that freakin car hasn't even been out for a year yet and tanabe AND Greddy already have exhausts for them. I'm just ranting because our cars have been out for a while, and there's still relatively not many parts.

Not too many companies are workign on our cars right now since it's so freakin wierd!

I mean superchargers got cancelled, some turbo companies stop making their turbos for our cars (but HKS has a prototype). I dunno our car's are just too differant from the older ones (since we have a new generation). Just give it some time, and we'll get some stuff. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]


EDIT: Oh yeah, and our cars are too freakin restrictive. ULEV (BAH, who needs it [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] )!!!

Just like with the older civics....

no one wants to put out tons of parts for a crappy SOHC engine. The RSX block is DOHC (The B Block of the new engines so to say).

Big companies like Spoon never worked on the D Block, why waste there time ya know?

I still dont think it would make sense to not bother making stuff for our cars. There are a sh1tload more civics out there than there are rsxs so that mean a lot more potential buyers for aftermarket parts. Why would it matter so much to them if the performance gains aren't as great as long as they sell a lot of product and make mucho denero.

The RSX is just a better platform, the engine, especially the K20A2, is really responsive to modifications. So companies will definitely put more research into cars that they know they can get great numbers out of.

The Si will prob just be able to use the same stuff the Base RSX can, considering its the same engine. &lt;---No D Block there
