Alot of ppl don't like the DC5 (I have no idea why!?) I had a friend called a family car?! DANG! I guess the DC2 is much lower than the DC5?
DC 5 looks so much better, the rear lights of the DC2 don't look nice at all but the front is nice.

I would agree with everything that BLKCRX said. Right on yo! :D
DC2R is hands down the winner as it is much quoted that the LEV on the DC5R stands for "Low End Vtec"........ enough said. :wink:
In stock form the [acronym:2e6b45ad0a="Australian Domestic Market"]AUDM[/acronym:2e6b45ad0a] DC2.R but if i we are talking [acronym:2e6b45ad0a="Japanese Domestic Market"]JDM[/acronym:2e6b45ad0a] then definelty the DC5.R.....I much prefer the Recaros in the DC5 also.
did someone just say that the LEV sands for "low end vtec"? :shock:
it even says "low emissions vehicle" on the damn car! take a closer look next time mate :lol:
... and about the dc5 vs. dc2.....
there's a '01 ITR in adelaide at Nordic Honda for sale... its a DC2R with 300km's on the clock...
its $40,000....
so tell me, this is one of the only DC2R's in australia that hasnt been totally thrashed
vs.
a brand new DC5R (i think i got one of the last ones :D ) with a 3 year warenty for a few thousand more?
BUT... if you could buy the DC2R's brand new, i think i would be the proud owner of one of them, rather than my DC5R
He was kidding....notice the :wink: at the end of his post?Quote:

grab urselves a copy of the BMI Vol. 2
off the top of my head,
The DC2R wasnt developed frm scratch. It was rather refined from the Integra SiR. Whereas the DC5R was basically developed from scratch.
Motoharu "GanSan" Kurosawa interviewed the designer (i think that's his title) of the DC5R and he reckons that in a way, the DC5R is the real Type R as it was developed pretty much from scratch. {You bois decide}
The overall dimensions between the two are not far off under the microscope.
The heavier DC5R is made up with a larger sized engine. {Unfortunately they did not do a 1/4 mile comparing the two, so can't prove this point}
Gan San then proceded to take the DC5R on the Honda test track and (again, off the top of my head) he reckons the DC5R has an improved overall balance and stiffer chasis, however, the suspension was a little soft for an R, better brakes and is fast.
Note
I'm not saying that BMI vids are the bible, but look at it rather as a reference guide.
Both DC2R and DC5R mentioned in this post are JDM, so for the comment of the "fast" and "better brakes", can be irrelevant for AUDM DCs.
amen brother....
BMI vids are the shiznit
but then again, i've heard an argument (from SPOON CEO i think)where the DC5 chasis is based on the stream chasis which is a station wagon or something ??
how much is it for the hondata on a DC5R????
