Im going to the acura dealership in a day or two. im thinking about trading it in for a rsx non type s, i wanna see what they will give me for my si, but should i put back to stock, all i have is a cai and short throw? what do you guys think.

Back to stock for sure!!! No offence, but why would you trade the Si for a non type s?

put it back to stock

don't they have the same hp??

dj_fob · 08-27-2002, 11:03 PM

if i was to trade my car in i would probably want something with more power and imo the civic is alot nicer than the rsx

they always pull that shit that aftermarket parts don't add value and this and that. But if I was to walk into a dealer and had a car slightly modded, I would be happier than a stock one. I say throw it back to stock and sell your shit. BTW what type of SS do you have.....I will buy it!!!!!

Peace

finally!!!!! has the board been down or does my connection just suck! i havent been able to get on here for days. but i anyways i llike the rsx's and i would imagine there about the same power but with more tourqe, am i right? I think there alot sportier, I would buy buy the oem body kit b/c i think its sweet but i havent made any plans just yet.

dude, don't trade ur Si in for an RSX... for real

the b16 is more fun than the K20... same horsepower in a 1.6 as the 2.0 rsx? thats pretty sad.

have you seen the torque curve on the k20? someone posted a dyno a few days ago. IIRC, 150+ft/lbs of torque at about 2300rpm. This was with basic bolt-ons. I'd take the non type-s over the 6th gen SI, but I don't think that I would go through the trouble of trading in an SI for a Non Type S.

same horsepower, rsx has more torque, rex is new, rsx doesnt require premium gas. why would you pay more for a gas that your engine put out the same horsepower as the non premium engine? although b16 has more potential when it comes to bolt ons and performance upgrades especially turbocharger. but what about when you wanna stay stock?
stock to stock i'll go with rsx. gas is too much here in cali. fill smart!

i dont mind putting 91/92 in my si....

Vtecivic99 · 09-06-2002, 08:38 AM

I'm with you, Nocturnal. I love my Si like it's a part of me, and I take pleasure in giving it the best fuel I can find.

shiatbo · 10-03-2002, 10:31 AM

I think it depends on where you live and what the market is like on the Si's in your area.

that's not exactly true. the b16 has a larger aftermarket following, but that doesn't mean the b16 has more potential. just on size alone, the k20 has an advantage. besides, as time passes, more performance parts and upgrades will be made available for the k20.
