Whatever. Its not like I can go too far on the RS... From how you guys put it, all that can happen is the engine will blow.

you guys are being n00bs. Type S are quick cars. NO not fast but they very very easily can hit high 13s with a few boltons and hondata

I drove my dad's stock TSX today, and that is a hell of a lot faster than the RS. It hits 100 in about 14 seconds, takes the eclipse a lot longer. The RSX Type-S is lighter, and has a bit more horsepower to it..

This is how is going down for me..

If in some way, I can come by a turbo kit and someone who can install it for the Eclipse, I might consider it.

Otherwise, its the Type-S for 9 grand with 30-40k miles.

Or if I somehow come by more cash, the Evo VIII. That'd be amazing.

why dont you check out dsmtrader.com and see ifyou can come across a gst or gsx. Ive seen some pretty nice ones their at really
good prices. GSX would be the way to go, otherwise you will always have tractions issues.

Thats true, but my car for the most part has about the same potential. I'm not a fan of buying cars that are older than mine for my main car.. So i'm not sure.

Your car has very very little potencial lol no offence but to run 13s it would cost you close to $4k if not slightly more.
