Why buy an auto if you plan on doing anything to it? Unless you are damn lasy, or cant shift.

to answer your question, in terms of performance, not really. The base auto doesn't respond to mods very well. You would be better off swapping in a stronger k20 engine or even a k24.

Show car wise, well.. you know its just a sexy car. Nothing stopping you there.

of course it has the potential. the potential to get you from point a to point b. it doesnt have the potential to be a very good honda enthusiast car. your better off with a manual base then do a k20 or k24 swap.

I have been in a couple and they are fine for DD, but the auto tranny doesnt lend itself to any kind of racing or big HP.

Do non-automatic RSXes have potential?

Hint: it answers your question too.

Short answer: no.

Long answer: Automatics suck. The K20 sucks too. So suck+suck = super suck.

The K20 doesn't suck for what it is: a 2.0L engine that gets me my groceries in style.

Me, personally? I'm all for V8 power, yo.

Dude, it's a joke. I definitely don't run a 9-second RSX. It's a slowmatic 16-second car on a good day.
