hi i just bought a 05 rsx base model and i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get some parts for it to make it faster. also is it true that i heard that i cant fit a cold air intake on it?

 

It can't be fast, it's a base rsx. I hope your joking about the whole "i heard that i can fit a cold air intake on it?"

 

well i just heard that i CANT or can i? cause i dont think there will be any room for it? if you know how to make a cold air fit let me know thanks. i know its just a base model but i couldnt fix any type s rsxs in my area oh well its good enough for me for right now.

So what if it's a Base model? If I can recall, there was this one guy in ClubRSX making 250whp/198tq all-motor on his base. I'm not quite sure if those were the exact numbers, so I'll report back with the thread and confirm it.

 

well if he was making 250whp/198tq then it was no longer a base model. Unless you swap, turbo/sc, or juice it, it will be slow.

 

ok so where can i go to find good prices on intakes and exhusts and headers. i can only replay a few more time today so maybe you guys can tell me what are good parts to put on it but also that are not that expensive? thanks.

Forced Induction is gonna be your best bet.

 

what about anything else? like intake, headers or exhust? what kind would be best? and where can i get it? thanks.

 

for what you will spend and he gains you will make it's not worth the money. but if you think you will be cool with aftermarket parts go to showstoppersusa.com or ebay if you want cheap.

 

its not just to be cool its kust i want to get a little more HP out of it and just make it sound and look a little better thats all. i know i cant get it super fast i dont really want that its just its a nice car and i just want it to look and run good.

sell it and get a type s

 

i wish i could but i couldnt find any type s on the lot or in town plus i still have payments on the damn thing

 

Don't feel bad man!!! I have a type-s and I still think its not fast enough. Its just the nature of being human. Once you have something, you want something better. Don't worry. Get a nice suspension set up, and the extra parts to make it look good right now(exhaust, wheels). @ the end, all you do wit that car is just drive pretty. Only idiots race on the street.

 

what would you recomend to get for it. its a black color and i have no idea what would look good on it.

 

i actually bought some skunk 2 springs for it and i could only find the front camber kit but not the rear do you know where i can find the rear?also what kind of exhust would be good for it? but also something that not crazy expensive?

 

http://www.clubrsx.com go to their store and they have pretty much everything you might want for your car unless is some ultra rare japanese **** .................

 

get an hks hi power or a fujitsubo. It all depends how much you want to spend. If you install the exhaust yourself you would save a lot of money. Some shops charge no less than $150 to bolt off and bolt on(something you can do on a weekend) I have tein springs and Im not on cambers. I havent done it because its just temporary until I get my coilovers. I cant answer that question. As far as wheels go with what you like. As long as is not rice. My car is black too, we have plenty of styles and colors that go with the car.Rota has good prices.

 

this might ound dumb but whats hks? also all i am looking for at the time is like a intake and maybe a nice exhust and maybe headers.

 

i just found a Club RSX Edition Injen Cold Air Intake for my 05 rsx base model would this work? cause i heard that cold air cant fit on a base model. what would it give me in HP?

 

The cold air should fit your base no problem, as for HP numbers it all depends but is not that much............

it should work..u might have to cut like where the wheel is to make the filter part fit but yeah. And most cold airs dont do all too much mayb like 2-3 mayb 5 on a good day<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by RSX05 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">this might ound dumb but whats hks? also all i am looking for at the time is like a intake and maybe a nice exhust and maybe headers.</TD></TR></TABLE>
hks is just one of the brans for an exhaust like buddy club, greddy, skunk2..inakes are pretty cheap good luck

 

With the intake and exhaust, I have both. I purposely bought the intake first and waited until I got the exhaust. Both were bolted on at the same time and I didn't really notice the difference. On a scale from 1 to 10 on how much the power was increased with these things on was. 3 . YES 3!!!. You r replacing something that are as simple as 2+2. Its not like a turbo. Even if your intake is "cold air", is still all bs. If you really want power save your money man. Get a turbo set up. The kit brings the turbo manifold (which replaces the header) and a intake. So if anything. JUST GET AN EXHAUST.

 

what kind would be good but also not super expensive? i am on a low buget?

 

Dude use google and go to Club RSX... That will answer all your questions. If you actually want to learn something about your cxar then this is the only advice I can give you. ther are tons of these random *** threads about "my new M3D tighT Yo RSX" which intake is better.

Just read the info and make an informed purchase decision. These people so far have been kind enough to answer your questions so far but you just keep repeating the same damn question.

The info is here in YOUR thread now use it. I doubt any of these guys are gonna come over to your house and hold your hand while you order the stuff...

Also just to make this post more than just a rant I will answer your question to the best of my ability.
