Having owned both of these cars I'd have to agree with the two different animals comment. My TC felt torquey compared to the RSX, but up top it is completely different. TC dies at 6k (stock) and the RSX is just gettin good.

BlackKnight, I have no intentions of ever turning turbo with the RSX. I wanted to turbo the TC because that is the only way I see people getting decent improvements out of them. My RSX will stay all motor.

 

Port and Polish head, Port match, slightly bigger cams, and Hondata! I say go for it and if you can stroke it BC makes a lot of kits.

 

Ordered greddy Ti-C 70mm exhaust yesterday. Today I am ordering Hondata Kpro. Next week I am getting tuned. Should get decent gains with Kpro, some say 15-25hp in midrange from Kpro alone, we'll see I guess. That's all I plan on doing for a while. Maybe in spring look into cams for it and a race header. It's going to be a slow build due to lack of funds. We'll see how the kpro and exhaust help. I'll be takin it to the track in a few weeks.

 

I was going to get an S type before I got my tC... didn't get it because like a civic your really limited on where you really want to go.... since they love stealing them for their motors.

 

friends h22 98 civic hatch was stolen and it was so crazy how they stole it, alarm didn't sound it had 4 boots (one on each wheel) and missing the steering wheel. they muct have brough in a fork lift to pick it up and put it on a flat bed bc that was jus too insane I can't think of wat other way they coulda done it

 

dude my boy is a cop in the bronx...... you should see some of the pictures he showed me.... and 80% of the time, its either a integra, civic, or rsx..... now they started stealing is300.... and they are mostly cars from out of state.... my boy had a 99 Si.... he went outside to warm it up and literally took 3 minutes inside is house... when he came out it was stolen....crazy

 

yup easiest effing cars ever to steal. U can pop the hood on the tiggy threw the driver side front wheel well. theres a cord there u pull on and VOILA! ur in. its so crazy people are so desperate for those cars. not even, jus for the parts

 

*teggy

 

There was a guy on honda tech who had his Integra Type R stolen out of his house. The house had an alarm which was set, and the car's alarm in the garage was set. They broke in and took it in the middle of the night.

The grim reality, if they want your car, they will get your car.

 

basically, over here by me the cars that get stolen the most are hondas (integras/civic/preludes) and volkswagens (jettas/gti's MK2/3 models) i was scared sh*tless when i had my jetta, theres a shop around here called RAP tuning that will have sum1 follow u to ur house to see where u live (ofcourse they think u dont know) but i saw them follow me once and i ended up driving extra far so they wouldnt wanna come. MK3s are so easy to steal

 

that's sooooo funny because there's a shop in my town that does the same thing..... but what they do is when you pay with a credit card they asked you for I.D. that way they can write down your info.... the shop name is called stage 2.... in my town they mostly steal civics, and integras..

 

lol, Honda's.

Oh wait...

 

That's why when I had my ITR swapped hatch it looked completely stock and I did all of my own work to it. I always watched my ___ comin back from town or the track. It sucks being paranoid like that.
