'balt versus Civic's gone wild
Nah, I respect both the guys below, great guys and cars.First one was a silver EK coupe, stock motor (D16 IIRC?), has the Edelbrock turbo kit. Unsure on more specs/upgrades. Did a few runs, by the time he spooled I'd put 1.5 cars on him. We never got enough room to give him a fair chance. Ran me twice. Second time he came back quick but to no advantage and lack of space. I talked to him @ the local meet days later, electronic boost controller, bumped up from 10 to 20psi on the second run
. Very nice.Last one I randomly ran across, beautiful modded red EK coupe, cleanly done, we did two 40 rolls in which he stayed right at my rear bumper. Awesome part? He was all-motor
. Met him at the same meet, K20 swap. That little **** moved, I've played with a highly NA modded Type-S before and he battled nicely. I imagine with some tuning and more mods the K20 could take me. That or BOOST

good runs. i was wondering can you ever get rsx guys to run you? i know you said you ran a highly modded one but i was curious, because i have come across 4-5 that were modded and wouldnt even look at me or if they atleast looked over they dont even consider running me. i mean ive raced more old guys in mustangs than young guys in civics and rsx's.

Yeah, figured K20 in the coupe would be quicker. Sounds like it's got some more time to be put into it though.
I've ran a pretty modded RSX Type-S and he kept right with me, I won't say I beat him as his car was on par with mine. I barely edged him. He ran from a dig though and I didn't, thought he was king after that. I hate digs. Also ran a stock Type-S, honestly was saddened with it. Some mods must wake those right up.
Yeah, guessing it's nice sized turbo!

my buddy has a 02 rsx type s and when i was stock i took him off the line and for the win

im assuming your the SS/TC by your username. I didnt notice that at first. I thought you were just a regular non-FI SS judging by your sig picture. In that case you should have a RSX-S covered. easily.
