DC2 ITR 98 or 96??

[JDM_type_R]

can any1 tell me the difference between the JDM DC2 ITRs . i.e the difference between the 96 spec and the 98+ spec

[faijai]

the headers r made from different material
98+ came in 4-1 design

the 96 models came in 4 stud whereas the 98+ came in 5 stud
the 98+ came with hid's
dats all i can fink of right now.

[JDM_type_R]

is that where the extra power comes from.. also i heard it has a better gearbox, can any1 elaborate

[Chi]

bigger brakes on 98 spec.

NO SRS airbags in 96 spec.

4.4 FD for 96

4.7 FD for 98

refined ecu and exhaust+headers in 98

[faijai]

some of the difference in power form aus to jdm spec should be from the exhaust system and the ecu

[STTICH]

as stated. the most significant changes would probably b the larger diameter wheel/tyres, from 15 to 16 and also from 4 to 5 stud. brake rotors front/rear were increase larger. 98 model comes wth full stainless steel header providing more torque at low revs. and yea final drive for 96 spec is slightly lower.

oh tru aye.. the reason im asking this qn is because im tossing up between the 96 spec or 98 to go into my EG.. wondering if its worth the extra cash

[kOncept]

i'm pretty sure the 4th and 5th gear ratio is also different.

[jooboo]

im pretty sure 98 has air con!:P

[JDMTMY]

hey...is this the halfcut ova at BMI?? i was actually lookin at getting one for myself lol are the 2 halfcuts still there??

[Malenic1981]

I think 98 would be better, what's the price difference???

[jooboo]

well if u only goin for the front cut the diffs are the just FD is diff..4.4 to 4.7...98 gets 4-1 headers...and also the 1st 500 96 JDM were hand built...but after that they designed machines that did a finer job..id go with the 98

[Kawasaki]

98spec jdm = HID 96spec jdm = No HID

[dc-r]

96 jdm is little faster then 98 jdm in 1/4 mile...
cause of gear ratio....

[jooboo]

96 is not faster then the 98 they ran exact times down the 1/4 mile...also i made a mistake b4..4th 5th n FD ratios were diff on the 98 spec

[jooboo]

96spec - 4th 1.107, 5th 0.848, fd 4.4
98spec - 4th 1.034, 5th 0.787, fd 4.785
