Excuse my ignorance, and my laziness as I'm sure I could go to MSN really fast and look it up myself.. but what are the differences in the RSX and the RSX Type-S?

Base RSX-155 chp/140tq, high 15's in 5-sp to mid low 16 in auto

Type-S-193 chp 02-04 models, 201 chp 05-06/141 tq, low 15's 02-04, high 14's 05-0-6, 6-sp only

Thanks for that. Other than the obvious power difference and the missing "Type-S" anything else different? Suspension? Differential?

Suspension is tightned up, lower sway bars are bigger, stock upper sway, type-S has 11' front rotors as compared to the base which i believe are 9", bigger exhaust and the 6-speed tranny....besides that just interior stuff like leather seats are standerd <no cloth option either> and a Bose sound system is standerd. Very very minor styling differences, 02-04 base had black plastic rockers and S had painted ones, 05-06 has different sideskirts then the base and gets 17" 5-star rims while the base gets 16' spokey ones. Also there are some colors specific to each....all have an open differential though, which is crazy when you realize even a 175hp Spec-V has a LSD.
