My Stanced Dc5....gone
Ive got big plans for this car. But first things first, im prob gonna swap to the K20 in the type R and do a 6speed conversion at the same time, because my first impression of this car is it was SLOW. as you can see by my username. Pics( Didn't have time for anything special so I just snapped a few) The Old Mazda:

Max's New RSX Build
Your 6 was pretty nice. I thought they were supposedly great cars like the 3's. Good luck with the Acura now

The deal on this was way too good to pass up, my friend needed it gone so I got it for a steal.

cool. Having it swapped from a base model should be cheaper on insurance too.

The amount of work and money to swap it and do a manual conversion would make it it really just a money pit. You should recognize the excellent deal you got and capitalize on it. You got a good deal because your friend needed to unload it quick. Well you DONT need to unload it quick, so if you sold it, you could sit on it until you got fair market value for it. If you could make a couple grand off it and turn around an just buy a type-s... why not do that? Thats the way I'd go.

I guess you're on your own insurance policy? 5k/year is insane. Full coverage on my car at age 17 through my parents policy was half that.
Oh and it would be worlds easier/cheaper to sell it and buy a Type-S. (or preferably an 06+ Civic SI since the RSX is open diff) |

I'm glad you came to your sences ad decided to get a fun new and yet daily driveable car. the 240SX i think was going to be a bad move for you. it looks clean. i'v always liked the RSX i hate honda's but the RSX is awsome. I was looking at a type S before i bought my eclipse.
Dont bother with the type S swap... its to time consuming and its not as easy to do as it is on older cars. if you really want one sell this thing and get the real deal. i'm assuming this ones an 06 or so they pull a nice amount, sell it and get an older type S. I would keep it though. they can be made to be fast.. I dunno if it has toptrinic but if it does thoes things are gangster. i got it in my eclipse and you can ask steve what he tough of it at the track Last edited by i_ride_fieroGT; 09-21-2010 at 09:13 PM. |

can you read?
Insurance is 10000million dollars now, it will be 100000billion dollars for the type s... And with the friends I have a honda motor swap is like changing a cars oil

Is it in your name or your parents name? Did you look into insurance quots? Your price for an 06 base model could be the same as a low miles 03 type S. it all goes by the year of the car. For instance my eclipse being an 06 is about $200 a month. if i would have gotten an 07 or 08 it would be about $300-$350 a month. |
