For its entry in the RSX Challenge, SPEED magazine upgraded its 2005 Acura
RSX Type-S with a GReddy turbo kit and a Cosworth-built bottom end featuring
Darton sleeves, Crower rods and a Ferrea valvetrain. Handling is enhanced with
KW Suspension coilovers and thicker anti-roll bars. StopTech front brakes combine
with A-SPEC rear pads and slotted rotors to augment the RSX's stopping
power. An Acura A-SPEC rear wing compliments the RSX's profile, along
with Flex-A-Lite molded windows and Graphicsworks vinyl graphics. Inside are
an A-SPEC shift knob and Autometer gauges.
