rsx type S

enry · 08-31-2001, 08:08 PM

Word is the type s comes with small mags and a really inferior sound system compared to the mp3. Is this true?
How will RSX Type S owners deal with such a thing? I guess the 6 spee 200hp makes up for it a bit.

Well, MP3 will not stand a chance to race a RSX TypeS. But with only $24000CAD, don't expect too much.

Anyway, the RSX looks ugly in my opinion.

who cares,the money you saved getting the MP3 over the RSX you can fix up the MP3 to blow it away. plus its just another acura. i heard they are not really that fast though. but thats from my ricer friends.

OceanPark · 09-01-2001, 10:18 AM

My friend said the RSX is pretty fast, and so do the previous interga. Plus they have a value timing system(Vtec) and we don't. But I do agree that with the money we have saved on the MP3, we could get few more extra HP. Plus we are limited, unlike the Honda.... ricer all over the place.

at the local dealer, 4 people have already returned their type s'es due to engine blowout. looks like i-vtec is still a work in progress. like anything though, if you drive it like a bitch, it'll be more likely to fail.

**freekwonder** · 09-01-2001, 11:57 PM

i think im going to go to an Acura dealership tomorrow and test drive one.

I have seen a VCD from Japan, which compare the new TypeR with the previous version. I have to say that the new one look much better in style. They also cliam that it is better in performance

Hey guys wuzzup well anyways a Integra type R aint that fast and a rsx aint that fast i, don't know about the type s but i raced one rsx 160hp 140trq down here in fresno California. I saw a guy pull up next to me and it was a one4one crew member down here thats there crew name. But he asked me if i wanted to race so i said whatever we both took off when it hit green and i dropped the clutch and 1800 rpm's and just launched w'o pilling out and redlined 1st we were about even and shifted to 2nd and i pulled him at about 55mph in 2nd still and just stopped at the intersection. Then his buddy asked me what i had in it and i told him it was bone stock except for the racing beat oem filter and the racing beat exhaust, he had the nerve to asked me if i wanted to race his integra type R for 300$ i said H*** yahh the good thing was he had to go home and get it and wanted me meet him at mooney's at jack in the box in 40min. That saved my but cause i wasn't gonna race him in my mp3 i drove home to my town hanford it's only 18min. away from fresno driving 90++mph and i got my souped up 1994 Mazda Protege lx came back h**** fast driving 125mph 5min. later i heard a wossy exhasut coming up and he asked what the heck is this i told him give your 300$ to your buddy and i gave his buddy mine 300bones. we drove a few stoplighs down just past a park where there is a open road and his buddy was signaling us to rev our engines to be ready a few sec later we both took off and i relined 1st 7000rpms at 40mph 2nd 7000rpms 65mph and third didn't have to as i shifted into 3rd after 65mph in 2nd i turned my head i was 4 car lenghs ahead of him. lol it was so embarrasing that i let him pass me back bumper to my front bumper then we were doing 90mph and just smoked him till i got to 120mph. If your wondering what my 94 lx has hyper cai intake,sparklugs,ignitionwires,exhaust,header,etc. ....

Sounds like a whole lot of hot air to me !

OceanPark · 10-01-2001, 05:31 PM

I doubt if a MP3 would really win the RSX base model. It is a auto? or the driver sux?

The RSX isn't really that fast, but I also admit that the MP3 is slow....

10-02-2001, 01:09 PM

My Mp3 had 1875 miles when i took it up to 118mph that's cause it wasn't broken in yet. maybe tha rsx base wasn't broken in, i really didn't beat him that much like i did to his buddy in my other proteg against the type r but i beat that rsx by his front tires to my front door. but when i raced him, i had 3,123miles on it as when i raced him. maybe you think your mp3 is slow cause either you shift at 3500-5500prms or your car isn't broken in, no matter what kind of car you have it has to have over 3000miles to fell the difference in power cause if not then the car hasn't been broken in yet.

OceanPark · 10-02-2001, 02:30 PM

mine has 3300km so far...

My brother as a Sentra SE (145hp), and we did played few times. 3/4 my mp3 lose ... we switched the car, so it is not the matter of driver....
