The TSX motor will not fit in the coupe engine bay I dont believe. I have seen one performed on an Si though that with a boost had about 550 ponies.
BTU when we are done with our engines. I propose we join the RSX club up at Promona race way and have a little face off . Dont think can compete with 500 ponies though with only 305 whp estimate on ours :S

His setup cost way more than 10 grand. Even with help from sponsors it is an expensive car.

I feel for your civic man. Id hate be in your spot.

::knocks on wood::

Anyways, I have really only a few more things left to do before spring hits:

Axles
Tires
Coilovers
HKS Speed Limit Defencer

Oh and I keep forgetting about this.......Im gonna be doing custom Functional fender flares. I have to. With the brembos on the car, if I get too crazy of an offset, I may end up with a wheel that hits the calipers, and then id have to use wheel spacers like before. Which brings back to square one. See with the DC5's, they already have some slight flaring by the wheel wells, letting them get away with most aftermarket wheels. Eh, I guess the price I have to pay for superior braking power . Anyways, Hopefully I can find a decent shop around here that can do and not make it like a rolling monstrosity.

Well Ill keep you guys informed on when things start to roll out.
