hey guys i currently have an 05 rsx-s and have been thinking of changing to an s2k, what im wondering, is that if i were to get a full bolt on rsx, (i/rh/e/reflash/rbc) or a full bolt on s2k, (i/rh/e/reflash? do they make one) then which would come out on top whp wise, thanks n00b probably ik

IMO, S2 would be the whp winner, but probably come down to a drivers race from a dig...roll, you can pretty much forget about it. (rsx will most likely win a roll)

why you buying the car for straight line performance anyways? take it to the track and see it come alive. looking for a fast straight line car, get a GTO.

^ agreed, this car is a fucking go-kart! in terms of driving experience, this tops the rsx. the cars real easy to throw around, and takes skill to drive. get a stock s2k and mod it yourself

s2k '06+ w/reflash/i/h/e-single/tp will kill a rsx from a dig. from a roll an '05 rsx with kpro/i/rh/e/rbc will be close but will lose to a '06+ s2k. rsx will do better vs the earlier models. i'm not sure you will get much out of the rbc w/ just a reflash, youre going to need the kpro to tune for the rbc.

well ap2 with few bolt ons>>>>full bolt on rsx/tuned. I've had both and the s2k is def faster than my 220whp tuned type s. plus its WAY more fun to drive and no roof ftmfw. i loved my rsx, but you cant compare the two cars by any means. :weeeeeeeeee: the only thing the rsx was better at was carrying more than two people and a set of golf clubs :p

and? a bolt-on rsx is slow and a bolt-on s2k is slightly faster(yet still slow)

i wasn't saying my car is fast. it won't even be fast when it's supercharged in a few months, but the dude a few posts up was talkin like he's some badass and talking shit about a car that would put bus lenghts on his bolt-on s2k. i love s2k's and i will probably be buying one in the near future, but i'm not going to be some fanboy who thinks the car is something more than it is. just like the rsx owners around here a lot of you s2k guys seem to think that your car is god's gift. you can like your car and respect others at the same time. that's what i do. just because i like my car doesn't mean i'm biased and ignorant of the truth. bolt-on s2k's are slow in a straight line. don't get butthurt by the truth. it wasn't designed for straightline performance. it's still a great car and will outhandle many cars that have much more power. i didn't say it was a bad car and i didn't say my car was fast. i said s2k's are slow in a str8 line. next time you don't have to get defensive when someone calls an s2k slow...it is. i don't get upset when people call bolt-on rsx's slow...they are

re-read dude - this is completly true and would take children to turn this statement is such bs. i kown you guys love your rsx but the s2k is not slower than a rsx just because a moded '05+ rsx that putting down 215whp takes a stock/early model ap1 that putting down 195-200whp does not make the rsx faster.

from a dig the '06+ s2k's lsd will kill a rsx. from a roll the '05+ rsx w/kpro/i/rh/e/rbc will be close but lose. keep in mind we talking late models of both cars. the later ap2's will run high 13's and the rsx high 14's. with basic bolt-on & hondata the s2k will pull low-mid 13's, rsx with basic bolt-ons will run low 14's to high 13's. the rsx's peg leg is the issue from a dig, but from a roll it will hange ok.
don't think you even want to discuss s2k vs. rsx in the twisties? so i won't go there..

dude why do you keep bringing up the rsx vs. s2k? did you even read what i read?? i already acknowledged that you were right about the s2k vs. rsx. just because i own a rsx doesn't mean i ignore the facts and think that it's faster than an s2k. i was agreeing with you that the s2k is faster. but you were shooting off at the mouth thinking that he has a stock base wrx. his car is not stock and is faster than an 06 sti. he runs 11's if i remember correctly

dude i don't hate the s2k. i love the s2k. i have driven 2 ap1s and 1 ap2. i will buy it b/c i like it. i don't support people's arguments when they are wrong just b/c i like their car. that's retarded. just because i like s2k's doesn't mean i should go along with whatever s2k owners say. you didn't say stock wrx's were slow. you said you would hand him his ass in his cheap slow wrx. but you wouldn't he would walk the shit out of you. i'm not going to agree with you b/c you drive a s2k and i like them.

i have done plenty of research on s2k's wrx's evo's ...hell all performance oriented hondas and most other import cars. you aren't going to teach me shit i don't know you arrogant prick. that's why i'm in this section and s2ki and other forums... to learn about cars. not to soothe arrogant fanboys' egos. sure you have a nice car, but you're obviously an arrogant douchebag fanboy.

oh yea and he's not my buddy either. i usually end up in arguments with him cuz he can be a dick. but most of the time he just pisses people off b/c he tells them the truth and they don't want to hear it.

