buying a type r

[vtec_yoo]

Hey guys im currently in the market for an Integra type r, preferably dc5.

My budget is around 18k for the car, What price should i be looking at for a dc5?

Also is my budget a little low for a dc5? would i be better off looking for a dc2?

Im pretty fussy when it comes to purchasing cars, never like anything to far over 100k km wise and will never buy a car without log books. Also do not really like anything extensively modified.

My reasoning to preference over a dc5 is due to the fact that whenever i have driven one it feels like a much smoother ride then the dc2, suspension wise considering sydneys roads.

I know there are alot of dc2r vs dc5r threads and have read a majority of them and my questions are not really answered in them,

Any input woud be great thanks,

[CRXDEL501]

in that search, there arent really many under 100,000kms.
more kms doesnt necessarily mean that the car is in any worse condition, although it could be.
just check for service history, and should be fine.
there may not be anything you like now, but be patient.
good luck

[vtec_yoo]

whats carsales? is that a virus?

But seriously.. the only one i would consider would be the limited edition one for 19k but i cant justify spending that much for a dc2r...

is there Any comfort differences with dc2r and dc5r or am i just being skeptical?

This would be a daily btw and only get taken to the track here and there

[CRXDEL501]

no, carsales is not a virus.
i did a search for type r's for sale in sydney for you.

both dc2r and dc5r are fine for daily.

dc2r is considered more 'raw' as many threads will state.

you just have to search and find something your happy with for the price and kms it has.

[vtec_yoo]

lol i was being a dick, i know what carsales is.. its where ive basically spent all my time the last 2 years..

Do you know what price a good dc2r should be going for? i mean advertising prices are one thing but what they should be going for is a completely different scenario.

[CRXDEL501]

Righto....

I sold mine 10 months ago for $16,500 with 100,000kms and was awesome condition

[vtec_yoo]

yeh i guess ill just have to be patient and stick it out till a good one comes round... what do you own now?

[unl3a5h]

have you considered an ep3r?

[C.I.SIvic]

If comfort is an issue try DC5S. Biggest thing is it misses Recaros (the leather is absolutely crap if you're cornering somewhat hard) and LSD. On the plus side they are comparable price to DC5R, generally lower mileage (due to age) and more chance a granny has driven it.

[vtec_yoo]

Yeh Im taking comfort into consideration but I couldn't live with the fact of buying a type s instead of type r lol no offence to type s owners

[GSi_PSi]

That DC2R limited edition one, i can tell you its in absolute immaculate condition. Known most of the owners and they have treated the cars very well.

[rhys.l]

Sounds like you would be better of with a dc5r. I guess having extra torque from an engine would kind of come under comfort for driving as well? Dc2rs seem to be going up in value. I paid less than most of those for an immaculate one owner car with 9x xxx 18 months ago.

I don't see how dc2r's are going up in value
I could have tried to sell mine for 18k, but in reality they are getting old and the kms are getting higher
With more people wanting to modify k series, dc5's I think are the way to go

Yeah some people prefer them, and there are dc2r enthusiasts out there, but even for a clean one I wouldn't pay more than 15k again when you could get a dc5r for not much more

Unless the dc2r has a k series, then that's the exception

Looks immac.. Looks too clean lol, has it had a respray ?

[GSi_PSi]

Looks immac.. Looks too clean lol, has it had a respray ?

I don't think so looks like factory paint, its hardly ever driven as i used to see the car in campbelltown when Paul owned it and like once a month and it would be straight to the car wash sitting there washing and waxing it
and now new owner works at autobarn and treats it with the same care.

[integraR]

why not consider ep3r?

less km's than either dc2r/dc5r and better condition than most dc5r/dc2r

value for money in my opinion

The exact same way i see it, i dont want to be spending more then 15 on a 99 model car, it is 13 years old interior is outdated, is basically the same as the 94 model vti-r's and a dc5r shouldnt really be going for too much more.

ive previously owned 3 hatchbacks, trying to get into a coupe.. finally.... lol and not really that interested in their looks to be honest

[DakDak]

I think a DC5R would suit you best.
Just remember just cause something is modified doesnt mean its been thrashed.
You can drive something hard but just as long as it's in good condition and has been serviced meticulously I'll still buy it. If you bought a sports car and hard parked it all day you'd look dumb and its only fair to expect the same from others. To me thrashed means Habib has been doing sick burnouts, flat changes [stuff I wouldn't be doing even if I was giving it a hiding] without servicing and taking car of the car. Writing it off and doing dodgy repairs.

