ok well got a friend who really wants my R.. im thinking around $11.5k NZD? i dont know if its too cheap.. ITR are pretty easy to get here could easily get a 98 spec for not much more but would be near stock maby 15k for 98-00 model JDM version ofcourse..

heres my R for those who dont know it.. its hard for you to suggest a price as the market is totally different here, a stock 96 R with 130km usually around 10,000k NZD, stock 98 R around 14-15k, spec list is proper on this car no expense spared, maby i should enjoy it more, kms are up to 180km which is reasonably high for NZ, most R that you buy now from a dealer are around 130km.. would consider a rebuild shortly if i keep it, probably 220km?? i dont know its running mint, no oil use..



but i was thinking of goin up to the JDM DC5R with brembos etc for around $20k NZD or my mates EP3R for the same price, UK built obviously without brembos but half a mugen an js racing catalogue, full carbon parts bonnet, wing, mirrors, mugen front, intake, Advan RG gold 17s 5zigen exhaust, js sump, braces, engine damper you name it..

-Keep it?
-Sell an get newer 98 spec?
-DC5R old mans soft ride?? but nice an new with improved technology, (quite cheap/bang for buck)??
-EP3 awesome built with nice parts, but looks more like a minivan/bus (still like it)??

 

tough choice! your car is very nice but I wanna see pics of the DC5 to help me decide negative on the EP3

 

any pics of the minivan?

 

unless you spend a lot of money modifying it you will be bored.

and then after that you'll still wish you kept your DC2 or got a different DC2.

both very much meant to be easier to live with at the cost of fun.


EP3R is "alright", DC5R is nicer but still.... neither of them are a replacement for the DC2R IMO.

 

heres an oldish one of the ep3, same look really just has bonnet now..



heres a DC5 that could be a possibility, with link to listing at the bottom

looking at all 3 cars, I would say definitely keep yours. what about buying another car and keeping yours, can you afford that?

 

DC2>DC5........EP3= not on the list.

Dont do it.

 

if you were to sell your car, i would get the dc5. the EP3 look like the mini honda odysees

 

Ouuu tough choice.....i unno your DC2 look effing sweet man but then again that DC5 can look Effign sweet too Lol

i think i go with the dc5 imo

 

I still cant decide. I would have to drive the DC5 and see how it feels compared to a DC2. B2finity's really shows how nice they can look, but dont how know they drive unless I drove one.

 

dc2, hands down.

 

i would have to agree with mostly everyone on here keep your DC2R it is sick! dc5 is hawt but eh, and the ep3's look like sh*t

 

Keep your DC2. If you're looking to trade up, go for the FD CTR!

 

Keep the DC2

I say keep yours man, while Ryan is right Dennis made the DC5R one of the baddest FF cars I've ever seen, but that's $20,000 on top of the purchase of the car.

Your car is super nice and unique as hell. you built a good R, keep her.

 

this is so hard any pics of dennis's dc5r??

consider the lifespan of the DC2: 1995-2001 (in Japan)

and the lifespan of the DC5: 2002-2005

why? because the DC2 wasn't too popular. The DC5 killed the Integra IMO, so I have a deep prejudice towards it. Do yourself a favor. Keep the DC2, its a classic, destined to become one of the best race ready cars ever made.

 

man your car looks great. Anymore shots of the paint? Is it repainted?

 

i think the dc5r is def more sexy looking but cant match the handling of a dc2r

 

Damn, DC2 and DC5 are the sexiest of the Honda lineup. But I'm biased.

EP3 shouldn't even have been a consideration.
