FD vs RSX do i need to worry at all i dont think so
Hey everyone i bought a 93 rx7 like 6 months ago and the engine was bad so i never really got a chance to test it out. Currently a shop is rebuilding my motor and streetporting it and putting 3 mm apex seals in it and i also bought an apexi intake system, hks downpipe greddy type s blow off valve an hks TI catback exhaust and an act Strip street clutch im hoping for around 300 RWHP. But anyway my friend is a real honda jerkoff and he says that his 2006 rsx Type S will beat me he has an intake and a header thats all what do you guys think. I personally think hes crazy.

You should win...after you properly break your motor in. I wouldn't advise racing him right after you get your car back. I would be concerned about monitoring your boost since you are installing a downpipe and exhaust as well. Some form of engine management and boost gauge would do you good.

Is this a serious question? Completely stock your car would destroy an RSX in every imaginable way. If you want to make it close, launch in second gear so he doesn't feel so bad afterwards. (I'm not hating, my other car is a CRX that is modded.) Just look at the stats for both cars, this is going to be a no contest.

Maybe Im being biased because I own an si but I also own a t70 vert, and I been with rotary's since before I could even drive...
Right now with his mods he should be around 260 RWHP at 10 psi. Now add a MP, IC, PFC, fuel pump, bigger injectors, fuel rail, +15 psi. Then he can be anywhere between 330-350 RWHP...single turbo... 20B swap....
But why are we having this conversation? Everyone knows that money = results. ****, I'm sure that if you have enough cash, you can get a shopping cart to run 10's lol

Just a few weeks ago I was heading to my GF's and some dude in a black RSX - S revs at me and enticed a race... Whether he actually thought he had a chance I don't know, needless to say he got smacked at low boost (10 psi). I never came in and told the story as it was nothing to be excited about.
