Default Rsx Integra Type R ?

is this possible I was on the 605 south when I noticed this kind of off white RSX coming up fast to my left as I got on the freeway and I noticed it had some different badging so I sped up to check it out and it had Integra Type R badging on the back and the side just like the old Integra type R use to have is this possible or just a ricer?

the integra type R is the RSX type S- in japan its is still the integra, here it is now known as the RSX... I dont know if it was a full on JDM integra R... but it could have been- however it probably was just JDM badging.

jhp's dc5: http://www.jdmhondaparts.com/gallery/jhp.dc5/index.htm

Japan/AUS/Eur: Honda Integra, USA: Acura RSX
2001.7 : Honda announced Integra type-R full model change. The new DC5 Integra type-R is powered by a 2.0 liter DOHC i-VTEC engine developed specifically for intake and exhaust efficiency and a maximum power output of 220PS, coupled with a new close-ratio 6 speed manual transmission. Other features are front brakes jointly developed with Brembo, Recaro seats, and a MOMO leather wrapped steering wheel.

WOW a Amuse Titanium Exhaust


the K20A motors are potential *****es.. Best motor honda ever made besides the F20 motor.
Their are tons of NA mods for the k20, where it can put down 360whp. which is 9sec all motor.

that rsx is soooooooooo HAWTTTTTTT!!!



as someone has mentioned above, the new Kseries motors are monsters...w/just 5-6lbs of boost the rsx-s are trapping in the mid 13s...the new rsx would be an awesome project car, plus the performance parts for them aremuch cheaper than for lexus
