of course a DC5R is going to beat a sportivo, they have a capacity advantage and a power/torque advantage along with a weight advantage. Add to that the better brakes, gearbox, suspension etc... Honda's are generally a much better "track" car than toyota's "sports" FWD's anyway.

but stock DC5R has all that your right but they still wouldnt chop a sportivo, i have kept up with DC5Rs but then again they may have been a shiiite driver !!

but then again this DC5R aint stock so its a different story

a mate use to have a DC2R now that thing would CHOP a sportivo

guys if u run hondas by doing stop starts, than id say 8 out of 10 times ur gonna lose

try and go for rolling starts as that cancels out the skill involved in launching and just requires sum solid shifting...

as for getting a power fc...get it tuned properly if u were to get one because a guy up here in QLD with bolt ons and FC (untuned) got beaten by a another stivo with just bolt ons (by beaten i mean, at least 2 car lengths hehe isnt that right northy :P)

guys its simple .... a stock stivo vs a stock dc5r .... the stivo doesnt stand a chance (if everything else is equal)

however given the driver component and potential stuffing up yes the stivo can hold off a dc5r however as stated .... would need 2 b a crappy driver in the honda and a good 1 in the stivo ....

as soon as mods come into it then i throw out the whole head 2 head competition bcuz then it all depends on who has thrown more of the good stuff @ their car

A stock DC5 is just as quick as a DC2. It's been proven the DC2R/DC5R (AUDM) and DC5S are all within a 10th of a second of each other both on the strip and on the track. So yes any of the three will spank a Sportivo

I guess thats why they cost alot more. You get what you pay for. (most of the time) unless you were to spend the differance from price tags on perfomance mods to the sportivo to match the $$ spent on a type r stock, then we've got a different bed time story :P

No point comparing DC2 and DC5, they are just better built cars with a better platform to begin with. I love my sportivo still, but if I had the choice I would of one the honda route.

The aftermarket support is ridiculous for hondas...

It looks like another one of these threads.

Basically as a new car buyer, you gotta think to yourself is a DC5R worth 15 grand more then a Sportivo. Then there your answer.

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
