trans, ecu, front and rear bumper beams, headlight lens tail light lens, radio, interior, ACD and super AYC, steering wheel on other side, tires, probably brake pads, engine speed limiter (112mph) speedometer in km front lsd ....I think thats it...no wait, England has a different rear bumper...oh and a mysterious pipe that runs down to the turbo in the middle of the valve cover, rear integral fog light titanium tubo........the list is quite long....about $8,000.00 worth!!!

Rear Suspension is different too. It's not inverted like the japan version.

What are you talking about? if you are talking about the inverted front struts..(upside down to you) then the evo 7 had those already.....the rear suspension does not have struts...its a trailing link system.....man..some people!!!!!

yes they were optional on GSR's through ralliart and also the RS...the rs is just a bare bones car because thats what the customer wants when he is going to use it for rally's and competition......no fancy seats, wheels , suspension, brakes, AC...all these where deleted on the RS

The opperative word there was "FANCY" implying the items where present but not as the adjective descibes...get it? I am also just having a laugh.....it seems strange typing that I have to explain when I am joking...hmmmm
