Question Civic RS and our civics (DX,LX,EX)

What are the major differences between the Civic RS and our civics? (hp differences, body style, etc...)

I'm just super curious and haven't been able to find much info comparing them. I'd like to be all JDM'd out by getting an RS grill but I ain't gonna put a badge on my car that doesn't represent what it is.

Thanks.

the rs is only availible in the ferio sedan

i believe it comes with vtec and 130hp.. which is like 3hp more than the stock ex which is pretty negligable

Oh ok. Thanks for the info. I have an LX, so it does still seem lame to stick a RS logo on it.

who cares if u have a coupe. its not lame. its called the JDM front end conversion. hence "front end". its a coupe with an RS front end. its simple as that. or call it a JDM equipped coupe.

1.7 SOHC VTEC
Electronic Brake Distribution
Optional discharge Hi/Lo beam headlight
Uses a wider tire(same as the 04 Civic EX 195/60/R15)
4 wheel disc brake with ABS
Carbon fiber center panel
Front perforated head rest
Leather sport seat
Rear heater duct
Electronic flipping mirror
Grey rear window/rear door glasses
Built-in trunk spoiler
Underbody spoiler kit

Basically it is what we are missing if you need a true RS in the U.S........

the rs looks about the same as a civic sedan in the states but w/ a aero kit and some cooler rims and a grill.

I am sure it is not an aero kit, but an underbody spoiler kit.
This is a link to the official Honda Japan website showing the Civic Ferio RS.

Here is the picture(if I can get it to here).

No special rim, but just the regular EX plastic cover. I am not sure about the 2003 model which will have alloy wheel but at the mean time I just can't find it. If I find it, I will put it up here for the 03.

wow. I'm actually glad we have coupe's here. I'm not too fond of the civic sedan. Although I've seen some nice ones around, I like the look of the coupe much better. Thanks for the replys guys.
