flat4_ire

The CTR' rawer little brother.


IMHO

integra was always better i felt..def the dc2 anyway

DC2 Great handeling car. On the twisties despite having a supercharger and chassis upgrades on my CTR I can just about keep up with my m8 in his stock DC2. The suspension, steering feedback and LSD combine to make it THE best FWD handeling car ever made (IMHO). If there is a drawback it is quite raw and on long motorway journeys the 5 speed box can be a bit of a pain.

There is a JDM white one for sale for 6995 by a girl on www.type-r-owners.co.uk. We also have many owners in particular a guy called Hasnic is pretty knowledgeable about these. Give him a shout if you like. Nice chap.

what u mean on long journeys the 5spd gearbox can be a pain?? uve never been in an sti type r then. i had a 98 spec ITR, 5th gear flying down the motorway at 100mph and shes grand, 100mph in the type r and shes revving her nuts off, 5spd gearbox in the dc2's is absolutely fine, great cars..

super6four

I ment comparitively. Cruising in 6th allways a better option if you have it. Just trying to point out all the pros and cons. And yes I have driven a STI Type RA, currently drive a Ver 7 STI and a CTR. As you can see from my post have a lot of respect for the Teg, just wanted to point out that it is worth baring in mind that if your journeys are involving a long commute or mainly motorway driving.

flat4_ire

Stevie_h

You don't want a Japanese Capri, the Accord Type R is much better

Hi mate,

Had an X plate for 2 years (DC2)

Anything you want to know, from servicing costs to living with one day to day and doing long trips just ask

MooseRacer

As above, also had an x plate DC2. Basically lookout for trashed gearboxes, collapsed seat bolsters and regular servicing - and that's about it.

flat4_ire

ive never come across one with a "thrashed gearbox", they are seriously reliable cars man, not many cars can hit 8900rpm everyday without a peep get a dc5 tho

Dark Blue Mark

Expect a noisy / tooth rattling experience!

Awesome apart from that, and look v cool. Scoob quick with the right mods too. I went in one with breathing and chassis mods and I shat myself!

Here's my old one:

flat4_ire

nice but not as nice as my old one was so rare at the time, 98 spec in black with black recaros and a heap of hks stuff would take a standard gdb wrx on on the roll..here she is..

Dark Blue Mark

Not keen on those style headlights but nice all the same

MooseRacer

That's trashed - the synchro's are a weakpoint (relatively speaking).

And no matter what you might think the rev counter says, a standard teg will not hit 8900rpm.

flat4_ire

The synchros are a weak point? ive never heard or came across this to be honest man,ive had 4 hondas, and never any hint of a gearbox problem(or anything for that matter).. ur sayin its a manufacturing flaw?
and my teg did hit 8900rpm(even tho id rarely rev her over 8k)i know the counters do be off a lot of the time

jamin

I had a 99 (V) Teg and it had covered about 40,000 miles - gearbox was on its way out. Had an uprated clutch fitted at Option Motorsport (as this was what we thought the problem was) but still had problems. Option said the previous owner must have kept dipping the clutch at high revs or something like that. Either way he was a pillock...no that Im bitter.
I sold straight away.

flat4_ire

Englsih cant drive properly, just rag the **** out of their cars from what i see

Dark Blue Mark

You try to sell it with a nackered box?

sheesh chancers!

jamin

Sheesh nothing better to do DBM

Caught with my trousers down...but would the judge and jury please take into account the fact I didnt advertise as "mint"...or technically lie..it was costing too much to run...after I forked out £500 for a clutch...

Also note no one from scoobynet bought it in the end...[cough] I wouldnt do that to you guys

Type R

The syncros on the DC2 and EK9 are particulary poor, 2nd, 3rd and 4th syncros went on my brothers DC2 , I did 3rd and 4th on my old EK9, nothing wrong with the gearbox. I would recommend changing the oil yearly espeacily if you induldge on track.

On the DC5 and EP3 the syncros are a lot stronger.

My old EK9 used to go to 9100 verified on a RR, with some help from a new ECU, and some otgher tweaks

Type R

Describe the reason you felt it was knackered?

EvoBarry

TypeR is correct. Fwiw my X plater is nearly on 60k and the clutch/box are still mint, aslong as you treat the car with a modicum of respect it should give 100% reliable service.

I've done 25k in mine now and still love driving it

EvoBarry
