I did, all thats different is the suspension (Shocks, Spring rates and antiroll bars), a little chassis lighting (Mostly removal of the sound deading pad), a few stock tie bars and the engine/ Transmission. Nothing you couldn't do to a GSR. The only thing you wouldnt have is the reinforced roof and the center brace, but that could easily be made up for with the proper roll cage.

2) Wow, 5 more horsepower - did you forget about the LSD and weight difference between both cars?
3) Interior does not classify a better performance car - the less, the better.
4) You are far too uneducated about both cars to argue. There is an NSX Type S and there is a Type R. Are you going to say that the Type S is the better one?
i can tell you that a RSX-S is deffiently faster (acceleration/top speed) then a type r, i pretty easily walked away from a modded GSR (intake exhaust and header i think) from a stop and on the highway. you have to figure a GSR is just as quick if not quicker than a Type R with those mods. The k20a2 is a monster on the top end. 80-130 comes very fast.
Please... not the modded vs. stock arguement...
So Stock Vs Stock... I dont see the RSX-S beating an Integra R any time soon (assuming equal drivers)

I wish it still looked like that.

This makes me think. I've often wondered, is the RSX-S heavier than an EX because of the larger 2.0L engine? So, when Hawk swapped his K20A2 into his EX, would his car then weigh roughly the same as an RSX-S, or possibly even more? Basically what I'm asking is, is the K20A2 heavier than the D17A2, so that any gains you would have using the EX base weight wise, would then be negated when the K20A2 is swapped in...

I figure the extra 100 lbs the RSX weighs over my car is from the sound deadening. Figure a swapped civic runs somewhere around 2650. I actually want to get it weighed at a weighing station to find out for sure, i'm curious about it.
The cars overall balance really doesn't feel off, i had a slight understeer problem when i first got it back, but i had the Civic's rear sway bar in it, now that i have a Progress back there its actually very neutral, i can't wait to see what it does this sunday.

Rep Power: 0 I would say get the RSX Type S because my bro has a type r and bought it for 17,7k for 24k miles......that isnt bad....not stolen or anything..the guy just kept it as a collector. soon in like 2 week though, the car gets raped by honda haters(Damn you!!!) Soo many people abuse this car...and really ur losing lots of money becuz you gotta repair the dents and car paint and etc.....Although, the type r is one awesome ride....the power is amazing...Chicks love it!
