Which R?

Which R?
hey everyone,

i recently had to write off my DC2R audm which i loved and would love to get another type r.

my options are another DC2R jdm front conversion (jdm og would be nice), DC5R audm or an EP3R JDM.

does anyone have any suggestions to which car is overall better? Love the look of all of them, so hard to choose. are there any pros and cons of any of these cars? does one stand out more than the other?
is the EP3 better since the motor/car got built in Japan?

if anyone could shed some light would be much appreciated.

Thanks

dc2r - overpriced
audm dc5r - shit
ep3r - good value

If only the EP3R had double A-arm front suspension, alas its stuck with mcpherson strut...

DC2R or EK9 CTR, that is all...lol

why are you limiting yourself to honda only?

32k can get you many other choices - unless you still a p plater

[CivicEGSI]

I'd probably go for the DC5R as personal preference cause it looks good/modern and drives better when modded. Looks more aggressive than EP3. EP3 would be the fastest out of the bunch cause it does have the JDM k20, but IMO the shape looks ugly and looks like every other EP3 on the road.. so it probably wont stand out. DC2R you already know what it feels like cause you had one.. so why choose an older car? Get the newer ones !!

My advice is dont rely on our comments to decide your car. Get out there and test drive them both to know what it feels like driving one before you make your OWN decision on one.. but to answer your question, I'd definitely pick the DC5R over the two purely because it looks SO much better when modded..

Hope that helps

32k can buy a bb6

thanks so much for all the feedback everyone.
i do agree with the DC2R being over priced at the moment since i can spend a few hundred more and get a newer model that will also most likely have less K's done on it.

can anyone please explain why the DC5R's AUDM are shit? ive seen good reviews on DC5R. are they talking purely about the JDM DC5?
if so what is the difference that makes the oz DC5R so shit?

is there anything bad about an EP3R?
are the tegs better in any way taking cosmetics out of the picture. im purely in it for quality. i already had the looks with my jdm converted DC2R.

from what i have gathered, people are telling me the JDM EP3R is the go. would any of my other options (tegs) be better in performance or handling in any way?

EP3R, anything made in the generation after that just gets too heavy without extra power to compensate.

DC2R is my personal choice of your options. True sports car, classic looks, best handling etc. love it. Go Phoenix yellow for once lol

I was gonna get one but couldnt stand seeing them everywhere. Awesome torque from 3-6k but after that just died. Revving a Type R all the way to redline feeling it pulling is just awesome!

True. I used to have a Pulsar GTiR, even though it was faster, the power was so linear and didn't give the same feeling as the Type R. Wasn't impressed with my mates S3 either.

Oh nice, AWD SR20DET?

Rawness of the Type R gets me everytime :) When i was selling my white EG, i had a few people with GTiR's willing to swap

[DarkAgent]

Yep. This was back in NZ though.

I'm interested to know how the Toyota 2ZZ-GE in the Celica compares, not that I'd ever get one.

Hmm, similar engine specs to B18c7. 11.5:1 compression, feck! Would be interesting..
