That white version certainly won't come slammed like that from the factory. What's the suspension travel there 1/16"?
And I am impressed with the guide offered on the blue one, I never imagined the chassis to be under the car.

Thank goodness they labeled those components in the first picture. I personally had some confusion about their locations.

Its a tight ride... I always loved the ITR's, the new one looks damn good too, even better with the Mugen kit ... Did they ever say anything about bringing them over to the States???

The chasis is 110% better than the 98 spec R and also improved suspension, but the push at VTEC is not as significant as the previous 98spec R.

it can definitely give s2k a nice run .... driver skill is gonna be the key for the s2k, as this fwd is less likely to show off its tail when cornered hard.

IMO, I think S2k and the ITR each holds a different class, but F20C is still the King of NA motors.

I just got my Best motoring international vol 2 which previews the new Integra R and I have to say it will kick ass. The chief engineer claimed they tried to make it at least 1 second faster in Suba circuit which is VERY impressive.

I got that video too from Importdev and I must say the RSX looked really good. It'd be a toss up between that and the WRX in my opinion. (I still think the WRX would win, due to the amount of aftermarket mods available)

Don't like the headlights? They look like the Stook's!

As for the RSK Type R, the 2nd one(white) with the wheels under the fenders looks stupid imo.. I don't get it why some like that style. It reminds me of those big family cars in the 40s and 50s..
