I've attached the Japanese brochure showing the options and you can see there is both a GSR and RS, there is definate difference. Japan didn't have RS2's but you could get options like A/C and brembo's like my car has on the RS. I was lucky to come across one

My avatar is also a brochure pic of an RS
Nice! Learn something new every day I guess!

Well it been a while since I've had any updates, because I was working on being able to legally import the car when I go back the states at the end of the year. I now have all my paperwork to clear customs under a perminant race exemption(never street legal). I just started getting some more parts for my budget build. I went with Tein RA suspension. Got it in almost new condition at a great price and it will save about 20lb's of weight:




I also got a ATS & Across front carbon diff that is unfortunately for a ACD equipped car so I can't use it, but I'm taking offers, more to come.

Ya its been a busy year. I kind of put parts on hold till I was sure I could get it back to the US. Plus with moving and holidays money is tight, and now I'm training in TX for a couple months. But I would like to set it up for e85 when I get back to Vegas.

Finally started working on the car again, hopefully I can start making some progress and hit the track this summer. Intalled a CP9A first, MAP O2 external dump downpipe, for any other 5-6 guys it fits perfectly. Also picked an LC-1 WB O2, I wired in for logging.
