Drove friend's RSX
I have a type s. I drove my friend's base RSX. I actually like the 5-spd better. Is it just me? Am i crazy. Don't get me wrong, I like the fact that my car has more power, but I like the 5-spd better. Just my $.02

so your saying 6th gear climbs to slow and the 5spd feels better? all i know is once i get the rsx i want that twin clutch!.. you can probably trade with some rice boy who wants 6gears on his rsx base.. just look around.. mayeb you can even get money out of it

I don't see why the tranny won't swap, same block and everything...

I really think you should reconsider. You should compare the ratios and final drives of the 5 and 6 speed. If the 6 speed has the shorter gears overall then there is no way the 5 speed would be faster.

We'll see, I want to go drive my friend's car again, see how much I really like it. The tranny would be the last step to my total base conversion. Muahahahaa

When I made this handle, it was before I had my car, and I thought I was getting the desert silver. Then when I went to the dealership, I saw the satin silver and fell in love.

Re: Drove friend's RSX (JDMDC5s)
Thats what I heard from my friend,..he siad he thought the Base RSX seemed a little quicker,.but in actuality its slow!!!
I'd like to check into the Tranny swap as well,..let me know what you find out!!!!!
Someone is also saying you can put a Type-R(DC2) tranny on the RSX too,..thats just a rumor!!!!!

Re: Drove friend's RSX (2002desertsilver-rsx)
It seemed to me the base RSX accelerated faster, esp. at lower rpms. I test drove both intimately and liked Type s better, guess I'm a gear head. I do find I'm constantly at higher RPMS on the type S though. I wonder how it will do for engine life and general wear? The type S vs. base?
