Default 06 rsx type s

Just got it and damn I am happy. It saddens me how easy it is to hook up this car, and how much cheaper compared to my S. I am dying to get the comptech race header for this thing. After that I will be getting the 70mm t1r exhaust. I wish that aj-pwr would post a sound clip for that puppy. A company called ips makes some sick cams for this car. With less money I will give a few s2k's a run for their money in this thing. Damn I wish my S would take to mod's like the rsx.

Does the '06 RSX come with an LSD? Are there any differences from the '05? Oh, forgot to add, congrats on the new car.

no lsd yet. Just race from a roll. These people at k-series.com are doing some sick stuff with the rsx. I cant believe some of the dyno's that members are posting the k series engine is no joke. The 06 and 05 are the same. stock the car comes with 4.77's.

thanks version jdm i will have a lot of fun in this thing. It is as close to the s2k engine as is currently out there. when you get on it, sounds alot like the s2k. The gearing makes a big difference in this car versus my old 03 rsx. the interior is georgeous and the fit and finish does not fit a car that only costs 25k. It seems like way too much bang for the buck.

Nice car

I however can't stand FWD and would have taken a new 06 WRX over it.

wrx= i agree fwd is not the best but rsx is very underrated, underestimated, and chalk full of potential. just look at the forums and see all the guys that run right next to s2k's with i/h/e, shit get a kpro and kick some ass! the s2k and rsx are the best 4 cylinder powered cars made right now.

rsx=hell ya!

my next car will be a e46 m3(ya right) or a rsx type s( more like it)....in addition to the s.

I was considering the wrx-sti, the gas mileage and the extra 10k swayed my final choice. The fwd only comes into play out the dig. afterwards you cant even tell, the car is very impressive. for 5k in mods the car will have close to 240whp in N/A trim. Very good bang for the buck, with good old honda reliability.

The most powerful 4 cylinders that honda makes are the rsx and the s2k. and lets not forget the tsx bottom with the rsx head. k-pro is an ass kicking setup.
