last time i checked, similar doesnt mean identical so obviously there are some differences.

A couple of years ago Hondata did not release a version of Kpro specific to the DC5S.
Thus back then only some ECU's from DC5S's were compatible with Kpro. But you still needed the 02-04 harness.
If your ECU from a DC5S was not compatible with Kpro then in addition to the 02-04 harness you would also need a DC5R ECU.

There is no need for your condescending attitude.
Maybe you should check your facts before u start flaming people.
I especially like how you completely ignore the input from chargeR.
I can actually see why the Europeans put a torsion beam in the FN2R (As the FN2R was designed and built in the UK for those playing at home).
Quite a few other European hot hatch's (Renault Clio, Pugeot 206) run torsion beam rear ends... and I know the Renault Clio Sport Cup is considered to be one of the best performing N/A hatch backs in the world.
Tried my mates Clio Sport 172 actually. Not bad little cars. Quite surprised. Pretty sure it was running torsion beams at rear.
But thats beside the point of this thread.
LOL. Guys i dont wanna start trouble or anything but it is really upsetting to know that our DC5R isnt the real JDM R isnt it?....no wonder you guys are eager to dispute each post i wrote.
Anyway i will apologies but think about it. IT AINT THE REAL JDM and like i said get over it. end of story
Take a deep breath, relax and I hope that concludes it. lol
I have driven a JDM DC5R, an AUDM Type S and own an AUDM DC5R. The differences just aren't worth getting worked up over. It is not like comparing an Evo to a DC5R for example where the differences in engineering and the way they drive are like chalk and cheese. The cars are very similar, and if for example one wanted to build a very heavily modified track car it would make not one whit of difference which car you started with.
