That's a sweet ride, does it have HID's as well.. I love the perks that other contries get stock.. recaro's.. so and so fourth.

well I must say that your DC5R is really really pretty!
R rules!!!

 

I know australia didnt get the Full-fledged DC5R (we probably wont either) but can you give us your thoughts on how the DC2R and the DC5R compare? I know there have been a couple of things like this before but I would just like to hear from some who actually has access to both.

 

looks really good !

 

nice ride . why no red valve cover

 

Please compare the DC2R to the DC5R. I've seen the BM comparison, but I'd like to hear yours.

 

Me too

 

his DC5R has the exact same specs(performance wise) as the USDM typeS....it's basically a typeS with R skirts and and interior

 

 

My experience with my R has been very limited as I just bought the car 2 weeks ago and have been running it in until yesterday. There is a track day in a couple of months so i'll be able to give a good comparison then.

 

Great color choice, looks great.

 

If the aus. DC5R is the same as the US type s, does this mean there is no type s in aus. ?

 

OK here is a list of the specs of the JDM, AUSDM and USDM DC5s...

The JDM 2002 ITR rims are not 14 lbs, more like 7.7 kg (17 lbs) according to VTEC sports magazine....

 

its not the same....there are differences (see above)

 

Looks like it's half and half!

I know a girl who just got herself a brand spankin new DC5R and shes 17!

Showed her the pictures of yours (which is the same colour) and she got alittle angry over someone else having the same car as hers.. pfft, "women"

By the way, great pics.. umm, the blue recaros that come with the arctic blue ITR.. can those fit on DC2R's as well? I'd love to get my hands on a set of blue recaros, if i could sell the yellow ones for higher.

 

Yes I agree. The LSD and the weight (~100kgs lighter than USDM DC5) should be a significant difference.

 

17!!! Geeeeeeeee luckkkkkyyyyyy. I was driving a Mazda 626 at that age!!! Anyway tell her to track it!!!

 

please please please can you post more pictures of the Red DC2
it looks almost like mine exept for the black wheels and i have some foglights in my bumper.....nice cars

thanks

 

Very nice pics

 

More pics of the red DC2 coming very soon. Hehehehe the red dc2r looks better in real life - the black sppon stickers and flat black rims give it a rugged/tough look. Looks awesome!
