i suggest selling them both and buy a type r
you will get all the extras with a type r and less hassle and it will cost you the same
sell dc5 22k.. sell engine for 6k(?).. there you go enough money for a type r
i agree. The engine alone would have cost u what 8 grand? it really is best to just sell both and get a type r. yes it is a pain and ull have to wait longer but seriously. the extras you get with the type r, stiffer sussy, recaros, better wheels, and a lighter body to name a couple.Quote:

i think he cant drive manual if im getting it right?
thats why he bought the engine to put into his auto.
mate if i got it right. i think your going to be waisting your time and money!
otherwise give IS motor racing a call if your in sydney
thx for u guys reply, i feel u guys, i ll consider to sell the engine, but not the car, i can drive the manual one, but not really good enough to racing everytime, everywhere.
actually , i contact with isracing many times and indy said same words as u guys
now i got another choice , that is send the original ecu to U.S by buddyclub and let hondata help me to reflash the ECU, finally, can improve 10-15KW. that s what i can do best on semi dc5, i think
what u guys think about that
i think u should learn to drive manual.. and throw out ur box set of fast n furious, then go buy a type r
did you just get the engine or the everything? is it AUDM or JDM?
like everyone has said, get a DC5r. Honda spend a fair bit of time engineering the Type R versions of all there cars.... as they are completely differant to the base models.
If your only concern with getting a DC5r is because your "not really good enough to racing everytime, everywhere."...... LEARN TO DRIVE A MANUAL!
you don't need to "race" everywhere... you can drive like a normal person.
summing up
SELL Base DC5
SELL K20
BUY DC5r
Buy a CW DC2R, do a JDM front end and put the K20a in that.
gg
wow.... some people have no conseption of "money"
Its not having no conception...its called money aint an issue :pQuote:

MOD YOURSELF FIRST!
You bought a Semi-auto integra, Now you want to chuck in a K20a? LOL. My 2 Cent, As everyone said, Just learn to drive Manual & get a Real Type R.
go test drive a dc5r. u will know what we are talking about.
thx u guys prety much! can u guys give me some suggestion of the price if i wanna sellin that type-r engine , i spend around 5000 to buy it ~~
lol you shouldnt tell people how much you bought it for if you wanna sell it....
so its a K20a JDM engine.
no gearbox, ecu etc etc
lol, i was going to do the same thing except i can drive manual and wanted a half cut for my old base DC5 semi-auto. ended up giving that car to my sis and bought a DC5R and i LOVE IT lol
mate... sell it for how much you bought it for... common sense really :)
good luck!
p.s. learn to drive manual and buy a dc5r after selling motor and dc5
coz ur loaded fedi
Lol...
same opinion as other fellows. Sell your auto dc5 and k20 engine. Buy a DC5 Type R. save hassles.
Sell the engine, slap in a turbo or supercharger and call it a day.
Or keep the engine buy a ek and put that engine in.
