I suggest you goto www.integra.sg to find out more.

 

There're a few bro's who switched from DC5R to Euro R when family outgrew the coupe.

 

DC5R and EuroR gear ratios are same up to Gear 3, after which the Euro R has taller gear ratios as it's not a pure track machine.

 

EuroR comes with its own LSD.

 

This is a good guide forgear ratios comparisons:

Err... what's the point of swapping gearboxes? If you need shorter ratios, drop in a shorter final drive first.

 

Anyway the key difference is weight - DC5R/Integra is 200kg lighter than CL7R/Euro R so if you really want to build a non-turbo track monster, get a DC5R.

 

The CL7R can be modified to run quite well at Sepang but 200kg weight disadvantage really hurts since squeezing more power/torque out the already high-revving K20 engine isn't as easy or cheap as turbocharged engines.

Another difference is in the suspension.

DC5R has front MacPherson struts and back double wishbones while CL7R has all double wishbones.
