It'd be worth saving that bit extra for a DC5R.
There's a nice Blue one in Liverpool with very low k's and 2003/4 model? I would of been onto it but Blue wasn't my colour.

Yes, I am currently looking at the one in liverpool :). Very nice, low k's 2004 model.
Get the DC5 05-06 Type S, the K20Z1 engine spec is a lot closer to the JDM-spec Type R K20A such as the Camshafts, crankshafts, throttle body size, exhaust manifold diameter..etc. plus more tweaks on the suspension geometry, quicker Steering response, overall body rigidity, gearing ratio....
The Aust 1st generation DC5 "Type R" K20A2 is a watered-down version thats only suitable for Australian RON type fuel. The Type S has a lot more tuning potential, based on the JDM model and further refined for the Australian RON fuel
Get the Type S, its what the Type R should be in the first place, besides it revs higher than the Aust Type-R. Hardcore Honda enthusiast should know that, people are just fooling themselves getting the Aust. version Type R with a K20A2 engine instead of the K20A

Stock for stock both the cars are on par with each other. The Type S might have more power (An enormous 7kw), but it has more weight (Due to sunroof, sound deadening, airbags in the seats etc)... it also lacks an LSD. Also the K20z1 only has the exhaust cam of the K20a.
As has been discussed on this forum (And many others), both the cars are great, both the cars are going to react very similarly to engine mods. You just have to decide, do you want the boy racer look with Recaro's (Type R), or do you want the more subtle look with leather seats (Type S)
^ very good info... GET HIM BOYS!!! (I meant rep him for his informative post) =]

They are either 18's or 19's. Looked AWESOME on the blue DC5R he had.

that is all.
my vote goes to DC2R. this is the car that brought me into the "Type R" thing. it is perfect stock and with a little mod it's better than perfect lol.
i used to look down onto the AUDM DC5R becos we got the watered down version. however after driven a mild mod DC5R my mine has changed. they can be great cars and i love the interior better than the DC2R.
so personally i'd buy a DC2R over DC5R. however it's not easy to find one in mint condition so i wouldn't mind a DC5R and do a few mod to it and it'll be a great car as well.
Yer i just had to make that decison and went with the dc5
