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.
