i haven't been on here in awhile since my teg was stolen. but now i'm looking to get another one in a couple of months but i can't decide what i want to go with. i'm either going to get a teg shell (jdm gsr motor) or a rsx type s. if i go with the shell project i'll not have a car for a little while but that's fine. the rsx, well it just looks clean, and i like the way they look. sorry if the post was kind of long, but thanks for all feedback

dude, this is kind of a weird question. Go with whatever you will be happier with. The only thing the rsx has that the teg won't, will be the k motor. That's it. How long would it take you to get the shell and the jdm gsr swap? Have you ever done a swap yourself or anything? If not, I'd probably go that route, so you can improve on your mechanical knowledge...if you like that sort of thing though...

rsx s has my vote

xXorochimaruXx · 07-23-2007, 12:08 AM

well with the rsx it was kinda like it's newer and all that. the shell build will take as long as it'll take for me to get the motor here. i know with how much i could get an rsx type s for i could build a faster teg. but i like the way both cars look and feel. that's why i'm undecided.

you might be happier with the shell build. that's just what I think though. I like the rsx, but to me it isn't all it's cracked up to be. And I'd rather build a 2g teg...

i hear you, but he would be starting with a k motor.. it has alot of potential, and responds well to mods,

but you are correct on the other hand where it might be more enjoyable to go with the teg build. i guess it really comes down to that.

I personally think that the only GOOD thing about the rsx is the fact that it has a motor with newer and better technology...and the fact that it's NEWER overall...but I just don't know. I guess I'm looking at it from a financial standpoint. As well as taste. I think they look like girl cars too much...mainly bc all I ever see are girls driving them. But I know they aren't bad cars. I was, however...disappointed with the 05 rsx-s I test drove.

This coming from a man who drives a Del Sol...

A shell buildup is a fun job for sure! and you can do lots of things to the engine during the buildup to make it strong/fast.

A rsx-s is fun to work with and yeah the K does respond well to mods.
I have an 02 with I/H/E and dyno'd 195whp/wtq this weekend and just ran the track 14.29@98mph. Its all on what you got time for and what you want to do man.

Good luck.

Fortunately for me, I've never seen a chick drive a sol. Your comment still isn't going to change my mindset on the rsx.

I don't get it...

maybe I didn't word that correctly, but either way...all I ever see are GIRLS driving rsx's and guys driving del sols...get over it. I don't live where you do, things are different from state to state. Or did you think things were the same EVERYWHERE? Kind of RETARDED of you to think such a thing if that's the case.
