To contribute to this discussion. Keep in mind that gear ratios for FD2-R are for the first 3 gears 4% shorter and for the last 2 gears 1% longer. That being said and taking into consideration that the new R weighs 1270kgr, I'd expect to be pretty similar in terms of acceleration with the DC5...

Bad situation. Hope you all the best and with a new teg soon.

xredfinger nice way to start as forum members.

Why don't you use the search function? I'm sure you can find quite a lot of photos.

I feel your pain Lee, but our time will come soon. And then see u on the track guys!! :wink: :wink:

The Injen CAI is a top value for money choice with very good gains.

As other people mentioned here both systems are VERY good. It all goes down to value for money and i believe that Injen is the best. It costs far less than a gruppe m and the gains are pretty good. Only thing is that it sits low enough so you have to be careful with standing water on the road.

Ok I agree with you about the hairdressing comment!!! I believe that S is a car that demands commitment in order to extract the best out of it and indeed a fabulous car generally. But not comparable with the DC5. P.S Everyone can express their view freely but it's the road or track that shows...

More focused in what??? How can you judge people knowledge and experience without knowing them? :evil: :evil: :evil:

I agree with you that in a S2K is more difficult to take the best out of the car than in a FWD drive but that doesn't change that it is sport car. Additionaly DC5, if I'm not wrong , is officialy imported as a normal coupe only in US (under the brand Acura) and it has nothing to do with the...

Although the two cars have similar performance they can't be easily compared, since they belong in two different categories. DC5 is a more racing car than the S2000. That's why and their name R vs. S. In my opinion both car are fabulous. Moreover if you want to compare two cars you let the same...

It's market and the competition that makes cars cheaper. That's how cars depreciate. Everyone should understand that cars generally lose in value as times passes by and in our case it's the japanese currency that worsen things. NOTHING or NOBODY can change that!!!!!

Hi, There is already another relevant topic: http://www.itr-dc5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10325 You should post your question there in order to keep the active topics to a minimum needed

A reasonable buyer will always do a market research before concluding from where to buy his DC5, therefore I still believe that there should be two different sections (Trade and Private), so that anyone can advertise his car either as private either as professional. This will make things easier...

You are a sincere guy Andy. Well said mate xthumbup . I agree with your proposal about two different sections one for private and one for trade.

We can't be sure for anything, till is officially tested by the various magazines. But for one thing I hope that the Japanese didn't lose their touch in making sport cars. I hope and wish that is faster and better than the car it replaces, but I don't think it will be comparable to the DC5.

Has anyone tried endeless brake kits? They are pretty popular in other countries http://www.endless-brake.info/pdf/2006-07_brochure.pdf

maybe a little off topic, but i'll ask. Did anyone face any problems with the gruppe m on rainy days. What should you do to protect your engine under such conditions? Cheers, Giannis

I haven't yet, but he will be the first one to ask. He is very friendly and helpful.

It depends what you want. In my opinion though the RX8 doesn't deserve the money that you pay. Futhermore if you want a rear wheel drive why not prefer the better set up that S2000?
