DC5R Mods

[The Dog]

aye, i just wanted 2 know, the people wit a DC5R, wat mods uve done wit ur cars. pics wood b greatly preciated. OHH and prices! (reason: just picked up a stock DC5R n wanted 2 cee wat people have done)
Cheers.
and just one more thing, wat engine oil do u's use? i did a major service wen i first got the car n got the genuine honda stuff but it only comes in one thickness: 10W -sumfin...
i thought i wood need a slightly thicker oil due 2 my car being an 01' model (70,000km)

nice choice of car and colour too.

my first mod was the injen cai which i got second hand for $370 a long time ago. best mod i have to say, brings out the vtec roar.
spoon headers with cat mod for 1000
toda catback for 700
innovative motor mounts for 500
thats about it.

as for engine oil, im using motul 8100 x-cess. but honda feo is fine so long as it aint burning too much.

sweet. do those innovative engine mounts make a big difference in the handling? where did u pick them up from?

[The Dog]

how u had ur car dyno'd b4 and after? if not at all, do u think it goes n handles better?

My first mod was Fuji RM01A catback then Tein SS coilover.

Toda header+ Brembo after that.

ive been gettin different opinion bout cat-back exhausts. sum say the Fuji RM01A & others say the buddyclub. still not sure which one im gonna go 4 in the end but ill have sum time 2 research.

where did u get the jap spec brembos from? is it noticeably better braking?

AVID Racing Mounts FTW
they actually provide replacement engine mount bracket
Innovative never came with it.

From my experience people are very happy with Avid mounts , as soon as they installed it , it reduce the car wheel hop by alot.

A must for DC5R/EP3

why would you need a replacement engine mount braket for ?

honda-tech reviews say innovative mounts are great..

pm Chi if you want a set of Innovative mounts . he gets them for real cheap

Avid Racing DC5R billet mounts came with driver side mount and bracket.
The bracket is holded by 3 bolts compared to 1 bolt bracket Innovative set up. Avid Racing one hold up better in harsh driving abuse.

While Innovative dont provide this bracket. The bracket hold up by 1 bolt just like OEM replacement mounts
