I think the k20 isn't as torquey as the b18 when not engaged in vtec tho but I think that's due to the fuel economy achieved from the car.
All in all, it's an excellet package of a car. Initial turn in on the dc2r seems to be alot sharper when entering at 100kms or more around a 90 degree corner but both cars have no problem keeping the line.
I can't really comment on much more, haven't gone to natio and op that much in my car yet. In the process of making a cage for it.
Just a question, has anyone taken their dash of yet?
Havent removed the dash, though there isnt much left inside mine lol..Quote:

Might start a build thread. Lol
good idea. sound like a nice little project.Quote:

After the Shift Performance track day, I will be doing some wire tucking and a few other things inside the car.
Looking good man. Does it have carpet in it? Are you running a/c and all that?
Yeah front carpet is still in the car, AC/PS are still both in the car..Quote:

I find the ep3 has heaps more torque and power... but dc2r puts it to the ground much better. the handling on the ep3r is less direct in feel and looser due to the steering. the seats i actually find as a plus as i have to wear a suit during the week its a pain sitting in the dc2r seats and creasing everything! also the bolsters don't get as fked! but sure if you're hard core the dc2r seats def better for holding ur bum in place.Quote:

other comparos, the engineering in the ep3 is way diff, everything just feels so much newer even though in years the ep3 is only 1-2 years newer than the dc2r in terms of interior design, how shit fits, the look of the engine bay etc. but thats all subjective.
for those saying that they can't find a dc2r in good condition, i think there are still plenty with good engines, and good chassis... and stuff is cheaper to replace on the integras.
anyone here with a cw and cf bonnet?
yeh ive got the buddy club 1 i love the lookQuote:

who was on hume highway (lansvale- in front of shift performance place) early today? had dark tints at front too....couldnt see nothing.
and i must ask
Who own EP.3XXX?? saw him on Friday morning up north?
lol
Whats up fellas, had a JDM CTR for the last year...nice to know there are so many real drivers left in the world. N/A all the way! Want to ask a quick question...I have a '02 JDM CTR with custom exhaust manifold and custom built cat, Mugen Twin Loop exhaust system and a Mugen CAI. Also have DBA slotted rotors all round, Project Mu Street pads, braided Teflon coated brake lines and BuddyClub adjustable suspension, with a set of 80%Pirelli P Zeros...ok now that you are all filled in and on the same page, lets get down to the matter at hand. Having a convo the other day with a mate of mine and he reckons a Stock Mk5 Golf R32 (DSG) would beat my car 0 - 100, quatermile and he went as far as to say around the track...please tell me that isn't the true, at least not around the track? Let me know what you boys reckon, maybe hit me back with some of your specs, some quatermiles, 0 - 100s, anything really just wanna know i am not going to humiliate myself the next time we head to the track together. I have faith in my car and i would take my CTR over his 'FAT' Volkswagen any day. BTW if anyone is interested, may be hitting up Wakefield in the next couple of weeks. Thanks, Cheers
what?Quote:

well just from looking at the r32's specs
v6 3.2L
184kw@6300
320nm@2500-3000
but it weighs much more than the ep3 1510-1530kg compared to ep3 1210kg
i say ep3 would hand it down.......then again its not stock vs stock so your mate can use that against you if he loses (most likely he will lose lol)
but then again if it was stock vs stock its not fair comparing a 3.2l 6cyl and a 2.0L 4cyl engine......but i reckon a stock ep3 will still have good chance in being quicker around the track
have faith in the CTR brother.
100% faith bro...just wanted someone else's opinion. How much power do your reckon the exhaust system can give? Also what sort of time do you think my car would be pulling 0 - 100 km/h, haven't timed it yet, what does your do if you don't mind me asking....
i think standing start, R32 with DSG would be faster than our car.
around the track, it'll depends on what track but i'd dare say at a dry Wakey, EP3 should be faster over a lap.
If it helps for comparison's sake, I've been up against a MK VI R32 on both the track (Wakefield) and on the strips (Eastern Creek).
EP3: Stock as a rock
R32: Had a CAI mod
On the drag strips, I am able to take off faster than the R32 and stay in the lead for a while. Once we both hit 3rd gear, the R32 surges ahead to win the race - I believe torque on the R32 pulled it ahead while my lack of top end power caused me to fall behind.
On the track, the EP3 ended up being faster as I am able to exit corners a lot faster than the R32 due to reduced weight and the Type R handling. The R32 was a more heavier car and did catch up to me on the straights but around the bends the EP3 was a lot more agile.
However it all comes down to driver skills - my notes are in no way a solid indication that one car is better than the other - I am just merely laying down the facts of what happened when I went up against an R32 so that you can make up your own judgement.
What is going on syd peeps. Havnt been on for a while. Just read the thread an caught up on what the gaps have been lately
which max brenner??Quote:

I am in need of recommendations of location as i just got qouted $800 for Labour only.
i need to do it kinda asap as i have put it off for so long now. really need to get it done this week
you'd be looking at 100 an hour minimum 5 hour job...
800 is a bit on the steep side though...
Where did you get your quote from?
hanny's performance
I got my quote from there too coz they have to dropped our sub frame to change the clutch.Quote:
