I Need some options here guys i have a budget of 18k including with my ep3 trade in. my clutch is slipping badly. i just put 1k into it on parts and now im pissed at it. i was looking into the golf gti or a 2009 civic si. also how bout a tsx? thoose are pretty sexy. i dont really wanna leave hona/acura nation but i want somthing nice and fast from factory

 

$18k...Used S2k or maybe a Tsx...Either would be a step up from the Dc5/Ep3 platform...

 

im like the tsx one but not to sure.

 

Tell me about it...I'm seriously thinking about trading in the Type S for a Tsx this summer...But the Rdx looks good too...My friend is selling his Rdx for $19k with 40k miles on it...

 

thats crazy man. so wait i havent reseached alot hyet but they have a tsx type s correct?

 

A clutch is a lot cheaper than an entire car.

No.

There's a V6 model for 2010, but it is automatic-only. The 6-speed manual is offered only with the 4-cylinder.

 

lol true but i want a faster honda and not one that looks like a odessy. that happend a couple of time to me already lol and i got beat buy a boosted odossey ramdomly on the highway it was orange lol i nvr seen anything like it before

 

No Tsx Type S...But is does come in a 2.4 I4 6 Speed.

 

sweet im about to hunt down some tsx if not a 09 civic si!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

just swap and go turbo or sc you'll be more faster...

 

I was originally looking for a TSX but I couldn't afford it at the time. The one I wanted was perfect too White with black interior, 6 speed and navi, the dealership said it was probably the rarest TSX they've seen, and I've only heard of a few that were white with black interior.

 

TSX motor in the EP

 

I wud go with the rdx. Tsx. Or s2k. Not necissarily in that order thou. Tsx are actually prett slow out of the box. U will need to do some modding to get it fast so that really wudnt make much sense. I say s2k ftw!!!

 

Yeah, I'd go for a S2K.

It's a shame it was no torque, though.

If only EVO's didn't break so much, I'd for that. It feels faster than the S2K.

 

i have seen 3 TL's type S sold around here in San Diego for 15-18 k clean title low miles 50k or so and no engine problems.

I would recoment the tl type S. i test drove one.

 

trading in a car because the clutch is bad? now thats loyalty right there!!

 

Yeah, lol.

Wierd, also!

EP3 clutches should last forever! Our stock clutches are beasts!

 

well i bought my ep3 when it had 61k and now its has 75k its been about 10 months now lol. i dont kno if the first owner couldnt drive stick for **** or abused it alot but when i hit like4500rmp to 5500 the clutchs slips like a motherfu2k3r. s2k naw 2 seaters arent for me. i prob end up getting a rsx type is in white! yay or a poopy orange srt4 and mod that. or the last choice a 2009 civic si or 2008 doenst matter cuz the fixed the tranny probs for thoose years i think

 

Yeah the 08+ have smooth trannies.

RSX-S has a way better motor. I wouldn't mind having one.

members reported on ephatch that they went as far as 120,000 on stock clutch and still going.

 

damn thats ashame mine is taking a poop on me at 75k lol would it have anything to do with letting my sister learn how to drive a stick??? lol

 

I hope not because I let my gf learn stick on it.

Also my sister bounced off the rev limiter while feathering the clutch.

I'll prayer for now because I only have 50k on it.

So what car have you decided on?

 

Dang man I hope mine isn't going out soon. I got 68k on mine and no signs of slip. But I agree the ep looks like a van till rims and spoiler. Then it looks hot. Getta tsx they are sweet.

 

get a 2006 acura tsx. i have one. and you can mod it pretty well!

 

lol damn my sister did the same too lol i tryed not have the look on my face that i was in pain lol. haha im leaning more on a 08 si becuase the tsx are expenisve and damn well where the hell can i get 6 speed one you know. lol oh and well i treated my ep3 very well and change oil and plugs all the time and i riped on it alot. but damn i still kind of mad this is happenind right now lol i just put in my HIDS 2 days ago and boom this happens ha ha ha

 

not mine only 50k and i need a new one
