dc2 r modifications help

[DC2typr]

hi guys,

I am a long time member, but I don't post very much.

I currently drive a modified nissan s13 silvia (don't flame me just yet), and have done so since 2004, it's been a long standing relationship that i'm about to part with. (see pic below)

during that time, a family member has owned a bone standard dc2 type r, it's a two owner car that was bought with 15,000kms and now has 104kms...
I have been sharing the driving of the honda in standard form for many years, and i do enjoy it.

i am going to part with my silvia in the coming months and once my silvia is gone I will take ownership of the dc2, I am now thinking i would like to add some modifications.

just to spice it up a little, without compromising comfort/reliablilty too much.

I have found a dc2 online that i love the look of, and i plan to model my integra very closely on this car: (see pics attached)



what i want to know is some information, and rough prices on the parts that i will be selecting.


can anyone comment on the following parts:

H&R springs
16" JDM ITR Wheels
2.5" 5Zigen Header
Spoon Midpipe
Spoon Street Type Muffler
T1R decat

also, i'd like to know peoples thoughts on aftermarket panel filters in the stock dc2 airbox...

i'd like to know what i could expect the car to feel like once it's riding on the 16 inch wheels and the h&r lowered springs, i love the way the car handles in standard form, and to be honest i don't want a crashy stiff shitty ride, i'm only looking to do the springs and wheels to improve the stance/look of the car.

as for the exhaust, could someone tell me what noise level i would expect from a setup like the one above?

and whether i could keep the aircon with those headers?

lastly, does anyone know what brand the weather strips are on the white dc2 i have posted pictures of?

sorry the pictures aren't in any order, but you should be able to decipher the two cars there.. and yes, my silvia is championship white!

all feedback would be great, i'm looking to build a reliable daily car with a bit of attitude, i will be looking to go to the HH hillclimb, and a few wrx club deca motorkhana days.


thanks,

Are you gonna own your family members DC2R or just completely different DC2 ?

[DC2typr]

sorry, i didn't make that clear.

i will take ownership of my family members dc2r.

i'm mainly interested in the wheels/springs combo.

and what effect that will have on the standard ride/handling, but am keen to hear others opinions on the other mods mentioned.
thanks,

If its just for street use king springs does the job it's good for daily driving. Your family members DC2R should look exactly like that one in the photo (besides exhaust). If you don't have those wheels it can be sourced on here for around $300-$500

[dc2r-0636]
