Difference between the Models. 98 - 00

[xntrik]

I dont mean to sound like an idiot or anything, Im sorry if this question may have been raised before already, but I am looking to buy a DC2-R,

But I do not know the differences (if there are differences) between a 1998 DC2-R model to a 2000 DC2-R model.

And is there a 2001 model? o_O;
Can someone care to explain?

Is there unique differences that you can identify the two models apart?

No flaming please :x

Thanks in regards.

don't think there is much or any difference through the dc2r range (nothing performance wise anyways).

and yes there is a 2001 model dc2r.

[daz]

did a quick search and the 2001 has a different intake cam to 99-00.

dc2r was first released in 99. the r' replaced the vtir

did a quick search and the 2001 has a different intake cam to 99-00.

Any major difference?

Intake part# - 14111-PCT-000
Exhaust part# - 14121-073-J00

Quoted from Honda dealer in bris

[spoondc2r]

still not a officially documented info though...
sorry, couldn't help much...

[tinkerbell]

yeah, that is all i have to go on...

but i still cant work out why if they are the same part number - why the cam ends are different...?



internet sites are helpful, but i want to hear it from Honda Motor Co....

[spoondc2r]

They are b18c5 00-01 ITR cam right? I think we had the same spec as UK or EU so maybe different.

So annoying... why there are so many b18c(?) around the world? 1,2,5,6 and 7

[xntrik]

So your saying the type-r was first released in 99 for AUDM, but why are there '1998' models around? And so the only difference between the '00 models and the 98-99 models is the camshaft and exhaust?

I was looking for a 2000 model to purchase, but it tends that theyre heaps more rare to find, and 2001? I didnt even know they existed!

Im still confused, sorry if i sound like a noob :x
