Cams are in and remap on Thursday...just with the cams and exhaust alone she's pulling much harder and much more aggressive! Can't wait to see where the remap gets me!

Nice:cool:,reminds me when i put the same cams in my Sir Integra along with an ITR Ecu,throttle body and Toda cam pulleys,the torque was noticeably higher and it didn't cost an arm and leg.

Those B18s from the SiR take very well to mods, couple of simple mods will have them well in ITR territory

They still fall down on the handling though. A lad I know had a modded SIR and went to a standard Type R, said he couldn't believe the difference

Yeah SiR suspension needs to be upgraded allright, though your never gonna get the chassis stiffness of the ITR well unless you seam weld the chassis. still with some choice suspension mods they can be made very capable in comparison to an ITR.

I know one with an airbox and exhaust system that's putting out TypeR numbers. It's mad alright

I gather they'll take forced induction more easily too. Lower compression engine so more leeway. But yea, chassis wise it's another ballgame entirely.

A guy up north used to own it. There is a build thread on one of the forums, I must dig it out, it's worth a read. I saw the car in the metal once at a Honda meet in Portlaoise, it really was immaculate!
He sold it about a year or year and a half ago, I think it went across the water to England.

She's up for sale in England with a pretty hefty price tag. Still a cracking looking car and those yellow recaros are just :cool:.

If the price tag had been more reasonable, I would have been very very interested!

Testament1

Ya its a fantastic example of a car but that is still a shocking price for a DC2. I imagine they must have held their value a bit better in the UK to warrant a price like that.

My S2k. Bought last month. New decat pipe fitted, nothing else so far. More pics to follow, needs a wash first!

EDIT: Mugen front splitter and rear lip also.

Thats robs old one is it? That car had very high compression readings and we couldn't sus out what pistons were in it but they didn't seem to be standard SIR ones. It was crazy on the road.

When we stipped it for inspection,

projectgtr

Sure was he never mentioned the pistons to me, not sure where the car is now, i could have it mixed up but i think it could have been robbed after Amy sold it, like most of robs cars, i would have loved that SiR

Do you still work on Hondas or do you just work on stuff that interests you outside of your normal job?

Hey guys.
Going changing the car and I'm torn between a type s accord 2l petrol 08 or a dc5 integra. I have nearly made up my mind on the accord but is there anything specific that I should be looking out for?

Two completely different genre of car there.

They both, technically, have the same engine(k20) but their state of tune, power output etc etc is very different. The accord is 140hp from memory and the dc5 is 200-220 assuming its a type R your looking at.
Non type R's would be pretty rare here.

They are both very reliable if you get a well looked after one, the accord is a family saloon so is unlikely to have been abused like many dc5's will have been.

CptMackey

It would be the type r alright. Driven both of them. The integra is obvisouly more powerful after driving it. But they are way more powerful than my current 1.4 astra 80 odd bhp

Need to move that on given that it uses the ecotech engine

If you are not looking specifically for a performnace car then the accord might be a better option. Decent on fuel for the engine size, cheaper to maintain(properly), cheaper to insure, more practical, less likely to have hassle from garda or theives etc.

The Accord, especially in type S form, is a nice looking car, although have you looked at an accord euro R? Nice mix of dc5 and accord type s:P

TestTransmission

If only someone around here had a euro r for sale..
