Default New Rsx Owner

Hey guys, I'm new here. I just bought a 2002 RSX base, 5 speed manual. Just checking in with you guys. Im new to the Honda world, my last car was a mid 12 second GTP. What are some things I should check out on the rsx? It has 104k miles on it. Just shoot me some ideas. Thanks!

Congrats. Time for the modding to begin! Wheels, tires, and suspension are great mods to get started with. Regardless of what power mods you end up getting, you'll still need handling and grip!

To be honest guys, there probably wont be much engine modding with this car. Its already lowered on eibachs, and is blue with white factory wheels.

I went through numerous motors on the Grand Prix, they were fun when they ran, but I never had a motor last more than 4 months of abuse.

And that's the difference between imports and dumbestics.

You'll see PLENTY of highly modified stock motors putting down serious power in Honda/Acuras, for lots of miles. Welcome to the "other" side
