Hey guys i have a 2000 model type r and so far i have done a long stem 3 inch cold air intake, 4-1 headers, 2.5 inch high flow cat and 2.5inch exhaust with straight through mufflers. Im wanting to get abit more power out of it and im wondering which is the best way to go without spending big bucks and pulling the engine apart???
Also as you guys know the standard rims/tyres on these are 195/55/15. Im thinking of putting a set of 18s with 215/35/18 will this slow the car down at all???
imo 17 is the max for dc2 and 16 is the best. and u can strip ur interior to make ur car go faster without spending money =D
or maybe a tune??
lol yeah strip the interior will fix it.
you could get a tune and new computer.
or you could do internals first and then do tune. but thats expensive
or go for better brake setup, slotted disc, suspension , struts, better pads? and wait till you afford a tune
the man wants power. not handling or braking lolQuote:

but seriously, I'd go handling + braking, since you've got most of the basic bolt-on power bits. Quality brakepads, fluids, tires and coilovers/spring + shocks setup.
Okay so the next step to make some easy power would be a computer by the sounds of things? Which is the best one to go for there are so many hondata s300, power fc and many more i never even heard of. Whats your opinion?? Also how bout with the tyres would the 215/35/18 affect my cars power at all???
18" rims will be heavy = GREATER rotational mass; unless they are some sort of expensive lightwight Jap rims. eg. ce28, rpf1 etc.
But still, 18's on an dc2r?! :eek:
Yeah 18's will look shit. Get some dc5r jdm 17s if you want size, they look awesome on dc2r. But i personally love my stock wheels!! And my car is semi slapped atm (sitting 1cm under the guards) looks sweeeeeet lol
dont go bigger then 16"
will look like a piece of shit with 18" + slower
s300+tune
depends how much you have to spend but you might want to even consider cams.
turbo kit, say no more, N/a is for the purist... enuff said
Try to avoid putting 18s on as it'll just make your car slower and defeats the purpose of wanting more power....
s300 + tune will get a few kws out of it man
I think one member on the forum is selling one, Djbinh
or even hondata s200...
