Teggy and build it up OR just buy another rsx.

[Got Milk?]

I crashed my rsx. And now i have 12k to spend. I was thinking of 2 things to do with the money. One is to buy another rsx-s, and the other choice was to buy a integra gsr,gs,ls and boost the motor with some good turbo(no ebay **** GTFO son)


What do you guys think, should i just buy another rsx-s or go with a cheaper and uglier car and boost the hell out of it?

[slostang]

integra gsr on 8 psi with a stage 3 clutch.

[JITB]

4door gsr!

or get a high mileage rsx..

[13Bracer]

buy my FD:ninja:

[MistaCee]

Get a teggy.

[aaronfelipe]

Get a hatch ;)

[Alan®]

get a life lol

[csmiths]

why not take the motor out of the wrecked rsx and swap into a teggy. now that would be a fun and fast car.

[WhiteAccord]

Why do any of that??? Buy a shell and drop 2jz!!! Simple and done. If you can do it yourself, save half the money. Durh.

[Got Milk?]

^^

Insurance will pay me the money for the car, and they will take it to the auction i guess. So i wont be able to do what i want with the car. Plus it would be a hussle to fit the k20 into a teggy.

and redGT, "Get a Life"?? Please leave negative comments to the WL.

[csmiths]

well most of the time you can buy stuff from the car for dirt cheap. well i would want to drive a kswap teg, but if not able to do i would get another rsx. the 06 model bc those things are pretty fast. you can make good power out of that motor.

[Tech5]

:goodjob: :goodjob:
Get a hatch ;)

[Vteckidd]

oh i dunno, get something with great gas mileage

[DeeAOne]

integra gsr on 8 psi with a stage 3 clutch.driven a car with that exact setup. pretty quick. 13.8 on street tires.

so, go with the teg. lol

[FasTech]

Get a K20 Hatch or just get another RSX-S!

[xdavidscenex]

get a donk!!!

[Humphrizzle]

integra gsr on 8 psi with a stage 3 clutch.

stg 8 clutch.. 8 psi.. must match the stages.

[B18CDELSLO]

go to k20a.org and get a nice k swapped hatch

[Got Milk?]

i did, and they have some pretty sweet swaps.

[blackshine007]

Didn't you get a ticket for doing like almost 90 being under 21? Why don't you save your money up for a scooter being that you're about to loose your license, anyways. How the hell did you wreck the RSX anyways? You wanna waste all your money on something "just quick enough" get a bike and call it a day.

[IndianStig]

NA-T Lexus SC300 dude, that'd be sick

[GuilioG]

F*ck it Boost a B18c Bro! YES SIR !!!!!

[GuilioG]

or get best of both worlds. find a cheap DC and drop in the K20. that would be so sick.

[Got Milk?]

Its easy to say "drop a k20 into a teggy" but beleive me, you gotta do alot of cutting and stuff.

[speedminded]

Buy an RS, it's ALOT cheaper on insurance and when you wreck it too replacing the shell will be cheap.

[GuilioG]

its no hassle if your not a dumb *ss. had my cuz DC2 w/ K20 up and running in one weekend W/ NO HASSLE !

[OTG Signs]

K24/K20 Del Sol / EK Hatch

[OTG Signs]

Its easy to say "drop a k20 into a teggy" but beleive me, you gotta do alot of cutting and stuff.

There's hardly anything involved when people make kits to do it.

[Got Milk?]

well i decided not to do either one. Im buing a Subaru WRX, and upgrade the turbo, and add a FMIC and some other shiznets.

[OTG Signs]

lame

[j0nbunklah0m]

stick with hondaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... or u will get anal probed :O!

[Ronsam2006]

Do you what you feel like. If you loved your RSX to death...then get an RSX. If you want to explore into the boost world and have heard good things about it and the torque it gives, then go for it.

But if it was me and I had to choose between the two, I would definitely choose turbo teggy no matter what. Because with 12k, you could do soooooo much to a teggy, but with 12k, you could also just buy an RSX and call it a day for gas and reliability purposes.

[Got Milk?]

I did love my rsx-s because it was so reliable. But rsx-s lack so much in torque wise. So after i did some researching on the WRX and relized that it has 200+ torque stock, i decided to go with WRX and upgrade some stuff.

[GuilioG]

lame *ss then why did you ask for advice dumb *ass ! :gay:

Because at the time i thought i would do one of those things. But AWD>FWD, so yea do the math why i changed my mind lol.

[87 Turbo II]

FWD ftl, the WRX will be hella better

[Just_CHill]

Sounds good. Good luck.

[Z0_o6]

i assume you mean you are gonna get a regular wrx? cause if you find an sti for 12k dammit im buyin it.

why not put about half that as a down payment for an STi, have a reasonable payment, and 6 grand left over for mods? easy peasy 400awhp, and a better car.

