since rxs-s is now to be see everywhere i hope those thieve will steal those rsx install of itr. remove itr from the number 1 stolen vehicle to numober2.
sorry for those who owns rsx. but hehe i'll be happy if rsx become the top one stolen car. so i dont have to worry that much.

so selfish..

they steal the itr's to make big money from selling the parts. they can't do much with the rsx other than sell it as a complete car which isn't as profitable and much more dangerous.

 

they cant still the engine and tear the car a part to sell it ?

 

the engine won't bolt into other cars like the B18 will....

 

With the new slivic being on the same chassis, you don't think that people with new civics won't be able to bolt in the RSX's engine?

 

i think even tho its the same chasis, the civic still spins the same way while the rsx spins the opposite like the s2000l....i wonder if anyone's going to attempt to drop the s2k engine in the rsx...altho its proably not worth it for the price of the s2k engine

 

Yes hopefully the theives will be stealing less the ITR's. Sorry RSX owners, but everybody is saying your car is much better, right?

 

The specs on the new civic si motor, from what I've read, are the exact same as the base model rsx (160hp, 2.0L, ect.) so it's probably the same engine. Car companies will usually use the same motor in as many cars as they can to cut cost for them and the consumer. I think a transplant of the rsx-s motor into the civic si body will be the new hybrid and would probably be pretty quick.

 

Sorry guys but thats not how it works. The RSX will most likely become a theft target when crashed ones start popping up in salvage yards and an "RSX black market" is established by those repairing and/or rebuilding RSX's the "not so legit" way. Still does not take any heat off the ITR. Since there are hundreds of thousands of Civics (88-00) in circulation that will accept a B series swap. So if you wanna be stupid and assume that thieves will now target the RSX over the ITR. THINK AGAIN!

Ok to clarify I don't think the RSX will be the new target for theft, I do think the engine will fit the new civic si. In fact I think the ITR will be a target for many years to come, unfortunately.

 

Actually an rsx got stolen around my apt about two weeks ago, A silver S, so thats why I decided not to get one
