Hi guys i own a 98 type R with a Jrsc and other mods.I also have a 2002 rsx Type S (artic blue pearl) The Rsx is my daily driver.As you guys have stated the cars are very different and i like them both for what they are.I dont feel that the rsx has the performance that my R had before the mods.The rsx is a nice car to drive everyday.It is much quieter than the R..For obvious reasons...Kinda a nice car when your tired and had a long day.The stock tires flat out suck...I put toyo t1's tires on this car within the first 2 weeks i owned it difference is day and night.The rsx is still fun to drive.So i guess i am not really picking sides...But i would say as a thrill ride the R is the real deal. But for every day The rsx is great ( its an Acura) nuff said
