stick with your RSX, too many people have EG's. but you could always buy the EG and build it into a full race car

Ya, a lot of people already have EG's with swaps. Unless you plan to make a track car, it's really hard to make an original project car out of it this day and age.

I would suggest saving up and building a K-series by piecing and matching parts from the different varients.

why? about half of the power difference between the type-s and base k20 comes from a reworked bottom end.
