2002 Acura RSX

1994-2001 Acura of Integra - especially the GS-R model suffix Integra bearing - a small but important footnote in the continuing saga of the car is fair to say that we think have rated. Okay, maybe a Corvette as long as it is leaves a shadow. However, these cars of Hot Rod in Asia the phenomenon of the growth of an exaggeration to say it's not one of the lines is important. The biggest highway in the country converging there integras contorted integrular they've got the army, the icon of a new era mekanojarj the dictionary

completely "small-block V-8 of the word" deprived. And Integra, Integra, without putting too fine a point on it, old Motor Company's Acura Division good for Hunico, old Chico Escuela unchanged for eight years to translate the life of the model expressed about twice as normal . No major changes, restructuring is not equal to investment, and that equals increased profitability. Why did no one think about why all was wondering if you would change the name. However, marketing experts socio-economic, and therefore perceive things that cannot be seen by mortals only in the ether Integra replacing Acura stability like the rest of their friends, alphanumeric cloaked with anonymity. Farewell, Integra. Hello, RSX and RSX Type-S.

Honda's new I-VTEC, VTEC adds continuously variable valve timing system Double lobed cam.

Fortunately, the seemingly random choices of the alphabet, on the contrary a sinister motive, though, is pretty good at anything that looks like a sports cup is affixed. The recent renovation of civil society, such as the new Acura, which is Honda's for a long time, the point of distinction and a more conventional MacPherson-strut Setup, with unequal-length control-arm front suspension is running away from. But cheat. How RSX - Hot Rod, even a Type-S, although the turn which is common in almost all leading driving cars (read only, understeer) resistance in conjunction with the exhibit, here's the GS-r a lot less than there are things, and when you pull back on the throttle or braking drift when the driver is willing to fly the rear as balanced. This is called oversteer; this feature by enthusiasts as precious and rare bowed weight weighted (Type-S front 61 percent) and has a feature that the front wheels needed to convey both power and steering inputs. And forgiving nature much sweeter than this.

Type-S, a modest four-wheel slip, it could turn into, but maybe waiting a bit and opposite the path of righteousness with a hint reverts to locked. In a word, a small vektorellestirile gas that can be pre-Cup-sport driving, as well as small, racer-dimensional steering wheel and quick - (2,6-mile lock locking), a surgically sharp variable - rack-and-opinion of power behind the wheel help. GS-R than 1.8 (see sidebar) 30 more horsepower 2.0 liter engine that develops a new add; the sleek, new, short speed a six-speed manual transmission (only Type-S) and strong, colorfast disc brakes, Type-S, bulky generous front rotors 11.8 inches) and you have a recipe for the best according to the class, no matter what they say.

Key features: brand new replacement Integra, but the size definitely is familiar. 101.2 inch wheelbase is unchanged, the total length of 172.3 inches - narrowed width and 0.1 inches (67.9 inches) has increased by half an inch. The only significant change in the bell tower of the famous Notre Dame quisimodo impression without making a setting, which aims to increase the viability of the rear seat for you to sit at a height of 2.5 inches which is the height of the car. More space is a plus, while a new the most attractive element of the interior, the Japanese credits and distinctly contemporary, the ones at night that turns the backlight Red Black Silver completed with a elaborate the indicators Dashboard.

Type-S color scheme, Integra GS-R as in karakalem and blacks tend to be dark; however, the very fabric of a textured material that looks like plastic, tool kit, door panels and shift knob Acura finally gives the luxurious appearance and the climate and audio controls, hands instead of routed by the people seems to have noticed. Three large rotary knob, Acura's entry-level series presented in the first Automatic Climate control and excellent BOSE sound system is running the system that govern the various buttons and switches, while the car is in motion to allow sizes to be used with gloved hands.

Type-S leather-coated, new bucket seats, Side airbags, and Side air bag as well as the integrated strap. There is a lot of storage space for small objects is typically Honda and forward sight lines, and this is to say that it is better than most. This intimate interior surrounding hair, perhaps the previous car is not unique - unique Double-snail headlights, headlight gone, coupler CL and TL sedans, founded by the family was replaced with a face that is compatible with the new view. .

However, the lines are clean and minimal front and rear overhangs, which the regular rate, is an accurate reflection of the athletic character of the vehicle. And beyond just looking good, the body shell there's a lot about the characters. According to Acura, all new cars these days are staged like, way chassis rigidity much higher than for the predecessor model -% and torsional rigidity by 116% by 35% according to bending about Acura - car and Previous claims like this one (linguine? Licorice whip?) Done, Type-S stable reaction that occurs from the way of the true ones really suggests. The other Structural Improvements for increased durability and impact - Acura, in frontal crashes, a five-star NCAP rating is doing - inevitably shows more weight, and this, here, Type-S, about 200 lbs set. However, this is compensated for with increased thrust.

GS-R sequential power-to-weight ratio 15,1 pounds per horsepower, a little over a type-s in cover over 13.9% gone. Other price new price is inevitable in the world of vehicle weight. Though X and are considered to be officially related to this issue Acura Type-H Integra I believe that the pioneers would be significantly more expensive, but direct comparisons the new line is deceptive because, at least initially, only two well-equipped from a piece of fix will occur (Versus three) and a hatchback coupe body style (four-door sedan). Taking this into consideration, approximately $ 23,000 and type-s are approximately 24.500 $ we believe that will begin. If these prices proves to be true, the way to get to the highest point of class, is not an enviable situation.

On the other hand, the price compared to the competition, may be consistent with the performance of the car. Note: they use the front suspension BMW is also under the thorn. Superior Honda vehicles Honda VTEC engine technology rewrites the alphabet with the pack and is separated from their herd and the rsx the rsx type-S. new 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve aluminum engines is adding a new chapter to the endless adventure that. Released in 1990 the Honda NSX sports cars VTEC system with Turbo or more power from a particular place without resorting to measures such as overcharging for force-feeding was an important step in the quest. VTEC (the"variable valve timing and lift electronic control") two light lob on the camshaft - it's a wild - leveraging and the timing and duration of valve to upgrade the two teams may change. Since then, many manufacturers have made changes to Honda's theme.

Thus, the RSX, was chosen for the initial setup of VTEC - "i", "intelligent" valve-control system adds variable valve timing to the package bag continuous. The intake cams and ECU only works with the information based on advances or delays the timing of the cam is between 50 degrees consistently. The new 2.0-liter engine in the base version of the RSX in every way, the emission-side i-a softer version of VTEC. This engine also dual-stage intake manifold has long runners feeds the fires under 4600 rpm, short runners up flows; this low-end and mid-frequency performance supports.

On the net (high-speed Honda standards) at 6500 rpm 160 - and relatively strong (according to the same standards) torque output: 141 horsepower pound feet at 4000 rpm with a summit. Type-S share the same engine block, but the internal parts are more durable and higher different. Compression ratio 11.0: 1 corresponds to 9.8: 1; valves VTEC system operates on both the intake and exhaust; a single designed to increase the number of high turnover is equipped with a set of intake ports; and makes a bunch more power: 200 horsepower at 7400 rpm.

Integra Type R than-five, a GS-R. from more than 30 and a new close-ratio six-speed type-s of the last Integra GS-R. we expect to hit approximately half a second at a faster speed. R -, seven-descend to the very bottom of a second (December 1999) we tested. RSX standard five-speed manual transmission or a manual five-speed sport shift option will come. Obviously Type-S it won't be as fast, but the ancestors and should be faster than the competition.-TS
