what new mods for rsx type-s

[rsxballa]

i just picked up a new rsx type-s. what mods should i start out with on this beast?

[crazy_canuck]

Injen CAI ( http://store.clubrsx.com has it cheapest and available in a gunmetal colour not available anywhere else)

Revo ShortShifter also from ClubRSX

Springs

Rims

[RSX-S777]

If you want to stay NA, go with the basic 3 everyone starts with: a good intake (AEM, Injen), header (Comptech) and exhaust(Greddy Evo II, Magnaflow, Borla). Then focus on suspension (Coilovers or springs, stbs etc.) and then any aesthetic crap...

[crazy_canuck]

If I may add, for gains, a race header is where the gains are at and are made by Comptech, DC Sports, Jackson Racing and TODA.

[RSX-S777]

Are race headers legal in Canada? They don't fly in the U.S., unfortunately...

[crazy_canuck]

Not legal, but there aren't any inspections so it doesn't really matter that much. Many people still run race headers though gains of over 20 whp sometimes. I heard the TODA gets 28.

Hmmm...national health coverage and the opportunity to run race headers...damn U.S....

National health coverage? Huh? I didn't think the US had such a thing. Where do I sign up?

I'm sure there are alot of things that people do to their autos without it being legal. Like driving around with concealed Nitrous kits in their trunks. It's just a matter of whether you get caught or not. I've heard of someone getting pulled over with one of those in their cars by a cop and was given a warning to take it out. Don't know what happened, but I'm sure he's still got it in there.

So if you're brave enough, I'm sure you can do that kind of stuff in Canada too!

No, I was talking about Canada. I'd like that here, too...Damn cheap country (U.S.)...

Anyway, sure, you can install what you want on your car- but if you can't pass inspection or get pulled over by the cops every two seconds, it's not gonna do you much good...

[crazy_canuck]

heh


State Troopers use Nitrous so why can't we?

Just one thing to keep in mind - the 200hp is NOT at the wheels which is what really matters. You actually only get about 170hp at the wheels which could be bumped up with MORE POWER.

Whoops! Thought you were from Canada. I can't seem to keep it straight. The U.S. isn't bad in terms of health coverage - only that you need a job to have it or pay through the nose!

True, but if your tanks are hidden and there's no way for them to tell, they can't search the car unless they have a reason to do so. Just don't use them to blow by the cop, and you should be fine! Oh, and make sure not to use them when you go to emissions either!
