yea it has 50,000km im sure its still on warentie but this car has SO much body roll and seems like its a dead end when it comes to making it funner.I drove the 06 civic si and its way funner and handles so well for its weight but i hate the way it looks, so i figure the rsx-s would be better aas a fun DD.

Well, I like the rsxs, but I wont do that. Stick with the 7th gen- you can make that thing fun. If you get the rsx, everyones going to want to race you- it gets old- my boy had a rsx- its pretty rediculous driving with him, its like clockwork. Anyways, give it an awesome wash and detail, get some spring/struts - drive it- smile, go pick up some rims and low profile tires. It'll feel like its on rails. My boy had an 01 vic and man, it was pretty rediculous on the turns, **** didnt roll AT ALL. Anyways- your car has a LOTS of potential. Just start doing something with it!!

start modding the car man. a stock rsx will get boring just as much as the 'vic. keep the vic, lots of potential, and cheaper insurance

I hate how people disreagaurd our cars, there skipped on all the part web sites and peple pretend they wearnt made. Thats why I love seeing a 7thgen )turbo, nitrous, swap) putting a beat down on some other car even if it's another Honda!

Actually, the em2 is a very good platform for an autocross car. With the right combination of suspension mods, our cars handle very well. Personally, I know what you mean about the RSX, tho. I like the look of it a lot better than the civic. But, if I could afford even a used RSX, I'd probably just drop an few extra grand and get the new Si. It depends on what you're looking for. Do you want a car that's decently fast and handles ok stock?? Or do you want something that you've modded yourself, and is unique?? Once you answer that question, you'll know what to do.

I say keep your 7thgen as well. Like others said. Stock RSX's will get boring as well.

a question you must asked yourself is this. What don't you like about your 7thgen??

Re: my dirty daily driver

I love the RSX-S. I almost bought one before I got my civic, but insurance turned me off from buying it. I love my little 7th gen. I have an 02 EX right now, and in a couple of weeks i'll have an 01 lx...with a k20a2 and some suspension goodies. I'd just wait it out man. Save up for a swap or turbo and then you'll love your car. Our cars are so fun with some tasteful mods.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the emII and DC5 pretty much share the same chassis?
