well if its paid for... wait are u still under warranty??? if so then whats stopping you from k-swapping it??? but yea what about the rsx do u like so much??? the engine? the sound?? the look? the interior?? or is it the whole deal??? if u answered the whole deal... im sorry but y dont u just trade in or sell your civic and get a 06 rsx-s.....

D17TURBO 03-17-2007 01:42 PM

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, shit didnt roll AT ALL. Anyways- your car has a LOTS of potential. Just start doing something with it!!

THERE IS ALOT YOU CAN DO TO MAKE IT FUN, YOU CAN ADD SPRINGS TO LOWER IT 1.3 DROP AND PROGRESS SWAY BARS FRT AND REAR AND IT WILL RIDE ON RAILS AND GET 17" WHEELS AND SPORT STIFF WALL TIRES . SEE MY MODS THREAD AND SEE ALL THE MODS I HAVE DONE , IT CAN BE FUN BUT YOU HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT . DO YOUR RESEARCH AND START AND GAME PLAN ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO CRAZY LIKE ME . JUST DO SOME HIGH LIGHTS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE FUN TO DRIVE. GOOD LUCK:tup:

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 :)

Caps lock pwns you.

Boost the shit out of your 'vic and do some suspension work. You'll love it.

burke420 03-17-2007 09:02 PM

boost, suspension, and 16's with 205/50s. ive got 2 of them.. waiting on the turbo. but until then, i love the turns and get some Gforce kdw nt. youll love them. nice car, has some potential. save the EMII

DaddyFatSacks 03-17-2007 09:24 PM

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.

Honda bros U- Nite i say keep it like everyone else says ...<b>you get what u put into it </b>

phuviano 03-18-2007 01:03 AM

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??

D17TURBO 03-18-2007 01:55 PM

I like the head room since im tall, its practicle with the large trunk sapce, its paid for with custom cruise and car starter, neweR, reliable,good on gas but handles like a drunk muel.

burke420 03-18-2007 02:01 PM

i have come a plenty of times to getting a 350Z, RSX-S, civic SI, or even a S2000. i know ill love the more power, but i cant get rid of my car. too much into it soo far, not boost or swap yet, but until then..... i cant wait. i wont get rid of it. ive placed at Nopi in it, and i dont wanna get rid of a possible show winner, and all-out fun car!

D17TURBO 03-18-2007 02:05 PM

well il get adj.koni yellows and i want a turbo kit but so many people argue about turbo vs k swap but the price of the k swap is retarded .

where do you get thoose foglights and side markers, are the side markers fake?

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?
