...2005/6 ACURA RSX TYPE S COUPE 6MT...

...OR TELL ME WHATS GOOD FOR UNDER $25,000 THAT I DIDNT LIST...

...I WOULD GET A S2K BUT I WOULDNT LIKE DRIVING IT EVERYDAY AND I WOULD ONLY GET IT TO GO TO THE TRACKS WITH EVERYDAY SO DONT REPLY WITH S2K AND ITS TOO SMALL INSIDE FOR A EVERYDAY USE FOR ME...

...THANKS...

...PEACE...

 

TSX sounds good to me, unless you get the V6 Accord.

 

2003 cl-s 6 spd!!! amazing motors!! 260 horse stock. 300+ supercharged to the wheels..

amazing interior and exterior

do it you'l love it.. http://www.acurazine.com

 

...YEAH THE TSX IS NICE I WAS THINKING OF GETTING THAT AND DOING THE WHOLE ACCORD EURO R CONVERSION TO IT AND DOING THE BASICS TO THE ENGINE AS WELL AS A HONDATA DONE TO IT AND CALL IT A DAY...BUT I STILL DONT KNOW YET THATS WHAT I NEED HELP ON DECIDING WHICH ONE TO GET THERE ALL GOOD CARS IN MANY WAYS...THE ACCORD IS NICE TOO BUT I DONT THINK THERE IS MANY PARTS FOR IT BUT IT STILL OKAY B/CUZ IT HAS ALREADY SOME GOOD PERFORMANCE...

 

...YEAH I KNOW ABOUT THE CL-S...I LOVE THAT CAR B/CUZ OF THE PERFORMANCE YOU GET AND THE LUXURY STUFF...BUT ITS REAL HARD TO FIND ONE WITH EVERYTHING YOU WANT AND STILL HAVE A LOW PRICE ON IT...

 

If you get the V6 accord 6MT it will already have enough power. If you want a 4cyl. go for the TSX.

...I KNOW...BUT THERE BOTH NICE CARS...IT SO HARD TO CHOICE ONE OVER THE OTHER...ILL TAKE THEM BOTH...HAHA...I DONT KNOW ONE IS COUPE ONE IS SEDAN ONE IS V6 ONE IS 4CYL ONE IS LUXURY THE OTHER IS EVEN MORE LUXURY...ACCORD 240HP TSX HAS 205HP...I CANT DECIDE...I THINK I NEED TO DRIVE THEM BOTH TO FIND OUT WHICH ONE I REALLY WANT...

 

Sounds like a great idea. Can I come? Hahahaha. You will like the V6, trust me.

...HAHA...YEAH SURE...I KNOW I HAVE A V6 RIGHT NOW BUT I JUST DONT LIKE IT CUZ ITS AUTO...AND IM NOT LIKING THE STYLE I MADE MY CAR N E MORE...YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE PICS I HAVE OF IT...BUT YEAH I JUST DONT LIKE THE TAIL LIGHTS ON THE COUPE THERE REAL BIG BUT THE TSX ONES R NICE THEY LOOK LIKE THE RSX LIGHTS...

 

Looks or Power, you can't have both for that price. For more you could get a TL. That would be the best of both worlds. You get what you pay for. But an Accord V6 is as close to the TL as you can get. I had to get the auto sedan for "family" reasons. But it's all good.

 

...WELL THE ACURA CL TYPE S HAS BOTH...WHICH I LIKE...BUT SO DO THE ACCORD AND THE TSX BUT I CANT DECIDE ON THEM...IM JUST GOING TO GO AND TRY TO TEST DRIVE THEM IF THEY HAVE THEM AT THE DEALER...THAT WAY I CAN C WHICH ONE I REALLY WANT...CUZ LOOKING AT THE SPECS WONT REALLY HELP...I NEED TO FEEL IT...HAHA...

 

I would really love to read what you wrote but I have a hard time reading the screen door.

No real punctuation, no paragraphs, all caps...tone it down and make it easier to read and I be a lot more people would be able to help you...

 

...2003 HONDA ACCORD COUPE 6MT WITH NAVI... -Very powerful, not so good on gas mileage. Looks damn good esp with the new RonJon lip kit. WHy navi?

...2003 ACURA CL TYPE S COUPE 6MT WITH NAVI... Eh..stylings not as good as the new Accord coupe, but it DOES have the manual...why navi?

