Focused on fun, little compromise on comfort and yet well-engineered for bearable daily driving. <div>
<br /></div><div>Carmakers can throw in wallops of horsepower, and control these power with electronics that can put NASA to shame. They can mate the engine with some fanciful gearbox that blips the throttle and does the best rev-matching that probably can only be matched by the best drivers in the world. However, at the end of all these, it just takes the fun and skills out of driving. In some cases, the immense horsepower and space-age electronics mask the inadequacies of the chassis; car buyers can perhaps ask themselves; are they really paying for more? Or they are just paying for less engineering which is covered under layers of marketing gimmicks?</div><div>
<br /></div><div>The DC2 Type R has none of these. Simple naturally-aspirated power toe the line of balance, basic manual gearbox with helical LSD ensures none of the requisite skills is taken away from the driver. And that finely-tuned chassis; it's just like the girl whom we eventually want to take home as a wife; absolutely nothing to hide and springs no surprises. How many girls, or cars in this context, can fulfill a promise like that when we peel the layers off?</div><div>
<br /></div><div>The DC2 Type R is still months away from the completion of the restoration project. So what exactly were Soichiro Honda-san and Shigeru Uehara-san's intentions when they conceptualised a car like the DC2 Type R? The author can't wait to find out. </div>KThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13554931576189893343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673488618807563969.post-39013464093380278922011-08-08T16:19:00.000+08:002011-08-08T16:19:51.593+08:00Stripped - More Pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsZRVElC_eEdXtUpjWzA46v1zJTA4QrkS91vh_-nHCMihFY65cXXjxOkwQLng6BJa5ntpuGAzXANeoRwGbaaAaLde_Cdjw14iXypRM2DP2jvvcGYaGdTGN4y_xv_KkybQMVjwRI0SR3So/s1600/IMG_0479.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" naa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsZRVElC_eEdXtUpjWzA46v1zJTA4QrkS91vh_-nHCMihFY65cXXjxOkwQLng6BJa5ntpuGAzXANeoRwGbaaAaLde_Cdjw14iXypRM2DP2jvvcGYaGdTGN4y_xv_KkybQMVjwRI0SR3So/s320/IMG_0479.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Surface rust ...<br />

One of the reason for delaying the restoration process of the DC2R is to allow myself to focus quality time rebuilding the vehicle. I probably need 3-4 months ...<br />

This feeling was soon canned, but never forgotten, when the last Type Rx left the showrooms in the year 2000. As worn as it is now, a new unit will replicate its glory of starting up one with the most melodious starters followed by the firing up of one of the best long-stroke DOHC VTEC engine.<div><br /></div><div>Why the talk of restoration, you may ask. The picture below speaks a thousand words.</div><div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1XVW1zsA-GA/TeJMWXcGR6I/AAAAAAAAAAk/lIThh9dvgYg/s320/IMG_7039.JPG" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612132032789759906" /></div><div><br /></div><div>The picture isn't very clear, but note the putty patch job on the tyre and the cracked bumper. I am quite sure most car enthusiasts will agree that the proper way to patch a tyre is to plaster the puncture from the inside. Maybe the previous owner was thinking that since the car would be sold soon, so such shoddy attitude can be shown towards the car. Running on Nexens in the rear and Falkens in front is hardly befitting of a car this calibre as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>The cracked bumper is just a part of the car that needs replacement. More pictures to follow. More work is guaranteed to restore this car to its former glory.</div>KThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13554931576189893343noreply@blogger.com0
