nice read - from start to end page - I am also building my Euro at the moment, but a dilemma of selling it and buying a DC5R,
After reading this thread realized that more than 65% of people don't believe that CL9 will be fast/track weapon and who ever
will mod one needs to have a lot of $$$$$$

dc5r is a good base to start with...
first speedo will work correctly no matter what u do with the gears
hondata kpro is pnp
throttle cable...
lighter.....
lot of aftermarket parts....

but the steering arm/suspension geometry is hard to correct if lowering your car.... u can try tie rods, inverted tie rods etc.. but not easy to get right...... also the engine mounts are kinda weak so you need to beef them up to protect your header etc etc....... then maybe it starts to get uncomfortable with vibrations....... lol

yeh im in the dilemma of selling or keeping my cl9 - well I started modding it with handling good and e/h, now in the list is drive-train and ecu
well see which one comes first, if the DC5 i wanted get sold before selling my car, im keeping my cl9 then

From what I heard dc5r suspension is a bitch to get right, in comparison cl9's full indie suspension is much easier to deal with.

Having said that it is a lighter vehicle...

This is only if you go with extreme configurations. Just slap on coilovers on a DC5R at stock height or down to 1.5" lowered and it will run rings around a CL9 with coilovers. It is the sad truth.

Even a DC2R pulls away easily on track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlBnevchfGg

Well I have my dc5r time to beat.... See what this cl9 can do in terms of laptime...

Well the cl9 doesn't have LSD... That's a second right there, but you can pop a dc5r LSD into a cl9 tho.
And you gonna need a lot of carbonfibre... Cause the euro needs extreme diet to catch the teg
