I dont think they are that they have the guts to do so, as they are closely monitored. Further more u can report it if its fake and the penalty is totally not worth it for them to do it..:biggrin:

anyone here who using superpro bushing for their car? mind to share your input? cost and review perhaps? i know some is using it....please share..i'm thinking to install it
 
hasukyo,
i'm not too sure abt DC5Rs/FD2Rs but according 2 my track sifu who races an EG6,he warned me against using teflon/poly bushes like Superpro or Energy...reason being they r TOO stiff whc will upset ur suspensions' supposed geometry/movement.......hard rubber is d way 2 go...reputable tuners like Mugen & Spoon only uses hard rubber bushing 4 their race cars....n as per my sifu,dis hard rubber bushings r more comfortable compared w d poly/teflon type....
i think Hard Race has d items ur looking 4 ur car....n no lar..dis is not a promotion.just sharing wat i know..
cheers

Why dont you try HKS Super N/A.

Akuma is right. 'hard rubber' from Mugen contain less % of polyurethane. superpro has higher % of PU. dont go for teflon as it is too hard, hardest among PU and 'hard rubber'.

ive installed superpro for front lower arm only coz the original honda bushing can only stand for 2 + months (after i change the suspension sys). Handling is sharper, car is abit harsher on bumpy road. some people cannot stand it. a friend of mine change back to original bushing. worth of changing it.
 
Been using this for the past 2 oil change, so far so good. Will stick to this for the next one.

last time went to track with mugen rev oil..engine feel light and always want to rev up.but the price quite exp zzz.

price is roundabout the same as 300V.

its a premium oil, and most premiums cost roughly the same.

wonder who mugen is taking their oils from though, because i'm pretty sure its just "rebranded" from some other brand.

the good part is "Integra Type R" is listed on the packaging. +10 confidence points. :biggrin::biggrin:

stiff bushing does not affect handling, it is the natural substance fo the material that caused the problem.
PU being a sticky substance, causes the biggest handling problem by binding. during movement our suspension arm moving up and down the bushing suppose to allow twisting movement and being sticky, PU will bind and when forced to rotate, it iwll start wearing by grinding against the arms. thats why PU bushes always give out annoying "yik yik" sound. the sound not just annoying, it means your bushes is starting to wear. another problem of binding is that it will create a lifting effect insted of planting.

The problem with DC5 basic mcstruct set up is lack of front end feel or lack of feedback to driver.
The ultimate setup for DC5 / EP3 / ES is t installed offset front lower arm pillow ball bushing together with roll centre adjuster. The "offset" bush will increase castors that not just allow more outside wheel camber angle, but also increase steerign feel. RCA is neccessary to counter roll, as mcstruct setup does not allow high spring rate (unless single purpose race car), RCA will help to reduce roll.

As for the tie rod end problem, hardrace is currently R&D a up right tie rod end to solve the lowered car toe setting problem as well as ..............just wait for it to arrive and test it yourself.

thanks for the feedback bro, i see alot of track car is using pillowball bushing + RCA, since
pillowball is not suitable for street , coz it will also give u annoying sound ,
dats y i'm thinking if PU is the alternate solution. well, maybe i'll just get the tierod end..
when it's coming out anyway?
 
There are quite a few DC5/EP3 running hardrace pillow ball front lower arm as well as EK and EG on street car. Noise is not really an issue if installed properly. Hardrace pillow ball are either delrinn lined or cover with rubber dust boot.
The tie rod end should be out in 3 -4 months time as the factory has just begin to R&D.
 
eh guys... my stock gearknob is quite scuffed up.. so thinking to change to the Skunk2 weighted knob.

does anyone know if the Skunk2 knob is heavier than the stock Type-R? Its rated at 440gms, but i cant find anything on how much the stock knob weighs....

Any ideas?

oh also, our Type-R's come stock with a "short shifter" right?

would it be worth it to change it out for lets say a Skunk2 Short Shifter? Would the gear throw distance be reduced further, or is it the same?

Hi guys, couple of questions about the DC5's privacy glass.

Is it just a layer of dark tint on regular glass or is the glass itself black? I was told by the car dealer that during puspakom inspection, they will remove it to pass the test, so am I to guess that it's the former?
In that case, when removing the tint, will it have any effects on the demister/radio antenna?
Does it also mean that when we do window tinting, the 3 rear windows don't have to be tinted?

Lastly, does JPJ give you guys any trouble over it?

Hope you folks can help. Thanks!
