About to buy DC5R and wondering...

[Ray_mon]

there is no difference between the 02-03 and 04

i say drive both, and see which gearbox doens't grind 2nd gear as much.

do the TypeR's have the same grinding issue as the TypeS?

[Tofu]

your TypeS grinds 2nd gear?
My friend's TypeS grinds 2nd gear, where as my 3rd gear pops out sometimes and hard to get into

[Ray_mon]

sorry to hijack topic =p

my 2nd gear pops out, hard to get into and grinds. My third gear is fine. That's why i never quickshift from 1st->2nd.

Are there differences in the 2001 early DC5R?

there is no difference with all of the DC5 TypeR models sold in australia

I've owned 2 dc2r's and from my experience, newer, less km's and good condition make so much difference in enjoyment of ownership.

My 1st one had many km's and wasn't treated nice.

My second one is very low km's and mint condition so the difference between the 2 of them is astronomical.

please do go for as best condition, newest and least km's as possible.

Hmmm DC5R, for that money you'll be better of with EP3, you get more power plus all the other little things (rims, suspension ect) and you could get one with pretty low kms.
I drove stock DC5R and just got my stock EP3, EP3 is much better car.

I'm sure there's a lot of better cars at that price range etc. I'm going for the DC5R, primarily for it's looks. And that it is relatively powerful, light, low on fuel consumption. and that it has vtec otherwise i'd just get a supra.
