yeahhhh so i deffinitly bought a 2003 NBP rsx-s...and im curious i understand the type S has more horses but why, wut all does the type S have that the base doesnt?

annnd next wut kinds of exhaust sound/look good on type-S after DCRH, i bought full length...suggestions? i want the best or close to it

 

Differences between base and Type-S?

Roughly the same torque, but...

Much higher redline, closer gear ratios, different sway bars, maybe different spring/damper rates (I honestly don't know, though), bigger brakes, different intake manifold, etc etc...

Really, they're two very different cars. The base RSX, like my '02 Civic Si, is a fun, capable commuter that can still be tweaked into becoming very fun to drive. The singing engine of the Type-S, along with its other adjustments, makes it a fast machine that loves to be driven hard.

I don't think that it's a waste of time to mod a base model. If it weren't for the existence of the type-s, people wouldn't rag on it so much.

 

the major differences are the head, oil squirters in the block, stronger parts in the block, tranny

pretty much, the k20a2 has MUCH more potential than a k20a3.

take it from me, a very regretful base rsx owner

 

I had a Type-S before and recently drove a base. The Type-S was more fun.

Ill second that

Atleast its still sexy

 

sweet, i mean i was like look type-s is obviously wut im gunna want so ima get it over the base, i was just wonderin if my money spent on the S would be worth it but i kno one thing u can deffinitly feel and hear the v-tec kick in its awesome. im very pleased with her B-) so wut kinds of exhaust should i be looking at, i was looking at HKS hi-power, i like the angle but wut ab performance?

 

A lot different.. night and day short to speak

 

As far as what exhaust to get, you'll get almost every brand & model in answers from the rest of us.

That being said, I really like my Fujitsubo RM-01A...

 

on topic.... I'm looking for a really deep but somewhat loud exhaust taht has that beautiful sound to it :D

 

So basically, the Type-S just has a better engine...thats all I'm gathering here...

 

Better engine. Yes.

Also the interior should come in leather and with a Bose audio system. The front lip and side skirts are color matched, as well as the front and rear windshield water squirters.



I suggest the Fujitsubo Powergetter for an exhaust

 

the base sucks *** and is automatic and gay and is a really really big waste of money.

 

differnet motor. 6 spd tranny. bigger front brakes. slightly stiffer springs( i think)

then theres hte aesthetic differences as mentioned by 02rsx-s.

it also has a stock front strut tower bar. now it also has bigger wheels.

 

Basically its all been covered

 

why would u get a base when u could get a si, and for not much more..
except for the looks but i'd rather have somthing to back the looks up.

 

true true i see this now, im glad i got the rsx-S so far i got fujitsubo exhaust, but also keep in mind i got full length DCsports header (not installed yet) wut gets good power gains with the header and doesnt sound extremely loud inside the car i like how quiet she is
