How's the recaros in the DC5r compared to the DC2r? The ones I sat in were the DC5r. They were more comfortable than the Euro's! I think it's because of the shape of my body. I'm tall with narrow shoulders, so I actually fitted so snugly that I bet I could sleep in them! At first when I sat in the Euro, I found the seats to be ok. Better than the Holden Astra (I drive this quite often), but somehow didn't fit my body dimensions. Now after owning the Euro for 5 months, I'm comfortable in the Euro seats. But I clearly remember the first time I sat in both cars, the DC5r's recaros made me just want to stay there and rest (at the sydney motorshow)

Im pretty the dc2 and dc5 r share he same seats except colour and recaro label updates, im a simlar build to you with wide shoulders explains the pain, but to be honest subie make better seats, the type S seats are much better now not as full bucket as recaros and leather which is a bonus

Ahhh.. then I think it is the shoulders as you have to bend then forward while I don't need to to fit into the recaros...

Hmm, I rode in my friend's subie, MY99 (non-STI). It felt flat.... Hmm... didn't think of it as anything special. Did they change it on the new ones?

I haven't gotten a chance to sit in the new Type S, only the 2005 regular integra. Also not impressed. Anyone care to give me a ride in a moving Type R or S? Hehe

I haven't had the REAL vtec experience yet!

one sec is not much difference interms of 0-100. Well it is but in my opinion. The euro has more torque then the type s so that effect some acceleration ion higher gears.

(i ahve no clue what im talking about lol

I would have imagine Type R or Type S is lighter than Euro...

anyone knows at what speed the rear differential stops powering the rear and CRV backt to a FWD?
is it possible to rip the "real-time" rear differential and put it in a EK, EG to help front wheel spin during launch?

the 2004 model CRV is a great car I am driving that and a civi. Nice handing and performance for a 4wd!

I don't believe its limited by speed. The rears will lose power as soon as the fronts stop slipping.
