Default OT:I love the RSX!!!!

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my fun time in a RSX today.

I went to a local car club meet and was walking around, looking at the cars when my eyes looked at a Honda integra(Acura RSX) with the C-west kit.

I thought I was dreaming, it was the Dark blue with all Honda emblems. I started talking to the guy and found out it had the TEIN suspension, Mugen ECU and HKS exhaust, and some other mods to the motor.
He took me for a little ride and I can't believe the power it was producing.

The car was amazingly fast, and also, the owner knew how to shift very very well and was skilled at it.

I'm still amazed at how the car performed and handled.

I'll try to get him to send me some pictures of his car so I can share this beautiful machine with the rest of the DC5/EP3 crew

you must haven't been in a lot of cars

an rsx with ecu and exhaust isn't really characterized as "fast"

-Ferrari F355 berlinitta(SP?)
-1994 Porsche 911 Turbo
-2003 Dodge Viper

and my friends own 1993 Nissan 300ZX tt and N/A and I know that the RSX can keep up with the N/A 300zx.

But like I said, first time in a RSX but I'm surprised how well it performed

i can name a 300zx that no rsx can keep up with lol.....


but hey the rsx is fast depending on what you are comparing it to.

if your last car was like a hyundai accent, holy **** the rsx type-s is fast.
if your last car was a ferrari, well you'd be crying in the rsx

Well I hope no Ferrari owner buys an RSX for speed or anything, that would be a serious donwgrade. Nice pics, I am a new gen Civic/RSX hater but that actually looks really good.
