DC5 Type R/ Type S Modification Review

[Nuci]

lol i prefer the facelift dc5. but yeah meetup sounds good annual ozhonda meet is coming up soon, first time ill have taken the car out for a cruise.

As for the Kpro yeah you can buy one for 1200-1400, but however you buy it id recommend that you have it installed in a different ecu other than your own. That way if you ever sell the car you can ell the kpro ecu seperately as they are highly sought after. That way you can just whack your old one back in.

yeh its in sydney, didnt know you were in brisbane i will have to organise a meetup when i visit 45set to do our reverse facelift swap

fark yeahhhh!!!

How did u pay for the Mugen Sports suspension? and where

Cheers

Just a word out for you guys. How much did you end up paying for KPro-installed + tuned + reprogramming? Or did you have your ECU chipped?

My mods:
- Mugen Sports Suspension
- JDM Flywheel
- FN2R Clutch

Clutch is softer than DC5 but grabs very strong. JDM Flywheel is a dream to drive with. Very free revving. Mugen Sports is nice and firm on the street. Feels like Koni/Eibach combo on my mates CL9.

Came with the car. It is quite expensive though @ almost $2000 from JDMYard. If you're after a budget coilover, maybe BC racing as they may have something soft enought.

2002 DC5R
Previous Owner
Lowered springs
Some real ugly 18" rims

Personally
-Hasport Billet Engine Mountsl
Definatly remove axle tramp and created a much meaner rumble at idel, vibration increased alot
-Toda Lightweight Flywheel
Seems to rev easier and smoother
-Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket
-AirBox Mod
EP3r Rims running PIRELLI P7 215/45/17 atm
smoother ride that the 18"s Pirellies are new but they are making more noise and not as good in the wet as my old adrenalin R001's will be buying them again next time.

was thinking this thread got a little sidetracked haha, im updating my post now. In all seriousness though everyone here pretty much has a build thread so your comment is a bit redundant, do you suggest we shut down every car forum to stop this risk?

Should also add that ive got a viper alarm system and a chair next to my car which i sit on while holding a cricket bat, some low **** wants to try steal my car they can be my guest. God what has the world come to.

The thing is y make it easier for them. U dont even need to sign in to see this thread
thieves can just come to this thread choose which parts they want then off they go to get them
Its also a bonus the costs are listed so they know which cars will get them the most money
But hey its only when ur shit gets stolen thats when u learn.

lol viper alarms r useless, coloured wiring with 1 point immobolization ROTFL!
u need a shotgun not a cricket bat

[Nuci]

So what is carsales then? A thieves dream? Im not going to sit here quivering thinking oh no if i have a car thieves will just steal it. I have an alarm, the car is securely garaged, I have insurance, plus I know exactly where my car is at all times, and i always park in in a safe place. Not much more I can do. But man i would hate to be the guy who tried to steal my car.

hey i have a dc5 type r 2002 model with aem cold air intake and looking to put in toda headers. i just need to kno if its any good to get those headers with custom 2.5 inch exhuast and cat with hks silent hi power muffler. also looking to get kpro done. Or is it better to get a branded exhaust system. everyone is telling me different things.
