I would swap my Type-S for a well tuned DC5 anyway. Just in my opinion.

Only good thing about them is the k20 and lsd box.

Plenty off downsides to. Lost count of the number that have fitted coilovers to try improve handling to then find the geometry of the car cant be set right as it knocks it to pop. You then have the prehistoric rear suspension setup as a cost saving measure.

Really this is all news to me.. I've always believed the hype of the best handling car.. Clearly not
As @Thebusofwoe says that was the dc2

There's a reason the 90's were the naughty 90's for Honda as that's when they produced there best cars by far, don't get me wrong the k20 etc are great engines but Honda saved money elsewhere on the ep3's/dc5 etc to compensate for this.

Performance wise even from standing start I left a dc5 for dead in my old bb4 (wasn't exactly standard). Was really funny at the time cause I remember him sitting at the lights laughing as we were side by side, that smug look was soon gone tho as all he seen was the prelude's rear end

Yeah I know the dc2 was that for defo, just kind of thought the dc5 replaced it in those terms. Must of read it somewhere.. Surely lol,.. Haha

Haha fair play his face must of been a picture.

cant believe some of you struggle against ep3's

ive literally NEVER lost to one and in fairness now i have 30hp more, but still the rate i pulled away from the last one was rediculous

had a dc2 and thought it was great, always wanted a dc5 but seriously cant see how it would be £6k better than my lude
