Integra Type R DC5

[DC5.Raven]

Get the DC5 05-06 Type S, the K20Z1 engine spec is a lot closer to the JDM-spec Type R K20A such as the Camshafts, crankshafts, throttle body size, exhaust manifold diameter..etc. plus more tweaks on the suspension geometry, quicker Steering response, overall body rigidity, gearing ratio....

The Aust 1st generation DC5 "Type R" K20A2 is a watered-down version thats only suitable for Australian RON type fuel. The Type S has a lot more tuning potential, based on the JDM model and further refined for the Australian RON fuel

Here you have claimed that there is alot more tuning potential than the AUDM DC5R.
How does it have more tuning potential when most of them are not compatible with Kpro on their own.
As opposed to DC5Rs, in which ALL are compatible with Kpro.
They both have almost identical tuning potential.
If you wanted to get technical then the DC5S does has less tuning potential due to the ECU's compatibility with Kpro.

The 1170kgs figure is the Japanese figure meaning having no A/C, no Audio....etc....the actual figure is closer than you think to the Type-S

Theres not a lot of difference in weight. The handling characteristic of the DC5S has improved over the DC5R...the susspension geometry, steering response, braking feel, chassis re-inforcement so that negates the thought of being a lesser car against the Aus DC5R on the track. The gearing ratio is also longer on the DC5S

LMAO @ redbook dont do justice in weighing of the car.....
its like me posting this: http://www.carbuddy.com.au/car/resea...7&tid=12466166 <-----1160kgs DC5S which is bs.

Weigh the Recaro seats and the Type-S seats and see for yourself

DC5S Less tuning potential??....You even said it so get an 02-04 Harness to answer your question..simple LOL

You are one of these people who enforce that car x is better than car y. (In your case DC5S > DC5R)
Both have advantages and disadvatages in their own right and people are entitled to their own opinion.
There is no absolute on which car is better.
