Suspension/Performance package for RSX-S

New special package for the RSX-S
I dont think this has been posted yet, but now Iwish I had a Type-S. If you click on the rumors and news link at the top of the page, they show some pics of what it will look like. All I can say is *drooling all over self*, I'll take one please.

I also sometimes wish I had an RSX-S. But then I realize I am stuck with my 2K1. That package seems pretty tight even though it is factory.

Drool !!! Damn. If I lived in North America, I would know what to get in an instant. Keeps getting better every time I look at it. You have the Type-S.
Come on Honda, give us the Type R in Europe. Please [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Hey thx, if you find out they're not going to deliver the Type R over there to Europe, what about the sti?? When i was over there I saw a bunch, and reading about its power increase over the WRX and its suspension I'd say it's a good buy. plus drifting <drool>

edit: are your engine mods taxed in the Hague? i know in belgium you have to declare if let's say you put on an exhaust or chip...

Not much performance stuff there. Tires? Brakes? Wing, and Underbody kit? That's nothing to be jumping up and down for. Those are mainly cosmetic stuff. Now if they had performance stuff like headers, intakes and exhaust or a turbo kit, then that's something worth looking into.

The WRX STI is nice, and really moves your a$$, but I like the RSX-S or ITR more. Don't really like 4 doors I guess. Taxed ? As in approved ? You don't have to declare mods like exhaust, turbo or even NOS. Only when you increase the engine size, like drilling out a 1.6 to a 1.8, it needs to be approved before you can drive it.
But that might change. There's been a lot of bad news about illegal street races and stuff. So they might tighten the rules, which doesn't make sence, since you can get a car with more HP that's not even modded, like the STI.

I think it would be even better if they gave it a little more power. Maybe a 240hp Type-S. Wait....then your competing with the Type-R.

$4,800 performance package.. imagine what that could do in the aftermarket... you'd get a lot more than brakes, wheels, shocks and springs
