2002 Honda Integra Type R DC5 Review 

Why thank you

Yes would definitely recommend if you can put up with the general lack of comfort

Cheers man - would recommend!

Cheers mate

Thanks man, done the S14

Glad you enjoyed it! And yes it's amazing the difference it makes

Pleased you're enjoying the car! I certainly enjoyed mine

Cool!

Cheers mate

Yeah man they’re really cool

One day bro! I'm sure you will

Thanks @@KiwiCarLife :)

Cheers g

Ayyyye! Hope you guys are doing well down there! Cheers for dat

@@KiwiCarLife Thanks have a great day!!!!

Gee yeah that would be a rocket!

@@KiwiCarLife with shitty 60ft (2.2 sec) I ran a 13.6 1/4 stock. Quick enough but I want more

@@kseriesdan9722 that's moving for sure! Something to be said for a stiff lightweight chassis and short gears. Not a recipe for top speed, but definitely promotes substantial acceleration

Yeah did have to take the wheel off

Thank you!

Yep that's exactly why. And yes it's good being able to import anything here

Yeah mine came with blue recaros but has black carpets so somewhere along the way the seats must have been changed. Because the blue seats were all ripped, I put some red ones in.

Good to hear! Hope you're enjoying it

Nah its in Wellington - whitemans Valley road

Actually my old boss had one of them - quite nice to drive but had one of the most difficult clutches I've ever seen in a car surprisingly!

Thank you Mr Wikipedia

Yeah I got a mate with one - maybe I should ask him

Wow yeah I love me a good FD, but yeah Auckland is a bit far. Sounds like you've got quite the collection of cars!

KiwiCarLife that’s my friends’ vehicle. 😆

Nice

I can try!

I'd say go for the Type R, GT86's have such sad engines

FN2 is much nicer to drive - nowhere near as jerky and more comfortable, but this is definitely faster, revs higher and handles better thanks to a better suspension setup

KiwiCarLife if you had to pick one for a daily driver which one would you pick, bear in mind to attack some track days on the weekends but still get you to university and some car meets.

@Unibeam Hmm tough choice, especially given they're both about the same price. I think if you got a DC5 you'd be a lot more popular at car meets, and it would be faster on the track, but I can testify that having dailied mine, it's pretty darn uncomfortable and tiring to drive every day. If I had to choose a daily, I'd probably say FN2 aye. If you do want to buy a DC5, wanna buy mine?

KiwiCarLife I’m in Aus mate HAHAHAHA otherwise I would, ive been getting so many opinions of what to get but why do you wanna sell?

Mainly because it's done 214,000kms. I always wanted a Type R and I'm really pleased I bought one. But now I kinda want to get rid of it before something expensive breaks

You're right!

Great video tho dude! I use mine daily and it’s track spec, I totally get you 😂

@@asmrmousey4407 Cheers mate yeah I'd like to keep it and have a daily but it costs heaps to run two cars aye

For me at the time yes

@@KiwiCarLife hey mate how’s the ride on one of those is it good to daily?

@@Adrenadriven7 not really, I sold it for that very reason

Nahhh

Haha I ain't got that kinda money

Type r is better anyway

Yeah would be keen, but I'd have to do a special trip up. Maybe if I could book in a whole bunch of cars from around Auckland I could do a trip up.

KiwiCarLife yea. That would be best if you have a plan all the way down to akl. Just bought this machine. It blows my mind and I feel like I drive a rocket every time I drove it

Lol

You driven them? DC5 definitely has the superior engine. Handling is really down to personal preference. DC2 suits modifying due to the double wishbone suspension, but stock for stock, I would hope the DC5 is superior. Wouldn't be much use as a new model if it was worse than the old one! DC2's are still awesome though.

@@KiwiCarLife I have a itr dc2 and I have driven my friend dc5 blue like your one here both stock of cause and both Australia spec type R not the jdm one. The dc5 is more comfortable but that's not what type R is about its performance over comfort. The dc5 feels a little heavier then the dc2 cause it is there no denial that's a fact but it makes up for it for having a slightly bigger engine with more torque and power to get the car moving but u can really feel the differences in weight when cornering and for drag racing my dc2 eats my friend dc5 by 1 to 2 cars the Australian spec dc5 is a joke. The only good dc5 is the jdm spec cause it comes with the k20a 220hp that over 20 more horspower then the Australia version dc5 and over 30 more hp over the Australia dc2 which is only 190hp and 197hp for the jdm dc2. No shit the k series is superior to b series cause its a bigger engine but these cars a built for balance not for who has the most power straight line race and even with the jdm dc5 is only slightly fast then the jdm dc2 in drag racing. Think about it why is the dc2 consider a legend and the dc5 is forgotten cause the dc2 is better then the dc5 in every way apart from engine power and comfort lol (if that's what u want in a performance car). Just cause its a newer car doesn't mean its better then the older ones example look at the old crx and look at the newer crz thats suppose to replace the crx LOL even the delso crx is shitier then the old crx same for Toyota mr2 vs the spyder mr2, celica gt four vs the newer models celicas and so on and so on, sometime car company just design stupid shit lol don't get me wrong dc5 is a good car but dc2>dc5.

AUDM DC2 is better than AUDM DC5 sure, but JDM DC5 is definitely better than JDM DC2. Just look at the lap times around every circuit in the world!

@@KiwiCarLife yep that's all thanks to the k20a bigger engine=more power/toque for advantage in straight line acceleration, corner exist acceleration which is very important and better advantage going up hill. Dc2 is superior in lighter weight chassis/suspension wise and balance but that's not gonna be enough with our a equal power engine that's why when modification such as engines swap and stuff comes into play dc2 overall better.

Personal preference I guess. I've always been one to respect older cars, but buy newer ones.

Thank you

Of course it's a Type R you dump truck. Even the damn title says it lol. The hell you spewing about, just to be a dump truck, you dump truck

I think he was referring to me "not liking it because it rides hard, is raw and uncomfortable" claims I still stand by
