UK Honda Integra Dc2 Type R

[Scrooge]

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

I agree I much prefer the UK front end.

 

[Christopher]

It's the US front end. We just got it handed down.

 

[Ray Gin]

Thanks.

Will be ordering new wiper arms and an ITR sticker for the back in a few days (£38 f**king quid for 'Genuine OEM' stickers!).

Suspension wise I might take out the FK Coilovers and buy some standard springs and shocks to put in, not too sure what to do yet.

Also interested in a Mugen Twinloop system with no Silencer

 

[LIL B]

Its a poor system imo.

Have you looked at Toda ?

 

[Ray Gin]

What's wrong with Mugen?

I haven't, no. Looked at the Mugen system, Fireball system and the Buddyspec (which is what I wanted) but it has no real tone to it, just noise.

 

[LIL B]

Its not a great design, thats all.

Lighter than stock for sure, but gains? no. Just saying there ARE better out there for the money you will throw at a mugen t.l.

 

[Ray Gin]

Had a look but can't find any Videos for a Toda system on Youtube.

 

[LIL B]

Ah, Cat back only?

N1 - but i would save and do the mani first, then worry about the catback. The car will really come alive once you have a good manifold.

 

[Ray Gin]

JDM 4-1 sound good?

Yeah I was thinking of just a cat back, but if I can see good gains with a full system then I'll go with that.

 

[Gally]

Definite Mani first, get that bit out the way. Especially on the teg.

Even I know that! Christopher's knowledge is rubbing off on me.

 

[Ray Gin]

I had heard you can lose power on certain VTEC engines with a de-cat, or maybe that's just the k20?

Miss the pops and bangs I used to have in my old VTR with a de cat

Especially now that I'm coming from a Derv, need that extra roar

 

[Ray Gin]

Spoon backbox, B pipe and De-cat for £500, is that good/bad?

 

[Christopher]

98 JDM Mani & B-Pipe. Spoon N1 axle-back.

Job done.

 

[Ray Gin]

But, is the above a good deal?

 

[Turkish]

<3 my 4-2-1 5Zigen

 

[Gouldy]

buddy club spec 3...

oh and some ear defenders

 

[Ray Gin]

No lol I was interested in the Buddyspec exhausts until I heard them on Tegs... no tone at all just a loud drone.

 

[Gouldy]

i bought one with a mate for his glanza and i heard on on an ep3 at pod.

good lord! you could wake the dead with those things!

 

[Ray Gin]

Aye, a mate has one on his ek Civic, it's only a 1.4 but sounds like a bike when it's on the limiter lol Extremely loud.

 

[DEMONKNIGHT666]

I had a Spoon N1 with B pipe on my DC5 and it nearly killed me and I like it loud.

 

[J0sh]

N1's are for people who dont want to hear again. And hero's.

 

[kev182cup]

I suggest you go out and drive the f**king thing ya wiffer. Before you think of spending any money on it.

 

[Ray Gin]

My insurance starts on 28th of this month you bawbag.

Have driven it months ago anyway. Took it out for a quick blast just around here, was too scared too go far

 

[kev182cup]

Why didn't you just get ya insurance to start the day ya got it? You choose the date not them. Lol

 

[Ray Gin]

Because I couldn't afford to pay off all the insurance in one go the day I bought it? Lol.

 

[bendee]

hows the twin loop poor? i always heard good things about it was the system to have pretty much when i had mine. the spoon is meant to be really loud but the baffles always go and for the price they charge its abit poor imo.
on the manifold front defo get that changed the jdm manifold is a decent upgrade and it shows with the price. i had a spoon manifold on mine 900 quid new, madness jdm prices.
spoon vs standard uk 98 spec manifold.

and one of mine standard rims ftw

 

[Ray Gin]

Yeah deffo going for them wheels now and the JDM mani.

Looks awesome!

 

[Ray Gin]

Not a major update, but anyway.

Ordered myself a decat pipe this morning, and I'm in the process of ordering a full polybush kit, just waiting on 2 companies giving me a price.

Booked in for Thursday to get a couple of bits sorted, coilovers will also be raised and dampers adjusted.

Bonnet raisers will be took out this week sometime, at times they look 'ok', other times they just look out of place. Same goes for the stickers, ordering the oem ITR decal for the back soon too.

Next will be Wheels&Tyres, might leave the mani until after the new year.

 

[Ray Gin]

De-cat arrived today

Now, steering wheel time.

Momo Corse, Nardi, or Mugen wheel.

Swaying more towards the Momo corse one, thoughts?

Can get it with the Momo centrecap or the Type R centrecap.

 

[Merk]

I had that exact one in my ek9 until recently. Got a bit worn so replaced it with a momo jet, much nicer IMO.

 

[Gaz.]

Nardi all the way

 

[Christopher]

300% Nardi.

 

[Ray Gin]

One forum says Nardi one says Momo. PMSL

Will not be getting a suede wheel anyway, eugh.

Oh, possibly getting some Black 15" JDM wheels cheap ish tomorrow, if they're not kerbed that is.

Will be resprayed White obviously and wrapped in some Eagle F1s.

 

[LIL B]

Momo for a Teg.

 

[coxy777]

Nardi for a Teg.

 

[_Tom]

Id say Nardi. If you go for a Momo it has to be the team though imo.

 

[Ray Gin]

Still havent bought a wheel yet That Team one looks awesome, just have other bits to buy first.

Took one of the ghey show stickers off the window, sticking with the Banzai one, it's grown on me

Today I bought myself a Spoon n1 exhaust and fitted the ITR decal for the back.

The wheels I went to buy were in a terrible state so said no to them, want either the UK ones or the later JDM ones.

Collecting some Spax 40mm springs this weekend and some oem shocks to fit until I find some gas shocks.

New camera should be here on Monday so I'll snap some no0b photos then.

 

[jamie rigby]

the wheels look fkin massive on it!

 

[Ray Gin]

I think it's because it's too low as well, I sorta liked them at the start but I think smaller wheels could turn it into a completely different car, it's deffo on the list to do soon.

 

[Ray Gin]

There's a near standard dc2 I can get for LESS than £2000 with better paintwork, less miles & more MOT/Tax than mine.

Hmm.....
