My Honda integra type r (dc2)

[samwise77]

Hi all , Just thought id introduce myself and my current car as well as some of my old ones . As most of you will of guessed im Sam and i live in Somerset

My current car is this year 2000 integra type r which i got for a bargain price!

This is what the car looked like when i got it



and this is how it looks now




This car is ALOT of fun!! so nimble and just always feels like its egging you on! during my ownership i have had the car undresealed , attacked and rust cured the inner aches ,refitted a set of original wheels and done a good service i have also replaced the exhaust system with a jdm system including manifold and oem airbox both of which have made a difference to the way it drives in a good way !!

As well as the teg i have a project lexus is200 which i got mega cheap due to it being a insurance write off , the current plan is to turn it into a drift car for me to learn in although that might change in September (more on that in my next post)



Over the years im lucky to say i have had some interesting cars mostly Jap stuff


Honda Accord areodeck





Honda S-MX (anyone see a pattern here)




Honda De sol Sir import (last Honda i promise )




Porsche 924




Merc 190e (rat look , yes i did have a mental stage)




There has been more but 1, i cant be arsed to type anymore and 2 , i cant find pics ,

Looks like a good one now you have made those small changes.

I've had my DC2 for nearly 8 years now and it has remained un-modified, but I am starting to think about a JDM exhaust system. What sort of difference has it amde to the way it drives?

[samwise77]

Thanks for all the comments, the biggest change i ve noticed since changing the exhaust is a improvement in throttle response and i will say the car does feel quicker i am yet to get the car on a rolling road or engine test so cant clarify any numbers but from the reaerach i did i should of gained 5-10hp weather i have remains to be seen but its 100% a worth while change i would say. Do bear in mind it will mean changing the cat as well as they are shorter and a different bore , hope that helps