And lets say if you wanted a car with IHE and coilovers etc, you can pick one up with all that done FOR ALOT CHEAPER trust me. A stock DC5R can be fun for only so long.

Happy shopping.

[vtec_yoo]

yeh im fine with picking one up with i/h/e and coilovers things like that, extensive im a lil worried about. I saw a mint dc5r driving infront of me yesterday! just makes me want it more... its fate haha :)

btw whats the best way i can go about inspecting a car.. im not to good when it comes to hands on with cars, anyone on the forum i can bring down? happy to give a little cash for their time.

And learning hands on things any thing i can do? lol

[integraR]

ive previously owned 3 hatchbacks, trying to get into a coupe.. finally.... lol and not really that interested in their looks to be honest

hmmm okay

are you still on p plates though? if so how long till your fulls

because with your budget you could get a lot of nice cars i.e s15, 180sx, r33 gtr

[vtec_yoo]

yeh im still on my p's... i was originally going to stick it out ive had my p's for 3 yrs but because of some license complications still have 1 yr left. I was going to look into an evo 7/8, r33 gtr or s15 but having said that. the r33 if anything goes even though its my dream car i dont think id be able to afford it atm even just general up keep. The s15 is a lil to common and in general im assuming a turbo cars maintenance requirements would be more expensive, even just petrol consumption insurance and those things

Let us compare the typing patterns of these two. Both of them speak in very broken English. Neither of them use periods at the ends of their sentences. Both of them live in the Sydney area and drive JDM DC2Rs. Well, actually, Forbiddenoob claims JDM, whereas the Carsales post admits that it's simply a JDM front swap (obviously due to the undisclosed front-ender). So it's pretty bloody obvious that he's trying to flog his own car.

Maybe if it wasn't a crashed, faded, modified, overpriced piece of shit, I wouldn't mind the dishonesty so much.

lmaooo at final statement. hahaha!

Can anyone answer my questions about my noobness in regards to car mechanics

[DakDak]

lmaooo at final statement. hahaha!

I paid like 230 for a mobile mechanic to come and inspect a car. wasnt worth it imo.

He just took it for a test drive and jacked it up. Didnt do a compression test.
All you got to look for if you are really noob is something out of place. you have to know what certain components look like e/g a coilover.
Jack the car up and have a look around. Pay particular attention to the engine bay. Look for STAINS. Most of the time someone could of done a messy home job fluid change. Which is ok. What is most important is detecting an oil leak. Oil leak=low oil pressure=engine failure.

Check the exhaust for excessive smoke. White or blue smoke is BAD. A single puff of it is ok but anything over 1 sec means the head gasket needa to be replaced or the piston rings are wearing.

While driving the car does it crunch?
If it does crunch in a couple gears it means the clutch needs to be bled.
Anything out of that is a BIGGER problem eg syncro etc.

while checking all wheels and suspension give the components a shake and tug. One evo I had a look at needed the rear left wheel bearing replaced as there was alot of play.

At the end of the day it is a USED car. you are going to have to compromise.
If you want brand spanking new no problems. Then you need to buy brand spanking new.

I crashed my ek a while ago while looking at a DC5R. Don't get it they are evil cars

yeh i know the basics like crunching of gearbox smoke blowing and oil leaking but besides that im utterly useless lol

I used a place called stateroads when i got my DC2R from melb. They sent me a 5 page report about the car. Jacked it up, comp tested it, did a REVS check, went over paint with a meter to test the thickness. Cost me $280, money well spent!

I dont agry with the telling of the price range before viewing the car...

people will think ur a tosser who will futher lowball the car if u agry to a lower price...

i usually just inspect the car, offer my low ball and they usually seem to accept, although my lowballs are only like -2k off the asking price.

i also tell people come inspect the car before you lowball so u dont futher lowball me when u come see it.

