modding my dc2r. Your opinion

the b18 lsd & the final drive (physical size) is bigger than b16a
so b16 lsd & final drive and shaft wont' fit in b18 and vice versa

What do you mean?? B16A don't have LSD. B16B and B18C7 are using the same LSD. Andthen, the final drive of B18C5 and B16B are the same. I don't know what "size" you mean.

size as in physical size ie diameter, not 4.4 or 4.9 (no of teeth)
b16a have lsd from aftermarket co like kazz/cusco/ etc
b18c5 and b16b share 4.4
audm b18c7 have 4.785

yeah not the size of the teeth, its the size of the final drive to fit on to the lsd. my ek4 final drive is too small to fit on dc2r or ek9 lsd.

dc2,ek9 and dc2r are all same sized

coz i fitted everything at once = ATS4.929 Final drive Excedy clutch and spoon flywheel. to save up labour.

the first thing i notice is the car accerate a lot a lot a lot more quicker than stock, and i also drop speed really quick.

when i first have it on, i didn't get used to it on freeway, i was driving 100, when i release the accerater it suddenly dropped to 80 something. and i thought i am still on 90 something..i just get used to the way i drive b4. i think that caused by the flywheel.

i recommend you should get Final drive 4.929 or ATS 3rd, 4th and 5th close ratio gear, LSD, Clutch and flywheel.

You won't regret.
at lease you won't have tuning problem !

I have ordered a exedy clutch and spoon fly but still thinking about lower final drive. The question is, is it a everyday car? i dont want to constantly changing gears.

what final dirve are u getting?

of course it is a everyday car, Constantly change gear?? A fast car always revs really quick, so you dun wanna have a quick car? y are you getting clutch and flywheel for?

the rev goes a little bit faster, a lot more torque increased. I found no regret fitting the final drive. I dun have any hassels on changing gear a lot. You can find out in someother usa fourm. everyone is happy with the ATS final drive.

The final drive is designed for everyday car , coz it makes a lot more torque. and also getting out of corner.

I can still go up to 170km with my 4th gear. i never try 5th.. coz i dun need to drive that quick.

I'm sorry but a FD does not increase or decrease torque so I have no idea where you guys get this information from.

i was wondering on average how much all this will cost.......flywheel, clutch and final drive? thanks :)

fly 600+
clutch 400+
final drive ats 1000+
labour another 500 or so

According to Honda, as i installed it at honda, and the foreman told me i have gain a lot of torque. hmm.. should i say gain a lot more feeling?

hmm... my feeling is e.g at 5000rpm i feel say 10 "something" when i have my 4.4 final drive, now i feel the same 10 "something" at 4000rpm and 5000rpm have "something" from 5500 or 6000 when i got 4.4. . So it is very good for street i reckon. correct me if i am wrong.. just the feeling tho not theory.
