Re: (jsracing)

we get nearly everything the JDM DC5R gets...as in tranny, gearing, recaros, aesthetics, only difference is we get the K20A2 as opposed to the K20A...and and we dont get the brembos....thats about it....

k, the major difference between the JDM ITR and the Aussie ITR is the motor...but since they have similar gearing...does the Aussie ITR have LSD? Also what are the 1/4 times of the Aussie ITR w/ the JDM gearing?

Re: (O dohc O vtec O)

What about the chassis? The Type S and Type R chassis' weight difference is by 150-200lbs. 60-90 lbs less than base. The R chassis is stiffer. Out of curiosity, what's the curb weight of your car as per Honda? I'm curious.

Your car is sweet, and I love those seats. I want them.

The rims are Enkei Tarmac Evo (same as the ones used on Evo rally car). The rims were a cheaper alternative than Spoon SW388, Volk etc etc and are also forged. Size is 17 x 7.5 and im using S03 225/45/17.

As for the Mugen airbox I'll let you guys know how it goes. It was supposed to come late this week but still hasn't. It should come early next week.

Cheers

Mike

Yes the Aussie DC5R has LSD.

As for 1/4 mile I haven't hit the dragstrip yet so I wouldn't know.

Weight of Aussie Dc5R is 1160kg. Its slightly lighter than the JDM model which weighs about 1180kg.

You could check http://www.honda.com.au for more specs on the AUDM DC5R

As for the chassis we dont get a sunroof.
