If I were you I would get the 06 Type S....U can boost with a low compression and it comes with a type r exhaust and type r manifold. This is coming from a person who had one. It's good on gas mileage and it drives smoothly. The only problem with the RSX is shifting to 3rd cuz occasionally it grinds.
you can buy a type s for 10k easy my friend just sold his for a wrx. i just dont like how they make no power they did a power pages on it in import tuner and it made only 210 whp with full header back, intake, cams and valvetrain, and hondata k-pro. for all that money u really dont get much
i dont remember seeing the cams on the power pages, for that particular power level, and if they did use cams they must have been ****ty ones. People have made 240-250 with IPS KME cams on those motors with tuning and bolt ons. Having 240 all motor hp is different than having 240 peak hp out of a turbo'd 4 cyl.

Thanks for the tip man.. 240hp all motor doesn't sound that bad for me.. just what i need.. a small kick once in a while.. and when i wanna play hard.. i just get the EVO..
That's my philosophy exactly, I call it my escalation of force:
1. DD either my 240 or the coming RSX
If that doesn't work:
2. Hop in the Evo and play
If THAT isn't enough:
3. Pull out the two-wheel terror
---------------------
I would definitely be more then satisfied with 210whp, I'm going to gut the RSX so it'll be more then quick enough for my day to day fix.
