At the end of the day, DC5S is still heavier. Its not the weight of the seats that matters, its the overall weight. And if you're so keen on less weight, then why not just strip the whole car? People will always have their different views on DC5R vs DC5S, but like 45SET stated, DC5S will obviously have improvements (why build a newer model if you're not going to improve it?). Though, at the end of the day, there is probably more S owners who wished they owned an R
The point of the rear intrusion bar is for safety, if we're talking safety. The DC5S may or may not have it but the rear cross member is a lot rigid than the Aus DC5R, not to mention, there is a mid-chassis intrusion bar on the DC5S.
LMAO...Being heavy doesnt sacrifice performance at all you twit. In reality the Aus DC5R only around 30-40kg since its fully optioned
I suggest you go watch Best Motoring int.: Civic Type-R Returns
There you will see a heavier FD2 Type R weighing 80kgs more and only 5hp more beating the updated 06 Integra Type R on track and drag.....hmmm explain to me why is that?...perhaps something to do with handling?, chassis tuning?, gearing ratio?.....oh boy you got a lot to learn
Im trying to compare our own DC5S and DC5R in that sense of way if you understand
Yeah you're right there is probably more S owner who wished they owned a Type R (the real JDM R) but i dont why they would degrade to the Aus Type R.
It is also ironic how the Type R owners in aust wished they owned the real JDM R....rofl
