Honda DC5 ,DC2 , Honda EP3 which one should I get ?

[meonster]

Performance oriented Honda cars are like that. You should take a look at those 2 door Civic EK. They are priced at around 50k to 70k even when they are not original EK9 Civic Type R. These EK are well above 10 years old.

hahaha, you're rite mate... this car never go below 40k if it legal ontheroad....

 

[udengfahlawi]

forget honda....buy Suprima S laaa....i heard in the ads the car is damn gooooddd.....

 

[jasontan8338]

Yup .. Type R arr expensive . what u say is totally true . Well, subaru are much cheaper comparing to Type R in malaysia . (Second hand price ) It's hard to find subaru spareparts in malaysia and this is not easy to take care ... Type R is different . U can easily find the spareparts and easy to mantain .. because NA mah

No poll ah?

i vote for the newer DC5 version, the backlight and headlamp straight version one.

Really damn fast man this car.
Saw twice at traffic light, really power plus the exhaust sound nice :top:

This car is a "chick magnet" ! Btw price of this car is expensive too

 

[udengfahlawi]

u sure kah DC5 is chick magnet?...i thought chicks go for "extremely modded" myvi n kenari?....

anyway, honda is always overpriced ler ...at least here is malaysia.....the price for that DC5 u can easily get a used Evo7/8 or Scooby....4WD with turbo summore....

Possible to go below 40k. For those EK hatchback that are still in stock condition but those are very rare.

Neo? Why not go for the old Satria. I'll show something at here. Even though this is not Satria, but it is still related.
Quickest Mitsubishi Colt AWD in germany 978HP & 871Nm - YouTube

But to achieve this, really a lot of money is needed. The money spent on doing this mod can get you a DC5 already I guess. Besides, 4G63T in Satria is now illegal and not to mention the 4WD setup. However, I think this video is an eye opener for people to see how far a modded Colt/Mirage can go.


Type R is expensive even for converted ones. Like EK9 for example. I've heard from people in this forum saying that original EK9 in Malaysia is not above 20 units. How true is this, I cannot confirm but this shows how rare an original EK9 is in Malaysia. The more common ori Type R are probably DC5 and FD2R. Oh ya, not forgetting CL7 and CL1 Accord Euro R as well.

Subaru is not exactly cheap as well. For the old GC8 Impreza, yes, that is quite cheap when you compare it to modded Civic EG and EK. GC8 can be found selling for around 40k plus to 50k plus. You'll get a near 300hp turbocharged boxer engine, 4WD layout and a cool looking frameless door in GC8 for around 50k. That's quite reasonable compared to the price of converted EK9 Civic. But whether what is worth the money or not, all this depends on individual preference.

For the expensive Subaru, just look at the price of Impreza WRX STI Version 9 S204 and Version 9 Spec C Type RA-R. Both of those are expensive when you compare them to their Mitsubishi counterparts, Lancer Evolution IX MR. However, you'll get a lot of good stuffs in both special versions of the WRX STI Version 9. Things like carbon fibre parts, larger brakes (I heard it is a 6 pot Brembo for Type RA-R), a stronger reinforced chassis and etc...

BTW, I'm a fan of Impreza WRX STI, so pardon me for going off topic and write too much about them on above.

But this is a converted DC2 Type R from a Integra GSR. At this price, perhaps it is better to find an ori Type R instead.

i tot this car was stolen last year and found not long after... sorry if i mistaken...

if u really want to play honda that bad, u better go with any model that comes with K-series engine laa...they are relatively newer than any of the B-series engines, hence won't be as badly worn out....plus it's a big improvement from the old B-series technology...n will last u longer also...if you're someone that is quite technically knowledgeable about engines and knows how to maintain and/or mod the B-series engine, then u can go for them DC2R or EK9....otherwise, i strongly recommend u go for DC5R, FD2R or EP3 laa....

DC5 is nto easy to loan now.. Maximum only five years i think . plus i have to pay a huge cash for downpayment ( this really making me kepala sakit) . And today I saw a S15 and price is RM72k . Im abit shocked with the price a turbo car is pricing rm72k ? And the seller told me this is the NA version .. is much cheaper than the turbo one .. Hmm I don't know about Nissan Silivia model.. S15 really got turbo and NA version ? 0.0

 

[pwhyze]

SIlvia Spec S is NA, Spec R is Turbo.

 

[jasontan8338]

SIlvia Spec S is NA, Spec R is Turbo.

So how many horsepower do NA version produce ?

Colt/Mirage is available in a wide variety of engine options. I'm not too sure about each and every one of them but I suppose the lower spec models share the same engine with Satria. The higher spec Colt/Mirage is available in 4G92 DOHC. If I am not mistaken, the most powerful Mirage/Colt back then would be the Mirage Cyborg R which is using the 4G92 MIVEC engine.

Ori DC2 Integra Type R is rare but I think you still can find it unlike EK9. That one is too rare.

B series engine I think should be okay if you can find the right workshop to service and maintain the engine. With so many B series Honda cars around the country, sourcing spare parts is not too difficult as well.

The NA SR20DE in Silvia Spec S produces maybe around 140-170hp. The turbocharged SR20DET in Silvia Spec R produces 250hp.

Maintenance and fuel consumption will be cheaper for the NA SR20DE of course.

And the manufacture year of the S15 are newest than the DC2 .

S15 is an rwd car while Evo and Subaru (assuming you are referring to Impreza WRX STI) are both 4WD machines so they will consume more fuel than S15 for sure. Besides, I think that Evo and WRX STI are running on higher boost compared to S15.

In regards to getting loan for a DC5R, I'd like to share my experience..

I got myself a 2005/08 facelift DC5R early this year. The car will cost about 106k or so.. max loan I got was around 90k over 7 years (you can dream on about getting a 9 year loan for a car this old)

So roughly you need about 18k cash in hand for the downpayment and insurance/road tax.

Imo, now is the best time if you are planning to go for it... once the car reaches 10 years++ then it would be pretty much impossible to get a loan. Good luck!

How was the interest rate ?
