What gen was it? I've never heard of a RS but I may be incompetent also. It could stand for Really Shitty? or Red Stupidass? J/K but i'm almost positivley sure that a RS doesn't exist. Unless it's the 290hp Civic Type Rs featured in Honda Tuning from the BTCC circut. RIIIIIGHT! :screwy:

come on do you honestly think i wouldn't know that there is no such thing as a Civic RS? well those two RS's are real RS's and they do exist. but there is no civic RS. just wondering. does the badge look like a RSX badge with the X missing? cuase if it does, then thats the answer to your question right there.

edit: nevermind. a civic RS does exist. its a 1974 hatch back. heres hte link

It's a good amount of horsepower isn't it? Pity the BTCC is complete and utter shit. They have really crappy ass rules.

sounds like bs to me.
probably the local pep boys was all out of type r badges, so he had to settle for a RS.

I bet he jacked it off an Impreza.

20 bucks says it's not AWD either. Next time you see it stick your head under the back and see if it has a rear diff.

For a set of hopelessly uninformed retards you all like to talk alot of shit. Buddy, the car you saw was a 2001 civic RS, available only on the JDM (japanese domestic market, for fucking morons). It is basically a civic EX with a 1700 Vtec engine, sport seats, rally suspension a sprt grille and an 'RS' body kit. Its a beautiful car and propoerly set up will rape the shit out of any of your busted ass pieces of shit. I know because i own one and im running 220whp on 9 lbs. of boost. So suck my balls and more importantly, eat my dust.

Or maybe you could even dazzle us with a picture of your turbo RS...

1. Not knowing about an obscure foreign market car is not "hopelessly uninformed"... MAYBE it would be if the car was something cool or exciting, but not for a crappy Civic with a factory body kit...

2. I doubt the guy he talked to spent the money to import a Civic RS since, looking at the page linked, it is NOTHING special and not worth the trouble. So all of our comments about putting different embles stand true.

3. Even if he DID import a real one, it's still not 4wd like the guy said it was, so our comments about that also stand true.

4. I know looks are an opinion, but I think it's a very common and plain looking car, certainly not "beautiful". Just looks like another Civic...

5. The car comes with, what, 130hp? It's gonna need a whole lot of "set up" to "rape" ANYTHING. It's probably, what, like a 16 second car? Yeah, not much room to brag there buddy.

6. And your 220whp 9psi car is SURE as hell not gonna be showing ME any taillights. And I'm running on zero pounds of boost...

In conclusion - Civic RS, slow, plain looking, and owned by douchebags. Maybe this is why nobody here had ever heard of it, cuz it's not worth talking about

Thank you, have a nice day.

then why does that site say a 1.6 liter? shouldn't that be a 1600?

So, it's a Civic EX with a body kit. Why not just get a Civic SI?

Its probably just a different name.. notice he's from Jamaica, and the website is also one from Phillippines.. Different countries have different naming for same models...

Another thought is that if its not imported..than the RS badging (depending upon color) could just be off the old tegs. They were badged with the GS, RS, LS and so forth, so if its silver badging than maybe he got it off an old teg
