My friend just bought an RSX Type S for about $10,000. It needs a lot of body work and this and that, thats why its $10,000.

My question is.....DOES THE TYPE S come 5-Speed ?

I thought the Type S only came 6-speed.

 

I thought they were all 5 speeds too. Is it a true type s or convert? Check the engine code, brake size, spoiler, etc

 

Yeah.
But The Type-S Does it come 5 speed or 6 speed?.
I Thought All The Type-S Came 6 Speed. But This One Came 5.. Maybe Its Fake.

 

The Type S came with a 6-spd ... 5-spd was available only on the base RSX

 

they only come with 6 speed.

 

So In Other Words. He Basically Got A Fake Type-S?

 

Check the engine code

 

look on the block of the motor and see what engine code is listed ... you can mate a 5-spd to that motor ... look for K20A2

 

Is There Any Type-S That Comes 5 Speed?

Thanks. so basically my friend bought a bootleg Type-S.. what kinda car do you have?

 

You act as if the tranny is the only determinant. Why don't you just check the engine code?

 

you aren't going to get much help here if you keep asking the same question over and over ... check the engine code ...

 

Hey ... Its Not My Car.. its not at my house.. its my friends car. i jus wanna suit the dealer for false advertisment

 

Your "friend" needs to take the car back to the dealer.

 

Type s's only come in 6 speed, he's got a base one

 

dude you need to check the engine code, or if your lazy go to http://www.carfax.com and type in your vin. If you dont pay the $30 and do the free version it will show you the TRUE title of your car. It will either say the year and then ACURA RSX or ACURA RSX TYPE S

 

alright man thanks. i'll have him do that tonight. alright everyone thanks for the help.

 

How high does the tach go? Did it come with a bose system? Leather? (i know bases come in leather too but this may help figure it out) Its prolly a base, which is why it was 10k

 

its a fake type s, one time i saw a automatic type s (it has a fake black type s sign)

 

like everyone said
the type-s is only available in a 6spd manual from the factory
base model is opened to a 5spd manual or auto

check the redline
that will also determine if its a type-s (unless the previous owner swapped that too, but it very unlikely)
but to be 100% sure, take a look at the engine code

 

This thread makes my head hurt.

 

Tell me about it

RSX TYPE S 6 SPEED

RSX BASE 5 SPEED N AUTO


SO STOP THIS!! JAJA

LMFAO that's funny

 

if you don't know where the engine code is located just look at the intake manifold. the base has a black plastic manifold.
