Just wondering what model i should look at too get?Im not new too honda's at all,i have a civic ex and a crx.Just wondering i may sell them and be looking for around 15k or so.What should i look at?Prolly not a type-s, but hows the standard rsx is it the same engine as the si?Is it modable?

 

Well for the money at the time when the EP first came out, the demand wasn't there. So the price was very attractive. If you can get a good deal on an EP, go for it. There shold be some 03's still in the lot and with that said, they shold be letting them go cheap. I use mine for a daily driver, and have a lot of fun drving it. The body is stiff as hell! Your'll love the shifter too!!

yeah man, for the money you are lookin at go with a EP.. you'll love it

 

i found used ep's for 13000 or so.I heard they run 16's or so.Thats too slow for me.Isnt the base model rsx alot lighter as well?

 

That's a fair price for a used EP. These Hondas are heavier than previous. The EP is in the same boat as the RSX though, so it's minimal. Ya the EP is slow at first, but with Honda's new K Series, these things have the potential to move.

If you're running 16s with the EP, let someone else drive it. There's no huge weight difference either.

 

What you have to give up in weight, you'll gain exponentially in chassis rigidity

Yeah, really depends alot though. Driver, overall conditions, etc.

SI Curb Weight (lbs., MT) 2782
Base RSX Curb Weight (lbs., MT) 2721
Type-S Curb Weight (lbs., MT) 2778

This is from Hondanews.com. Funny, I remember the Type-S being heavier than the SI by a few lbs. Acura.com has the Tupe-S at 2767. So I guess it is all in who you ask. Eh, really doesn't matter.

 

I ran low 15.4's stock and i'm a newbie. Few bolt ons and you'll hit high 14s with a ep3.

 

the rsx is an attractive lookin car, but if u just want a quick car to turn into a racer, get the SI. I have an RSX-S and I love that damn car. Test drive both the base and the SI and see which one u like.

 

wow well i was going off the info from car-videos.com, i saw on autotrader.com that the base weighs 2400 or so.And that the si weighs the most????Hmm weird.Whats the difference between the two, in the engine.Also can you mod a base rsx like you can a si?

 

The base RSX has the same motor as in the Si...

Yes it is weird, unless you have a way to weigh it. Then don't really believe those numbers. Don't seem right to me.

 

the EP isnt all that slow at all. i have had mine for over a year now, and still love it. cant wait for this summer tho. a friend of mine went to the track with his EP, and ran a 15.4, first time at the track and everything. if you want good times at the track and want to be fast, save your cash and get the JRSC like i did.

 

exactly what he said.

 

SI4U2NV...... what kind of times have you ran with you JRSC in your SI? also what total mods do you have to your SI? tell me about the SC, pro's cons and reliability? thanks

 

EP3 all the way

 

yea man i would go with the ep3 for sure!!!!!!