[TGW92]

Whether or not it is seen as low balling will depend on how keen he is to sell and on the overall condition of the car...

(for 12-13k you're usually looking at a fairly dirty dc2r unless you are just lucky, 14k+ will get you an increasingly clean example...

Speaking of condition, a few other things to look for when inspecting the car;

tire tread and condition, and tire pressure can indicate how well the car is treated

brake pads (should be at least 5mm or so left) and brake rotors (shouldn't feel much of a lip on the edge as you rub a finger along the rotor inside to outside)

Fuel filter is easy to spot, best if it is oem

Check radiator for dodgy patch up jobs particularly through the gap in the front bar (audm front)

And I guess just general cleanliness of car and engine bay

These may all seem like little things but they are very easy to check and would cost thousands if they all need replacing...

Overall don't be afraid to ask lots of questions as the seller should be more than happy to answer them if you are a serious buyer...

Hope this helps a bit

HAving owned 2 DC2R's and looked at quite a few all i can is you get what you pay for. Nothing wrong for a paying a little bit more for piece of mind which will be well worth it in the long run. A cheap DC2R usually means bad condition, especially has ecumberence, stolen/wrecked.

Buy a Vtir

lol, kinda defeats the purpose of the DC2R, if thats the case just buy a DC5R.

The best you can do is add some sound deading (dynamat or equivalent) in the doors, on the floor and around the firewall.

If you add sound deadening to it, ur doin it wrong.....

Dc2r isn't insanely harsh, you do get used to it. Not the best car for stop and start traffic but you'll live

Otherwise buy a dc5r or vtir as mentioned above

[dc2r]

If you want to make a dc2r not ride harsh and add sound deadening, etc. my suggestion is to not get one. A dc2r is for the enthusiasts who can live with it. Making it ride softer and adding weight (sound deadening) defeats the purpose of owning one. As everyone is saying, get a dc5r. You'll be happy with it.

[Indie]

its like saying... go buy a skyline, get a gtst instead of gtrNo, because a GTS-T is RWD, and a GT-R is AWD. They are very different cars, and there are legitimate reasons for owning the former over the latter.

[vtec_yoo]

You can always disable hicas [awd system] and gtr has bigger engine, better build and upgraded features of basically all gtst products

[senna]

You can always disable hicas [awd system] and gtr has bigger engine, better build and upgraded features of basically all gtst products

The AWD system is called ATTESA - Hicas is featured in the GTS-T too, its the rear steering system.

There are pros and cons of owning a GT-R vs GTS-T, depends on what you want to do with the car. GTS-T is cheaper to maintain and lighter, GT-R has better factory fitted motor and AWD.

notsrs
I don't know why you have a natsrs tag there.

cos why would you consider a dc2r if you wanted a car with a softer ride?

[Indie]

You can always disable hicas [awd system] and gtr has bigger engine, better build and upgraded features of basically all gtst productsBut why would you spend extra money on a GT-R only to cripple it, when you could simply buy the cheaper, lighter, simpler GTS-T? You wouldn't. Even the RWD N/A Skylines aren't really 'gimped' when compared to the GT-R, as some people will want that setup over an AWD turbo. Each car serves a different purpose.

The Integras, on the other hand, are just a straight progression of three N/A FWDs, making anything less than the Type R redundant, rather than simply different.

Buy a house with (eg) 1000sqr mtrs living area.

eat and cook & watch tv in the 4 car garage. park cars outside. they even leave the couches wrapped up in plastic.

you're saying the same thing, buy the best, don't use it, just for posing

Dude if youre set on a type R just get one,and making it less "harsh",well softer spring and damper rates will help in that respect

If by harshness you mean road noise,you can add sound absorbing material if you wish but I think just softer suspension will satisfy you by the sound of it

A lot of the dc2r's around are weekend cars.

Yeh mines a weekend car, put like 6,000 KMs a year on it. I hate it when people drive a special car and rack up the KMs on it. I see new WRX STi Hatches etc on 100,000 KMs or wateva already.. wtf?

And DC2R on stock suspension isn't harsh at all.

[DarkAgent]

Something doesn't seem right about that car. Engine bay seems way too dirty for such low kilometers.

Too much wear on seats.

Spark plug cover changes between photos (may just be from an old photo).

