test drove a type s
So I was a little bored sunday afternoon so I went to my friendly local acura dealership and looked at an RSX typeS. Managed to get a test drive. Crap! that thing is fast! Like really fast, and it turns and stops and everything. I wish they werent 23k, I might get one if they were a little cheaper. only downside to driveing a car like that is that now my civic feels really really slow.

Rep Power: 308 I should be saving a lot of money by going to a local college (i.e. not paying for room and board), so hopefully I will be getting one in the near future...just maybe...
My SL65 rim, because a rim is all I can afford

Rep Power: 319 I bet an RSX-S would beat, or at very least keep up with WRX. Well, maybe not with a launch, but once they get going... I spanked WrX's with my old Civic... Then agian that thing killed alot of cars, wish I still had it, stupid thieves
Titanium Metallic. You got a problem with that?

Rep Power: 351 It will not hold up with a wrx. At high speeds it can take the wrx, cuz its awd and a lot heavier. I/H/E will also get you a lot more out of the WRX. Do a full exhaust like my friend and unleash an additional 36 to all 4 wheels. Take out the resonator on the intake (dont even need a CAI) and theres another 5 to the wheels. An RSX -S is an awesome car, but overall the WRX was better for me.

WRX's stock run 0-60 in 5.4 seconds...An rsx-type-s prolly like low 6's...a civic like high 10's...

Anyways- yeah, I like the Type-S. I want the egine and the interior. Styling is aight, but I honestly like the civic's looks better.

Rep Power: 319 it was a B16A with CTR cam and a ITR final drive. LSD tranny. '94 civic DX with a partially stripped interior.
It was fast and fun, then someone stole and actually knew enough to advance the timing... but they advanced it to far blew the head gasket, cracked the heads and got coollant all over the internals, had to junk the engine
