Audm Dc2r Vs Jdm Dc2r, Who's Sexier

[monstaR]

Hey guys, I know that most people would like to do a front end jdm dc2r conversion to their tegR. But has anyone stop to think that there maybe jap dudes in japan wanting to do an audm dc2r conversion?????? Wouldn't our front end look damm good in Japan? Well I feel that the R's that were brought into aussie are pretty sexed up and I will standby this... Any views guys?

[Sp3rMz]

well i reakon wat u said was a crock of shit (sorry to sound rude i just felt like sayin crock of shit LOLOLOOL) but majority of people have i spoken to prefer the ausdm head ova the jdm.....Realisticali i would have bought a jdm ova ausdm becoz of power and cheaper but the head looks yuk yuk to me thats why i stuck wit aussi....the square lights make it look like old gen teg.....mind u i cant talk much coz i put a xtreme kit on my front changes the front LOL....

BTW monstaR can u start an POLL so we can see the stats.

[faijai]

i personally like the jdm front.

[toE]

i reckon a pink nose would look l33t ;) be it JDM, AUSDM, SINGDM, BNDM, MYDM, bla, bla, bla :p

[Sp3rMz]

lets not forget VNDM

[CJL]

I would much rather the jdm version for sure looks heaps better.........

[Jay]

jdm rules !
but an itr is an itr wouldnt complain
and done the rite way nething looks good

[vtml]

I personally prefer the JDM. But due to various issues, I would more prefer to get an AUDM, which is what I have. I can't also justify spending money on body kits/conversions to make it look good. The car looks good as it is.

Funny it seems cos most of my friends actually prefer the JDM spec..... but as i said, I'd prefer the audm spec but the thing is that it is hard to find a nice after market kit that would suit it (I mean jap ones)... the ones from us and aust looks funny. As for the Jap spec, they have kits from ings and cwest etc that makes the car look awesome man.... :wave:

[Sp3rMz]

man im losin this battle -_- might have to withdraw my statement soon...but in the end i gues it does come down to personal taste....

[monstaR]

Hey you have your own point of view as well man... no heart feelings dude.... cheers :D

[type one]

the only reason i'd want a JDM front end is for the spoon cf bonnet hehehe and c-west front bar.

[Lepperfish]

jdm

[vtir22]

hmmmm what about the Spoon CF lip? :)

1. 98 spec JDM dc2r
2. AUDM dc2r
3. 96 spec JDM dc2r

However 98 JDM dc2r's are RARE. To my suprise I think I did see one once in Melbourne, but not sure if it was a conversion. Them 16" JDM rims look shweet! and there's no way I'd say no to them factory HIDs :D. But apart from this, our AUDM dc2r's are pretty much the same I believe so I'm happy. Thank goodnes we didn't get the American spec ones. Has anyone noticed the rims, steering wheel and recaros they get in them?? :thumbdwn:

[wynode]

Here's something someone thought of awhile ago ;)

[monstaR]

Hey vtir22 you mean spoon actually makes cf lips for audm dc2r???? Whoa what will it look like.... :thumbsup:

[philBo]

lets not forget VNDM

vietnam!??

hahahaha..reminds me of that sticker i saw on an old lude or something in springy a while ago. "powered by vietnam"

[linkorr]

Jdm!

[IRI]

AUDM, looks way more modern (for a ten year old design)

[[[d a n n y]]]

JDM looks much better ..
the twin lights r ugly...

[redliner]

jdm engine with ausdm body :)

nope only for jdm.

[monstaR]

Thanks type one...... so are there any jap aero kit makers that make body kits for audm dc2r?

[baboo]

It's all about exclusivity.

Guys in Japan wants the USDM or AUSDM look on their integra. some even has triple round headlights instead of twin ones. (but that's just plain ugly)

We want JDM look in Oz and states. It's a cycle, we always want things that other people have.

I bet if Integra came out with twin round headlights in Japan and long headlight in Oz, people will rushing to get a twin headlight conversion.

I'm with you on of this, JDM appearance, doesn't make the car better. Even though people seem to think that :confused:

[monstaR]

Hey the audm seems to look better then the jdm in the pic...lol....jdm seems like vtir in the pic and the audm the type r.....lol :thumbsup:

[linkorr]

Jdm Jdm Jdm!!!!

[nipnip]

i like both. i think the JDM looks better with a c-west kit and when its stationary, the AUSDM looks agreesive when the car is in motion.

[enoch]

i saw a jdm dc2r with CF bonnet for sale on tradingpost before.....i shouldve bought that instead of my dc4....

[TeMp]

AUDM, looks way more modern (for a ten year old design)

I agree that AUDM looks more modern, but i still prefer a JDM :D Mainly because its more exclusive here and also there are more options for modding its looks

[jdmTYPE R]

im in the process of doing the jdm conversion at the moment starting to loook sweet payed big buxs for it to came with hid head lights

[monstaR]

Hey dude how much did u pay for it?

[monstaR]

I'd figure when they start bringing in more dc2rs from jap..... eg skyline gtst... the audm Rs will be less common. :D

[linkorr]

Hey dude how much did u pay for it?

yeah how much. mmmm HID lights.. nice.. would love to get HIDS lights on my AUDM Dc2.. the other two would be yellow no??

[steve_civic]

Jdm is better coz it JDM and we all know JDM rocks

/sarcasm

[Da1nONLY]

audm man! =)
all the way
the jdm loooks like the g2 ls tegs!

