i do believe those tires make a big difference...i ...but am sure they must have improve the handling too..

 

[fenomeno26]

i have a feeling that car looks better in person than photos...just like the DC5.

 

[Decklogic1]

:cry: I would settle for actually receiving my DC5.

Cheer up allan,

Once the car is safely resting on your drive - the seemingly long wait will be all but a distant memory!! :wink:

Basic answer = no, they are made in only 1 size, for this civic, NSX and a certain wheel type on an EVO..

225/40/18 i think.

Very interested in these RE070's though, they available in Dc5 fitment?

Yeh, i would be interested in the tyres also. :lol:



Paul :wink:

 

[keevster]

Ah, that answers that question :lol:


Cheers


Paul :wink:

 

[dan the man]

Those tyres are on scoobs too in 17 dont forget. Ive seen them and drove the scoob with them on, one of the best tyres ive ever tried. :shock:

 

[Raffe]

I want some :x :x :x :x :lol:

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Sounds very promising 8)

Blue with dark wheels with a few options would be nice.

*Goes to tell the missus she might be moving back in with her rents & selling the flat :lol: *

Good write up and pics, Whats this cars OTR price?...does look very nice and will be interested in the future, although can't help thinking if they can do that with a run of the mill Civic, would love to see Honda give there engineers and designers free reign to come up with a new Teg.

True enough Stu but i think we all conceded a few months ago that this is Hondas new Dc5.....

Sad but true - they could have easily called this a Teg rather than a civic but i guess the civic is the flagship name...

Is this the end of the Integra???

I dont think so - but i dont think anything will be happening with the Integra Type R now for a few years at least...

time will tell i guess, but until then - this is the new DC5!!

Does anyone have any theories as to why a Type R was made with 4 doors??? I just can't get my head round this :?

Maybe they discovered the 4 door had a stiffer shell, therefore making it better on track.

Also more appealing to families.

It is also not the 1st 4 door type R. I would rather have 4 doors

 

[iwantdc5]

but i believe this is the first "JDM"(proper) 4 door Type R.

because the Accord Type R was only EU market?

I think Honda wants a car in the Evo/Subraru market?

I am not so sure as it would need a lot more power to enter into that market IMO but could easily be a leader in the one its intended for :wink:

What about the DB8? :?

 

[iwantdc5]

haha oh yeah livvy! my bad....

then I guess maybe it is because it is got a good chassis or something

 

[PORTHOS]

Beast! and you are one LUCKY guy!

I'm liking the Jap Civic Type-R, much better than the crappy looking one we get! (Imo of course!, lol) I've had my fill now of Hatchbacks.

 

[conoroneill]

Don't think so. It's still only FWD.

I see what you mean style-wise though. It looks like a cross between an Evo 8 and a Vauxhall Vectra. Doesn't do it for me personally.
