Need a Integra Type S for race car

[applestypes]

From what I am reading, I am best to get a Type R.

From people experience, what is better, a DC2R or DC5R. I will be racing in Production Car class so I can not make many changes to the car.

Thanks for all you feedback

The DC2R is more track-focussed than the DC5R, and is lighter.

He's racing production class, so K20/K24 EG is a no-go unfortunately.

and RWD and FWD are just different drive types, it's not like one is better for track or road then the other, they both have strong and weak points. for example most RWD's turn in well compared to most FWD sports cars, but FWD exits the turn better in most cases. from my experience anyway.

OP, you could try posting a WTB ad here on the forums?

Well, RWD will be able to handle more power, but as it's a production class, that's a non-issue. I'd argue, however, that FWDs benefits apply more to road cars (compact, affordable, stable in the wet), and that any car that's seeing track duties will surely benefit from the added balance, feedback and performance potential that a RWD drivetrain generally provides. Again, being a production class, with no scope for an increase in performance, a Type R will obviously do the trick.

You're right, DC2 Type R is RAW and a more race orientated than the conservative DC5R....let them hate, its not our fault our DC2-R is a lot more hardcore to the bone

^ without fail you are in every thread whining about how dc2r is better than dc5r. did a dc5r run over your dog or something ?

[EVLGTR]

^ hahahaah to each their own, i didnt say its "better"....read it properly bud.

Yea you may require the revert to the DC5R ecu for compatibility with K-Pro.

Look here:

As mentioned above, you may want to consider other lighter shells (EG / EK).

Given that you have to revert to the DC5R ECU with all the O2 sensor and harnesses that you need to buy and replace. How do the guys in America get away with tuning the RSX-S? Surely it can't be that different...

Hey Guys,

I am looking at upgrading my current race car to an Honda Integra Type S (or Type R). As the car does not need to be registered, I am looking for an import or a damaged car.

Can anyone help or guide me in the right direction to buy a Type S without spending a lot of money.

Thanks

whats your current car ? What class / what series ? What license do you have ? Where do you race ?

Are you serious - considering a type S over a Type R in the first place ?! Are you a student or ?
