2002 Acura RSX

The rolleyes have it. We could actually all be on the same page now.:silly2:

[Type R]

WHAT!?!?!?!?

[Shariq]

One of my cousin's has the Type S, and another cousin has a 'teg Type R...I've driven both many times and heres my conclusion:

The 'teg is a very sporty honda built vehicle. Everything is sport-rough in a good way. It screams when ur pushing it, it shifts w/ clicking sounds, it corners bone-to-road. Its a great sport car.

The RSX is everything I just described about the 'teg, but with syrup poured over each characteristic. The inside isnt as bare- its
amenity-laden; the shifter doesnt have that click- its more buttery; the engine doesnt scream as much- it growls deeply; etc.

Get the point? In other words, everything the 'teg was, the RSX is, but w/ a coating of syrup upon it. If that syrup is to your likeing, then its the car for you. If not, wait for the RSX Type R.:sun:

Nice thanks...
I think the RSX Type R already came out right? (in Japan)
I've seen some pictures of it.
Man the hood looks sweet.
the air intakes look cool.

In Japan they still kept the Integra name. Therefore it's known as DC5 Integra Type R.

You will be crying if you get WRX now. First STi is coming out. Second Subaru is giving Impreza a face-lift.

Whens the STi coming out and when is the facelift due? Im asking cause Im either getting the STi or the RSX Type R

[F20C]

Facelift is coming out in late 2002 for JDM market. It might be a bit longer until they bring it over to NA. STi is suppose to come out mid-late 2002 but I doubt that is going to happen. They probaly bring out STi with the new face-lift which would save a lot of money for advertisement and certification etc.

The STi will have those rally-style lights (black with the light poking out).

What is an STi?

an STi is the factory upgraded performance version of the wrx, similar to the integra type r being the factory upgrade to the gsr. an sti has 280hp and a 6 speed transmission, along with many other little items such as emblems, shift knob, different headlight cluster, etc...

[Dahmin8]

All this talk about STi...what is an STi? Does anyone know what the letters stand for? Who makes it? If it's so popular, can someone give a bit more detail, some conceptual photos? I hate to sound like a dumb a$$ but who makes it?

STi=Subaru Technica International
Subaru WRX STi
like i said earlier, 280 hp, 6 speed, among other differences from the average wrx.