Cowling faded, drivers door trim armrest faded.

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

[RtN]

That yellow one DOES have a clean engine bay, and the spark plug cover is the same, just the angle. Cowling always fades like that, not sure about door trim but may be the flash creating that effect.

Engine bay is pretty clean for a 12 year old car.

Also the car's paintwork looks bit pale but thats only because of flash I believe.

Only suspicious thing I see is footwells, carpet, seats are worn

So not sure.

if you dont like the harsh ride and outdated interior and all that, get dc5r or ep3
you might wanna look at other options as well? autech, sportivo, mx5... just decide what you really want and get the right car

[DarkAgent]

In all honesty, DC2Rs are well overpriced. However, there's nothing really like it. If I had of paid 17.5k for one I would have been disappointed though.

It is definitely a drivers car but I dont think thats worth the price that is demanded. Its a status thing, if I had that much money I would be getting a DC5R, EP3, S2000 or even 8th Gen Civic Type R.

[RtN]

LOL...have you driven both? They are different cars.... Why do you think its held its price? Because it's worth it, why would you pick 8th Gen LOL! G0t M4cPh3rs0n 57Ru7? If you can just add power, the looks and handling and everything of DC2R > ALL, cept S2000 which can be done up to be pretty awesome.

Fanboyism actually

Do you think 1985 4ac toyota sprinters were worth 5-7k,no probably $500 at best,it was fanboyism at play again or "takumi tax" as people said...

[infurNOS]

in SA, DC2R's get a fair bit of street cred.

[RtN]

It's still not that exp, but I would def pay more for a DC2R in good condition than a DC5R in good condition. Seriously have to drive the car to know the difference, people just look at spec sheet or like the rounded shape of DC5R and think its newer therefore better.

[DarkAgent]

In defense of the prices that are asked for them, most people do keep them in much better condition than whats the norm for second hand cars.

The reason I would choose a DC5R is because the DC2 shape is 18 years old. Its hard to justify paying so much for such an old car.

I would genuinely like to know what you think the big difference is between the DC2R and DC5R. I think the lack of sound deadening fools a lot of people into thinking its something more than what it is.

I disagree.

most dc2r owners are P plates yelling (lol) "yolo" driving them into the ground before smashing into a tree or upgrading to evo when they get off their P plates.

[GSi_PSi]

I actually think DC2Rs are reasonably priced, thrashed ones can be picked up for 10k, where as the more decent ones in 15k+
There is less and less of them going round for sale (carsales etc) as more people are keeping them/writing them off/track specd

[RtN]

Yeh I do recognise some people like DC5R shape over DC2R shape, but DC2R is by no means an "old" shape. It just looks more manly imo, less rounded edges. Lack of sound deadening, double wishbone, lighter car, the LOOKS (different people different perspectives but I don't like how the DC5 is so rounded, needs to be more "edgy". the SR3 Recaros, the interior even with the fake cf, hydro gearbox, lower centre of gravity (dependent on how low you make your car but if it was even from car to ground dc2r would be lower), and a biggie.... DC5R = NO LSD.


Stock for stock.. DC2R would bet a DC5R around track keeping all other factors constant.

What GSi PSi said... there are cheap DC2Rs that look like their age and are cheaply priced yeh if you think dc2r is worth 10k go buy that one. If you want one that is looked after then that is your choice and pay over 15k for a rarer car. Demand vs Supply. Good condition DC2Rs are high demand low supply cars. Where as DC5R is mediocre demand, mediocre supply.

[DarkAgent]

DC5R has LSD, its the Type S that doesn't if I remember correctly.

You can justify the inflated price in a variety of ways, but does any of that actually mean that the car is worth upwards of $15k? No. There are newer and faster cars in that price range.

The only reason that people are able to charge the prices they do is that there are DC2R enthusiasts who are willing to pay it.

Cool suggestion but i think it would look a bit ricey...no?

Hmmm, put carbon fiber wrap on to add weight. Kind of defeats the purpose of CF.

i agree ep3r a lil roundish.. is carbon fiber really that much lighter? worth how much it costs?

carbon fibre has a tensile strength almost 3 times greater than that of steel, and is 4.5 times less dense
