how many of you would trade a 2004 base model rsx for an integra type-r (not a dc5 type-r, you nut)?

i'm so disappointed with the base rsx that i want to get rid of it. throughout my high school years, i was very accustomed to the pre-generation integras, before the dc5 made it's fabulous appearance. don't get me wrong, i love the styling and luxury of the dc5. it's just the performance of the base model i do not like.

i've been considering trading in my base rsx for a type-s for several months, but i just came upon the thought of owning a type-r, which was a dream in my high school years. if i sell my car, i would be able to afford a type-r.

i love the pre-generation integras because of the raw feeling. i'm not a big fan of luxury and i don't need the luxury of the dc5.

when i really think hard enough, i think i love stock power and warranties.

 

trade it for a type-s or a type-r, any other way get rid of it

i guess a more appropriate question is:

type s or type r?

What an original question

The itr is a nice car. BUT we all know the s has more potential, cheaper insurance, less theft ( you should know about theft if you live in union city), leather interior, a sunroof, less noise on the highway, some warranty left, more color choices, clean title (more than likely), etc. I could go on for days.

I see R's for sale for about 14K with salvage titles

 

there's an itr for sale locally. clean title, 35k miles, all stock, carfaxed for $14,500

now isn't that tempting...

 

Just out of curiousity is your base a 5spd or an auto? If its an auto then i dont blame you. 5spd with i/h/e and reflash or k100 is still a fun and decently (own opinion) quick car. Im happy with mine. But we all have different needs. For some it takes a bit more umph to put a smile on their face.

Between your two, I would pick up a Type S. I value luxery. Plus with a type R i would always be trippin about it gettin stolen. Not to mention insurance will rape you.

 

That ad said it had 52K miles

 

eh, I wouldn't get the type r ... too many thief stories about type r's -___-;;

 

52k miles? i must've been sleepy.

well, i should just be smart about it and trade for a type-s.

by the way, do any of you think it's possible to tune a k20a3 with a k20a2 head (naturally aspirated, not forced induction) to reach 300whp?

Type S for sure!

head... iono... with k24 block yes, its possible

 

I own both a 2003 RSX Type S and a 98 Integra R. It is impossible to keep the R has a daily only driver. you are worried and paranoid about it getting stolen all the time. I actually enjoy the Type S more right now but its too hard to get rid of the R because I think if I advertise it for sale somone posing as a buyer will carjack me.

 

i was 90% close to getting a type r. i even stockpiled a year's worth of b18c5/itr parts... my friend got his type r stolen, and my friend with a gsr swapped del sol had his del sol stolen as well. lets just say, i didnt want to risk it. and an itr isnt worth getting a beater... imo. so i got a 2005 type s... and i love it!

hrmm, u live in california. when u get the R, start shopping for a new car.

im serious too.

i laughed when i read the 300whp. it's going to take too much work. look at stroking it and boring it out. also, you are going to need 13.5+compression. full port n polish, free flowing cams, a complete head and bottom end rebuild, 100 octane gas...etc.

good luck.

 

i've been thinking about going with high compression, but how often would i need to rebuild my motor? i have very little knowledge of running a high compression motor.

i'll be researching more on it, but feel free to fill me in on the knowledge. thanks!

 

yes it is a peice of ****...my friend has one and it hits vtec every gear at 6000rpm i think and redlines 7000. A Integra GSR can beat the base model rsx due to its shity fuel cut-off. Get rid of it ASAP.

get the dc2

 

so basically, yes you CAN get 300whp from that motor, however its gonna take so much custom work. I mean it was done with a B20 block, they got 300whp n/a, its doable in a K20 block im sure, but again, gonna take lotta time, custom work, and $$.
