hey i was wondering what were the differences between the base model rsx and the rsx type s model.

 

No better place to get all the detailed specs other than www.acura.com

 

can you put type s parts on the base rsx

 

Why not just spend the extra few $k and buy the S instead of trying to do the conversion?

 

(Details noted w/ (*) are for MY05+ only!)

Base: 160hp/141tq (155hp/137tq SAE Corrected) - Your choice of a 5 Speed Automatic with SportShift or 5 speed manual. Your choice of leather wrapped Type-S seats or cloth. No spoiler.

Type-S: 210hp/143tq (201/140tq SAE Corrected) - Your choice of a 6 speed manual or a 6 speed manual or a 6 speed manual. (*) 17" rims factory.

There's tons of details I'm missing, such as the Type-S getting a rear sway bar and a thicker front upper strut, and some other stuff.

Maybe Samson can fill in the stuff I missed.

 

what differences are you interested in? the type s has better brakes along with other mechanical differences.

However, interior wise, they are virtually identical, minus the 6 disk changer+ sub and the standard leather in type s models.

 

there are a ton of differences between the 02-04 bases, 02-04 s's, and the 05's. alot. nothing that you might notice if you dont know about em tho

 

If you are trying to decide which one to go with. Just get the type-s. You will be alot happier in the end. They are an awesome car.
