FTO AUSTRALIA

i found a few sexy honda dc2's on car sales, but are there any cons about them??
and i notice the prices are quite high even when the km's are through the roof.

can you guys let me know if there are any bad things about these integra's please

No pros, 1 con. It is a Honda.

yeah i was afraid someone was going to say that. yeah i dont think ill be getting one. will be selling my fto soon

I think the only con of that car in comparison to an FTO would be the engine/exhaust note, and the interior (if you don't count the Recaro seats).

Otherwise I think you'll be amazed by it. It's definitely a big step forward from the FTO as far as handling and even speed goes, and the amount of aftermarket and information there is out there is vast

I reckon the DC2Rs have a fantastic engine and exhaust note. The B18C is fantastic and a well modded one will run rings around many cars.

It is however a very similar car to the FTO. Why not something different gpx000?

even bearing a Honda badge, they r not invincible. Like the FTO, the age and mileage is likely to have lots of wear and tear.
Performance wise, its more superior to fto and yeah i agree with bushido, time to look for something a little different? Maybe an S15?

Yeah, the Teg is a true track car but i still reckon the FTO is the better looking car

Thats for sure!!!!!

Yes the FTO looks very nice until the rear end shows. I don't know how a car which looks so promising from the front can look so hideous from the rear. So in my opinion a DC2R is still an overall better looking car.

Though as mentioned why not try something new? I was also going to recommend an S15, or Evo

haha in my area s15 and evos are WAY too common, no exaggeration there. its like 'who doesnt have an s15/evo' haha.
i just assume the type r was a good choice since its one of the best front wheel drive cars.

thanks for your opinions

How about a project? Old school Suzuki works alto? 500cc 3cly turbo iirc. 0-100 time is the same as the FTO?

Type R Integra isn't one of the best FWD cars, it's THE best FWD car...
I think today people will argue that the Focus RS took that title but in my opinion Type R is still better

You see I completely disagree, I find the dc2rs blatantly ugly and I love the ftos front and back. The dc2r shape has aged, while the Fto refuses to. People still don't believe it's a 90s car, they all guess early 2000s
So each to their own I guess

Forget about teg-R. Import an FD2R.
That thing goes around the track faster and even beating the RWD s2000.
Simply amazing for a FWD 4-door saloon.

The Euro type R is crap though.

Raf, what about a dc5r? Are u staying the n/a way?

as much as i love hondas, we r only getting watered down versions here. so let us boycott them...
u know thats not going to happen...given all the import charges, it could be enough to buy an evo already.

The type r will get murdered by the most performance fwd cars mate. Maybe 10 years ago it was the best. A bog stock xr5 would probably eat a type r while doing it with comfort.

why is this thread still alive???!!!

cos you can never end the debate of how good a typeR is.

no i cant, but moderators can
