Default My new 2005 Accord Type-S

Just bought this for my wife. Locally badged as the Accord Type-S, running on nice 17" Anthracite Honda wheels, nice car for her to upgrade to.

K24, 2005 model with a little under 10 000miles on the odo.

Badged in South Africa and Japan as the Type S. It's what you guys call the TSX.

It has a k20a in it. It has a super short transmission, shorter than a USDM RSX-S which is insanely short as it is, let alone a TSX.

Hmmm. I have a North American RSX Type S transmission in my track car, and it seems to me the gear ratios could use some improvement for enthusiastic driving.
