Hmm that is worrying haha!
I will check next time I drive it and let you guys know if I was possibly on drugs or if it really is as high as I remember. :P

my dc2r is hardparked.
only gets driven interstate.
lmzoooo
I have no interest in dc5r's so sorry for OT.
^ haha interstate travelling is fun, wish i could do that
here use this

its accurate enough to give you a figure at what rpm's you will/be travelling with different FD's. check your own too - dw too much if its not the same as what your cars doing, because our rev gauge isn't that accurate.
As I said before it could be a 4.9fd or your tacho might be out?
how come no one put up their tire spec when comparing?
because I (if not all the people replying) assume they are not the type to run 20" chromies.

Is a good idea for 6speed gear box
i love 4.7 more
....
anyway
OP - test it out but im sure in the long run you'll get over it & change back
if you do go through with it, give us some feed back on how crap it is...
or good.
:thumbsup:
How exactly do you break a final drive?
Im going the 5.1 FD from my 4.7. I am also isntalling the Accord euro/TSX 6th gear to keep rpms i think 2800 or 2500 rpm with the 5.1 fd at 110km/h . So that means I'll have more acceleration in gears 1-5 and 6th gear, the revs will be even lower!
I dont think the upgrade will have any downsides.. I mean on the FN2R/FD2R, their gear ratios are exact same as the dc5s, except for shorter final drive. So when i upgrade my FD to 5.1 and using 17inch wheels instead of 18inch, it should be a good increase in acceleration without over doing it.
