Intro - Vtec Yo! Picture Already Attached


Recommended Posts

just a quick one with the dc5 you cant really do much to the suspension because of the way they designed the car and how it all works and travels, if you lower them it messes everything up nd make it worse on the track! might look fully sic but isnt. i would do some reading into it.

i would spend money on decent rubber

cat back exhaust (still can be used in the future if charged)

slotted rotors and decent pads

anyhow welcome

honda do get the chassis/handling very good out of the box.

I've driven a modified dc2 type r, it had basic mods, exhaust, clutch, intake, and coilovers.

the improved hp was fantastic, the clutch and coilovers were terrible, i'd consider them downgrades.

I drive a bone standard dc2 type r frequently (one in the family) and as a standard car the handling is fantastic, they are VERY flat and neutral through corners, and throw all of the usual fwd characteristics out the window.

I can't really comment on the dc5, the addition of good rubber and a few extra hp will benefit most cars.

Thanks for all the advice and welcomes guys.

Heres a bad picture of my car after a late night car wash from an iPhone.

Anyways, CAI, coilovers and some advanti wheels are in. Didn't really want to spend $3K on a set of JDM wheels to reduce unsprung weight atm, have plenty of more BFYB mods to do for that sorta money.

Next mods will be front and rear sways from either cusco or whiteline, followed by probably nolathane bushes all round. I took the car to King Lake and Mt Dandy on the weekend and found that the car had significant body roll, so hopefully those mods + lowering a bit more should help.

She's also very nose heavy compared to a Civic/Clio sport or even WRX and brakes are another weak point. Already looking for a set of brembos off a JDM DC5R to address that...

Anyhow feel free to comment hope to see u all at a track day soon.

    • Yeah I spent close to a year finding one. I was even tempted to buy a RB25DE N/A head and port it out. That latter option, could still be an option.
    • My head recently blew up on the dyno, been trying to find a replacement for the last 3 months with no luck.  Does anyone know where I might be able to find one? Willing to chase down any leads at this point  Cheers 
    • Waiting for a queue of Supras to get out of the way. Then the same conversion work to the box which was probably bought about the same day as you bought yours, by the sound of it. And hopefuly with enough Supras out of the way we'll finally get to do the box into the car along with the injectors and AFM so that the last 18 months of driving a highflow nearly NA can finally come to an end.
    • That was a long winded way to say yes....
    • Got my R34 gearbox around 4-5 weeks ago. Came into some extra $$ recently and after I cleaned the mess off the notes, I thought, might as well buy that R34 box I've been pondering.  In that time I've pulled the engine out, replaced rod and mains bearings, done a few other engine things that are much easier with the engina out eg PRP oil pump upgrade, replacing wastegate coolant lines, installing Turbosmartass turbo oil pressure reg, made some mounting brackets for some of my mods that are "hard to reach", converted the R34 box to R33, put the engine and new gearbox back in the car. Plus cleaning ...Oh my god so much cleaning when doing such a project. Yep I'm a busy bee, buzz buzz. As part of the gearbox project, researched posts and found this thread (In which i nailed it for the OP), hence the post here # logical thinking.. Not all about you old boy, SOrrryyy. Dare I ask,  how's yours going ,> Or you got it done yet, and if so why didn't you post any of the tips I posted to help other members? ???
