the advice.

I'm on my P's.. I'm not sure how you made that assumption. Very idiotically obviously.

Yes, from a learner driver to a primary school kid. Very consistent. But no, I've come across a promising job which means future upgrades. In my case, a car. Driving an EK1, what? Its reliable, its fuel efficient. I like how it drives, how it feels. I'm living interstate renting an apartment with constant bills. I don't want a petrol guzzler. I've never been a car guy until the more recent years in which I've taken a lot of interest in them. I think we can safely say that I'm in the right section.

Please stop the spam/trolling in my thread. We're in a "noob" section. Can't handle some questions - leave. Simple. But if you do decide to come back, just how much was your EM1?

LOL! please dont talk to me about "idiotically" i wasn't the one who made a thread and mentioned something about "street racing" then went back to edit it because you looked like a fool.
Obviously i can handle a couple of useless questions thats why i was the 4RD one to reply (if you look on the first page).

Anyways dont want to spam no more just PM if you want to reply and good luck with your "future car".

Uh, I edited it because people seemed to not answer the question. They saw "race" and replied to that rather then answering the actual questions in the thread, the original reason why I made it in the first place. Theres a lot to be ashamed on the internet, isn't there.. *rolls eyes*. I'm not even sure why you put "future car" in quotes. Are you insinuating that it isn't a possibility for me? Lol, try 3 jobs. :)

Thanks for getting out of my thread though.

[Cartoon]

while the nsx is a great car, looks good, drives nice, well balanced. I just cant bring my self to buy one as much as i want one. If u want a nsx expect to leave it stock, there exy as to mod and maintain. If u brake something u most likely get it from the states which is ok now but when the $ is back to .6 u wont be to happy!

I love the dc2r my self but the k series motors are magic!

Drive as many cars as u can and get a feel for what u like. think about what u will use the car for also as this will determin things like air con, curze controll and such. dont rush into buying a car.

[DLO01]

Looking to get a Type-R.

Whats your favourite?

I'm looking at a price range between 20-30k.

Weather the guy gets this car or not, who cares. Just answer they guys question as he stated above. Simple.

[mocchi]

jdm dc2r. i would really love to own one.
i love the looks. very sexy.

That would be 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th, genius. Now stop being a jackarse.

Get the DC2, bro.

[gumus89]

Oh no you di'nt!

[SuperJDM.]

"4RD"?!

That would be 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th, genius. Now stop being a jackarse.

lol unbelievable. He said What "Type R's", DC2 = VTIR genius.

Also already sorted it out with ind1 he just took my replys the wrong way.

last post for real no more spamming for me :)

DC2+, pedant.

[SajadEG]

How long you got on ur p's

Wait it out and get an EVO or WRX

[mugen_ctr]

if any one can find a nsx for under 30k, that would b a first lol

even a 91 model is still asking for 45k

Another question, how much do u actually planing on spending, really, because odds are insurance, full comp, will be 1/3 the price of the vehicle if ur under 21, and being a sports car, let alone a import....

[RtN]

K-Swap DC2R + A/C + PS = Well Balanced.

Buy a high KMs one for cheap then add spoon calipers, change all the bushings, new coils, do service, get everything lubed up. Runs better than a new car and most cars the sell for up to 60k new (EVO/WRX is a diff story). You'd probably have spare change from your budget, plus you'd get to sell your b18

[BIGTYM]

EK9 in CW ftmfw!!!

[TheSaint]

i vote other ... get a AUDM DC5 Type-S

[rice_spirit]

lol unbelievable. He said What "Type R's", DC2 = VTIR genius.

Also already sorted it out with ind1 he just took my replys the wrong way.

last post for real no more spamming for me :)

slightly off topic. but dc2 actually refers to both the vtir and the type r model. as far as i know there is actually no official name called "dc2r" that's just what people call it to distinguish it between vtir and type r when talking about them.

i would get the dc2r. i much prefer going all out, so it's either a real sports car(dc2r) or luxury car(lexus and whatnot). nothing inbetween. but that's just me

[jks24]

99% of cars have been thrashed. and buying a ep3r or s2k and believing it hasnt been thrashed youre kidding urself. why else buy a s2k ep3r or s15 lol.
my cousin got his s15 with a upgraded FMIC apexi fower fc and fuel pump. made 201kw@the wheels when he bought it for $18k.
now he has new injectors new turbo (not sure which one) a new 500hp fuel pump, tomei cams and otha lil bits. cams still set to zero. still stock bottom end and made 270kw@ the wheels
I think 99% is a bit of an overstatement and the ep3r and s2k are newer cars. There are cars out there that have been babied their whole life, its just a mission to find them. Old guys seem to like s2000s lol...these are the ones to purchase. Turbo is the best bang for buck but it also brings a whole new list of things that can go wrong. At the end of the day the best reliability and build quality award goes to Honda.

[mugen_ctr]

Alot of miss information about turbo cars is what gives turbo cars in general a bad name... go own one than come back, an i guarantee you that they are no harder than any N/A car when it comes to modifying :)

All you gotta do is ask questions. Like whats the rev limiter set at? Is that were it bounces and wont go any faster? etc. Ask questions like that. If they say wtf i dont know, then you can guess they havent driven the car that hard. Be smart and think of questions that you can slip them up on etc.

This is a Honda forum and N/A is the Honda way ;)

I think you just get more satisfaction when you have built a really quick n/a 4banger. Like when you chop something with a turbo and they say "please tell me thats not n/a"

[dc2r-0636]

old guy selling a s2k is prbz selling it on behalf of his son or something. never no

[gumus89]

Except that you can ask who owns the car. If they tell you its themselves and then the rego transfer has their son on the title you dont have to buy it. They lied about the car and its history.

[dc2r-0636]

yeah true only hope that it is registered under the real owners name. a lot of young people have their car registered under their mums name or dads.

[amant02]

Any all Type R + S2k. You will not regret.

[Baby Face]

just my 2c

I asked a friend of mine who said he wanted a 4 door sporty car if a WRX would be to his liking he replied "its too wog" lol but srsly;


S2k isnt a type R but a very tall person can fit without too much hassle im like 185cm and fit in mine easy.

the reason the DC2R is so great is the amazing chassis and the double wishbone suspension that you wont get in any other "modern" Honda these days unless its in the Accord Euro or an S2k(some may argue its not modern because its out of production but thats just pedantic)

I wouldnt bother buying a Type R that didnt have double wishbone suspension its like starting handicapped, the results are proven. Unless it were a FD2r because that thing hauls.

an s15 is nice but its no amazing car, it was no great achievement the balance isnt anything fancy, and at the end of the day they look like 2 door camrys.

you could pick up the brz/86 second hand just about for that much money, but then you are getting a car that is arguably good, but under powered compared to your options and yeh a lot of them around already.

[Johnie]

Dc2r for sure
Still yet to get one well i do have one but its a rolling shell haha
For now pretty happy with a wrx and 180sx oh and dat dc2r shell at the back :p
