The K20A3 in the Base RSX loves a little nitrous and some boost... so that is a thought...

But the only downfall would be the fact that it is automatic.

Nope... nothing for the automatic base. Only the 5 Speed (Base 5 spd, Type S)

Don't waste money trying to make a Automatic RSX thats NA fast. Unless your turboing or SC, anything else you do is a complete waste.

Since ClubRSX was brought up:

Auto tranny modifications do exist, too:

It'll do decent enough with bolt-ons as well; my EP gained around 25 whp with i/h/e (including OEM Type-S cat) and no Hondata. The base auto's main drawback is its lack of ECU programmability (so far), but it can still be fun.

Also understand that a base RSX was driven to win the challenge portion of an SCCA ProSolo event in DC this summer.
