I've only got Cold Air Intake on my car, and it ran 126kW atw

Can't wait to do the rest of the mods (Headers, Zorst, Hondata).. Hoping for 150-160kW atw after that..

Hub Dyno?

Cool, but u have to remember different dynos different numbers.. u can't compare X's car 120kw with Y's car's 140kw if done on different dynos. I have seen DC5r's back to back with S and there is only a couple of Kw ATW in it..

without proper ECU tuning and basic head work.....hard to go over 150kw bro

**EL_DC5** · 22-01-2008 01:15 PM

yeah i get 128 - 131 across different dynos.

Does everyone like the tailights of the R or the tailights of the S? It's so hard to decide. The 2 semi circles at the bottom of your tailights and headlights look wicked in a type R but the type S somehow does have a sleek and awesome feel to it.

As for the spoiler, i have a ridiculous question!
Was playing need for speed: Pro Street. Anyone who's tried that game knows about the aerodynamic factor of the spoiler in the game...Like the type R would give you less downforce but a higher top speed...true?

and a spoiler like the type S would get you more downforce and less topspeed...true?

The wind dyno seemed a bit ridiculous in the game...and not to mention how ugly all the bodykits for the RSX were...

Thanks for all the replies on dynos! very interesting

remember the Facelift model is the New version
the round AUDC5R lights where superseded with the type S ones.
SO in Japan the latest model of the DC5 is Facelift model.

Both cars are pointed at different markets. DC5R are aimed at the younger crowd where the DC5S is aimed at the not so boy racer.

Have a good look at both and it is obvious that the R is the sportier of the two, without getting into a shitfight about what the 'R' means.

Type S is more conservative in styling. Almost grandpa IMO. The rounded head, tail lights, coloured recaros and the wing is why you buy a teg.

M2CW!

yeah a wing and Recaro's are what makes an "R" ... lol

Dude, like I said, Im not here to bitch and whine about what makes what an 'R'. What I meant was that for the younger people, which is what most of the buyers of DC5R's are, the styling, wing and Recaros is what makes it appealing.

Theres a difference scarcasm and a smart arse.
