you would need another engine harness.
pedal box too..
possibly cluster..
shifter cables, shift knob etc
So doing those things will get me over 218hp easily?Quote:

Please help me out.
Personally, chasing power is fine, if it fits your budget.
However, in saying that, try not to chase for more power on that platform. If you want something just to enjoy, perhaps just a CAI should suffice for 'sound'. I've seen guys chase for more power because they got spanked on by "x" car. Then, it's a never ending battle to gain more power.
I know you have your reasons for doing so, so I respect that. It's just my opinion with all due respect to your build. Cheers and good luck.
Two things you can do....IMO
1-Sell and buy DC5/EP3
2-Keep it and bolt on a Jackson supercharger kit. Should be able to do it for round your budget!
Yeah that is totally true. I was just thinking of CAI, Full exhaust, Headers and some new rims. That comes to around 5k. If it can go more than 218hp, then yeah i would do it. Heck i drive mine stock and its pretty decent compared to the average car on the roard.Quote:

If you want to get techical, the AUDM Type R is the JDM Type S with a Type R body kit and interior.

Go on, get as technical as you like!
nothing wrong with modding a auto base model dc5
if u want more info, pm me and im happy to talk, cos all ur gonna get is criticism here
if u modify it right a base dc5 can get "close" to a type r performance/handling
Man whats the point of modding & spending $$ if your only gonna get close??? I mean after your done youll have close to Type R performance, you wont even be close to type S & your out of pocket all these $$$.
When money & modding is involved "CLOSE" aint good enough, save ur 5 G's hold out for a few more years and get a better car to mod, Something like an evo or GTi
Its red... and going by the file name, you use to own it, so technically, its shit.Quote:
