To the owner, if you want to make this thing handle, do not lower the front end. Lowering these cars destroys the bump steer due to the position of the steering rack and the tie rods. They need 3.5 degrees of negative camber or more in the front, and do whatever you can to give it as much castor as humanly possible. The rear suspension is just extremely poorly designed, and the fix is to just run springs so stiff that it doesn't work. It's not uncommon to see rear spring rates in the 40k and 50k range on the DC5 race cars running in race groups that won't allow you to redesign the rear suspension mounting points. Also, it needs an oil pan that will prevent the oil from going up the timing chain cover. The drop in pan baffles do nothing because the issue is not oil going away from the sump, but oil running up the timing chain cover on left hand turns. I had a drop in oil pan baffle and would drop from 6 bar of oil pressure to 2 bar of oil pressure on left turns. With a Toda oil pan, I saw absolutely zero pressure drop. And happy birthday!
Same with the EP3 but we used rack risers and it completely eliminated it. I believe the same one fits the DC5 and basically It’s the same car underneath.
Why Misha's Honda video always gets lots of views? Because he always use every potential rpm there is, and make VTEC sing its' beautiful song around the 'ring. Love this one, the car absolutely sings perfectly! Apparently the (!) light is related to oil pressure according to some comments? That better be look at, don't wanna hurt the engine.
It's the handbrake I believe! On some of the harder corners you can see it come up mid corner and then watch his arm move and disengage it as the light goes off.
@@Itsallfun3000 These have Brembo in the front, and the Type R rear calipers are different from the standard caliper as they're aluminum and designed to hold more fluid. With that said, they also have fairly effective OEM brake ducts up front, and I'm sure that helped a lot.
@viruxer I hear you. I had my e46 m3 holding 7900rpm in fourth up that same hill and just held her there. She did it lap after lap. I just felt the owner was doing the rev counter check a few times and was a bit nervous :)
I seen that visual sigh of relief as soon as Misha let off the throttle 😮💨🤣 Trust, they'll take it. I stupidly bought a High milage EP3 Si with the dog K20 that made like 160hp (same chassis as this practically), drove the hell out of it with just oil changes for 4yrs getting it up to 260k miles, then someone offered me a trade (my interior alcantera/suede was trashed prior to me getting it, there was rust bubbles, it wasn't pretty, clear coat failing all over) so I traded it out..... the dude I gave it to is STILL driving it, and drives it way more than I ever did, and he's constantly beating on it... I at least only _occasionally_ beat it lol.... I don't think it's ever going to die 😅
Nice drive. 6th gear is like an overdrive for better mpg in daily commuting, but the gear ratio on the first five go well, though it did seem like safe mode kicked in at the change up.
The best we had in the states was the RSX-S, which I once did 140mph in a friend's factory fresh one. They weren't particularly light compared to other Honda products, but they always seemed like well-built cars to me for their segment.
Mega car, lovely lap 👌 Interesting watch for me - Misha’s feedback to my lap in the GP2 with the same AD08RS tyres was excessive understeer with minimum steering input. Now on Cup2’s which transformed the car. Get those AD08RS’s in the bin! 😂 A bit of toe out in the rear may also help you out if you’re maxed out on camber up front.
Just a notice, is that oilpressure warning that are shown in some curves. Could be worth mentioning to owner than. I guess you really want oil all around at 8700rpm! :-)
@@TranceFuryes I think you are right. Its a circle with two arcs which might represent caliper and carrier at left and right and in the centre what looks like a stylized exclamation mark but might represent a disc.
It's the parking brake light. The three most plausible explanations are: low fluid (I'm sure they would have checked before going full send on the 'ring), loose fluid level sensor connections (I've had a few Hondas where the brake fluid level sensor connectors would try to disconnect themselves in turns), and the parking brake up switch is loose (also very plausible).
Gacchiri support ( good ones like Nagisa Auto garage ) + increased rear ARB combo is the most fantastic and cost efficient mod you can do to any FWD 80-00 Honda to improve handling
He should check his brake fluid levels, they're too low as the G's going around the corners are causing his low brake fluid light to light up 😅 Otherwise, still one of my favorite Hondas. A perfect Honda garage would be a Honda Integra Type R DC2 and DC5 along with an 02 Honda NSX-R, 97 NSX Type S-Zero(with air), or a 92 NSX-R... and lastly, a CBR1000RR-R SP, a CB900F Bol d'or, a Mugen ME460, an ATC250R, and a 72 XL250.... should be a good garage....oh I need a "truck", might as well get a first gen Ridgeline 😅
Round of applause for misha for not ripping down the awesome sauce at 1:33 , you can tell he wanted to do so. It's misha in a honda, you should know before the video plays that it will be good.
@@ilhm474 you should not have them on the road period. if you have seen any dashcam channels, time after time there are accidents with bicycles and passersby because they are hidden behind the dangling thing from drivers POV
Had the same car. Miss it everyday got stolen and stripped out for parts. Very difficult to find a nice condition low kms one nowadays that aren't really stupid expensive.
As much as I love Integra DC5, the suspension design just horrible. Front end can’t be too low as it will affect the steering rack, another poor design. Many years ago i saw 1 in facebook marketplace selling at pretty cheap price, exterior wise 6/10, interior still intact no missing parts. When I ask around my friends who owned or driven DC5 before, they all ask me not to as this car not as good. Either i take DC2 or the FD2, but again my heart has a special place for this car.

This and this a million times! Great post.
lowering the front is okay as long as you get extended ball joints to raise the hub back up. Best fix though is to sell it and get a dc2
There are bump steer correction kits for the dc5 if he wants to lower it and still have good geometry in the front.
_"Lowering these cars destroys the bump steer"_
Destroying bump steer is a good thing 😁
Same with the EP3 but we used rack risers and it completely eliminated it. I believe the same one fits the DC5 and basically It’s the same car underneath.
This is a real fun car. Redline at 8.750k and the sweet spot is 7.5k to 8.750k.
What i was thinking quick shifts and always seems to be high in the revs with the power
you can spin it (vtec) to whole 9,000 rpm, whenever, wherever…
Why Misha's Honda video always gets lots of views? Because he always use every potential rpm there is, and make VTEC sing its' beautiful song around the 'ring.

Very nice i do love these. Im impressed the standard brakes and fluid held up!
Seriously. Honda brakes are def the weak link on any stock vehicle

good pads wont fade on a dc5 unless you are really pushing
agreed, crazy how the rotors held up and didn't overheat
@ 1:55 I was like: wth.. only 110 on the first straight? And then I noticed the MPH 😂
2:10 that vtec😮💨😮💨
VTEC sir it has VTEC
Mischa, I've always seen you genuinely enjoy these old Honda vtec cars the most.
This is definitely the kind of car you should buy next.
😆
Should always check every Honda owners doorcard for a vape. Loving the DC5 videos. I bought mine 7 years ago.
AKA "douche flute"
We’re addicts. It is what it is. VTEC Is just another substance of abuse.
@@ferrumignis Guess we'll just have to go back to smoking then and put stinking cars on the market🤷♂
@@DanteJDM Doesn't matter if it's a smoke stench or vape stench. Not buying that stinky car either way.

So happy you had the pedal camera. Thank you !
Die Fußkamera ist klasse. Und wie immer sehr gut gefahren💪🖖 Ich freue mich jedesmal über deine Videos❤❤🚜🌬🌬
proper drive! love the 5.1 fd in my 8th gen Si, totally wakes the car up. Hopefully misha can get a track setup fd2 on sometime 😎
I don't know much about Honda/Acura four cylinders but I know that sounds glorious. I had the volume on my surround sound cranked up lol
@6:18 onwards, the owner is praying to the type r gods that the engine can handle a sustained 8700rpm for the whole hill..
both looking like, this is fine
It's a K-series. Easy task.
@viruxer I hear you. I had my e46 m3 holding 7900rpm in fourth up that same hill and just held her there. She did it lap after lap. I just felt the owner was doing the rev counter check a few times and was a bit nervous :)

