    DC5 Rod through block

    I assume he may be talking about people over revving the motor thus putting a hole in the block. In alot of cases here in the states some will mis-shift thier car. And will mistakenly go from 3rd gear at redline to 2nd while aiming for 4th gear. It happens, and during that instant the engine...

    Race Header on DC5R? what works?

    The one that is available locally was from an EP3 with a K20A motor. I hope it works, the car is wicked fast so the header should help a bit. :) Thanks for all the help guys. :)

    Race Header on DC5R? what works?

    Thanks mike, I looked as well and thought I was going crazy or blind for not seeing anything. My friend was looking into either the DC sports Race header, or SSR. Well my main concern was if it would clear the ITR sway bar and not have any clearance issues, but by the posts made it seems both...

    Race Header on DC5R? what works?

    Very much appreciated Mikegsi. I run a type S down here in Arizona and track the hell out of it so my knowledge on a type S is good, but when it comes to fitment of certain parts on to a DC5R I know some problems might occur due to fitment and space issues regarding the sway bar and such so I...

    How 2 change g/box oil?

    Its the bolt right above the drain bolt. You should be able to insert your ratchet without a socket and turn it.

    Is the RSX Type S the same as the DC5?

    The skunk2 exhaust is ok, it will sit very high on and be really close to your rear lip. You will have to purchase extended rubber hangers to let the exhaust sit a little lower thou.

    DC5R guys, Q about rear offset?

    Well I installed a ITR setup on my friends RSX-S and it looks even. If you only do the front it will be very noticable. The front wheels will be lined up with the fender where as the rear wheels will be sunken in more.

    Your opinion on suspension?

    From what I have read it sounds like you just want you negative camber to angle a bit more on the positive side giving you that straight look instead of the negative camber look. I would look into an eibach rear camber kit which allows you to adjust camber (+3/-3) degrees of camber...

    DC5R guys, Q about rear offset?

    You will need to do either on of two things. 1. purchase the rear ITR hub assembly which is easy to install or 2. purchase a 15mm spacer for your rear wheels. Both work, but honestly I'd go with the ITR rear conversion as well to complete the itr brake set up. If you do not do either the rears...

    Facelift change on a 02 DC5

    Actually you will need bumper, hood, head light suppor brackets for front, rear bumper, rear tail lights , along with front head lights. Its a lot of cash just to look like a 05+ DC5R..I prefer the 02 still more myself. New DC5R looks to much like a civic.
