I notice TODA AU deleted his DC2 mod recommendation thread. Is there a backup of this or something?

Also - the forum search function isn't very good. It took me about 20 minutes to find the thread...

1. Poor lumbar support on the seats (I'm getting old, long drives make my back ache)
2. Torque steer
6. No LSD, on my VTiR anyway
7. FWD
3. Crappy plastic top tank on the radiator (I have a new...

Charliebrown: 12L/100??! That's HORRIBLE! My VTi-R (1994, 150K) gets 10L/100km or better with quick driving and all suburban. If I do a long trip for half the tank I get about 7.7L/100km.

Also,...

Swoit! Thank you!

Meh, I didn't ask for people's opinions on what I should do to the car. I asked if the Type R cat back fits onto the VTiR extractors without modification. I know what I want to do to my car, I just...

That doesn't even make any sense.

Also, try to stay on topic.

Apparently more sensitive than yours.

Would your girlfriend notice a slight difference in torque delivery? I would.

Type R headers are tuned for a different RPM than VTiR headers. They're also not designed with VVIS in mind.

Naw, I don't have one FOB Squad. If I did I'd just have a look to see if it'd fit! :D I don't wanna buy it if it's not gonna work out.

I don't really want to get ITR headers. I'm trying not to...

Would it mate up to my VTiR extractors without modification though? If it'll fit fine I will do it at home.

That chime gives me such a headache. The light on the dash, plus the fact that we have such good seatbelt awareness in this country is enough. I really don't even need to be reminded to put on my...

AFAIK reverse doesn't have a synchro. It uses a dog gear to engage (which is why it's so easy to crunch reverse).

5th is a low gear ratio, and it's synchro is probably going. At a guess that's...

Oh, I was planning on getting the Type R cat with the exhaust. Does that make life easier / harder?

Try clutching in until the tacho drops to about 2500rpm or lower, then try putting it into 5th. The problem is one half of the gearbox is spinning too fast.

I hate the seatbelt warning chime. Can I just disconnect the cable to stop it chiming when I start the car?

Yeah, it sucks. Perhaps I should look for a wrecked post facelift model and grab the seats. :D

Okay, got it out. Doesn't look like there's any part of the rail locking system that was ever or could easily be connected to the part that rotates the back of the seat.

I'd say for '94 model...

Don't worry about Bludger, he's just having a whinge. There are lots of people that are like the person Bludger describes, who think that VTEC makes a car better than a regular Atmo engine, and is...

That's the way I try to explain it to people who think VTEC is like a turbo. It's not! A 1990 Toyota 4A-GE (1.6 twincam for those who don't know) can be set up to make the same power as a B16A fairly...

Still haven't had a chance to take my chair out and take a look. I might get a moment to do it this weekend. I'll keep you all posted.

I hear that. My DC2 has broken down twice. Both times it was the bloody after market immobiliser's fault!!

EDIT: Oh yeah and once my top tank cracked, but the car was still drivable, even if there...

A lot of the common problems listed have happened to my car. I bought it with a 3 year warranty though. :D

- Thermostat was stuck open (warranty replaced)
- Clutch went (warranty replaced)
-...

It's kinda annoying because this is really only a problem for one of my friends. My girlfriend is small, so usually sits with the seat half forward anyway. This means almost all my other friends can...

All you'd really need is some kind of mechanism on the tilt control so that when the seat got all the way forward, it pulled a lever to detach the locking mechanism on the sliding part of the rail. I...