You go for a lap in your pride and joy on your birthday only to have Misha laugh at your 6th gear 😂
😂
Gonna be a good one!🎉
Pedal cam is such a plus, don't ever go without it, videos are perfect as always
In the US, we got the Integra RSX Type "S". Same body as this one. I used mine for autocross. Very fun car!
Honda really are the experts in high revs going right back to the 800S....i remember seeing (and hearing) some of those back then.
5.1 final seems perfect. Rear end seems to have tons of steer
Misha you are the best! I watch your videos everyday even if they are older 😂❤
Ohohoho, the DC5 TypeR never disappoints. I love it!❤
Great job
Keep it up
From Argentina....
Jack Black looked so happy
music... no overheating.. great!!!

9000 RPM, 2:36 when the V-tech system explodes, it sounds very good.
The Sound! Wow
These are the most beautiful cars ever made, especially in white like this one.
I’d love to see a drone perspective that’d be awesome
that was a proper celebrating of birthday!!
See Misha driving my dream car like that is just amazing man, the sound of the car everything i just love it thank you Misha :)
2:14 vtec kicked in yo😊
Just a notice, is that oilpressure warning that are shown in some curves. Could be worth mentioning to owner than. I guess you really want oil all around at 8700rpm! :-)
Tires may have too much grip for the stock oil pan?
Add a half quart of t6 20w50
Pretty sure that’s a brake pad warning light.

Was gonna mentioned the same thing (honda knowledge haha)
Such a pure car. I know you do walk arounds before your laps, but do you have a checklist that makes you turn cars away?
Best series on youtube
The turn in feedback is crazy because it seemed like it was actually trying to rotate and was very responsive to steering inputs
Drove like he stole it
Pure emotion
K20 never disappoints
she's back!!!
Nice, spectacular, without turbo! 🎉
Round of applause for misha for not ripping down the awesome sauce at 1:33 , you can tell he wanted to do so.

good bless the revs❤️❤️❤️
so bad ass..love the dc5 R!
i don't skip honda video ✌️ i love honda engineering
Die fuß cam muss bei jedem Handschalter dabei sein!!!
For those mods it picks up faster on accel than I expected - runs good - assuming the speedo isn't way off with the gear change lol
If the dc5 was double wishbone and not super-strut, it would be the “one.”
Rearview mirror accoutrement... the _OG_ G-meter...
*YESHHHHH VTEC!!!*
Hondas on the Nordschleife and fun is guaranteed! 🚗💨
What a great Birthday wish!
Juhu i was so fast here
I Really Like your Videos Misha
Love a dc5 vid!!
3:25 parking brake light?
fwd had the urge to drift
@@BETTER.ART. or fluid to low...😬
Low brake fluid.
brake fluid to low/pads are dead so fluid level has droppped right down.
Love how many dc5s youve had this year haha. ❤
I see Misha, I click
Awesome!
Classic DC5 testing😄
I would love a lap in that with you at the control Misha.. very nice video 😉👍
YES PEDAL CAM
УУУррааа любимая Хонда!
Ah those gauges bring back memories. Bought my RSX in ‘04 and sold it in 2019.
Good video for the weekend
This was a fun ride, everytime the owner said "Jesus" haha its totally different in the passenger seat
Misha you need a k20/24 in your life
All the videos that you drive a type r with a K series you are at your best
You are right Misha... "The most." Or you could even say "Most"
Love dc5 ❤❤❤

Honda is the greatest engine manufacturer of all time. FACT!
All the Honda content.. 🙏
Misha thought the final gear was closer but it's actually an overdrive LOL
Uphill in 5th against the limiter!
i guess he should fill up the brake fluid... the warning light pops up with high G forces
Misha when my corsa is done you can drive a lap with a c20xe pocket rocket it will be a llot of fun haha
well done! elton john honda boy
nice ride ,HUGE air freshener ...
