any one got one.. pix... anygood.

whats the main difference over a std TypeR thats not a DC5?

Apart from being a different, newer car, you mean?
2.0l engine v 1.8l, slightly bigger and heavier and looks completely different to the previous one.

Performance wise it's supposed to go similarly to the current CTR but with a bit more focus. It's also got an LSD and Brembos. EVO mag. did a feature on CTR v ITR (old and new). Was a while ago though - Nov. 2001.

The original ITR (DC2) is supposed to be the more focused and better handling of the two although I'm sure there's not much in it as far as most drivers go. I love my DC2, but am thinking of moving to a DC5 as I would appreciate just a little more comfort without losing too much of the handling.

i do fancy one.. but at £15k for a 2002 model seems steep.


running cost better than a scoob????????

 

Phil - Call me you fool!!!

dc2 is also slightly faster then the overweight heavy dc5

 

DC2 is my favourite FWD car, I'm currently looking for one but the extra 150kg (tops) of the DC5 your talking about isn't as big a deal when you consider 200cc, 33bhp & extra gear difference. Bearing in mind the DC5 isn't supposed to be as raw, more refined etc and better looking plus has a slightly higher power/weight ratio and I'd expect it to be very slighty quicker (straight line anyway)

 

There are some pictures and tuning options on Iain Litchfield's web site.

Erm......... no it's not
DC5 0-60 6.3
DC2 0-60 6.7

I currently own a DC5 and would say that DC2 is a bit sharper, more aggresive but the DC5 is a much easier car to use every day

 

I've had one for around 3 weeks and I love it, it is a little less raw than the DC2 (which I have previously owned) but there is not much in it, the steering feels better than the DC2, the body also feels a lot stiffer and the suspension is harder.

I've got a pic but don't know how to upload.

 

sorry rb170 is right but i cant seem to get any good stats on the dc5 but the dc2 does handle better

 

Have you driven the two back to back on the same stretch of road to really tell the differnece in handling or are you taking this from press reports? my DC2 (with stiffer springs) felt a lot softer than the DC5, I've yet to push the DC5 to see where it's limits are but the road conditions this time of year prevent this.

 

My attempt at putting a pic up.

yes mate has a dc5 and mate has a dc2 both standard sorry i do feel the height of car compromises the handling, not on same bit of road though so maybe a bit bias

 

Not exactly back to back but within a couple of days of each other and on the same road.

The DC2 was the better handler.

 

Looks the Nuts Cyber! I'm a Jealous Boy :-( Can't wait till April when i get mine sorted! Anything to report about it ??

 

DC5 V DC2 nothing in it, but DC5 is easier to drive, and has improved a lot of the DC2 qualities. Best FWD car, more than likely.

 

Who do you guys go to for importing them?

 

DC2 was a stunner....shame about the DC5

 

What you on about, the DC5 is streets ahead of the DC2, the interior is slick, it's has a minimalist design which other Jap manufactures could learn a lot from, the seats are better, nowhere near as much body roll, I think it looks better too, especially from the rear.

The low down torque (thanks to the IVTEC) is excellent, the DC2 was either on or off. No such issues with the DC5, it just pulls well in any gear out of VTEC.

I'm not knocking the DC2 it was an excellent car, I just think the DC5 has moved on and too me it has not lost any of the magic. I'll post some more pics for anyone who still thinks the DC2 looks better.

 

More pics for Bodski ;-)

Lovely car mate and in the best colour too!

 

Thanks - If it's a Honda, then it has to be white...

 

Very nice Cyberevo.
Are you a member of itr-dc5.com forum at all?

Both DC5 and DC2 are very good cars. Very capable track cars and can easily see off UK Turbos (stock wise).

In regards to imi's comment, I guess thats your opinion on its design however technology wise the DC5 is ahead of the DC2.

 

Yep, I'm a member of that forum, it is not very busy but the posts are very imformative.

 

I dont like the look of the DC5...its like watching a widescreen movie in 4:3

Each to their own.

 

Very nice mate, but it doesn't have to be white

Here's mine

 

Here are a couple of pics of my DC5





Great car. It is every bit as quick as my JDM WRX MY96. There is not as much mid range 'grunt', but once you get into VTEC it is very quick. It is better as a track car as it carries more speed through corners and the brakes are in a different class.

It is practical day to day car. There is plenty of luggage space. It is quiet at motorway speeds and it does 35 mpg at motorway speeds.

 

I've Just got one thing to say to anyone who's got a DC5 when i hav'nt and thats...........GITS GITS GITS!!!!! Especially Cyberevo cause thats just the spec i'm looking for, Gotta be White with red Interior (my Humble opinion).

Serioulsy guys they all look the Muts, roll on April is all i can say.

 

Very nice,

Blue is nice, black is nice too but you know white is faster
