anyone using the TEIN superstreet?

wanna know how's it?

comfort for daily drive?

 

[lightningfield]

yaw tein superstreet is quite 'soft' for DC5. especially powderful car like yours. :) . if you have budget to spend, go for tein flex or mono flex. its not thatt bad for daily drive although its hard... but cornering and all - THE BEST..

u interested with a used flex / mono flex? flex is on my my car, just serviced, perfect condition. monoflex 99.9% like new. PM me.

Not too sure on the normail oil temperature as I don't have an oil temp gauge installed.

If you track a lot definitely an oil cooler helps.
It's more as a safety precaution as you never know when your oil temp will skyrocket, especially if you have been doing like 10 or more successive laps.

You can try installing an oil temp gauge first to monitor your oil temp and judge if you need an oil cooler.

oil cooler with minimum piping doesn't affect the oil pressure much.

not really any noticable effect, but definately helps with the oil temp (logically !)

but problem is , the stock engine for DC5 already takes up about 4.5 liters of oil.

with the oil cooler + piping , it goes up to 5.5 liters to 6 liters , so your maintenance/servicing cost goes up.

good thing about it is, well, due to the cooling and circulation, the oil remains "fresh" for longer, i guess

also, remember to use CLAMPED (locked) hoses (not sure if that's the right term) , dont use the normal rm2 clamps, sure bound to be leakage.

also when installing, careful with the hose scraping, if your car is significantly lowered.


hope the above helps

[jaymie]

[hasukyo]

[Jack9531]

Anyone know where to buy mugen bodykit? ori or fiber one..
or anyone selling?
thanks..

 

[yaw90]

Which aftermarket ECU are you using?

Mugen ECU ?

 

[jaymie]

Mugen n1 and k-max

 

[Vagabond]

The are differences between the pre-facelift and the post-facelift ECU for DC5.

the post-facelift ones may require additional harness for compatibility with versions of ECU based on the pre-facelift vers.

 

[jaymie]

Where can we get the additional harness bro? A new thing occured with my car today... There's a click click sound when I press the clutch paddle...haiyo..hehe

LOL.
The clutch pedal click problem, i had that as well.
I went to sooo many shops, spent sooo much time trying to find the problem, cannot find.
Finally i gave up and learned to live with it, then all of a sudden, the click stopped and never came back.
For mine, there is 1 click when i press and 5 clicks when i release the clutch pedal.

 

[jaymie]

haiyo..how to solved this problem...maybe this car ask me to buy ogura..so u can only hear the kringg sound..
