Re: Whats the difference between the acura rsx n the type S style?
Just going to end here but before i go i'm going to make two more comments. First off a k20 swap is the biggest waste of money for a civic swap. it doesnt cost between 3500-5500, try more like 6-8000. With that said i would rather just build my bottom end with that money and throw on a bigger turbo. No more needs to be said post if you like last time here.
Now for you. I'm sorry but your just a damn FU$K. Not anyone can just build nor tune a boosted hatch but anyone can just go out and by a car like yourself. As far as your suspension and rims go my turbo alone cost roughly 2grand with the stage 5 wheels blue book value alone for the car is 4 and damn just check out my garage. Street value is probably around 9 to 10 grand. try again. For your all motor civic show me it running a 11.8 then will talk, till then as we say in the navy LOCK IT UP.
For everyone else take it easy i was just bored at work

I think that you guys need to go to law school and put this arguing to some good use...lol...and it doesn't matter what honda/acura you drive...as long as you aren't piping around in some mustang or riced out celica thinking you run the streets. Come to Chambersburg sometime...it has an infestation of mustangs, scion tc's, and other cars that people think they are cool in...bring your cars down, show them what's up...much better way to spend your time than trying to argue about who's honda/acura is better...just my opinion. lol...I guarantee i'm not the only one that feels this way

Re: Whats the difference between the acura rsx n the type S style?
A little off topic.. but having to do with the differences between type r and type s...
Alright, I will admit that I know very little about cars, and I'm trying to learn more.
My boyfriend just did some things to his 2002 RSX Type S. Mainly, he bought his go-fast parts, installed a turbo, and got some pretty rocking electric blue wheels. His car has been out of commission for a few months due to back log on parts coming in, so needless to say he's super stoked to be getting it tuned and done on Saturday.
As a little present, I wanted to get him blue Honda emblems. I found some on Ebay, (not too worried about being knock off), but my problem is that I know there are different sizes, and I don't know which size will fit! I'd be really upset if I ordered them in and gave them to him and they won't fit. So, please, help a girl out?

Some things will be re mentioned, but here is the list on a type S, over a non
- 2.0L engine with 1 ft lb more tq, and 40 more hp
- speed tranny
- larger front brakes
- gauge cluster w/tach that goes 1k higher
- painted front lip and side skirts
- front upper strut bar
- higher flow exhaust...bigger piping, diffent cat & muffler
- silver trim shift ****
- different stereo with little sub woofer, lol
- the S runs on premuim fuel, gets worse mileage
That's all i can think of off the top of my head.
As too which model i s a better deal, well with used to comes down to price and condition
