white balance is abit out on the first one lee 
you can argue all day the JDM ones are "better". they could be identical in every way and the JDM one would still be "better".
i like the UK bumper so shoot me for buying one, if i want the 10bhp back i can get it through a new exhaust. in the meantime i'm crusining round with my AC keeping cool in my low mileage 1 lady owner car that on the roads is barely/if any slower than an JDM one

Think I prefer the uk 4 headlight ones.
Anyway haven't the jdm cars usually got more power because their fuel is better?

the more power comes from the 2.5" bore exhaust on the JDM ones as opposed to 2.25" on the UK ones afaik

Im not a fan of the JDM DC2,would pick a UK version over 1 anyday.Much prefer the front of the UK and hate the rear bumpers on the JDM.
My mate had a UK DC2 and the way this thing went round corners was unreal,even at speed it just felt like you could do it even faster and it would still make it.Point and shoot.
Straight line speed isnt up to much,even when in Vtec.
His 1st time on the 1/4 mile was against a JDM model and it was neck and neck across the line.The only thing that let him down was his was running 17" EP3 wheels and the JDM was on standard 15s.Off the line the JDM nosed ahead by a ball hair,but by the end it was even stevens.

Sorry mate but the uk rear bumper is the same as a JDM bumper except for the rear fog light. The 96 spec JDM model has a different bumper but alot of people fit the later spec model. The best model is the JDM 98 spec which uses 16" wheels instead of 15"

I never looked at the price for uk models sorry  i had to go true jap lol i pay £600 FC with all mods insured. 6yrs NCD and protected. They are not the quickest things in a straight line but wait till you get to the twisties and its just make sure you get decent tyres and mods to make it great otherwise you can ruin it.

hmmm its ok but i would be a bit warry of it. the vtec controller makes no difference and it might be using a cheap air filter and exhaust that ruines the performance. I would take a look at a few before you decide. Join itr-dc2.com there are lots on there and geniune sellers.
