It's completely up to you, whether you do actually like your car and want to keep it or not. Around here you're going to hear lots of "keep the car and build it," ( ) but it really boils down to your own personal car wishes. I'd personally enjoy building up the 4th gen.. and I vote to keep, but that's because I like preludes more than an RSX..

Despite the Engine in the RSX I like the Prelude better. Personally I see a much smaller number of Prelude's drving around than RSX's. Plus I think the Prelude is much more unique to start with than the RSX. All in all, I just like the Lude better.

Sell it and get the rsx. If you want somthing newer you could also buy a 2001 last of the last pos ludes and stay in the family

my opinion... keep the lude. i went from a eighty nine to ninety eight... test drove the type s right before i got the 5th gen lude and the lude was the better choice.... but then to each his own...... and just to add i've left quite a few rsxs in the dust...

I'm kind of in the same position. When I decide to unload my car and if I don't drop the motor in a civic or something I was gonna go the Type S route. Have you considered a new Si? The car is ***** to the wall fun for a Honda.

I think you should stay in school and learn how to write English properly.

There you go......Blow $8k+ getting a K running in a POS chassis!
I think everyone should have one.....
At that point just buy a REAL K car! 2002 RSX FTW!
The new SI is in my future......K.....LSD......+Kpro! Yummy!
