vs. RSX

there ya go. 4th. :P told ya their gears are fsckin long as hell..

They are not that long. 4th gear only goes to about 113-114, at redline.

Where did you get that video of the rsx? That looks like my car. I can post the video to prove it.

Hondata right? So u can safely push to 8600... Cuz that's just hella abusive if ur not... 125MPH, thats right, 217KPH right? damn that car's fast...

8600rpm is fine with stock internals. There are tons of people with the Hondata k20a (type r) "flash" that revs to 8800rpm, and they have stock valve springs.:cool:

P.S. 120 is nothing for this car.
 
That may be a nice car, and the Acura products are tops but my dog could eat your dog in one bite!
 
Hi, that is apexitypes's car in that video. I've seen it a million times, including on apexitypes's own personal camera after he recorded it.

theres a really good rsx-s vs rsx-s video in apexitypes's sig. thats me vs. him. ;)
 
What's the top speed on the TypeS? You can't be serious that you can take it all the way up to 8600 stock... cuz that's insane! 600rpm is quite a bit over the redline... Isn't there some sort of rev limiter? Seriously, isn't a redline there for a reason? But ignoring that for a second, does it help to take it up that high? 8600 - 8800, will it drop you right into your powerband when upshifting? BTW, i heard that the reverse gear on the S is bot. left... I've never driven manual, how does the car keep you from accidentally shifting into R when doin 1-2 shift?
 
I got my car up to 156mph, then it bounced off the rev limiter in 5th gear. 6th gear doesnt make enough power to move with that much wind resistance. yes it is absolutely safe to rev to 8600. a couple weeks ago I was downshifting race someone from a 2nd gear roll, i wasnt paying attention to my mph, 2nd gear redlines at 8600 around 65mph, i was doing like 70mph. I drop it in 2nd, and I see the rev's fly past 9k on the tach, I pop the clutch in as fast as possible. look at my v-afc2, and it read that I revved to 9081 rpms before I pulled it out of the gear, our internals let go between 9100-9200 rpms. I was pretty damn close. **knock on wood**

Top speed is drag limited to about 145, stock.

Yes, I am very serious you can take it to 8600rpm with stock interals. I have been doing so for almost a year now. Stock rev limiter is at 8100rpm, Hondata raises it 500rpm, and they lower the vtec from 5800rpm to 5200rpm. Hondata does much more the lower the vtec and raise the rev limiter though. You can learn a lot by checking out hondata's website. Hondata K20A2

The stock intake manifold doesn't do to well above 8000rpm, but with Hondata's tuning, the hp drops very very little after 8000rpm. Peak power comes around 7900rpm, then it just stay flat. So, yes, shifting at 8600rpm helps, a lot. The tq curve is also much better then stock. 90% peak tq comes as low as 2500rpm, and stays flat until about 8000rpm, where it starts to drop.

Finally, reverse is to the right and down. I dont know who told you it was up and left, you might be thinking about the celica gt-s?:confused:
 
celica's dont have reverse up to the right, vw's have the reverse down then up and to the left. push the shifter down towards the floor, then up to the left.
 
hehe, bout the shifting, my fault for being uninformed... But damn... I didn't know the K20A2's could be pushed that hard... The S seems like a much better deal than the MSP's... but I would definetely take a MSP over a stocker RSX. dc 5RSX, where were you able to find roadway to hit 260kph? That's insane... Most I ever hit was a little over 200kph goin downhill. Wish I could afford a car like that right now, but I'm only in High School, and I still got 5 yrs post secondary to look foward too before I can start raking in the $$$. I wonder if they'll still be making RSX's and MSP's 6 or so years from now... It'll be interesting to see what kinda cars will hit the market in that time...

Man Your car is Fast, Compared the simular 1/4mile times between you and ApexiTypeS. You pull 3cars from a Start and about 2car's from a roll on him. NIce...Me Like's:p
 
a stock integ gsr should be same if not slightly faster than a stock msp. and for the same price of an rsx-s, wouldnt u get a wrx??? although the acuras are well-built, hence the high resale vaule, i think a wrx would be a better buy. jus my opinion though.

whoever told you that, Should be bi**h Slapped(spank) LOL. No the Integ is a tad slower in the 0-60 and 1/4mile by .3-.5 slower than an MSP. But once it get's into the triple digit speed's, then they might be a driver's race.;)

At the time of his 1/4 mile time, his mods were the same as mine. Our cars WERE dead even, the only reason he ran faster is because he had about 100lbs of removed wieght over me.

In the videos in my sig, the only mod he has over me is the comptech race header. He hasn't got any new 1/4 mile times yet since the header, but his car is difiantly good for 13's.....Once it gets a little cooler here in south florida, we should both be running 13's.:p
