Bomex RSX

Is the bomex rsx gonna be in F&F2 like how the bomex supra was in the first movie???? I have a pic of the bomex RSX that has a F&F type decal.

Could be interesting.

Doubt it. I just don't see why it SHOULD be in there and if it is, it'll just be a replica through a Type S for the movie. But who knows... I don't really care, sorry.

EDIT: BTW, that's not an RSX, it's an Integra. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

ya SoNiCcIvIc is right. it is an Integra. look at the picture it has:

1-recaro seats
2-Brembo brake calipers
3-no sunroof (no moonroof)
4-even looks like an RHD to me
at the end it seems like the JDM Integra Type R !

It's just not a car that I see that would appeal to the audiences of drag racing. The Supra was easier to make a 9 second car than an Integra... especially an RSX. The Integra Type R is not designed to souly be that kind of car. I'd rather see that car running from the cops like that Shelby was in Gone In 60 Seconds... eating up curves and maneuvering like a ****... now a 2002 Integra Type R can pull off everything that car did (except get the rear view mirror broken so easily.)

And yes...

The new engine in the ITR can take nitrous. If the new Civic Type R can take forced induction, I believe the ITR could.

The Fast And The Furious was souly about drag racing though. Yeah, a JDM ITR could do AVERAGE on the drag strip if modified. But that's not where it belongs... plus the car isn't as popular as the Supra. The Supra is on it's way to being a classic (so is the old Integra Type R respectfully but... ) it's been notorious on the drag strip longer than an Integra has. The Integra is just another import in the drag racing scene's rice crop field. The Supra... is just plain f*cking greedy when it comes to power for racing.

But it's a movie...

They can make the RSX a 7 second car if they wanted to. Boy wouldn't that bring up RSX sales.

You... sadboy619... I'm forgetting someone!

I remember quite a few people trading their Civic in for the RSX... did they leave the forum or something?
