My 2nd DC2R Honda Integra Type R

[apparition]

It's Great that you are enjoying the DC2R Justin! Shows that a 10 year old car can still be just as fun as the newer cars!

Have you considered getting some nice coilovers and camber kit as the next mod to compliment the work you have just done to refreshing the suspension? That would make it even more fun to drive!

[felixR]

Awesome update. If I had a stock DC2R, I would follow a very similar refresh program.

Keep it up!

Camber kit perhaps to dial in negative in the rears but coilovers just not sure as it's a can of worms!!! If I install coilovers I'll no doubt lower the car some, then I won't be able to fly over speed humps (one of the most exhilarating feelings ever I swear haha!). I'd also then have to buy a Mugen intake, Spoon headers, a Fujitsubo RM01A exhaust... !!!

I'm thinking HID's next for better night time vision, maybe a short shifter too for more notchy goodness.

Yup...I'm headed down that slippery slope. Went to JDMYard today to pick up braided brake lines and ended up adding a Spoon filter to the purchase and enquiring about a full HardRace replacement.

And on the way home, started thinking about a lightened flywheel...

Most new cars aren't fun to drive at all. Dsg this and automatic that

Lucky cats @ JDMyard.


Couldn't get my eyes off these amazing 15inch TE37Vs, love the step lip design, so aggressive!


JDMyard HID kit.

HID ballast, expertly tucked out of sight by the crew at JDMyard.


All done. Not too blue, just a tinge, more a bright white.


The boys were way too quick installing a Buddy Club short shifter. Pictured here the OEM shifter in the Buddy Club shifter box (for me to take away).


A Hardrace camber kit was installed too in case I want to dial in more negative camber in the rear.


I couldn't resist buying this Honda Access Aroma Moment air freshener. What an awesome little gizmo. It plugs into your cigarette lighter and emits a fresh fragrance (there's a switch to turn it off, on, and there's a super strong mode too). I got the 'pure herb' scent, it's awesome.


In situ.

I'm thinking I want to take Mondays off now that I work Saturdays @ Zen Garage. I don't mind Mondays, people tend to be a little less furious on the roads which seem quieter, maybe because a lot of people take the day off or leave work earlier.

Strangely though, Monday's are one of the busiest days for me. Heaps of emails to go through and lots of weekend online orders to pack and send so this morning I ended up getting to work just to pack and send orders made over the weekend. After that was done I dropped in to JDMyard again to do a few more things to the Type R.

In keeping with the 'freshen it up' theme I installed a JDMyard HID kit, a Buddy Club short shifter kit, Hardrace rear camber kit and I bought an air freshener too.

JDMyard HID kit:
The OEM lights are crazy weak, especially at night with all this rain we're getting. I went for the JDMyard HID kit. It's cheap, and comes with a massive 2 year replacement warranty (major deciding factor for me as I've had an aftermarket HID kit die on me before) and damn it's bright!!!

Buddy Club short shifter:
A guy with a DC2 came in to Zen last Saturday, he had a Buddy Club short shifter installed. I had a go and loved it instantly. Super notchy, reminds me a lot of the S2K shift feel so I had to have it.

Hardrace camber kit:
Rears are pretty upright at stock height. I got these installed in case I want to adjust rear camber down the line.

Honda Access air freshener:
Old car, not quite old smells, but I couldn't resist this gadget!

[fr4n]

The air freshener sounds cool bro
What flavors are there?

[Oz Striker]

Lol pure herb scent, super strong mode must get you high or something lol

Nice work refreshing some tired parts on the car mate

More than a second quicker than my last outing. I’m happy with that.


My DC2R still blows my mind. 177,000kms and still hitting redline like there’s no tomorrow. She did break down though, wouldn’t start from the pits. Thanks to the boys we push started her for one more session (didn't want to spin out and stall though lol) and on the way home I dropped in to Top One for a new battery (since we all thought it was a flat battery). It turned out to be a loose alternator cable (thanks Dedy at TOP ONE AUTO for the quick fix, what a legend!).

Yessss I fucking love Private Track Days. Many more pics: http://zengarage.com.au/2012/06/private-track-day-2/

Awesome DC2R! A build like this is something I plan on doing.

What color temperature and wattage are the HIDs?

Back at JDMyard to remove 2 of the 3 Hardrace engine mounts. The vibrations were getting to me, she's perfect now!
