I was up at Road America for RA500/Speed Channel this weekend. Kleinubing, Cunningham and Meyer all drove the ITR's, but they had this RSX on display. I didn't hear about when their debut will be. If anyone knows, please post. Enjoy the pics.

 

Damn ricers and their colored hoses and what-not

 

You're giving Warren ideas as to what to do next with his fluorescent orange paint.

 

uh oh. when they get that car going i think it will be giving the bimmers fits

 

Those pics are sweet. I had a thought about the placement of the motor as apposed to the previous honda/acura's. They have placed it in the rsx more to the pass side. Do you think that could provide better cross weight balance?

 

those headlights just look hideous IMHO

 

Watching the ITR's get dominated by the Tri Point Protoge's this weekend, I think we'll be seeing the RSX real soon.

 

PD said the RSX racecar would not be released until they could make it faster than the Type R. Obviously that hasn't happened yet......


Matt

 

Nice suspension...

 

If this has to be faster than the type R, than it probably won't be done in a while. The type Rs have been running for years, with huge changes to the suspension and everything else. I am hoping they can finish up, so we can have the Acuras back on top.

 

 

Motons own.

 

What are they gonna do when the RSX-R comes over?

Dan

 

LOL

 

correct me if I am wrong, I didn't think that the RSX-R was coming to the states because of emissions or some bs like that, besides those cars look fugly imo.

 

i dont know but the new ITR is quite sweet...looks really sweet too

i saw this movie and in the movie the new ITR was pulling on the SPOON s2k on the straights....
i was quite impressed...

 

what's so funny?

Dan

 

I'm thinking ...that he is thinking there is no way the new R is coming over to the States....but who knows......I kind of hope it does...or at least some new VERY high performance Honda makes it here........and the S2000 dosen't count....unless they make a coupe and give it some torque...and the NSX is TOO much $$$$$

ciao'

 

it's coming...there is just no reason not to bring it.

It has already been comfirmed in most of the major publications. Make of that what you will.

 

Unfortunately when this car debuts that means the current Realtime ITRs will be crushed. I was talking to PD's right hand man at Limerock and he told me that the cars will go back to Japan or they have to crush them when they are done. This was after I inquired about buying one when they were done with them. They totalled a racecar a year or so ago and they had to cut out all the VIN #s and send them to Honda and crush the car.

 

Are those separate brake boosters for the front and the rear brakes? If so, they must be tuning the brake bias between the front and the rear.

 

Sean Murphy bought 1 of the RTR cars this year, so I guess they can be saved from the crusher if you bring enough cash to the table.

 

that is one of the ugliest vehicles EVER.

but, it's gonna probably be really fast...it's a perfect example of "she's got a strong personality"

 

That's a nice looking Civi...err...I mean RSX.

 

Those are the resevoirs for the shocks. As the shock is compressed, oil is pushed from the shock body to the resevoir. Dampening is changed by altering the flow between the resevoir and the shock. Motons!
