Your S is not a R. It's not even dressed as one.

I've driven an S and it comes nowhere close to the feel of an R. The gearbox gaites are incredibly loose in comparison. It tracks terribly as soon as it loses traction thanks to a lack of LSD and it's VTEC lift feels smoother and more gradual than the R.

Horses for courses, but the statement that the AUDM R is a dressed up S is just a naive S owners comment.

How is 125kg of man meat gonna fit in a bucket seat? No offence, but I remember reading another thread where you said you couldn't fit in a Recaro/Bride seat.

LOL at this thread now..

Don't make the mistake thinking that the engine alone is what makes a Type R. The R has chassis stiffening, additional bracing at the rear and has additional weight reduction in the form of a thinner windscreen and zero noise insulation material underneath the carpet. All this coupled with the recaros and LSD make it a Type R. Your Type S is not a Type R. The Type R makes compromises in comfort for less weight and better handling. The Type R doesn't have the option of a sunroof just because they wanted to lower the centre of gravity for handling benefits.

The Type S on the other hand doesn't make any compromises and is better than a Type R for use as a daily driver unless you are willing to accept those sacrifices in comfort.

coz DC5R

At the end of the day we all mod them up similar, and is you want the newer model with the new better engine get a S

"new better engine".. what makes u think its better? coz it has 7kw more? @ the end of the day... few minor mods.. they can be the same..

LOL,
1. Type S is newer so its better LOL
2. It has the Real JDM Type R cams.
3. Bigger Intake Manifold JDM Type R one FTW
4. Cause I Said so... FTW :p
