DC2R from across the ditch .. ..

[flinch]

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick little hello from across the ditch, here in ol' New Zealand.
I've got a 96 Integra Type R, nothing special. I do have a build thread on NZHondas (although, a slow build thread), I will look at importing that thread over here so you guys can check up the progress.

Not a lot done to my car at this stage, its fairly stock, and its refreshing seeing a near original looking ITR these days here in NZ.

Welcome to ClubITR mate!

Where abouts in NZ are you?

[felixR]

Very nice!

Yes please share your build here

How much do the 96 and 98 DC2Rs go for in NZ?

Mint ride man! I got so jealous looking at the car listings over in NZ ><

thanks for the welcome guys.

I'm in the big smoke .. Auckland!

ITR's have become very very affordable, but are aging and its hard to find an original/near stock looking one these days.
96 specs, average price anywhere from $4.5k - $6.5k
98 spec in fairly tidy condition, anywhere up from approximately 8K-10K.

I'm trying to source some AUDM ITR tail lights for mine, when would I be able to get access to the parts section? (Do i need certain number of posts?)

Have owned quite a few Hondas now, mainly D series stockers just done up for looks, and always slammed, numerous civics, really in to my civics, eg sedans, hatches, ef, ek sedans/hatches, ej1, city turbos, this is my 3rd ITR, first ITR was H2B with 159kw atw. Also had a fully forged high compression b20 build with ITB's in an ek hatch - 165kw atw. Will post some pics of my past rides a little later as well.

I was over in Auckland in February, really nice city! I spotted a black DC5R driving around the city with the plates "Devil R". Funnily enough my cousin ended up buying it about two months ago, he lives in the Waitakere area.

Ahh yeah, I know the DEVIL R DC5. Seen it around quite a bit. I live in Waitakere City Area too.
I'm surprised the pricing of DC2's aren't that much over in Australia! (We don't have many bug eye Type R's in NZ at all, so its awesome to see that is the AUDM ITR is bug eye) - and well priced!

Friend of mine owns a DC5 with fully built K24 Turbo - around 450KW atw - insanely fast car, looks similar to DEVIL R as well, but my friends isn't a Type R model.

have now created build thread. Couldn't copy and paste exactly as it is on NZH as posting capability is limited on this forum, but just took out a few unneccessary pics!

yes we did get a few rare NZDM models just like the AUDM models like you guys, most of them yellow, a few red, one black, no white AFAIK - bugeye facelift and super rare, total count is around 10 NZDM's that were sold new in NZ.

Hey guys. Sorry for the absence.

Making a return. Ended up writing my ITR off and left the honda game for a while.

Just purchased another dc2, although not and ITR but just an SIR.

Anyone able to enable access to the parts section of the forum at all?

[flinch]

Looks like I've got access now when I look via desktop.

Heres a sneak peek at the new whip.
