should i get civic type r fd2r or integra dc5?

[e_advan]

Of course fd2r..hehe..
vote 4 fd2r!!!

 

[Slowboy]

vote for fd2r.... you can get both world family and track day.....

 

[Temujin]

None of the above!




Unless if it's an NSX..

 

[luxi]

i prefer dc5R...rare =) in my place..

fd2R have too much copycat......damnnn

yes, very good point, lots of copy cat out there for Fd2r,
but dc5r would be the head turner..for sure lah, 2 doors car right..
not everyone out there know the 'exclusivity' of Fd2r.

this one is comparison not in term of handling, power comparison..that one I don't know, never try both of those monster :hmmmm:

 

[khencana]

i choose DC5 type R... 2 doors... alang2 power, better nampak racing trusss...

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

None of the above!




Unless if it's an NSX..

like this one


or if ever honda create s2000 typeR

 

[Evo_Prince]

FD2 Mugen RR.. hehehe..

 

[lancemapei]

faster the better, FD2R of cos

 

[HKS-GT2835R]

FD2R sir

lengchai, you dissapoint me lar.
i thought 'young n dangerous' ppl go fr DC5R instead.

 

[xinghonh]

considering both are performance car...why not just go with the dc5...its sportier and looks better than a fd2...just an opinion..

 

[HKS-GT2835R]

1. in term of performance the FD2R outshines DC5R in every departments from straight line speed to taking corners at track.

i really do wanna know why?

wiki says:

Honda claims the body is 50% more rigid than the previous Japan-only DC5 Integra Type R, and the new model features an independent rear suspension rather than the torsion beam configuration used on the latest European Civic Type-R.[2] To save weight, aluminum is used extensively and bonded with adhesive instead of welded. Though the body is larger and more rigid than JDM Integra Type R, it is only 1.8 kg (4 lb) heavier

wiki also says it's Curb Weight of 1,266 kg (DC5R) vs 1,270 (FD2R)

dc5R better looking laa

3. DC5R is definitely more comfortable compare to FD2R. FD2R is simply too stiff to my liking. the engine is also noisier

5. maintenance/spare/performance parts i would say DC5R is cheaper. a lil bit

quick question

3. if change suspension, would it still be too stiff?

changing to a softer suspension on a performance car, you mean?

wanna cheap comfy car? buying a good used mercedes W124 makes for a better decision (imo) :hmmmm:

 

[BoxCarRacer]

Im a fan of 2 door cars so i'd say, DC5R !

 

[chockz]

i choose CL7R!!!! double wishbone front and back!

 

[kimoka]

From what I've read.
It doesn't take much for a DC5R to match FD2R's power.

To improve handling on the other hand...

Excuse my noob-ness ...
But what I meant was if we were to mimic an equivalent suspension of a DC5 setting,
Would the overall ride stiffness would still be the same?
Considering chassis & body rigidity difference, etc of FD2R & DC5

 

[DanzEterna]

me noob oso (hence the noob-like answer)
and i don't own any of 'em hondas.

but if stiffer is not better (in the DC5R's case), why wasn't it be tuned by honda to be a bit softer in the 1st place?

not touching the suspension bits, i'd vouch for lots n lotsa additional carbon parts to reduce even more weight.

 

[wajabiruairlaut]

I would buy neither, I rather buy a GOLF GTI (flame suit ON!)
