Default Thinking of buying an RSX want to hear feedback.

Thinking of Selling my 00SI for to purchase an RSX. My SI is currently a 12 second car, and I would want simlar results out of an RSX. From what I have read on the K series you are almost better off staying NA the Turbo Kits only put 250 wheels, I was wondering what avenues there were to modifying the car I would proally start with about 5 grand and I was thinking a Cam Package like toda C's and a AEM EMS. Just want to hear some arguments from boosted and and NA heads. Thx.

Well if you searched on the net more you would see that with a greddy turbo kit and hondata, you get almost 300 hp. you can alway make more power with FI. it's all about tunning.

Cybernation Stage 2 RSXs are putting out around 380-400hp at the wheels.

if you want to go boosted, why not get a WRX? they are capable of handling turbo.

well u certainly won't get a 12sec car with 5000 worth of mods on the N/A route. turbo will be not easy to get to 12sec with 5000 either. even if u get the cn kit for 5g's, u still need new tires and prob transmission stuff

The RSX is an expensive car to make fast, but I think it's worth it. The Evo and STi can run in the 12s with relatively little mods, but to take a 15 second car and turn it into a 12 second car is more respectable IMO.

They are not a bad car, there is getting to be more and more after market support for them now, and would make a good project car in the end.
