get the car first and go from their, but for now do a lot of research. i was on this site searching for a month before i got my s2000, and im glad i did not buy a single part for the car untill it was in my driveway.

the s2000 is considerably faster than the rsx, u might find that you wont have to mod it at all for speed. why not try looking at thigns to do for suspension

just my opinion

....I dont know too much about turbo or anything. so i figured I'd do some research before i just went out and bought something that SUCKED.
Good idea. Never buy something you don't know much about - go to the library(!) and study what turbocharging does and does not do, even go so far as to invest in a few books yourself. While you are at it, study about all forms of supercharging to round out your knowledge - then you won't be as likely to regret your purchase after you spend the money - "that turbo I bought SUCKS, I should have bought a centrifugal"!

Your history with the RSX sucks - too many driver-associated problems, which point to a less-than-responsible outlook. Getting an even higher performance car to replace the RSX may not be the wisest choice, but it looks like that's what you'll be doing. Glad I don't pay your insurance.....


BTW Monk, Dodge didn't put the 5.9 in Dakotas until R/T production started in 1998. Perhaps your truck has the 5.2 instead.....or did you do an engine swap? My Y2K R/T has a NOVI-blown 5.9 and puts 400 ft.lbs. to the wheels. Had it four years - no tickets, no accidents, and I'm deep into boost every day I drive it....

No offense! Based on your driving record, I suggest your first MOD be done to yourself. Take Driving Lesson from the pro.

By the sound of it (from your RSX experience), your first mod should be a roll of bubble wrap around the car.

Exactly... first modify the driver with some advanced training days.

I agree.. why do you need to mod it.

and learn to drive it as is for a year.. and then when u are in control and really want/need more power.. then upgrade.
