Default 05 Type S

I'm thinking about offing my 00 GSR for an 05 Type S, in the vivid blue pearl....how does everyone like theirs so far? It's a hard decision to make seeing how I love my GSR but I'd like to have something new at the same time

The A Spec kit is nice as well, but if your going to change the suspension than there is really no point of doing it right?

Worth every penny for my 2005 Magnesium Metallic Type S, I have driven a 03 before and there is indeed a night and day difference for power. There seems to be more mid end power and from what I hear it has a lower final drive which creates faster acceleration.

IMHO the 2k3 RSX-S is superior to the GS-R in just abiut every way, and the 2k5's are even better. Do the swap, you won't regret it for a minute.

Huh? If you're talking about the RSX I think the '05's look 10* better than any previous RSX. All red owns all IMO.

That's cool...that's your opinion and it's somewhat biased since you own an 05.....Amber owns!....and the way they stick out makes it look like it could've been made by APC....but if that's your thing..then that's cool....
