[nam.qhc]

hi guys, im currently driving an ej8. but its time to upgrade to DOHC VTEC =D out of the 3; dc2r, dc5r or ep3r. what would you choose and why? thankyou in advance.

[kcokla]

go for an ep3,
i think most people will tell you to go for that,
its the rarest between the three, newer/generally speaking, and better in engine specs and so on on the other 2!

you have asked the most stupid noobest question out. but i guess thats why your in this section of ozhonda.


1.do you like coupes or hatchbacks
2.do you prefer MURPPPPPPPPP(k series) or mmmmBAHHHHHHHH!!!!(b series)
3.do you like the older original race look of a dc2r or the luxury sports of a dc5r/ep3
4.do you live in a very busy area?*parking easier for ep3*
5.what are you looking at spending? are u looking to mod the shit out of the car or just keep it standard with a bit of extras?(ep3,dc5r with the k20 are alot more easily to gain power over a b18c)
6.all 3 have different interior. you should go for a test drive in each(depending who the hell would even let you drive their type r) and see which one suits you best.

you dont know what you want till you drive it. so just go drive one and make up your own mind and not let us make it up for you.

Get a DC2R. The chassis and B-series has a real soul and cult-like appreciation that I don't think is as prominent in other Hondas.

i am leaning towards the dc2r, cause i think it looks the best of the 3! i love b series engines! k series are awesome engines too. but ep3 and the dc5 look are a downfall compare to the eg ek dc2. thankyou guys

[meatball]

dc2r + b series with ep3 front end and dc5r rear end. done deal hahahahaha

[RtN]

dc2r + K series LOL

dc2r= too many rattles and noises and its hard to find a good example of one anymore
dc5r+ep3r = most of the parts are interchangeable and being a later model car it doesnt creak and whatnot that the dc2r does.
IMO, if your after something which brings out the race driver in you all 3 of these cars can do it, but the dc2r i think truly is a racecar. The dc5r and ep3 were more "luxury" for me. I was in the exact same position your in and i was leaning towards the dc5r because the ep3 didnt look aggressive enough for me and the dc2r was just too old. So instead i bought an s2000 haha. Non-biased opinion so dont flame me =(

just get the newer car...
