experience with racing Rsx type S

I just wanted to see how other 4 gens stay up with this new breed of hondas. The new civic si's too.

I have only raced 1 rsx type-s and it had an aem intake, he was talkin all types of sh*t, we raced from a light and I pulled in every gear.
Those new si's are poop, I destroyed one, 5 times he tried to pass me, I was just pulllin and then let off and pulled again.
I think honda should have kept to their small displacement, high reving engines like the b-series. They are formula one engines designed for the street. And I get 20+ mpg . Whats up!!

What im workin with:

88 civic dx hatch with 89' b16a with limited slip differential from integra xsi,

iceman intake
Groundwire kit
hi-flow cat
2 1/4" mandrel bent
Apexi N1
Energy suspension shift bushings (nice!!!)
Black 92' integra gsr rims
White with VIS ZC Carbon fibre hood
jdm amber corners
jdm amber sidemarkers
gutted back

I blow them out of the water, hands down. :D

That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I can't wait for my b16...

kris, i would hope that lil 2 liter of yours would be fast :)

Regardless of size of engine, you've still got a major weight advantage on him too.

I dunno though... the new EP's are growing on me... I'm starting to think about getting one these days.

ok maybe i'm totally wrong, but i still don't think a stock 4th gen would beat a stock rsx-s, so yes size of engine can be a factor. and i wasn't just saying a 2 liter, i was hinting at his b20VTEC

i like the slight redesign of the '04 civics, and the si, they look much better than the '03 models, even though it only looks as if they changed the front lights, and bumpers.

I wasn't talking about Kris's post... of course his B20 VTEC is going to smoke the RSX/Civic Si's in the world

I was talking about the 89 Civic dx w/b16a w/LSD
Maybe smaller engine size, but not too much of a power difference, and the Civic DX weighing in at a little over 2k and the RSX/Civic almost at almost 3k...

I'm still thinking about getting myself an EP though... I need something to carry my golf clubs in :P

id say u would def beat the new si's but the type-s is a lil tricky, but hey u must be a good driver and have a quick lil 4gen, mad props...im workin on beatin the one in my town..lol wit my d15/with d16 vtec head

2.0 is still pretty small displacement i think. i really dont know about b series being formula 1 engines for the street buddy. the k series is lighter, stronger, and has a much better flowing head than any b series. not to mention about the same mpg.

but not to MENTION can you afford it...lol

B16s are slow!

Just curious but why are u bringing up all these threads 3 months old spoontyper95?