[jdmTYPE R]

Hey dude how much did u pay for it?

i payed $2500 for the complete ,it came with those cut, healight,bonnet,pair guards,front bar

[linkorr]

i payed $2500 for the complete ,it came with those cut, healight,bonnet,pair guards,front bar

$2500 is not too expensive. There was this other guy in the threads saying that Jetspeed does it for $3500. You gotta bring it for a cruise and show it off man. woo!!! :cool:

[monstaR]

How about a deformed r?????? Half audm and half jdm....lol would look like a monstar mate....unreal ;)

[SiR JDM]

I agree with baboo

but with that said, the JDM is ****ing hot! probably because its rarer? im not sure.. but its fk'n hott IMO :D

[bigteethygrin]

does the audm dc2r have all the same bars to makes the chasis rigid like the jdm one does?? i remember watching a dvd on the jdm dc2r and theres sooo many extra bars they put in from front to back in order to reduce chasis flex.

[monstaR]

Heard from a friend that honda australia cannot bring in the jdms because it would not pass the crash standards of australia aligned to that of us so they had to make the japs create a new front for the aussie and the us mkt............. at least this is what i have heard. :D

[K3NstyL]

Interesting, wouldnt be the first time an import has been rejected for that...

[monstaR]

Maybe you are right but as i said this is hearsay............. :rolleyes:

[jdmTYPE R]

just got my car back from the panel beater to change the radiator support got the bonnet guards headlights on already now waiting to get it sprayed

[[[d a n n y]]]

YEah? what was necessary to chage over?

[jdmTYPE R]

pretty much the complete front panel and get the radiator support changed over from the jdm spec and rewire up the headlights

[Spoon DA9R]

so including labor how much would a conversion cost? anyone in melb can give me some idea???? on where?

found a set of conversion kit for US$1350...gd?

[jimus888]

i want the jap spec r, with the aussie front.

[Spoon DA9R]

ok..u get JDM then i swap with ya

[jimus888]

hahaha deal, just need to find one, and money

[arron]

i want the jap spec r, with the aussie front.

lol, thats different.. a fresh idea i guess.
yeah, talk about diggin up an old thread...

why bother paying someone to do the labour required for a J-spec front-end? Do-it-yourself! You'll save so much money, get to know your car maybe a lil more, be proud of what you have achieved and have fun.

Im in the process of gathering bits and pieces for the J-spec/JDM front end swap. (yes there's goin to be another jap front dc2r on our roads but this one's goin to be BLACK). As I am in no rush to do the conversion, im just sitting back waiting for bargains to pop up so that i can snap them up right away .As soon as i have all the parts, i'll be sitting my car in the garage while it gets a new face.

in terms of parts alone, expect to pay anywhere between $900-$1300 (depending on conditions of part whether 2nd hand or new). I dont' think its worth it if you're going to have to pay another $1000 just for labour.

Apparently the JDM radiator/bumper support is the trickiest part of the conversion. Some welding involved and maybe a few holes here and there (not 100% certain, this is just what i have gathered from previous posts and some people who have done the conversion already). Everything else is pretty much 'swap and go'.

Hope this helps/motivates/explains stuff in regards to a JDM front end conversion.

[JJ-LOVER]

JDM front end is much much better than four circles!!

[-MuGen PoWer-]

AUDM front is much better than two rectangles!!

[nudgen]

JDM! cos its rare

even tho i kinda like the audm :p

[dc2dc2dc2]

2 year old revival ftw~

AUDMFTW~!!!

[Malenic1981]

I got AUSDM and I like it but JDM would be nice for a fact that it would be much easier to get CF bonnets, lips ect.

[jimus888]

AUDM front is much better than two rectangles!!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[90LAN]

jdm is the shit !!!
looks more aggressive, jdm lines suit the teg a lot better
if you like bland than go for oz spec
thats because we always get the watered down version

[Spoon DA9R]

I got AUSDM and I like it but JDM would be nice for a fact that it would be much easier to get CF bonnets, lips ect.

and a JDM with CF bonnet would look much better compare to AUDM with CFbonnet...just...look weird....

JDM also have fog lights too....and personally...JDM is the true 3rd gen..if u compare it to the DA

but i still think AUDM is pretty gd...just that....JDM is closer to perfection

[STTICH]

both the sex :thumbsup:

[tRipitaka]

jazzes are hornier

[nudgen]

reading this thread makes me think..

i wanna get a jdm conversion :p

just need to get the $$ first HAHA

[marky53]

AUS looks better... JDM looks like the old model.... although I would prefer JDM performance.....

[IZY-10]

jdm all the way. Although wouldn't get a conversion. Money could be spent better in other ways. Couldn't beleive it yesterday i saw a 45yo woman driving a jdm style teg lol

[Spoon DA9R]

AUS looks better... JDM looks like the old model.... although I would prefer JDM performance.....

thats wot makes the JDM the true gen3 of integras

[DLO01]

I love my teg, such an amazing car. I like both styles in their own way.

Quite often people want what they dont have. :wave:

[lilwilliam]

yup jdm works for me audm looks crap -.- it doesnt give it the sexual arousment for me that jdm does for me :thumbsup:

[technify]

I rckn both look sex . it's an R . all good =]]] :thumbsup:

[Shraka]

Sorry to exhume a bit of a buried thread, but I thought that in Japan you could get either front for the Type R? Square headlights or the round ones?

Hrm... just looked at my sources at it seems that in October 1994, when the DC2 Type R came out in Japan, the Integra switched from the round headlights, to the square ones that everyone calls the 'JDM front'. So from May 1993 to October 1994, the JDM Integra had round headlights. But no Type R was produced during this period (highest they had was the Si VTEC).

So Japan has access to the earlier front for the Integra without importing, off their old Integras.

[skywings]

I've always liked the JDM headlights better, but will take AUDM headlights no problem. The best AUDM headlights I've seen was on a teg for sale a couple of months ago. The kit is a bit over the top, sure, but the lights look hot!

Hoo baby!

[Spoon DA9R]
