Confused DC5S owners: Done the research on mods for you ..

[Nepolian]

LOL! love the type s vs type r battles.....who will win??

OP please post dyno when you can

[Zinyo]

ur the one arguing. im done. my life doesnt revolve around forums...

no hard feelings markis...dont get put off...type s is a nice car regardless wat anyone said man

[WATAJK]

as far as i see.
dc5R - recaros, crashy ride, poor bracing and rigidity, noisier, lighter by a slight margin. add a/c and the car is nearly 1250kg... oh and a helical lsd.
dc5S - better comfier seats, leather, sunroof, more bracing (honda quotes 21% torsional rigidity front and 25% rear.) more deadening, thicker sway bars, more power, more torque, more linear.

DC5R - boyracer image.
DC5S - Gentle refined touring car.

having driven both. i find the DC5S quicker, heavier, more comfortable, but lacks an lsd.

also the finish and feel of the DC5S is far superior to the DC5R

Yeah and in all that i believe that the R was actually intended to be Track'd considering 74% of Honda Sales of the Type R went on the track not on Road. The Type R was only removed with a refined image as Honda wanted there Integras on the road, not on the track. You watch in 20 years time, which car do you believe people will be wanting more? The refined S or the R?
I think that says enough.

The R doesn't have sound deadening for that reason, if you wanted a Race car or a car that felt like it, the R was always the better option. I reckon the Recaro's are ****in comfy and im the 3rd Owner to my R.

R over S anyday.

Thats my 2cents but each to there own.

yeah the S means supercar and R mean rubbish, everyone should drive a type s

[markis]

but your guys forget that an integra is a terrible track car. there are far better things out there than a FF 1200kg car. eg. evo, lotus.

so take our vtec induced egos out of the equation. if you own a type R you will naturally say R, same with the S. perhaps build a bridge?

agree with the 2nd sentence but since i havent tracked my car yet i have no right to say for the first sentence...perhaps the older boys that track their cars regularly can reply to your first sentence...LOL...

You really seem to know it all...I'll stop @ this; how much is a Lotus and how much is an evo (2002+)?

[burak213]

relax boys, no need to get offtopic.


Lucas, whats the plans for your car? track or the strip?

my 2001 evo VII was 28k. there is no 2002 evo apart from GTA but thats auto and pathetic. 04 was the next VIII

you can pick up a pre my00 elise for under 30k. hope that answers your question

wouldnt bother with evo 7...either 8 or 9 and they're well over 30k? What "track weapon" lotus under 30k are you talking about? the Elan? Super Seven? The Elise is nice but well over 30k?

why wouldnt you bother with a CT9A? i just sold my evo 7 for 28k how are they over 30k. my mate got her IX for 35k and my mate got a 8 for 25k. but then again going of generic car sites like carsales nets acurate results everytime.

firesport is your friend. youll find track ready cars on there. including lotus you can get a 01 boxster 2.7 for under 25k too. just as macho as a honda but arguably quicker

This is gettin way out of hand.. lol

As i said i'd prefer 8 or 9 personally (7 is nice but i just like the look of the 8/9better) and then again props to ur friend for finding/paying 25k for an 8 Your second paragraph doesnt really prove anything tho, firesport nets accurate results? Its just more convenient since its free...back on topic enough rant from the both of us
