I've been owned by Hondata when I was at 6 PSI. With Hondata, I've heard of the Type S's getting with S2000's. Yesterday I was owned by a Type's that slowly crept on me when My J&S started to light up a little. Damn I need better tuning now! :sad:

Wow, I thought I had high insurance. I'm 16, clean record, $218/month. I'm listed as the primary driver, too. I feel bad for you guys paying like $300-$400/month, that's crazy.
As for an RSX, my friend has an RSX-S, so we'll find out soon enough. I'll post about it when we know.

The MSP is cheaper then the base RSX's. The Type S is far more expensive than the MSP. The premium i think would be the same $ as the MSP. The MSP is $27 K here, the Type S is $32 K (approx).
As for insurance, i think they would be similar.
My Insurance company lists my car as a MSP. I would watch it if they list it as an ES, you may oinly get the $ for an ES if your car is written off or stolen.
As for getting owned by the Altima or Maxima,the last generation Max SE was 260 HP, available with a 6 spd. The Altima V6 is 240 HP, with a 5 spd available. Fast MOFO's no doubt.

Maybe it has to do with the insurance carrier your with but my insurance lists to different Protege's, one being the standard and one is the MSP.

Yeah the Hondata'd RSXs are no joke... My friend had a supercharged lude with about 240 whp and another guy I know had a Type S w/ an intake, exhaust, and a hondata and that thing kept up pretty well with the Lude on the highway. (only a few car lengths behind.

My friends girlfriend has the older type s with an intake and exhaust. We did 2 runs and the first one i got a good start and pulled away. The second one was dead even most of the way through. It sounded like the type revs a bit higher, but we may have more low end on them. I am bone stock.

The older Type S? I think they're still the same.
I choose the msp over the rsx type s cause of a couple different reasons, the msp just seemed more stylish to me, looked more like it was ready for modding. Also came with an aftermarket head unit which was good for me. 4 door is awsome, it has a turbo, and the first time I drove the msp I was extremely shocked on how well it handled. Glad I did too, about a month ago I beat an rsx with a catback and perhaps an intake he didnt mention one (pulling away while he was talking.) I'm bone stock (and that was before I got the flash), had him off the line all the way up to 3rd then he got up to the start of my back door and never went past me, was going over 100 and thats when he started to come up but he never passed me.

LOL, that's intense... The MSPs are definetely unique. There are so many people with RSX's, but you rarely see a MSP driving about. Performance wise, they seem to be on par, or ahead of the RSX. I was told that there's not too much of a performance difference between a stock RSX and an S, but then again, we're all a little biased towards Mazda. But then again, Mazda Rules! Seeing as how I won't be into the job market for another 4-5 (Post secondary education... Last year of HS for me right not) years from now, I guess it wouldn't be very practical to dream about getting an MSP... I guess I'll just have to enjoy my ES for now. I really wonder what the car market will be like in 5 years...
The Type-S RSX is a beast and will own a Base RSX. I think the S is a good 2 seconds faster in the 1/4 and thats with a full leather interior and a better sound system. Most S's will put around 200hp to the ground with a Hondata ecu flash, intake, and exhaust. The ECU flash is no joke and bumps the power up throughout the powerband and raises the rev limiter to 8600 RPMs, Hondata really did their homework on the new K-Series engine. Cams alone will get you around 25hp on the engine. And you dont need to mess around with cam gears eather, just get the ECU program. This is because of the i-VTEC system that also adjusts timing automaticly. I personaly would take a MSP, but if I was older and just out of collage I would jump all over the RSX-S because its a very refined car.

A 02 RSX-S with AEM (CAI), and Greddy catback got owned, by my brother-in-law's 02 SE-R 5-speed with AEM (CAI), and Stillen Exhaust, lowered 2"s with (Sprint Springs) from 0-90mph by half a car lengh. I've posted this in the (other sport compact's) thread. BTW i had a massive dream about the RSX-S last week, When i drove it the Motha F***a felt like it was a 10-second beast. The I-Vtec would kick in at 5500rpms and it screamed past redline like in 1-second. LOL

well i still have my acura integra gsr, the b series engines rev up fast as hell and its still a blast to drive( a real drivers car) and it is def a little faster stock for stock as my msp, 6.9 -7 sec 0-0 on both but there is this bridge that all my friends race from the light to the over pass ive hit about 80 n my msp on a perfect run and 90 iin my gsr all the time. so i know the type s is about the same and my gsr handles excellent but the feeling isnt there. my mom also has an rsx and i think that my gsr feels hella better. so its really up to whatever car u like better cept the msp feels more finished and solid as opposed to the hondas, then again ive had 2 hondas then my msp so im partial to both all awsome cars!
