Between the 02-04 Rsx-s and 05+ Rsx-s. Which is more mod friendly, when it comes bolt on's and k-pro? I plan on getting one in a month or so. I can't decide from the two, and I've only driven them in stock form. Input's, would be highly appreciated.

 

both are mod friendly and love mods. If you want to know the difference between the two then you'll have to search, it's been covered.

 

03-04 has k20a2 motor which i think is better than 05/06 k20z1, but it's really up to you. In my opinion, 06 type-s looks really great exterior and interior but i had to go with the 03-04 A2 motor engine wise.

 

03-04hmmm........ what happened to the 02? i must have like a rare car in my garage then if they didnt make them in 02.

Depends... In terms of performance the z1 has a slight advantage. Better flowing exhaust comes with the 05-06's, cams, etc.

However if you want to go K-Pro, it is cheaper and easier on the a2. Easier to find trannys for a2, since lot of other honda trannys can mate up to it.

Trying to be non-biased here since i am a 05 owner.

 

i have owned an a2 and z1 motors in my rsx and i have to say i am very happy with the z1 over the a2 only complaint i have about the z1 is i dont like the single valve spring setup but i do plan to switch to dual valve springs this summer when i get some work done.

The '05-'06 RSX Type-S are a bit quicker than the previous models and has a few OEM parts that can be made to resemble a DC5R in terms of performance. Please explain to me your reasoning why you think the k20a2 is better than the k20z1.
