RSX-S-T Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Like the title says, I want to do a type-R conversion. But just cant make up my mind. I want to do it cause it just looks so much better. In my opinion they never should have sold the type-s and just sent us the damn type-R. IF I do decide to do it. I will change everything that needs to be changed with official JDM parts with the exception of the seats and steering wheel which I will change out with after market parts. And if I dont then well I am taking off the Acura logos all except the RSX-S badge. Honest opinions please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 just get the a-spec package from acura if its still available, the wing and front lip are pretty much the same thing. are you gonna swap out for a jdm k20r as well? or are you just going for the look?

RSX-S-T Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Nancy- I plan on changing out the valve cover with the honda one but thats it to the engine. Yes basically the look. But I will do more performance mods to it so everything else would go anyways, eventually. I have already put the a-spec wing on and have bought the whole pedal assembly. But the a-spec kit was what I was looking at, and yes still available. Clubrsx has all kinds of nice rsx's. I agree, but I just think the type-R look is hot.

mycarsux Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 why wouldn't the a-spec package not be available?? even if it wasn't you could buy it from a private seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSX-S-T Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Its available but the dealerships are kinda flakey about that stuff. They used to not sell the items seperate. You would have to buy it all as a package. That was dumb, but they finally started selling things seperate so I bought the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Not possible. Hondas are unibody so you can't convert the chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 if your saying you cant convert or modify a unibody chassis , im gonna verbally lash you , please dont say that , cause you would be dead wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I am. You can't make any non Type R chassis a Type R. The chassis itself is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 i try to tell people that but they dont believe me.. chassis is reinforced and built differently... not very noticeable but it still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Not very noticable? You need to drive an LS/GS/RS/GSR "converted" to R on track, then drive an ITR on track. You'll notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 i notice.. but there's no easily detectable visual details that would allow people to believe that. driven GSR with ITR suspension all around 4x114.3 lug conversion. didnt feel the same as a friend's ITR... looser turns, less responsive steering, more body roll... list could go on.
