I cant seem to find a lot of information on this site about the dc5-r except that it isnt for sale here in the states. I'm wondering if the dc5 has certain cosmetic upgrades like the old ITR lip etc. that I might want to transfer over to a regular S.

some pix of the 05 dc5r here

 

damn thats ******* hot! but i cant read japanese. how much power does the R make? Any chance of it ever coming to the states?

 

the DC5R will never make it to the states because of emissions standards.

 

how come the dc5-r only goes to 180km/h?

 

It doesn't. That is a soft limiter, every car in Japan has one. My A'pexi RSM easily cut out that limiter. We don't have very large roads here, but I have had mine up to 229km/h(141mph) in the rain! That was in 6th gear and the car was still pulling hard, but I was coming up on traffic.

 

check the honda japan site, then view the interior of the car.. .the speedometer only goes up to 180.

 

Guy check my profile, I own one, I live in Japan. Like I said, all cars in Japan have a soft governor set at 180km/h. Kei cars(660cc) are limited to 140km/h.

The only cars to have a higher shown speed limit are the NSX-R (NA2) and the Skyline GT-R VSpec Nismo model.

 

NEVER make it to the states? wtf..thats queer. how much power does it make? more than 210?

 

They are listed at 220ps about 217hp, on a dynapack it registered 215ps (not mine, this is in the HyperRev Integra#3). That is awfully high, but that is what the dyno showed.

ok, i believe you, relax. i just thought it was odd. is it some sort of law there?

 

even if u swap a j-spec engine w/ the ecu u it has a limiter at 110 i think... i forgot cuz as soon as i got my engine swap(b16a2) in my old civic i hondata'd that sh**
