I bought two cables. Kenwood to ISO connector. Then an ISO to Honda connector. With these cables it only took just over an hour to install the new head unit.
Great improvement over the stock...
I've got an AUDM DC5 type R 2002. Still has the original Honda Head Unit (I don't have the CD stacker...just the blank storage pocket with a flip down lid under the head unit).
Good idea. I adjusted it a bit further Friday arvo. It's all good again. Shifting smoothly into 2nd :)
I've still left 10mm play before the plunger goes hard inside the master cyclinder.
This way...
An update to this. The smoother shifting faded away over the course of couple of weeks, and it's crunching when it's cold again.
I'm back to shifting 1-N-2. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.
I haven't come across too many. There's one (JDM Type R) for sale at the moment in carsales.com.au
Apparently imported to NZ, then AU by the current owner
The link is broken. Just realised this thread is like 9 years old. Still a good topic though.
The JDM version is almost the best. But I laugh at the 180km/hr speedo max, and I have read that the car...
I thought the Penrite 70W oil was designed for tappet and pushrod 1970s V8s
Didn't know they made a 15W70. If I had a 351 Ford XC Cobra V8, that's the oil I'd be running !
You have a good point. Engine condition and wear should definitely be taken into account when you select an oil.
And allot of people go thicker as engines get more miles on them.
Live in Brissy. Drive an AUSDM DC5 Integra Type R. Bought it new in 03.
ODO will crack 100K this week.
She's mostly still original
Hondata Airbox Mod. High...
I'm going to pick up a couple of bottles of the Amsoil this week and try it myself too. There's a shop on the Gold Coast that sells it over the counter $17.70 a quart.
Since most engine wear occurs when the engine is cold (first minutes after starting) I use a 5W oil.
At the moment I'm running Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40. But the 5W-30 would probably be a tad better...
I bought my AUSDM Type R (new) in 2003. Since the very first day there has been an issue shifting into 2nd gear. Mainly when shifting from 1st to 2nd. Worst when the car was cold.
I complained to...
