Honda Integra Dc5 VS silvia s15

[subsevend]

I m considering to get either a DC5 or silvia s15 NA.In terms of pricing of parts,maintenance,stabilility,durability of the car and the resell value,which
one will be better?and which car gets broken into more or stolen?tx to all the
sifus for adavance advises! Hope i can decide ..

hi there

why s15 NA though? and not the boosted one

 

[csl]

S15 with turbo is better. If you don't hand itchy and start modding here and there, it is quite ok. I regret for buying a NA car

 

[tofu_manic]

TS, must consider the testimony from csl, haha

there are also a couple of chassis bracings which u dont get in the NA version, and if im not mistaken the NA lsd is viscous? the boosted one gets the better helical diff

things can get hairy pretty quickly in the wet with the s15 if youre not careful with the right foot

upping the power in the sr20det s15 is easier as well, parts are relatively cheaper, new/used parts are easier to find, and many chassis parts are shared with the s14

maintenance, just do regular oil change at proper intervals

dc5, dunno much

subsevend, are u the one who drove a 180sx? name seems to ring a bell hehe

 

[subsevend]

thanks 4 d info so far

tofu maniac:yup,the 180sx converted to ferrari like.after 10 months,i ve decided that i need a car.A bmw seems to be under "banyak makan wang" and "bring many worries" category else i would love 2 get a BMW325ci.after much thought,and i ve got 2 years to end my twenties,i want a car that is fast,cheap,reliable and if anyone breaks into my car the only thing he should be able to steal is the player.I dont even want to change the computerbox.i want something less problem preferably NA,where i dont need to look at all the meters and drive.I m highly considering DC5 but people say very expensive the parts.i love to keep my car beautiful and i m not good at the technicals of the car.After 2 years lets say i get married which i definitely will,i would want to sell the car if my wife to be is not keen with these type of cars...so any advice?

Subsevend,

I've previously owned an S15 Spec R and I've only got good things to say about it. If you can get your hands on a well maintained one, it shouldn't be any problem. Nissan engines are built tough and can take some serious beating (ok ,moderate). The car never failed on me.

As for the DC5, it surely reigns the NA world and can, at times, give the TC-ed counterparts a run for their money. My brother owns one and it sure is a breeze to feel all that V-Tec kicking.

Maintenance wise,yes, TC-ed cars cost a little bit extra, but G-Force is just sheer pleasure:proud:

In summary, both cars are from different leagues but fun in their own respective ways. That's from my experience anyways.

Just follow your heart & make your decision

Happy hunting
