AUD DC5 Has also Type R Brake Ducts. RSX-S Doesnt!!!
I thought the AUDM gearbox is diff from the RSX. The AUDM DC5R comes with 6 speed and lsd + light weight flywheel. Correct me if I'm wrong.
you might be right there
RSX has no LSD
RSX gearbox has rubber bushings while we have metal ones.
AUDM flywheel is 7.6kg while JDM flywheel is 4.1kg
JDM DC5R also has a different set of dials. Theirs comes with a nice "Type R" logo that lights up when the lights are on but the max speed shown is 180km/h whereas the AUDM max speed is 240km/h. This is also different from the RSX which shows speed in MPH.
There is a shitload of difference between the AUDM DC5R and the USDM DC5S so anyone who tells you that they are effectively the same has obviously only scratched the surface. They have the same engine... K20A2 (so whomever said it was the K20A, you're wrong) and they have the same suspension. Apart from that, you won't find alot that is the same. US guys on ClubRSX spend over 10k USD to convert their cars into what resembles an AUDM DC5R, so to say they are the same is naive.
just a quick question
is the jdm brembo brakes 4 pot or 2 pot
they are 4 pot. the rear brakes are the same as oursQuote:
