DC5R: Jap vs Aus spec

[eveo]

hey fellas, im a newbie but was hoping someone could give a complete listening of differences between the two specs.
I've looked through the Integra category but don't think I've found such topic being covered.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if you can edit post or not since I can't find a button if they existed but I would also like to ask for the differences between the aus Type R and the american RSX.

Thanks

Im dont know of all of the differences but they are, JAP Spec have Brembo brakes, red engine cover, different rims, headers are different. Thats all I know and also that they are 220HP at the crank I quite sure. They have bit more power.

[dc2r]

About 20kw more on the jdm.

[UR2L8]

Yeah about that, I knew it has 20something and went for the HP I was wrong.

You'll find quite a bit of info on the DC5R in this thread. There is a comparison to the RSX too.

cool thanks for the replies fellow honderers

jdm dc5r has hollow aluminium front control arms to allow for different offset for the brembo caipers
their offset is +60

think they have different gear ratios compared to aus dc5r

Different rims, and power difference, that's all I know for sure.

is it hard to put aus spec up to jap spec powers ?

it's so sad that we're rorted with a aus spec different from jap spec (this applies for many models).

[A'PEXi]

it may be because of different emisson rules? i could be wrong :P
