Hi everyone, sorry but this is nothing to skylines, hope you guys wont mind. Would like to know what you guys think bout these cars

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 6 and Honda Integra DC5 Type R

Im looking to get one of these soon and just cant make up my mind after some time. Been searching bout these cars for some time and i guess i might know some tiny bit bout them. I will keep them as stock as possible and just want to know which one will hold their resale value better (after 1-2 years)? will be happy for any comments, Thanks

My budget is around 20k

Jeff

Hey bud,

Both are good cars, if your going to get an EVO 6, try go for the better speced Tommy Makinen Edition, you say you'll keep them stock so ill assume they're not going to see much track time, EVO's are really focused and purpose built, very stiff and firm to drive but a real drivers car.

The DC5 is also focused but not as much as the EVO, great cars for the street if you don't mind the FWD format

In terms of value for money and depreciation, i think (subjectively) that the DC5 will hold its value better as it is newer and also P-Plate legal - thats where the money is atm, in naturally aspirated cars - i think so anyway

All the best happy hunting

Pictures also don't hurt =)

DC5R will hold its value better, and can probably resell easier.

Because DC5R is one of the fastest legal car for a P plater :rant:

yea man, since im quite a beginner to cars, so maybe should just stick to NA. Thanks for the great recomendation

Thanks alot for the awesome pics man ! Im always like to have a Championship White DC5 ! IMO the white is the best colour to go with the REDS for type R.

Yea, been thinking bout the TME as well but its just slightly off my budget since they cost around 5-6k more, but also, alot more awesome machine !

The JDM DC2R is such a nice looking machine!

my choice would be evo though - just love their performance! (am thinkning of getting an evo 7 next year) - but from what i can see, resale value is not as good for evos

Yea man, resale valueis one of the prob for evo i guess, the 9 drop like 6-7k ? in one year's time i think

c'mon juliette.... not only is it true, but its the most accurate statement jim's ever made on here :ermm:

torque steer yo FTL

Keeps you on your toes. It's no fun if you can't fight the steering wheel :P Torque steer is fine, understeer is horrible.

evo 6 is horrible

Yeah but it beats the "VTEC Lag" that the DC5R has. :P

Stretch the Budget and get a EVO 6.5 (TME)...it will hold its value, and is a WAY better car.

FWD is like winning a race @ the special Olympics....

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