[Hollowmon]

I agree with csmiths98AV6 U would have more fun if you had money left to spend on custom work.

[Hollowmon]

Get the teggy and drop in the K.

[VTECking]

get a DC POS teggy, and drop a k20 in it.

[Jecht]

oh i dunno, get something with great gas mileage

This is the most intelligent reply in this thread.

[BlkCD5]

invest some of it. :2cents:

[Vegaa]

go type r

[Echonova]

BUY ANOTHER HONDA OR I WILL KICK YOU IN THE NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT OTHER PLATFORM CAN YOU HAVE 300-400 HP'S AND STILL RUN 13's?????????


Think about it.

[SandM]

hehehe, adding a FMIC to a wrx..... lolz
hp loss FTMFW

[Bruce Leroy]

Dont you know that it doesn't matter how fast your car is? As long as his has a front mount and a vta blowoff valve, you are the ****...

[SandM]

yes.... theres a guy running around gwinnett in a DA with a FMIC with no piping hooked up.... does he count?

[Bruce Leroy]

yes.... theres a guy running around gwinnett in a DA with a FMIC with no piping hooked up.... does he count?

Hell yeah It counts!!! :crazy:

When i stayed in orlando, seeing cars around with a fmic but no turbo was actually pretty common.

[Got Milk?]

how do **** do u lose hp if u add a FMIC? I will be new to turbo thing, so i will need alot of lessons on how to do the build the right way. And if i put a large tubo, wont i need a FMIC to support it. Well again, NEW to turbo stuff.

And about the guy with the DA, i know him. He was supposed to be putting a ebay turbo on, but than changed his mind.

Top mounts you'll have better throttle response but heat soak can be an issue, FMIC (or any IC for that matter) buy a quality one and you'll have no troubles. You cannot be cheap with a turbo car and expect it to

A.) last
B.) give you the hp gains you're looking for
C.) be reliable

on a stockish setup the topmount makes more power with the shorter travel for piping (?). you dont need the frontmount until you get quite a few more upgrades and you need something to get things much cooler. i remember this because i was looking at WRX's before I got my teggy

[SouthSide Tay]

wrx is over rated....hell i would pick a FD RX7 over that any day of the week and bust your ass with less mods

[southside]

Put it down on a EVO

[Got Milk?]

wrx is over rated....hell i would pick a FD RX7 over that any day of the week and bust your ass with less mods

mm i think everyone on importatlanta would take a FD rx-7 over a WRX. DHAAA. lets see, rx7 are rare, wrx arent. rx7 cost way more than an WRX.



Well back to the topic. im planning on buying all good quality parts ofcourse. I wanna start off with a bigger tubo and a FMIC, DP UP, NOOZZZZ kidding.

Anyone have a fan site or a forum site for WRX. I need to learn more about WRX before i decide to do anything.

[JDM TYTE YO]

but Rx7's don't last.. waste of money if u wanna drive it often.. they blow like ever 30k

[OTG Signs]

wrx is over rated....hell i would pick a FD RX7 over that any day of the week and bust your ass with less mods

And then spend 3x as much to replace the engine every 50k miles.

[Got Milk?]

lol, i have a buddy he is on here and he owns a fd. he said he loves the car, but he hates that he has to fix something every other day.

[Farrow2005]

K24/k20 swap the teggy

[99hatch]

Get a VW GTI or a audi.

[Got Milk?]

there are 2 for sale k20 swaped civics. But i really want the WRX.

[twinj]

Dodge Caravan with a 'soccer mom" magnet. Well atleast dodge will give you gas money.

[Sammich]

boost a gsr period

[twinj]

Seriously, get something different. Hint Hint new.....Maybe an Evo(New chassis) or something and slam it. Just ride it like that for a while. You don't see to many of those riding around.

Maybe a E90 335 BMW(twin turbo).

You can only look at the same **** for so long.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

LOL....how about you buy a stock Civic or Integra and just ride that out for the time meaning? With the way economy is going I wouldn't real want to blow all that 12k into a car. Im sure you can find something for 3k-5k around the Atlanta area. Put the rest in a savings and lets the money grow man. In a year you'd be surprised how much you'll have thanks to the interest.

IMO, that's what I would do but good luck with whatever you do.

[twinj]

^^Really is the most intelligent answer.

Then again no one knows what the OP finance's and what he can afford.

[teg_seven]

teggy

[Got Milk?]

[terrytowe22]

[xdavidscenex]

buy a cheap dd...and save the money for something else.

[patrick4588]

whats with all the ppl on an enthusiast forum talking about just getting a cheap daily and dont mod the car? what fun would that be? whatever you do buy, keep at least 2-3k for mod upgrades. i personally would get a turbo honda, but do what you like? if you get a wrx, be ready to swap some trannies!! oh and be ready to get walked by pretty much every fwd turbo honda from a roll.
