Hey guys!
So i finally bought a DC5 Type R that i have been after for months! It took me a while to find the right one but i finally found a genuine seller (He is a frequent OzHonda user)
Please see the pic i took below!
Here are the details!
136 XXXkm
White with Red Recaros
TODA Headers
Custom 3inch exhaust from headers back
Kpro Tuned to 147KW ATW
Coilovers
Injen Intake
HID
A few other Goodies
I am absolutely stoked i must say what a car! Everything is just so good its so responsive! I came from an Auto DC4 so you can imagine the power difference.
I just had a few questions to ask
1. The Exhaust has to be the most loudest drone i have ever heard on a car. The ECU has been tuned so that VTEC kicks in at 4300RPM and the crossover makes the exhaust sound like a ferrari (not in a good way)! I really need to change over the exhaust before my neighbours slash my tyres lol. it has a massive 4inch cannon. Do i just have to replace it from the Axle back? it has 3inch pipeing from the TODA headers. If so, which Axle Back would you recomend to give it a nice Crossover but not overly loud.
2. Since the ECU is chipped to kick VTEC in at 4300 RPM, Is this no good for the engine as it is used alot more than what it would stock?
3. Im not sure if this is normal, i noticed in the engine bay there is a hole on each side where the steering rack goes through to the front wheels ( Not sure if that what it is ). But basically you can see both front wheels from inside the engine bay! im not sure if this is normal? it looks like this could dirty the engine bay?
4. The coilovers are adjusted pretty low and when you do a full lock you can hear them making a popping sound. The owner told me it was happending as soon as he installed them and his mechanic said its a common issue on the DC5 when you change to coilovers. Would raising them fix this problem?
Thank for the assistance! Hope im not asking to much