...2005 ACURA TSX SEDAN 6MT WITH NAVI... Fairly good car for the price, will need to make more power, and I know plenty on modifying the K24a2, plus Honda tuning just put out an article on how to work with the TSX's engine. Why navi?

...2005/6 ACURA RSX TYPE S COUPE 6MT... This will give you a good basic car for a reasonable price. I would rather take the base model if youre going to be replacing the suspension, wheels, and modifying hte engine anyway. You'll miss the 3rd lobe on the camshaft though, which you might not like.

...2005 SUBARU LEGACY GT SEDAN 5MT... Eh...

...2005 SUBARU WRX SEDAN 5MT... Eh...

...OR TELL ME WHATS GOOD FOR UNDER $25,000 THAT I DIDNT LIST...

A good car under 25k that isnt on here is a used Accord V6 hybrid. It's got the fuel economy of the 4 cyl with the power of the 6er. And its slightly better on 0-60 because of the electronic assist. It's a sedan. But it's good.

Maybe the older gen BMW 3 series? Expensive to repair but nothing beats rwd and Bavarian style...


Just a quick ?, how will you pay for this if you're 18?

don't expect it the bimmer to be trouble free as your honda.

they are nice and all if you have the pocket to buy it, insure it and take care of it.

i would do the tsx, g35 or is300, is and tsx is underpowered i know but it's such a nice little sedan. it makes alot of american luxury look like a toy

...yeah i understand what u mean...there has been problems with the bmw more than the hondas...the g35 is a little to high for what u get and i thought about that car also but my opinion of it is not really a good daily driver car everything for that car is expensive...thats why im trying to go more for the hondas because all the aftermarket preices are lower than the nissan and infinitis...i looked at the is300 too but i cant seem to find n e around my area for sale...

 

I love the new TLs, and the TSX.

They get my vote.

...TL is too expensive for nothing i rather get the RL but that is even expensiver but i like the TSX better than those two...tsx gives u performance and luxury with a low price tag...but u cant beet the acura CL type S...i really want one of those...it has everything u want in a car except for rwd or awd but its still a good car...

...haha...not in my area...i already tried looking for an evo 8 also...and i cant find a good one with no problems and low miles and low price...

 

Haha, i've never seen somone make up the word "Expensiver" lol. Props to ya. As for car choices, I would go with the TSX.....the RSX is gonna cost you an arm and a leg in insurance, and the TSX has a lot more potential than the V6 cars you're talking about. If you're not gonna do a whole lot of work on the engine, then I would stick with the sixes. But if you want to make the TSX more fun, slap an RSX S head onto the block and rev the **** outta it.

Youre not gonna get real results with a stock TSX.

First, youre gonna have to convert it to run off an RSX ECU to get it to tune on KPRO. (Or do something of the like to get it tuned properly)

If you modify the VTC mechanism to 45 degrees (stock is 25, and aftermarket is 50, and that risks a blown engine if you misshift), you can make more power.

THe only real difference between the K20a2 and the K24a2 heads can be easily made up with a port and polish, you really dont need to do a head swap, the problem with the TSX though, is the Drive By Wire throttle that is going to be a suck in the ***.

I've been researching a K24 for an EG hatch and this is what i've found:

K24 block
Header
Intake
Slightly hotter camshafts (anything drastic requires a new valvetrain, plus any cams meant for the RSX S will drop right in)
Adjust VTC to 45
Tune (hopefully with KPRO)
and DONT REV THE **** OUT OF IT

And it has been agreed that I will be seeing more than 210 hp and 180 tq at the wheels...

 

um dunno bout finding a tsx for under 26, even used lowest ive seen is 28!!

...hey this is not a school paper or something spelling doesnt matter...lol...my bad tho...well yeah insurance is kind of high on the rsx-s i heard since its a coupe and all that stuff but as of today i took off the rsx-s and the wrx off my mind...i dont want those n e more...well if i got a tsx i only would do the basics to the engine and add a Hondata to it and then do suspension and so the whole Accord Euro R kit on it and leave it alone...i think once im done doing all that maybe if i have money left over add a Comptech supercharger...but thats for the tsx now if i got the Cl-s i would do something similiar to the tsx as far as the engine wise and add a Comptech Supercharger in their too and do suspension...that car is fast already with all the oem stuff...and for the accord v6 coupe there is not that much to do to it right now b/c theres no parts for it...like the good stuff but it has power already so i wouldnt do n e thing to quick to it...and as far as the legacy gt i dont know what i would do yet to it...but thanks for ur reply...