^^^ true. back to the TS's original post...i would get the s2k( i am going to soon, but i'm still going to keep my rsx). the s2k is way more fun to drive in my opinion. the s2k would win the whp game, but it would only be marginally faster in a str8 line if at all, but straight line performance isn't the reason to buy an s2k anyway. if you're looking for straight line performance buy something else or look into turbochargers or superchargers for the s2k.

When I had my EP3 w/A2 swap, I ran a stock S2K. I had a passenger with me and the S2K did not, S2K had top down. Did a 40 roll and took it to 120mph... I was dead even with them until about 110 and then I started to edge out the S2K. I would've preferred to not have a passenger with me and for the S to have the top up, but that was the result. Basically they're pretty well matched... just keep in mind that modding an S2K does not give NEARLY the gains that a k-series motor will. Honda tapped out the F20/F22C from the factory which is awesome, but also bad if you like to mod. I've got a J's Racing Intake, J's Racing Header, and T1R 70R-EM exhaust on mine and I'd be surprised if I got 10rwhp out of all 3 working together...that said, the car is much more responsive on the throttle. You will spend a lot of money trying to squeeze a few HP out of the motor N/A, but imo the car is a much better experience all around. I have a lot of experience with this too as I started with an EP3, A2 swapped it, sold the car for an '05 S2K, and just recently got an '02 RSX-S for my daily.

Also, mods on the EP3 for the S2K race were:
AEM CAI, Jackson Racing RH, Greddy EvoTT exhaust, kpro (power mods, won't list the rest of the car).

I have an AP1 with i/h/e and honestly, if I was stock again, I would have never even done bolt ons for the S. It's completely worthless. Bolt ons for an S won't gain much power at all, especially AP1s.

If I keep my AP1, I'll get it right and go inline pro.

this is what most people say, however.....when you take 4 or 5 bolt ons that give 5-10 horse each you'll def notice some difference. power is power, plus you have to remember with the s2k 5whp is actually more at the motor than a rsx that gains 5whp. s2k has a ot more drivetrain loss than fwd cars. now if your talking power/dollar bolt ons aren't that great for the s2k. back to the original poster. like i said before you can't compare the two cars in any aspect. they both have there ups and downs, but personally i have owned every honda and had pretty much every swap/chasis you can think of, and HANDS DOWN the s2000 is the best/most fun i have ever owned.

My reason, the RSX(porker) was not at the level of what I was coming from, a 5R Teggy and since I couldn't bring my Teggy to Guam and had to sell and was not going to buy a used car and wanted a S nisen even before I bought my Teggy. Had my kids to think about on the weekends at that time so the S nisen was not going to happen. So I picked up what I originally wanted to begin with. Though I will sorely miss my Teggy as it was an absolute blast to drive.

1. convertible top
2. rear wheel drive
3. double wishbone suspension
4. better handling from the factory
5. better feeling behind the wheel (steering, shifting, etc)
6. convertible top

There are tons of reasons... personal preference is probably the most prevalent. you may want to rephrase your question to "idk why ppl who are concerned with straight line speed would go from an rsx to an s2000"

I know one thing, I'll never get rid of my s2k and I definitely will never go back to a RSX. There is a reason why SCCA places the S2000 in A stock and the RSX-S in G stock.

it is all about how you use your car. What else is your car for then? If you like standing around shooting the shit, why not get a Geo and save some $$?

I could honestly care less about the reasons why you don't think a s2k is an upgrade from a RSX.. I can tell you several reasons why I think it is.

1. SCCA classes the S2000 in A stock, which is the 2nd highest stock class behind Super Stock which is where z06's are placed.... I personally like being classed with, and beating NSX's, RS4's, M coupes, E46 M3's, etc. SCCA places the RSX-S in G stock where it isn't really competitive nationally alongside A4's, 325's, Civic Si's, and Mini Cooper S's (who dominate)

2. NASA time trials classes the S2000 in TTC with 12 extra points where they class the RSX-S in straight TTD with no extra points. It's obvious that race organizers see what us S2k owners see.

