for personal reference RS is best version...cus its lighter then others

Rs are nice its pretty much a stripped evo. The OP was looking for oem hid headlights I don't think Rs came with those. And rs have no sound deadening, no power window or doors, no radio also I believe and no abs either.

I don't mind going from 6 speed to 5 speed at all. Either way the evo trans will never be as good as the s2000 trans . But you'll get over it quickly once you get the evo. It's a totally different car. I say go for the 5 speed.just my opinion.

How do I tell if its an SE? and do all SE come with a roof?

Is this an SE it has red stitching 5 speed and bbs wheels

Yes, SE has red stitch seats and BBS polished rims. Evo 9 has all same wings, except RS. they dont have wings.

The front is stock but the sides and rear are aftermarket. And that looks like a SE but the add says 6 speed. But it doesnt seem to be a MR SE.the shift knob and center console isn't an MR. So the 6 speed is probably just a typo.

Ok thanks a lot guys you have been way more helpful than the last 2 weeks searching through these forums. I had no idea there was an SE model. It has all the features I want with a strong tranny. Hopefully if that one is still for sale I will own this thing by the end of the week.

Glad to help. Best advice I can give. Take your time picking out a car. Don't be afraid to walk away from a car. Make sure you check out the car very carefully. Good luck.

Just get a GSR SSL

5 speed, oem hid's, leather recaros, and an oem "upgraded" sound system.

if you can find an SE go for it. It also comes with an aluminum roof (among other upgrades already mentioned) which takes some weight off the top. The 5spd tranny can also take the HP if you ever need to go with big numbers. of course I'm biased though...SE's are the best!

As far as the SES light for the 02 and the test pipe a competent tuner can take the check engine light away with evoscan or whatever. STM also sells an $8 screw in fouler if you want to go that route. http://www.streettunedmotorsports.co...engine_fix.htm

good lucK!

Im glad I got my MR. The main reason I ended up with the MR was because I could not find a low mileage gsr or SE that had not been beatin to piss and back by a kid. I wasn't too worried about the trans because I don't race my car, ie autox or drag strips.

Id say it all really depends on what kind of driving you will be doing, and what kind of a driver you are.

Cant go wrong either way tho{thumbup}
