Re: (dacaveman)
Right now I have the Icebox,Power getter, and the #4 Hondata flash and I love the way my car drives and sounds. I think I've spent about $1450 so far so if you've got another $1000 on top of what I listed, I would either buy a Quaiffe or the Comptech race header.

Re: (S14sx2nr)
It's kinda hard finding someone who recommends against it.

1. Fuel
2. Timing
3. VTC
4. Lowers vtec to 5200(stock 57-5800)
5. Raises fuel cut to 8600(stock 8100)
This flash is amazing. I've only had it for about a week and I swear it seems faster every time I drive it. The best part is definitely the low end torque and how much more responsive it feels. I was a little hesitant about spending $600, but now that I've got it, I feel like it was worth every penny. Plus my exhaust was close to $600 and I didn't feel ANY power from it.

Injen intake...250$ A good set of tires...Falken Azenis 80$ a pop...Hondata-600$, Jackson Racing Header..550-600$ and whatevers left for a good set of coilover/damper ....ex Tein Flex, JIC FLT-A2's, Tein SS....dont go halfways w/ springs...springs=no good in my opinion..had springs on my rsx-s for a week then sold them and found the stock suspension actually better...now adjustable coilover/damper..ex..JIC FLTA2's..totaly different story

Re: Rsx-S mods questions (sytema)
I have spent:
220 on injen cai > adventon.com
100 on eibach prokit > used
120 ignalls camber kit (rear) > clubrsx
400 fujitsubo power getter > used
220 on j's torque dampener > polepostion
580 on hondata 4 > prospeed
1095 rota slipstreams / toyo t1-s
2730 on performance and i run low 9's in the 1/8th which is low 14's in the 1/4 in crappy so cal heat
You can afford it if you just get the tires. Instead of wheels (2730-450 =2280 ) 3lbs on each corner from unsprung weight doesn't do much IMO...
My future plans = toda spec a package 1,800
hytech or prospeed race header = 1000 (estimate + when they come out)
type r manifold with hondata gasket = 300 (estimate)
and with this setup i hope to hit low-mid 13's on street tires

Re: Rsx-S mods questions (kryzeofkrayzie)
I've heard that you have to relocate the washer bottle for the AEM cai intake, do you still have to do it with the Injen? And is there any diffrence in gains/sound between the AEM and Injen CAI?

Re: Rsx-S mods questions (Stellar1)
AEM CAI makes significant gains over the Injen. Jeez, waaaaay back in the day we had an intake shootout w/ AEM and Injen invited themselves and we tested at R&D Dyno in Gardena and the AEM system proved superior once and for all. Injen was there to witness.
