RE: RSX type S
i learned to drive stick on a type S. fun as hell to drive. its great, because you can take the car to its limits without taking yourself to the limits of your driving skills. top end, the thing ****in screams. if i had to have one car as a DD and one musclecar, id have the RSX type S as my DD.

Excuse my ignorance, and my laziness as I'm sure I could go to MSN really fast and look it up myself.. but what are the differences in the RSX and the RSX Type-S?

what would a completely bolted on rsx run? the reason I ask is because a kid with a civic hatch and H22 was talking a little bit of smack to me, but i saw him run an rsx and it was pretty close between them, so worst case is the rsx had complete bolt ons. I think i can still take the civic, but those honda motor swaps are so hard to judge.... [>:]

yeah especially w/ a redline of 8500 RPMs!
I had a type S before the Mustang...they have great top end, in fact all their power is top end, they are light, and take to mods well...a majority of lightly modded 05-06's on Clubrsx.com are in the mid 14's.

Guys on crsx with the basic bolt-ons<i/rh/e/k-pro or hondata> are low 14's, some have slips of high 13's. Every bolt on would prolly be around a mid-13.

My wifes RSX was an '04 previous to this Pony, it wasn't just a dog, there was a pig in there too. for a light car with 160hp it was shockingly slow.

Still, the most pathetic auto in my book, the Celica GT-S auto, high 16's from a 180 hp 2500lb car that runs low 15's in manual. Genius idea, mating a high revving, power in the top revs where lift engages, with a 4sp auto tranny that when it shifts falls far, far, far out of the cars powerband. The RX-8 had a 4-sp auto with this problem also, but they fixed it this year putting a 6-sp auto in.
