Well, for starters, in order to do any serious tunning on that car, you need to remove the i-vtec, or atleast, assuming you plan on using Toda cams, who is currently the only big name making cams for that car. Not to mention the retainers are pressed onto the valves, so they're unussualy likely to break at higher rpms.

One upside, or actually a couple, first, the motor is facing the right direction, and the intake is in the front, so it stays cooler, it also has a six speed, even though the six speed is really watered down, and it also has auto a/c, not that mine ever goes off max in south FL, but it's still pretty kool any way.

Other down sides, it's a watered down version of the GS-R, it handles only so-so, and although stock may be pretty quick, doesn't feel very fast. It's very bulky and heavy.

The integra is more of a driver's car, it's a race car in street trip. The RSX-S really feels like a grocery getter, pretty much no matter what you do....

Later,
Aj
