love my DC5R. can't think of owning any other car ...at least not until the next supra or rx7 comes out.
in terms of performance, DC2R, DC5R and DC5S are pretty much on par, stock for stock in a straight line and around corners - at least that was what motor magazine found when they ran the three against eachother, so just base your purchasing on your other preferences - styling, modifications, feel and all of the above comments from others.
yeh motor magazine and they all came out nearly dead even.
ive heard the dc5r is more comfortable but depends on what your after.
dc2r is a like a street legal track car where as the dc5r takes comfort into consideration aswell as speed and style.
the k series engines will respond better to light bolt on mods more than the b18c7 will, such as CAI, exhaust, etc.
personally im a dc2r person but i had a look inside a dc5r the other day and they are just as nice on the inside as they are on the outside
I have owned a few quick cars (350hp rx7 etc), and I can honestly say that the DC5 Type R is the most fun to drive and best car I have owned. It is comfortable yet has some power there when needed.
Only problem is once you start modding you cant stop :(
Its all about what you want/need. Some people need a car with lots of power that are heaps fast in a straight line and can 'decimate all' at the lights.
Whereas there are other people like us here who are much happier with a car that rewards us with total balance and handling. - and those Recaros, nuff said.
Like everybody else said......DC5R is a fun car to drive. Lot comfy compare to DC2R. Easier to drive on a daily basis mainly due to it's extra torque.
Only problem is once you start modding you cant stop :([/QUOTE]
hmmmmmmmm.......... then should i start? hehehehehe
yeh hey... cos some times u have to get the lot if u wana have one thing.. like
Spoon calipers* u need bigger offset to clear it so RAYS added.
Air Intake, was thinking abt mugen is the best until i read abt GruppeM, then i can buy the Mugen exhaust plus TOda headers to gain more power...
TAKATA.. DEfi ( do i need them?)
Tein SS.. (the oem suspension is abit too stiff) and the EDFC? hahah
Front bar and rear sway bar ( makes it handle better)
VAFC II... ( Vetc at 5500 RPM)
New ECU? (where is it anyway?)
HID? (Make it 9000K geeeee i cant see) :cool:
and the list goes on....
How abt the Engine?? ;) i think i will leave it as it is...
cheers

Why vince? you dun like ur R or sth.....or just hate the motivation from everyone so you can't stop modding ur R.... :p :confused:Quote:

just depends on wot u want from ur car...if u don't wanna spend too much modding up ur car but still want the speed and performance..get DC2R...otherwise DC5R will kill most cars on the streets already stock...but if u wanna do up a DC5R...u'd want to put genuine mod parts in there....otherwise it mite look a bit cheap....but genuine parts are very very expensive...
and er...hard to find a gd condition DC2R to buy...i've tested a few out for some friends..either they are gd condition and expensive...or cheap...but beat down big time....
in conclusion..if i were u..i'd get DC5R hahaha
a choice that you cannot go wrong with. i can put money on that!
Hope above comments would help you mate!I vote for DC5R as well!
just on a short note how quick is a DC5R from 0 to 100kph ive seen a few web pages that say that a DC2R is about 6.5 seconds...
