im new here .. i cant decide whether to get a rsx or a civic... both used of course
auto rsx or civic ex


what are the pros, cons ?

 

welcome man.....waht are you future plans for it and you can make your decisions off that. what your plans man??

 

im kinda new so im not EXACTLY sure .. i know people say save up for a turbo ... are na parts worth it ? like pullies , cai , and what not ?

welll first i want the looks .. cf hood , and a kit .. to start off then i have no clue what i want to do

i want speed but .. is it worth the price ?

 

you're gonna pay more for the rsx in all areas, payments, gas, tires, parts, insurance, etc.

but the rsx is slightly more upscale.

in the end both are hondas, of course...

 

Is the civic a stick? I'd go for the civic and just put an RSX motor in it!!! Think outside the box! The RSX isn't going to be much fun unless you want to trade it out for a stick shift.

 

haha i dont have all that money. . get civic swap rsx engine .. blah blah ... im lookin for something simple .. swapping an engine would require a bunch of **** .. suspension and what not .. installation .. this that .. i dont even know if it fits ...

the civic is auto // the rsx is auto


are there any more PROS and CONS ??

 

i like rsx .. cuz of the tiptronic ...

but since this is a civic forum .. im sure you guys have a bunch to say about the two
so im just looking for some overall comments .. and if u have indepth insight .. please enlighten me

 

You're on your own then...Sorry

 

Between an auto Civic and an auto RSX... I'd probably take the bus.

But in all seriousness, I'd take the RSX.

 

well do what i am doin. right now i have an auto civic. all i got is kit, rims, intake, exhaust..... i am putting the si/base rsx engine in with a manual conversion. dont go for the bolt on mods such as pullies and stuff. you wont get a significant amount of power out of the money you will put. just do the k20a3 swap. you can get engine, Tranny, ecu, axles, sub frame, wiring harness, everything for arouond $1900. i would reccomend getting a donor car, such as totaled rsx or ep3 and go from there. oh adn i just found me a totaled rsx, waiting on a price for it
