UK Honda Integra Dc2 Type R

[Merk]

The only problem with the wheels is the size of them, the exact same wheel in 15" wouldn't look bad at all.

Best bet is to get some standard DC2 ones IMO.

 

[Christopher]

Their "premium" is about 95 RON IIRC? lol

Either way I'd still be a little wary of the spoon ECU if it's set to run on Japanese spec fuel.

US Premium is 91. LOL.

 

[kev182cup]

I think I probably will change the wheels for some 16s of some sort, JDM ones maybe.

Need to take the stickers off too.

id stick with 15's for handling and acceleration if it was mine. there will be rust on it trust me just try find it before it gets bad. boot is a common area and behind the front bumper aswell as wheel arches. revving to 10,000 rpm will mean regular oil changes and get the good stuff or youll regret it.

 

[Ray Gin]

The whole car has been checked there isn't rust on it lol Boot, arches, bumpers, sills, everywhere was checked, the car is mint.

Oil is meant to be changed every 5k but previous owners have changed it every 4k.

Probably won't be up at 10,000rpm that often, but we'll see how addictive it is lol

 

[_Tom]

10k would be scary. My ATR loved to rev but 10k is nuts..haha

 

[keo]

I like it, i realy want to try a dc2 but dont want two front wheel drive cars and i cant see me selling my trophy. 10k sounds fun/ painful lol

 

[GRitch]

I might be wrong but that front bumper doesn't match sit flush? I might be wrong but doesn't look like it fits with the wings and bonnet.

Tegs always look like they were built by a 5 year old.

91 MON not 91 RON.

US fuel is the same as ours. A few places in the US sell fuel near enough 102 RON as well.

Stolen from Wiki:

Research Octane Number (RON)
The most common type of octane rating worldwide is the Research Octane Number (RON). RON is determined by running the fuel in a test engine with a variable compression ratio under controlled conditions, and comparing the results with those for mixtures of iso-octane and n-heptane.

Motor Octane Number (MON)
There is another type of octane rating, called Motor Octane Number (MON), or the aviation lean octane rating, which is a better measure of how the fuel behaves when under load, as it is determined at 900 rpm engine speed, instead of the 600 rpm for RON. MON testing uses a similar test engine to that used in RON testing, but with a preheated fuel mixture, higher engine speed, and variable ignition timing to further stress the fuel's knock resistance. Depending on the composition of the fuel, the MON of a modern gasoline will be about 8 to 10 points lower than the RON, however there is no direct link between RON and MON. Normally, fuel specifications require both a minimum RON and a minimum MON.

My cousins had 2 dc2's and a dc5 and they have never looked like an elephant had sat on the bumper

 

[Ray Gin]

PMSL!

The bumper is fine, calm yourself.

It's just the photo.

 

[midge]

Is the uk one with twin headlights and the jap one with the long head lights?

 

[Ray Gin]

Yep.

Prefer the look of the JDM one from the front, but I'm happy with this one.

 

[Bluebeard]

I think i'm the only one alive that prefers the UK model.

The JDM's look so old.

Im with you.

 

[Jewson172]

Lucky man!

 

[midge]

I prefer the twin headlights to.

 

[Christopher]

US front end FTL.

 

[J0sh]

US front end FTL.

True dat.

 

[Ray Gin]

It's here

Couple of crap phones pics,

For whoever said about the bonnet/bumper, it has bonnet raisers, which will be taken out.

Will be removing the stickers soon.

Very impressed, couple of stone chips here and there, paint could dow ith a touch up at places, nothing major.

Very pleased overall!

 

[Gouldy]

whats with the funny reg plates?

 

[Ray Gin]

I don't have funny reg plates Gouldy.

The reg may change altogether in a few weeks anyway.

"ZOMG TEC".

ntserial

 

[Christopher]

whats with the funny reg plates?

That's the standard typeface for them over there.

 

[Craigus]

That's the standard typeface for them over there.

I didn't know that. I should of heard it somewhere before.

 

[Turkish]

Volks, get it done.

 

[Ray Gin]

Haha, you're the second person in 2 days to post that photo and tell me to do that!

Will be set up for fast road, will raise it and fit a full Polybush kit, although I'm not sure what size ARB I have, need to check that as the 96 and 98 models have different sized ARB and different sized bushes.

Will probably just enjoy it for a while, get used to it first.

Oh, and will be taking the Brembo covers off! Mintex pads on it atm

 

[Christopher]

UK model has the 98-Spec bushes.

 

[Ray Gin]

Thanks, any idea on the ARB?

Really need to sign up on the ITR forum.

 

[Gaz.]

Nothing wrong with Mintex. Doing a good job stopping 1200kg and at least 270bhp from speed.

 

[Ray Gin]

Have you got them on your 200sx?

 

[J0sh]

Volks, get it done.

Id love to to that with mine, but it just wouldnt make sence with the amount of speed bumps and pot holes on the roads.

 

[Gaz.]

Aye, because Apex were f**king me about on Project Mus. 1144s are cracking with Brembo plain discs. Very dusty, but a great feel and bite, even from cold.

 

[Ray Gin]

Ah cool, must say the brakes are extremely good on this.

 

[Gaz.]

What's on it? Standard setup?

 

[Ray Gin]

With Mintex pads.

 

[Gaz.]

Ah!

I've a friend with Spoon calipers on a Jordan. He says they're immense, but the price second hand is eyewatering.

 

[Merk]

Spoon calipers are far too overpriced IMO.

I have Project Mu pads on my ek9, superb.

 

[Gaz.]

Any good from cold Merk? Got a half worn set of Mus in the garage I've been tempted to try.

 

[Merk]

Yeah they're ideal, but tbh I hardly drive my car enough these days and When I do it doesn't get a hammering, it's on Accord Type R Discs too, makes quite a good combo.

 

[trailerparktrev]

You've got yourself a really nice car Liam. UK front end is so much better.
