Hrmmm.... Hard to say really. You do notice the difference in power tho.
Each car has it's pro's and cons but I can say I'm not disappointed with my choice. The only thing I don't really like about the ep3 is the seats it comes with. There's not much support there compared to the dc5 seats.
I think the k20 isn't as torquey as the b18 when not engaged in vtec tho but I think that's due to the fuel economy achieved from the car.
All in all, it's an excellet package of a car. Initial turn in on the dc2r seems to be alot sharper when entering at 100kms or more around a 90 degree corner but both cars have no problem keeping the line.
I can't really comment on much more, haven't gone to natio and op that much in my car yet. In the process of making a cage for it.
Just a question, has anyone taken their dash of yet?
Havent removed the dash, though there isnt much left inside mine lol..
29/3/10 Wakefield Park - 1.13.945 - EP3 - I / H / E
Haha, nice. I've got most of the sound dedening out. There wasn't much in there tho, there's like a thick foam behind the dash I want to remove and also the heater box and all the a/c lines. I also Want to remove my head unit and use that double din space to mould some defi's in there.

I find the ep3 has heaps more torque and power... but dc2r puts it to the ground much better. the handling on the ep3r is less direct in feel and looser due to the steering. the seats i actually find as a plus as i have to wear a suit during the week its a pain sitting in the dc2r seats and creasing everything! also the bolsters don't get as fked! but sure if you're hard core the dc2r seats def better for holding ur bum in place.
the power delivery is alot smoother in the k20 with no "kick" when the vtec hits (yo).
other comparos, the engineering in the ep3 is way diff, everything just feels so much newer even though in years the ep3 is only 1-2 years newer than the dc2r in terms of interior design, how shit fits, the look of the engine bay etc. but thats all subjective.
for those saying that they can't find a dc2r in good condition, i think there are still plenty with good engines, and good chassis... and stuff is cheaper to replace on the integras.
