If the RSX-R didn't exist what do you wish Honda would have done with "our" R's?
I mean so far I love the RSX-R performance wise from what I have seen, although it looks a little to tall and fat in my opinion. I still wish Honda would have just tweeked our cars alittle more over the years. If you were in charge of updating our current US spec R's for the 2002 year what would you do? Keep in mind that you must still keep the price relatively low for all of us poor people.
Here is what I would have been happy with.
16" 215/45 rims and tires
4.78 final drive
lighter flywheel
ride height lowered another 1/4-1/2"
2.5" header
slightly wilder intake cam.
and maybe some of those philip bulbs or whatever.
I believe using mostly factory parts this could have improved our cars performance noticeably while still keeping it cheap. What things did you guys always want from the factory?

Better screening process for potential buyers.

Reid - I was going to make a smartass comment like that but I just couldn't find the words.
I used to restrain myself more on the board... used to...

wish they'd make an equal type r, usdm/jdm, with all the goodies-just like the new m3s....no such thing as detuned 
i'd save more money that way 
-without *jdm* prices....

There is no such thing as a RSX Type R
i don't consider the rsx an integra.

There is a RSX-R.. it just it is not in the US yet.. and the name isn't exactly RSX-R.. it's stiall called Integra Type R.
I think 98Spec+(whole thing, HID, front end, rims, steeling wheel, our choice of color about the recaro seat) or a 4 door Integra Type R.. hehe..
Or release a full Mugen mod Type R like the STi WRX..
