I rode of my Type S in october '05 after getting it for 2 weeks. Head on collison with another car both going 60km/hr. I didn't sleep much for few days straight and fell asleep while driving :(
Sold the trashed up car for 5k tho - front full smashed, interior side panels, rims etc r ok.
I luved the car, especially if u go for magnesium grey. Woah! So sexy.
Damn sad to hear Hyde.. only 2 weeks geeeez. U had insurance for it right?

Nice car. who cares if u get beaten by a WRX. remember most WRXs out there are modded and ur car is stock. :)
btw wondering wot are the main diff between the Type R and Type S? i know the specs just wondering if anyone whos driven both of them can give some their impressions of them.
Guys, keep your replies on topic please.

You just have to read that article in Motor when they compared the Type R (both DC2/5) and the Type S.
Not much difference considering the Type S has greater weight and no LSD.
I got insurance but was under influence of alcohol :( had to pay for other guy's camry too (10k). Gonna get my license bak october this yr :D Might wait for the Euro type R civic b4 i buy a car. Too bad the Type S doesnt had LSD or i'd buy it again :)
I wanted a Type S. They are still nice inside compared to other cars. I've seen my fair share of Type S's give people BIG SHOCKS as well. Saw a tricked up one own the hell out of a GTS Monaro from 0 - god knows what speed...they vanished quickly with the type S 3 cars ahead of it. Didn't sound very stock though haha.
I agree...where's the love!!!
lsd definitely makes a diff when accelerating hard out of tight corners or hairpins. on the street this would include accelerating hard out of 90 degree corners or even roundabouts when the inside front tyre lights up. if u havent experienced this on your type-s u prolly havent driven it hard enough =p
most corners on a track are higher speed non hairpin turns hence an lsd prolly wont give u much of a benefit on a stock car unless u had really crappy tyres
having said that, i think if u had good/sticky enough tyres for the amount of power u have, lsd isnt really neccesary =D
Baz: please organise group buy for mugen front lip ;)
Don't forget, the Type R market typically leave there cars stock, which is why they demand it to be better off the shelt. Not trying to cast a stereotype, but both in DC2 and DC5 era's, I know myself personally would still chose a Type S now over the Type R (if it existed) and use the money different to outdo the ITR and improve it in areas which I thought even stock, it didn't do well. Same reason why I got the VTI-R now and chop stock ITR's all day every day down the 1/4 mile and track. That, and I still have money left over from the $10,000 dollar difference between the DC2 and DC2R.
I like nothing more than a highly modified ITR though.
request to post pics of your car!! :DQuote:
