nice site.
id really like to boost that little engine, or even just supercharge it...from what i understand the compression ratio is astronomical, so it can only probably handle 6 or 7 pounds. we probably wont do anything for 5 years though, except maybe repair a couple things by ourselves as to not void the cushy warranty. and yes my mom is kewl my whole family is kind of in to cars...my brother has a 91 mr2 turbo and a 79 turboII rx7. now we just need to con my dad in to buying a sportscar of somekind and we'll be good!

You do not have to import DC5R pistons bro, a few shops have them in stock. Try inlinefour.com or jdmhondaparts.com. I know a few shops here locally that have them in stock right now and a few in LA. If you guys want the names just pm me. Good Luck guys.

Wise choice my friend, I too am waiting for TODA parts to be released in December. Im going all TODA from the valve springs to the fly wheel. Im also going to see what I can do with my ECU. I heard Hondata should be offering thier RSX ECU upgrade in december as well, so I'm going to do it all in one shot. I'll keep everyone posted. Also I am thinking about getting the SPOON throttle body for my car. Has anyone heard any good things or bad things about this?
Thanks guys any information is appreciated.

Do a search on clubrsx, doesn't look like it's worth it.
