DC5R: The Journey from Stock

If your deciding to run spacers. Keep in mind that it supports your car, so you'd like to get a decent reputable brand. But bear in mind, that any accidents resulting failure from spacers will not be covered by insurance. Also they are very dangerous to use on track thats if you intend to.

It is a defect and not ADR approved. Like with many of the modifications we do

Haha ok you've changed my mind completely

I would definiately get a reputable branded spacer. Alot of cars especially time attack cars use spacers. so spacers are safe.

However, you have stock wheels right? just get aftermarket wheels with a lower offset. WIN WIN!

Can't wait to Kpro this baby, after all the mods it already feels great and faster, can't imagine how it would feel with a Kpro.

Man i got Kpro and im so happy..i got 133 ATW ...Vtec point set at 4300..the power is so smooth! id recommend it 100%..btw i only have Injen CAI nothing else done to my motor

Skunk2 gearknob was the first mod I did on my type s

Simple little thing and it makes shifting feel a lot nicer

Ok maybe you're steering me back into the line of spacers.. What are some reputable brands? H&R, Ichiba - are they ok? I know H&R are quite reputable but how about Ichiba, they're a tad cheaper.

I have to agree.... See photos below

So true man, plus it matches the interior so well whilst keeping the feel OEM. I love mine to death, feels so good baby ohhh yeah








So a bit of an update..... I GOT KPRO BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I drove to Glen Waverly to get my Kpro installed by another user, he was super helpful and put everything in for me. Got a pretty good price and swapped a few parts to make the price even cheaper, so I'm happy!!!

I couldn't originally feel much of a difference with just the base map so on the freeway I decided to pull over, roll a smoke, then see what this thing could do..


OOOOOMMMMMMMFFFFFG HOLY BALLS, i didn't know how to react, it made SUCH a fkn difference in acceleration!!!!!! I'm so god damned happy with this! I couldn't believe I was actually driving my own car, it accelerated like a whole different puppy and sounded FKN SWEEET!!!! I couldn't stop laughing after I went 0-100

i only have used H&R. like i just said ... buy aftermarket wheels before opting for spacers.

I'd like to stick with stock wheels for a few reasons though
a.) Tyres are a shit tonne cheaper
b.) I want it lookin bog stock
c.) Bog stock = sleeper status hehehe

I think I'll settle for H&R as you vouch for them and they've got pretty good reviews.

Man there's so much to learn about K-pro!!! I just don't know where to start hahaha
I have to go to Honda tomorrow and get the immobilizer and ECU all connected, will all Honda dealers do this?

[stevan]

very nice! you will be equally impressed when you get it tuned

[Pizzo321]

Now tune

[etherealfall]

WOW! in the time I've had my car, I haven't even come close to the amount of mods you have done to yours! Can't wait to see the results of your tune

[Peachy]

Thanks for all the comments guys I can't wait to tune it too, however, I'm thinking that before I get it tuned I should do the RBC intake manifold and hondata IMG....

Whatcha reckon?
a.) Get it tuned
b.) Spend $400 on RBC and IMG THEN get it tuned?

You think the RBC is worth it? I've read some pretty good things about it, especially in combination of the IMG

[etherealfall]

seems it likes worth it? that's waht i would do when i get up to that stage.

also, how much harsher of a ride is the RSDs compared to stock?

Hehe yeah I think it may be worth it as well, it's pretty damned cheap as well considering the potential gains.

As for the RSDs, I have it setup pretty harsh, I think 8 front and 10 in the rear and its damn bloody stiff hahaha. GF hates it, but I've gotten use it, and I have much more room to soften things up when I can be bothered.
And they are fantastic coilovers apart from it clunking around the shock body, will take it back to the installer soon to check it out.

Your certainly modding really quickly, not that its a bad thing. RBC before tune if you already have your heart set on it. If you have money to blow, then RRC ported, ivac made available and water neck cut to fit k20a2.
