Opinions...
Not sure where I wanna go with my car right now so I want some input from my fellow 7thgeners. Should I turbo (light boost 5psi), swap a k20a3, or trade for a year older base RSX? Now I don't race so I don't plan to have a HP monster or anything. I just want a faster and still reliable car. Turbo worries me since I can run into some problems. K20a3 swap would be nice but pricey. Trading for a base rsx would be a good option since I can do a straight trade although i'm unsure how my insurance would be effected. input?

Don't trade to base, save a little and trade to a type-s

insurance does play a factor too. that's why i ruled out the type s because i'm positive my insurance would be insane.

Yeah, I guess your right.. but man that would so be worth it Out of all those then I would say trade to a base honestly. Your insurance shouldent bump that much more up... but if your REAL concerneda bout insurance, then swap the a3 in =)

I'd say trade in, but if your interested in doing the swap, I have a k20a3 swap w/6 speed transmission, and I'll help you out as much as I can to complete your swap.
