What Changed In The DC2 between 1996 and the 1998-2001 Models?

[DTN]

If you plan on doing those changes I suggest you get a 98+ model, it'll save you some hassles like sourcing the bumper, painting, etc. I would probably only get a 96 model if its like dirt cheap.

But jaytea is right, if your going to add type r parts to it later you might as well wait and buy a dc2r instead.

I would buy this car in a heart beat if my budget was around 10k

Word of advice.

The prices on some of the VTiR's, quiet unreasonable (5-8k).

Spend the extra now and get the type R (9-14k).

Cleaner you want it the more it will set you back.

As mentioned above, his already spend enough for him to have owned a type R from the start.

I wish I bought a Type R from the start
-lighter car
-better everything(Engine , Exterior , suspension)

Oh well all the modifications I've accumulated and installed over the past years have taught me plenty.

Hey DTN How much would a facelift bumper set me back? is it worth paying the extra for a 1998 model just for the facelift front and rear bumpers. Or would a 96 be fine and then buy the parts

The facelift rear bar will set u back about $200 plus painting costs if not same colour, this bar is quite in demand by prefaced owners so thats why it holds a fairly high price compare to any other part
to have the rear bar suit you may aswell get facelift tail lights too there about $100-150 a pair

I would suggest buying a 1998 to start with as it will save u all these hassles, but if a 96 model comes up cheap may aswell get it

I have done the conversion on my 94 model and also own a 99 model dc2 aswell
its all bolt on so very easy to do yourself, besides the painting bit if ur not a painter
Luckily for me when i got my bar is was already yellow so it was straight bolt on no painting needed however the yellow was slightly different but barely noticeable

Prefaced
