Thinking about buying a dc5 Integra type r??

[Rudelude]

Congratulations Mate, looks sweet as...
They came with a b or c pack...the c pack was all the extras: push button start, xenons, folding mirrors, parcel-shelf.
The torque steer may mean time for new tyres!...lol
get a fast road set-up done, will improve the handling overall.

I wonder if u will come back to a lude.................

Enjoy it.

How the hell is a parcel shelf an optional extra?!

...and the rear wiper is an option too!!!!

A mugen exhaust, or heated seats or a lipkit, or tuned suspension, they sound like options....
Wind deflectors, wiper, a parcel shelf....lol

thats because it is a proper type R most were made for the track thats why the dominant colour is white great for sponsor stickers

Thanks mate. Yeah they were weird with their options. Like Merc says, maybe they thought rear wiper and parcel shelf was wasted on the track..

I'd prefer it to be wonky wheel alignment over knackered tyres.. because it's cheaper to sort out

I would definitely have another Prelude again. But it would have to be as clean as a whistle.

That really would be my face! The DC5 feels faster, but that might be down to the seats and tightness of it all.. Prelude was definitely more raw. A drag race would be interesting, but this Integra out handles my old 'lude, hands down.

Absolutely stunning looking car, excellent choice in my opinion. I currently have a new Fiesta ST but wanted a DC5 really, however, due to the mileage I was/am doing it was not really an option.

In regards to the Prelude vs DC5 debate, we are on a Prelude forum so the answers are always going to be biased. My opinion however is that the DC5 is better looking than any Prelude, and that is coming from someone who has owned three 4th gens over the years.

In terms of performance, as people have said, all type r honda's are of similar ability (nsx aside), all roughly around the 200bhp mark, all do 0-60 in less than 7 seconds, all handle well out of the box. That was until they brought out the latest Civic Type R which blows every single one out of the water. Shame it is ugly and costs over £30k!

I know what you mean. At the end of the day they are all pretty similar.. until the new CTR!

I am thinking about getting a set of those alloy tow hook things to stick on the DC5 to prevent people parallel parking into my front or rear bumpers..

Anyone selling a set? I'll put a wanted ad up.

Looks really sweet man, I had toyed with similar things when my last lude was bummed to death, but decided to go for a complete change - as I wanted to avoid making comparisons to my lude all the time!

As they say, if you look back at it to admire the view when you park, you've bought the right car

Look back and admire it? Hell, I deliberately went outside in the rain last night at 1am, before going to bed, to walk around it a few times, just staring at it in disbelief..
