Why don't you take all that money you'd be spending and actually buy a superior car? While RSX's are nice, there are better cars out there.

As soon as you do a full ITR conversion, kiss resale goodbye. It's like flushing money down the toilet. But it's your money, so more power to you.

Or, buy a Type-S, do a few small things to it and enjoy it for what it is.

well the biggest changes would be interior, suspension, and the DC5 R chassis is lighter and a bit stronger.
as far as motor the k20z1 is about 10hp less than the K20A type R
your biggest differances would be in the tranny
the K20A tranny has a lighter flywheel, better syncros, Limited slip diff, and shorter gear ratios due to the final drive

if you just wanna type-R out your RSX start by looking at the stuff they sell on icbmotorsport.com
and you could try using this web sites search tool
