Save the money youd spend on upgrades for the 5 speed and just get the Type-S to begin with.

The S starts off with ivtec on intake and exhaust valves (as opposed to intake cam only for base), higher compression ratio and a single set of intake runners as opposed to dual stage in the base (better high rpm). S also has upgraded rotors I think.

Talk to Sageprime about superchargers and other equipment on the base RSX. His is maxed with intercooler etc....Either way it's gonna cost some big money...

i only want to say that i have a turbocharger not a supercharger, and i know you know the difference.....oh and thanks for suggesting this kidd to speak with me.....i guess i can say now, that if this kidd wants to upgrade his car to make up for the extra 40 hp, he can go with the basics intake/exhaust/headers, and flash his ecu wiht honadata (if that's how u spell it) if you plan on going the forced induction route, due to the lower compression i would go with the 5-speed base model. I went with the "semi-automatic" because i purchased the car not fully into imports!!!
