I have side-mount rails inbound at the end of the month and offer Recaro, Sparco & OMP seats.

And I've done the research, know what fits, and have a Sparco Roadster myself. =)

 

Simply speaking it was great! The feeling i got was like it was a "point and click" car. Point steering there it will obey and go there...Point elsewhere suddenly and it will go there as well. i-Vtec is deceptively fast as the torque spread is wider than than the 2-stage in the S2000. In stock trim though it does not give the fire-ry feeling of the S2000 in terms of chassis and drop top feeling. But for what it is... the DC5-R is a great sports couple, with alot of potential! I expect great things from this car...

 

I was looking at New Zealand Honda's website...and seems to me that their DC5-R and JDM is quite different....JDM redlines at about 8500 RPM..NZ's DC5-R at 7900 RPM which is same as USDM RSX-S.

About horse power: i have no clue what 147 Kw @ 7400 rpm means to us it might be 200 HP or less?

But I am sure Type R has much better suspension setting than RSX-Type S. So, I guess you didn't really experienced PURE JDM DC5-R but close.

IT SUCKS HOW HONDA STRIP DOWNS THEIR CAR FOR EXPORT....I WOULD THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT BETTER IF YOU WANT TO EXPORT ..BUT APPARENTLY ...SOME smally/tinny...Japanese Guys decided..to keep good stuff for them self

yeah, but you gotta have the body of those damn wannabe lifeguards in "Bay Watch" to fit in that Mugen seat! those of us with bodies more like Jay Leno will need WIDER seats

 

well, I'm small framed <160lbs./5'8" and riding in the Mugen seat, I will say I still have some play on the sides of the back - I dig the seat, but it also is 'pinchy'. Rich, this is a hint that you should work on some situps/crunches and get back into shape! Your 30's are knockin!
