Wasn't that the one for sale on done deal for about 12k euros?

Looks like it isn't/wasn't a type-R.

Yes that was on done deal for ages, think it was for sale in Dublin

 

[coyote_dc5]

Yep its an RSX with the a3 engine not that it matters on this machine as it'll far out perform most TRs anyway looking at that spec!

its not a ex HKS demo car either . its slightly weird as its rhd for an RSX

 

[Modmedia]

Mental price LOL.

How did it go from twelve thousand Euro when tuning factory were trying to sell it to nineteen thousand sterling? Which is about twenty four thousand Euro.

Bit fugly that

I was going to say the same evo... Rhd rsx? Not happening (plus no sunroof) . It's obviously a type R..... With a swapped out engine... K20a3 were lower compression weren't they? Meaning more suitable for the turbo?

I've seen it up in modello a few times before they tried to sell it in Ireland. Didn't seem that quick behind honest but then again my sight isn't the best.

Non type-R dials, 8k rpm!

So I wouldn't say 'it's obviously a type-R' at all

 

[samwelltrademarked]

But all rsx's had sunroofs didn't they.... So rsx dials to match the engine?.... Good spot though... +1 usdm points to you sir lol

Not even a bhp estimate on the description? That's disappointing.

FYI if anyone interested more details about this car, was featured at a local blog:

Good find on the link

600 miles in 8 years!
What is the point?

K20A3 block, what is that from?

 

[Mark_teg]

It's an RSX Patch.

 

[kwiatu]

It's DC5 iS from Japan in my opinion, cause:
RSXs are LHD only
all of RSX have sunroof (without canadian model)
cluster in RSX is scaled in Miles (not kmph like this one)
rsx base headlights are chrome inside (not black)

K20a3 engine probably because block was cheaper, even all inside parts are changed to forged pieces. But weird thing for me is that they stayed with plastic intake manifold...
