DC2 or DC5

[gozza_rockz]

DC2 is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO out dated

[Jim80y]

Also, the DC2s are always used and abused by owners because they think that they are way faster then the DC5. Seriously, Iv driven them both and on the road the DC5 totally out performs the DC2.

If your not gonna race on the track dont bother with the DC2. Newer is way better man.

ROFLMAO newb.



Ask people who have owned both the DC5R and DC2R. Nearly every opinion I have read from people that have owned both is that DC2R>DC5R. IMO after driving both DC5R is a better (a lot better) road car, DC2R is the better driver's car. DC5R and DC2R same drivers similar mods blah blah blah DC5R is faster, and so it should be. But driving a DC5R doesn't give me that warm fuzzy feeling inside a DC2R does

Another dcr v dc5r post
Newer is always better - then go the type s babie!

Driven both dc2 and 5

Love:
dc5 - 6 speed, newer mango shape, 2 litre smootho engine, interior, space
dc2- rawness, gear box, stares, cornering, old shape but still sexy (MILF?)

You like small cars - dc2, big(ger) cars, dc5
You can't justify how good a car looks to everyone, its personal opinion (for eg. who likes angelina jolie? jk)

Loathes:
dc5: Too tall, steering is a bitch
dc2: noise, vibrations, noise and vibrations

Dude, both are very good cars, Angelina Jolie v Pamela Anderson, both very good lookin' but for different reasons....ehehe
Not all dc2 have been thrashed, believe me, generalisation without facts can't be taken that seriously

test drive em and pick one and join the R club

hehe.. i think both DC2 and DC5 are great car, however i guess why there are so many reply is bcos different ppl got different expectations. Frankly i think the DC2 are still lookin very sporty and the perfomance is of cos needless to mention. japs call it the "fastest FWD"
however the DC5 may offer the little more interms of after purchase stuff, like a member said the insurance, warranty etc.
now plz allow me to add one opinion, our DC5 may not as good as the jap DC5, but can some body tell me how much is that "bit"? ok, i really have done some home work to compare the difference, is that we didnt get their breaks and a slighly less "powerful" engine. but i really dont know how much is the difference. (i think it was abt 12kw) a fren of mine is a lot already. and yes i believe him, but is that 12 kw gona change my decision abt buying the AUS DC5? it hasnt, but i always want some 1 who had driven the JAP DC5 and our DC5 then state the "difference"
therefore i would say it quietly but surely, our AUS DC5 is also a true sports car. for other members who wana know more abt "done up" the DC5 or DC2, mayb is a good idea to buy of those jap mag to see wot parts they use to increase the performance. for instance, if we can have what ever they put into their cars in the end, then i wouldnt b expect there r gona b much difference between them at all.
also, talking abt the "soft" conversion of Honda AUS did to our DC5, if any member here would like to find out more about this problem, apparently many japs car makers are doing the same to their AUS model too. just go to it's jap web site then compare it with our ones. I dont know is up to the car maker or our government or petrol supply.
finally for the member who started this thread, man they both are named" the fastest FWD" in jap and world known for it's performance. you gotta test it urself and listen to ur heart bro! good luck.

i could'nt agree anymore about the 12kw difference. But we have to face the facts that our petrol is only around 98' octane, compared to the 110' average in japan, so basically, if our fual was at that level, we'd haveno probs keeping up with the jap specs with a little engine tuning. anyways, i my self also have a DC5-R, the interior/exterior makes up with the diff in power from the dc2-R

Yeh I agree with you. The DC5 is like a dc2+benz. I have both a 03 DC5R and 01 DC2R both fully stock, The DC2R just pulls like a horse compared to the sluggish DC5R.

Although there was an upgrade to the 01 DC2R's intake cam, I've driven a stock 99 ITR and I have to say the 99-00 ITR isn't that much difference in acceleration to the DC5R.

It's a pity that our DC5Rs have been stripped from its true JDM form
-LSD
-Brembos
-11.5CR
-cams
-suspension
-tranny

i dont know why Honda AU is so stingy to bring in a cheaper DC5. Really pisses me off because I believe ALL type R owners wouldn't mind paying more for the real thing.

If you compare the JDM DC5R to the JDM DC2R, the JDM DC5R wins.

Overall when you sit in a DC2R it feels like a real 'Race Car'

Theres actually a huge difference.

Type Rs always have each and every part fitted and tuned to work together to create the correct combination. Theres a video of the Japan racers that analysed the DC2R when it came out and said that further reducing the weight of the car would affect the balance because each corner weight was fully balanced with the suspension settings etc and that it would require a rebalance with adjustable coilovers on a machine. Any little change would have to be retuned to work at optimal just like mods to our exhuast, engine etc.

So since our DC5Rs are missing stuff like;
-LSD
-Firmer and lower suspension
-Brembo Brakes w larger rotors
-11.5CR
-cams
-220bhp
-tranny

It becomes a totally different car. Our DC5R sussy is apparently the same as the Type S version in Japan. And Type S in Japan means a non-type R. Pisses me off each time I think about it.

dude, AUDM DC5R has the same tranny and LSD as JDM DC5R

[neut]

oh and i forgot to mention that i like the rawer sounding engine which to me gives it the feel of a race car, not that a dc5r doesn't sound raw, but not as much. also, dc2r is limited edition while dc5r is more 'commercialised'...

Totally Agree with you dc2r, Myself i had a choice between a DC2R or a DC5R the only reason why i picked the dc2r is because it felt as if ur always driving with raw power, in my opinion the dc2r is when Integra's were at its prime and still is!
I know this is alil off topic but same goes for Mitsubishi Evolution, instead of getting evo 9/10 i would rather go for 6! 6 was when the evo was at its prime power and passion! Evo's onwards packed to much technology! MORE AID not enuff RAWNESS!

DC2R is the real type R. sounds like it, goes like it, feels like it

My dad wanted me to get a DC5R, and was willing to spend more money on one (I got a loan from him). Anyways... I test drove plenty of both of them.

Firstly, if you are a small person... the DC5R isn't for you. I can barely see over the steering wheel, and I look gay in one, and I slide in the seats. The head of Spoon said it's a secutaries car. Now I know why. Nah, really... i drove the DC5R, and it didn't excite me. I would say the FD Civic has a better chassis, and the Euro is a nicer more exciting drive when on the limits. The STOCK K20A didn't excite me at all. Modded is a different story, so I've heard.

The DC2R, is just a pure drivers car... and TBH, if you're buying a FWD firstly, make sure you get a taily one. the DC2R is awsome like that. The back slides around, and awwww, it feels great.
The B18C, is raw, exciting, and slightly higher red line means the world of difference. I love the interior more so than the DC5R. And also the lightness of the DC2 can be felt. I find the DC5 similar to a supra... a boat.

I've always grown up wanting a DC2R, so I could be biased. Who would want a watered down Type R anyways. If you buying an R, at least buy the real thing (Even though the AUDM DC2R isn't "real", it's closer to the real thing that the DC5R).

Just my 2C.

dc5r has k20 so much more potential compared to outdated b series that wat i think neways. saving for my dc5R =D
