Recently sold my vt supercharged commodore because I couldn't pass up this cheap dc2 vtir i found.
Anyway left a deposit, sold the vt came back with cash and I'm on my merry way, with a car I've always wanted.

Surprisingly everything works and is stock down to the head unit and has a service history up till 215,000km (car is at 225,000)
Drives straight, doesn't blow any smoke(even at vtec)
paid 3150 for it without rwc(lets hope that doesn't require too much work)


To do list:
Obtain RWC
Stick front "H" badge on, have it in glove box but needs to be put on. rear H looks crooked
Fix annoying electric antenna rattling noise when it comes down
Clean interior/interior windscreen/carpet
Replace 2 tyres(for now)
Service, oil/filter/plugs etc.

Future Mods:
CAI
Twin Loop muffler/exhaust (maybe)
Type r Front lip + colour code
Typre r spoiler + colour code
Facelift rear bumper

Some questions,
Does facelift rear bumper come out in this colour/would it be a straight swap?
what's best place to get type r spoiler / lip? are aftermarket ones worth getting?
if a tree falls on the moon, does it make a sound?

Welcome abourd!

How do you find the power difference?

I'd say they are pretty on par considering my vt had a 10psi pulley (auto though)
Integra is way more fun to drive and handles 100x better

Welcome buddy.

You will find that the teg will walk away slightly from the commo due to the 300kg + in weight difference.

If you need anything for the teg let me know. Im located in Dandy

I believe the US gsr is the vtir equivelent.
Don't see the point in paying 300 dollars for an injen/aem intake

DIY with PVC pipe and a 3A JDM style racing pod filter

Got roadworthy today and noticed that the seals around the top of windshield aren't properly in place. asked the guy who replaced the windscreen, he said that that was the best he could do.
not sure what to do.

Picked up a CAI off dc2screama exactly like the one on ebay, will install 2morro.
dc2screama said he will be selling his dc2 vtir soon, so if anyone interested, i reckon it's a pretty baller dc2.

Hit 2 massive puddles of water(which i didn't see) on the way home from work, got me worried about water getting into the pod filter near front bumper

Hey, welcome, to answer your questions.
Facelift rear bar can be bought with that colour it will be hard to find it exactly that colour but its out there, Theres one at deer park wreakers but its in dark blue, not sure hoe much they want for it.
Everyone wants a type r spoiler so it can be hard to find aswell
And good buy for that price.

Cheers mr lay, I plan on buying an aftemarket spoiler and just primer/acrlylic/clear coat/sanding/cutting/polishing it, hopefully it will fit alright.

Update:
Stuck on front "H" today
Installed CAI
Very tight fit, barely managed to get the splash guard on properly

Sounds very nice and can slightly hear the vtec crossover
didnt know how to put that blue vacuum hose on so i just slipped it on to the other end of the factory vacuum hose.

Next up, new battery(almost got stranded a few times)/service and steam clean interior/engine bay

So guys, unfortunately today the car died on me. Oil light started flashing 5 minutes before I got to work and i drove it for a couple minutes with the oil light on and it died.
Should have just towed it striaght away, but I thought I'd be able to make it home.

I was looking forward to posting the pics of posting my lip installed and te37 reps once I got my phone back from repairs. Was looking forward to getting it lowered too :(
Hopefully she'll live again,If not, WTS BROKEN DC2 VTIR

Something everybody should know, if the red oil light comes on, switch the engine off IMMEDIATELY. You've most likely run out of oil.

Engines have a tendency to blow out when there's no/minimal lubrication.

What happened anyway? Like, what's actually broken inside the engine?

GL with the engine, hope it's not too much trouble.

In regards to your rattling antenna, best thing to do is just to rip the antenna motor & everything out. Then install this antenna, it's awesome and really good quality. Site even has an instruction manual.

gewd news gais,
She's alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New oil pump and now she's good to go.
Got some maintenence out of the way while pump was out, including timing belt, water pump(slight leak) rocker cover gasket, sump gasket, flushed coolant new oil and filter + couple other things.
Sounds like it's running like it use to.
Lucky I didn't risk trying to keep driving after it stalled :D
