What the difference between the new RSX Type S and the Japan only (for now) 2002 Integra Type R? Mechanical differences is what I'm looking for.

Body panels/fender wells the same or is the ITR thicker for added rigidity (like 97-01 ITR's). Just wondering how much work it would take to build an ITR from an RSX Type S.

Thanks.

 

Basically the same differences between the GSR (the Type S) and the Type R (Type R) The Type S is basically the GSR model under a new name for the RSX or Integra in every other country.

 

In Japan Type S usually means similar to Type R but heavier...plus Type R have some premium brand name parts...Brembos, recaros..etc....mechanically they're almost identical

 

its the same as the G3 ITR, sound deadening, and lighter doors or something.

 

I posted a link to a good RSX-R review in the RSX forum
