If I was a millionaire, I would buy it. That thing is rare AF.

essentially a LHD version of the NSX type S

man. thats my favorite spec !

You can have any colour as long as it is red.

Yes cars are still selling.

Anyone here experience brake squeal on there FK8? I'm thinking about swapping the front pads to Hawk HPS, just wondering if anyone here has experience with these and can comment on the noise and brake dust first hand.

Don't have a FK8, but I daily drive Hawk HP+ pads which are the more aggressive version of the HPS. HP+ are loud (they squeal like a train) and dusts heavily. However, good initial bite and they work in the cold. I imagine if the HP+ work in the cold, you should be safe with the HPS. From other reviews I've read HPS/HPS 5.0 are pretty crappy daily driving pads. Crappy pads in general - they're not good at anything. However, these reviews were mostly on BMW platforms (heavy car). A friend uses HPS/HPS 5.0 on his EG and he thinks they're great, so YMMV. Having said all that, I recently found out that Hawk compounds are corrosive and are not the best for your daily driven cars, especially if you don't wash it often or you want to keep your wheels in good condition.

A much more expensive option without corrosive brake dust would be Carbotech. Interestingly, if you run their street pads and then switch to track pads, you won't have to rebed your rotors.

I'm not sure if it's made for FK8 fitment, but many people have great reviews about Akebono brake pads. Low dust and no noise.

Hope that kind of helps!

Since this is the Type R thread, might as well post it here.

I'm looking for another fun car and the DC5 type R has always been my fave in terms of looks over the DC2.

Anyone here owns one? Some tips on what to check for? I've been in contact with some imports and their choices aren't that great, grade 3 or lower.

I replaced my oem pads with R1 concepts ceramic pads. Installed them myself, super easy.
No embarrassing squeaking, and brake dust is non existent :-)

The stock BRAKES drove my wife nuts on the FK8.
tried to bed as best as possible and she still doesnt like it.
i swapped it with HAWK.. it is just the front brakes..

it is because.. race car brakes.. not dust

I haven’t owned one but the owner of this car just dropped the price from $18k to 16k. She has a lot of great Type R cars including DC2R and EP3R. If you don’t mind RHD they are a great choice.

Nice ended up getting Akebonos locally and putting them in today. I can feel the bite definitely isn't as good as stock but its quiet. I'll hang onto the stock pads if I ever get to do autocross or track day.

Also: DC2R aftermarket parts for sale

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rch...107307371.html

aside from LSD and slightly higher output...they're mechanically similar to the rsx and ep3 civic so they share common issues (gear popouts, leaky trunk, dash rattles and lock actuator going)

they're the rx8 to the rx7, living in the shadows of the original ITR which means more affordable entry but much weaker resale..the one posted has been for sale for at least a year now (would imagine the buyers in the market would rather get a rsx-s for 2-3x less)

Just throwing it out there looking to buy an exhaust and intake for my FK8, hopefully someone here is looking to sell some parts off of their Type R

The difference with K20A is more than just LSD, just the tranny alone is worth it compare to the K20A2 or the k20A3 you mentioned.

Speaking of which i have DC5 RHD Mugen intake box if anyone is interested :spamarama:

Spotted: CW CTR with red window banner going south on oak today at 11:45am. Tried to give you the thumbs up but you were busy mean-muggin’ at the red light. (I was in the flex not my RS).

Love the carbon rear wing, what is that?

og owner, neatt
14k hit on an integra and not a write-off :fuckyea:

CR originally from Honda's US HQ recently sold for too much

https://www.automobilemag.com/news/2...auction-price/

Fuck I remember back in 2009-2010 unsold S2000 CR's were all over Autotrader.com for under MSRP..........................

They had trouble selling! Most people hated the spoiler and tonneau cover look. The ITR also languished on lots.
Now both are hot commodities.

OG owner bought in 2002 with free dealer installed AC. Talked to him last night. Great kswap track car candidate.

CR came out at the peak of the last recession, they were being moved at around 25k new

maybe in a year this japanese collectors' bubble will burst and rx7 and supra will be available at less insane coin
