Its all in the mind Harv. After selling on my 05 for a 99 ATR, I keep thinking the poor things gonna go pop :lol: :lol:
I can confirm that Old Skool VTEC is indeed much better than all this i-VTEC stuff (*ducks and runs for cover!!) and I'm looking forward to my first outing on a track somewhere
Oh and the method to get oer the feeling of impending doom every time I use a lot of right foot - fitted my ICE yesterday and now I can't heard the H22A& under the bonnet

Can't believe some of you think that a car made in 1998-99 makes it old school?! Just get over it, the dc2 may look dated but they were put together way better than the ep3s were.
Forget ep3 and dc5 (not driven a dc5, but I've heard they're bland and dull in comparison to better b-series Hondas)... go for a dc2, you will NOT look back, I promise.
Just don't be one of those "oh I have to get a dc5 now that I've had an ep3 because it's a NATURAL PROGRESSION LOL" types
Had a blast in my friend's CR-X SIR import yesterday, it's a 1989 car with B16A and some good mods and LSD... so much fun you can't imagine

That would be a beasty and it's so light you wouldn't miss the low down torque - has anyone done that conversion as I think the money involved would be better spent on tuning the B18?

I am happy with my change from a CTR to a DC2. It saved me money, and I reckon in 6 months time my 2000 (W) DC2 will be worth more than my old 53 CTR the way prices are plummeting!
The roads where I live are pretty much all B and A roads, narrow and twisty. For me, the DC2 suits this better than the CTR did. However, if I lived in an area where I regularly used a dual carriageway/motorway etc... then I think I would miss my CTR a lot more!
I was worried about changing a 53 reg car for an older car, which is partly why I searched long and hard for a late model DC2 with low mileage. In the end I bought mine with 47K miles, registered July 2000. But TBH, as long as you buy sensibly, with a good history, and older UK car shouldnt be a problem (cant comment on imports).
Also I bought mine through a Honda dealer, which meant I paid a bit more, but I was also able to wangle a great deal on a 15 month Honda warranty, just for peace of mind :wink:
