Hi im new to honda-tech, Tomorrow Im about to buy a 2003 RSX 5 spd completly stock.
I kinda want to fix it up and dont know if that motor is a good starting point or should I just save for the type s?


Thanks

 

Probably better to just get a type a to start with...

Do you know from experiance?

 

depends what you want. if you want a reliable Point A to Point B car, get the base.

if you want a decently quick, equally reliable, and a nicer car get the type S

 

what are your goals with it? your about to buy a car and you ask questions 12hrs prior? please go through the FAQ.

only if you want to pay more for kpro and have a 4.7(i think) fd?
(yes i know there are more differences but lets not even get into that lol)

well im saying more for looks besides the better overall engine

 

type s and my 05 handles way better in stock form than my 02

 

I hate threads like these. What's more suitable for me? Base or a more redefined model, the Type-S? Come on, it's fairly easy to answer that question yourself. No need for reassurance.

Ask yourself: 1) What are your goals? 2) Will I be using this simply to just get from Point A to Point B? 3) Etc.

I hear you on this... it is a little strait forward when you think about it...

 

It really depends on plans, which makes a thread like this pointless.

If you're asking what kind of potential you can get out of the K20A3, the answer is some.

The K20A2 has more, it's at another level. Definately the NA motor of choice.

Personally I can't stand buying anything less than the top model trim of any car offered.

 

So...Did you buy it?

</TD></TR></TABLE>yeah i know not everyone. i just want an NA car for a bit. til i get tired of it. then ill go forced induction.

 

Boost is the only way to go.
