Default 2005 RSX-S

I dont know if any of you are into the RSX but i am. It going through a redesign for 2005. Its getting a new Bumpers, new front and tail lamps, new rear wing, new exterior colors, and bigger wheels( ). But the best part about its getting 10 more horsepowers. So thats 210hp and 143ft/lbs of torgue. Its borrowing some internals from japan Type R so this should be a new enhanchment for the RSX-S

17 inch wheels with low profile tires. Oh yeah the internals it borrowed from the japan Type R are the intake manifold, throttle body, exhaust, and cams.

prob...but imo big wheels dont mean anything but for show. It would have done fine with 16's. I still think the car is hot though. its definatley going to be my next car after im done paying for this car i have now

haha, intake manifold and throttle body are not internals. last time I checked they were outside the engine. ah, vtec.net, what a great site to link to.

My girlfriend test drove one the other day and she said she still likes her 03 better.

Btw, they should come with factory 18's. The wheel wells are huge on RSX's and the 19's on my girls fits nicely.
