I could upgrade the heads to a type r head, get rid of the lev components. In my eyes this car will probably cost more and use more time, but itll be madd by then end.
Are these cars stock? the CL9 has a nice pull dont get me wrong my gf got one.
but even she would rather a dc5r, the euro is boaty, unless you need 4 doors just get 2
plus u could always go frank on a DC5R aswell, or go frank k24/20a on a DC2. the chassis is the most important part you cant change that, so get the right one

Considering she wanted an fd lol
I think the cl9 was a better choice :P

Hey Lemon if ya want 4 doors and handling then the fd1 + k20/24 frank is doable, with a full tank of juice and lightweight seat in my fd1 it weighs under 1190kgs, confirmed at the drags last week.
Handling would be on par if not better than your dc2 dc5 Ep3 euro options. Conversion cost is a smidge higher due to needing an fd2 subframe, i was lucky enough to get an fd2R subframe and steering rack cheaply. Anythings doable if ya have the time and cash.

Euro/ audm fd/ fn from my understanding has torsion rear end, and is far worse than the dc5/ep/ek, etc.

The euro's cu2/cl9 are the last of the famed Honda's double wishe boned suspension...
The fd (au)/fn2 big to differ

Hey drifter Im only sharing the comments other honda racers have made after fanging my fd1 at the track, and after all the FD2R is the best fwd ever produced by Honda, Euro handing maybe good but its a massive weight penalty.

From everyrhing i've seen, the euro/ audm model was surpassed in every way by the ep3r

Yeah i get what ya saying, tight chassis the ep3, thou a little top heavy for my liking. shape aint that aerodynamic either.
