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 =)

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

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....

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
