Sell your RSX and buy a Type-S ... pretty simple

Really though ... you need a lot ... just search it ... I'm sure you'll find all you want to know

There are a lot of differences between the two (engine, interior, suspension, exterior). Sell the base and get the S.

actually there isnt very much difference at all.
sound system? expletive that.
sideskirts/front lip - get aspec/R/aftermarket anyway
all you REALLY need is
-front brakes
motor
tranny
ecu/kpro

i was referring to this quote.

interior? identical, except head unit.
suspension? slightly different spring rates, and 99percent of us on the forums use aftermarket anyway

i already highlighted the slight exterior differences.

teh only real difference is the motor and tranny, and i GUESS the brakes

well isnt the motor/tranny pretty much the most important part of the car? =|
money is most likely better spent just upgrading to type-s
