hey guys
over the weekend me and my boys were driving and my boy Paul said that the dc5-R was in AMerica. so we drove to a dealer and it was a RSX Type-S with an "A-spec" badge where the type R badge should be. It had type-R rims and wing and looked real "R-ish"

Here's my question:
Are we ever getting the dc5-R and what does a-spec mean??

-Jim-

 

as we speak thers no type r, but maybe one day will be cool enough to get it here.
the a-spec package is s type-r wing, 17" wheels, and i believe a different suspinion set up.

 

Trust me, those rims are not the Type R rims, I have the Type R rims on my S. The only thing that is Type R on that car is the wing. Not worth the money. Skip that A-Spec raping ****.

 

Here are some pic's

 

not bad looking

 

saw a black one at the DC International car show, it was reasonabley priced at or around $23,650.

 

not worth it and not liking the rims to much

 

Car looks really good.

Thats the base price. The A-Spec package increases the price by about $4000, not including installation.

 

It's a very nice car. But then just gets reallly ugly once you see that price tag.

Quote from Acura for the A-Spec package - including installation $5,496 (A~Spec).

 

hey thanks for the posts guys. and for the pics.

i gues a-spec really stands for "American-spec" hehe.

^^^Great info! Thank you VERY much!!
BTW, don't forget http://www.kingmotorsports.com...e=RSX

 

Pretty nice but I don't think that's a USDM TypeR. Because the rims look like 16s and it doesn't have the TypeR front clip, skirts and rear clip.

Well tell me what I won Bob...

 

150-Shot two stage Nitrous system $900
2 BF Goodrich Drag Radials $300
Gutted Interior $0
I win. Honestly, I believe even the base model RSX is overpriced. I mean you could get an EF and go way much faster and look nicer for under $10,000 total.

So overpriced rationalization = st00pid. Different stroke for different folks.

 

where are the suspension and the brake?

 

the rims look like DC2R UKDM/JDM wheels

 

Understand that a EF is an old car. of course it's going to be cheaper.
