Im not sure if there is another thread similiar to this so apologies if there is..

Just wondering what the actually difference is between the two?

Ive read the type S has ATTS and the s Spec doesnt

Which would you prefer to own?

Haha well in one of my other thread regarding looking for another lude an s Spec was posted, and im meant to be picking it up next weekend as the guy who wanted to by it tried knocking the price down.

Just wondering what is different about the s Spec

Can you actually feel the extra power, am i right in saying they both have 220bhp?

My old lude was the 185bhp version, will i be able to tell the difference?

One atts other lsd. Both 217bhp. No 4ws.

Be plenty other differences.

@rattymcclelland knows most an he ditched his atts so that says alot.

Think it's 212bhp. The ATR has 217bhp.

Both can have all extras, but obviously only the Type-S has ATTS.

I personally would go for the S-spec, but I like the bare necessities

S-spec is a lot rarer to

I think the ATR is 220 actually, i had one on those for 6/7 mo.ths, it was fun but i prefer the lude haha!

Interesting to see a divide in preference, ill let you know my thoughts when i pick the s Spec up... Hopefully

Bhp always seem to be rounded up. Most that don't know say the JDM lude has 200bhp when in fact it has 197bhp. Not saying I'm definitely right, that's just what I thought.

Atr is 212

SSpec and types is 217

ATR is 212Bhp
Type S and S spec are both 217bhp.

The S spec is a basic BB6 chassis so no 4ws and sunroof was optional. It has the same 217bhp engine however the blocks are different and it has a viscous LSD (not great but better than nothing). It came with yellow needle dials, carbon trim like the Type S and similar seats without the red stichting and Prelude logo. Spoilers and parts were optional. Weight was about 1270-1280kg

The Type S uses the ATTS system bolted to the engine, uses much more complex stuff and the front suspension is a much better design, better camber curve to cope with the torque from the ATTS. The seats have red stiching and Prelude embroidery. Weight about 1310kg because of the ATTS. However atts does not weight 40kg. More like 15-20.

Car for car. If go with the ATTS because the front suspension is great.

I removed ATTS because it was causing issues with the tunning of my suoercharger and the Helical Mfactory diff i now have does 80% of the same job with no ATTS weight.

Would i have started with a Type S if i knew i was going to remove ATTS. Yes.

S-spec wont be a disappointment. Still epic.
