new car...?

[macavelli04]

Yo, i was thinkin bout gettin a new car and tradin in my 97 rs but im not sure what to get... im lookin at the acura rsx's but i dont think i would get a new one, prolly just a certified used. and i was also lookin at the nissan SE-R's too.. what would be the better choice? if you have any ideas please tell me...i want a good car that would last a long time and would take mods good, peace.

The rsx is a better car but if your lookin for more room and a bigger trunk the se r is a better choice.

i have an idea go ask the nissan guys what they think becuse i think i speek for most DSM guys when i say keep the eclipse but that is just personal oppion

[Chavez408]

GSX!!

You can get a decent GSX with decent miles for, what, 7000-7500? Maybe cheaper.

dsmtuners.com i think it is has a list of mods that will get you to 300 hp and 400 hp VERY easily, if you can do the tuning yourself. Cost is very low as well.

However, if you're dead set against an Eclipse, try a V6 TT like a 3000gt-Stealth, 300zx, they have a LOT of potential.

Huh?

Really I think this post is misleading in more ways than I can count.

The only GSX that will go for the amount you quoted is maybe like a '95 with tons of miles on it or I dunno what. But a decent one like you quoted youself would probably run closer to 10G+ easy. If it was 7G's, thats what I would of bought.

Secondly I'm no expert, but I know hitting 400whp isn't something that is "VERY easily" (ie. easy). Also 300 and 400 is a big difference.

I won't waste more time replying to this as this was probably not a very serious reply to begin with.

Get a 300ZX TT 5speed, 91-95 model. Great cars and lots of potential.

But I would go with the RSX if i were you. Get the factory apperance package minus the wing. They look so nice with no wing at all. A black one or a white one would be the best IMO. Great cars, and quite a bit of power. Make sure you get a Type-S tho. It really does make a difference.

Happy buying

[macavelli04]

yea i really like the rsx's and the price difference between the type s and the regular isnt much difference

[macavelli04]

im tryin to find somethin that i can have through college which will be bout 6 or so years and i can keep adding mods little by little as i get the money and would last that long. i would really like to have a gst or gsx but you cant really find them without that many miles and theyre pretty expensive being used an all

[smokeurass]

The rsx is a piece-o-shit. It is way over priced and you wont be able to make high hp. The parts are expensive n everything. The only honda/acura i would ever buy is s2k.

Go with a gsx, whether or not it has high miles.

High miles has nothing to do with the car, you have to look at the condition of the car.

I looked for my car for about 4 months, you just have to keep lookin.

The 95 gsx will be about maybe you can get a deal. A 97 will sell for maby 7500, thats not even close to your 20k rsx, plus with the stuff u said you wanna do. If your in collage, how you gonna pay for all that.

Go wit gsx.

[Sevren]

Decent miles means lower than 150, not lower than 50. I was wrong a bit, I guess. I dunno. I define things loosely. If you're looking for HP stock, for cheap, go with a SRT-4. If you want a new car.

[89Turbo944]

95 GSX prone to crankwalk. Dont get one.

Go with the RSX, you CAN make gobs of power out of the K series engine. I have seen 350whp on a Type-S. They are reliable, fun to drive, look pretty nice.

But really, why do you need high hp? You cant use it on the street.

^ Have you ever driven an RSX Type-S, or an S2000? To tune an S2000 it would cost MUCH more than an RSX. The parts are far more expensive. Also you basicly have no room in one. So an RSX is a good comprimise of performance, and functionality. And please elaborate on what makes the RSX a "piece-of-shit".

[Afrokid]

yeah, u most be smokin something to call the RSX "A piece of shit"...there are other cars besides DSMs that are good out there. the rsx is a nice car for a reasonable price [24,000]. it can make pretty good power, but mods do tend to be on the exspensive side. An Eclipse will last u a long time, if your lucky...so your better off getting something more reliable. try a Civic maybe?

If you feel like it, you can.

My girlfriend got an RSX TS for her b-day. Theres nothing special about it, its another car, way overpriced. You could just buy a honda and swap the motor. Honestly, wut is it about the RSX that makes worth the buy, nothing. You've seen 350 hp, pfff. Get a EVO. Get a supra, damn.

The s2000 is a work of art. Everything on it can literally be swapped for carbon fiber. You wont even need power mods. Yes it is expensive, but when you compare the amount you spend for the rsx to the s2000 with power to weight ratio in mind, the s2000 wins, by far.

[89Turbo944]

My father owns an S2000, silver with CF hood, fenders, trunk, hardtop, coilovers, mugen intake, mugen ECU.
It is fast, and great to drive. But practical??? Hardly.

The RSX has much more space. And for someone going to collage this is a good thing. Room to shag

No dought about it, s2000 is an awsome car, cut the RSX is much more suited to daily driving. You can shag in the s2000, i know for a fact, but there isnt quite enough room to get cunfeeee.
