So the mps's are faster than the integra? Obviously the 3 being way faster than the 6. What are the integras like handling wise? They are fwd arent they?

I've driven both and have the odd duel with a local dc5 and it totally holds its own up until around 85mph then the mps pulls on it.a beautiful car you've got mate and tie best colour.

DC2 to a 6, I can see why as they are different cars, and good for different reasons.

The DC5 no doubt handles better then the MPS i think when they were both tested on Tsukuba the DC5 was about 0.8 faster In gear or in a line the MPS won't have any issues with an integra, you the have the great spec and another 40bhp is available for little money

An ITR is without doubt more fun standard car against standard car The big difference is, with some very light modding (decent dampers, rear ARB & tyres) an MPS will not be so far behind a DC5 in the twisties, and since it's so much faster [in gear] on the straight, the simple truth is a DC5 would loose the drag to the first corner and never be able to get past! Intake kit, decat and remap later an MPS is then a spec on the horizon. If the DC5 thing is what you want, you could always rip out the hifi, rear seats and sound proofing to shed 300kg, then bolt in chassis braces to give the stiffness to allow you to go more aggressive on the suspension. Add a Bilstein B16 kit with uprated fr & re ARBs and the result would be impressive
