Default ep3 or rsx-s

ok so I'm thinking of purchasing a 05 si which is in my price range. but i can git a 03 rsx which would stretch my budget. so the real question i should i git the si and modify or git the type s and leave alone for the time being??

go with the RSX-S... You'll definitely be happy with extra gear and 40 HP... but you won't have the peace of mind like you'd for the EP ( I belive EP is brand new..) Putting Intake/Header/Exhuast on an EP3 wouldn't help that much... One time or another you'll be starving for more power and end up getting a turbo or motor swap.... Lower springs would imporve the look of EP but that's pretty much it....

bolt ons make the car feel faster, so get the RSX-S and you'll have a blast. Plus the EP3 is just so gay looking. The RSX is a much better car. Get the RSX with the civic seats, cause the RSX seats suck (leather) and the EP3 seats are fantastic (black suede with big side bolsters.)

Go fizzle yourself!

To the owner of the new dc5, congrats. I would start with suspsension myself. At least that is what I did with my gay ep3. Having extra power is nice, but I dont think anything is more important than having confindence in how your car will handle.