I know you're not all about doing anything but staring at your car in a parking lot but to people who actually use their car to it's full potential, the difference between a s2k and a RSX-s is miles apart. Which is why I could care less about what you think is "hawt"

1. SCCA classes the S2000 in A stock, which is the 2nd highest stock class behind Super Stock which is where z06's are placed.... I personally like being classed with, and beating NSX's, RS4's, M coupes, E46 M3's, etc. SCCA places the RSX-S in G stock where it isn't really competitive nationally alongside A4's, 325's, Civic Si's, and Mini Cooper S's (who dominate)

2. NASA time trials classes the S2000 in TTC with 12 extra points where they class the RSX-S in straight TTD with no extra points. It's obvious that race organizers see what us S2k owners see.

I know you're not all about doing anything but staring at your car in a parking lot but to people who actually use their car to it's full potential, the difference between a s2k and a RSX-s is miles apart. Which is why I could care less about what you think is "hawt"

Well said. The S2k is a HUGE upgrade from a RSX (I had on 06 Type-S) for those of us that track and autocross our cars :thumbsup: The difference in handling is night and day; I drove Miata's for 5 years and knew the capabilities of S2k's as I autocrossed in the local S2k club's events. Now, I was impressed by my RSX at the track, but I cannot wait to see what the S2k is like.

1. convertible top
2. rear wheel drive
3. double wishbone suspension
4. better handling from the factory
5. better feeling behind the wheel (steering, shifting, etc)
6. convertible top

There are tons of reasons... personal preference is probably the most prevalent. you may want to rephrase your question to "idk why ppl who are concerned with straight line speed would go from an rsx to an s2000"

I know one thing, I'll never get rid of my s2k and I definitely will never go back to a RSX. There is a reason why SCCA places the S2000 in A stock and the RSX-S in G stock.

QFT i would never upgrade from an rsx to an s2000 if i was only concerned with straight-line performance....but that's not why you upgrade anyways. it's not b/c of the minimal bump in horsepower....it's rwd, has an amazing suspension, is a blast to drive, looks beautiful, sounds great for a four cylinder (In My Opinion), handles like a dream, and it's not too bad on gas either...what more could you really ask for?!? (besides a little more power)

I have yet to push my Snisen and I seriously hope that when I do it provides at least as much enjoyment as my R did. Soon I will be able to as my helmet is finally here with all of my household goods, damn that was a LOOOOONG time to get from Okinawa to Guam. So looking forward to getting this out at the auto-x, though I am going to miss gymkhana, but hopefully I can get the guys here that do auto-x to give gymkhana a try every now and then.

There's a lot more to a car than just straight line speed... go buy a vette if that's what you want. An evo also does all the work for you with it's computer assistance when it comes to handling. Yes it does handle fantastic, but there's a disconnected feel because it's not really YOU making it happen most of the time... especially at the limit. My friend has an evo for a dd and an s2k for fun. He loves both and even though the evo is faster and can handle well, he prefers the S2K any day over the evo. When he takes a corner hard and fast successfully in the S2K, it's reason to be happy because HE made it happen, the evo's computer assisted traction control had to do it for him in the evo... and that's not his fault, just the way the car is designed. The S2K has a raw sports car feel to it, there's no modern day technology to help you out, it's just you in the driver's seat.

You're also missing a big part of what the S2K is about... the driving experience. It puts a smile on your face, you feel connected to it (cheesy I know but it's true), you get to enjoy the top down, the fun of RWD, it's planted and can take nearly any turn at speed w/no troubles, etc. I know I'm not the fastest guy on the road in a straight line... hell, my EP3 w/A2 swap was faster than the S2K's I raced... but it just doesn't matter. What kind of skill do you show as a driver because you can do a 40 roll? Big deal, anyone can mash the gas and shift. Being able to run an autox, track, backroads, etc and be fast in that situation... that's golden.

no thanks. sedans don't do much for me.

if they offered sti couples i would be all over it. why doesn't some company start offering an AWD coupe powered by either a turbo 4cyl or a turbo inline 6 cyl at a more competitive price than a porsche??

quoted for truth. but he already said he prefers his car to look good in a parking lot rather than perform. buy IMO the s2k does that better than an evo :dontknow:

That was gay brah... sounds like you read that off a magazine.. Just cuz you're saying "the smile it gives you when you drive it" does not make it all that good. Ok I understand all the shit you guys are saying but the world doesn't revolve around autox. Just because you like to do autox and its in a good category does not make it the best. Its still a girls car and I would never bitch because an evo did the "steering" for me. All you guys are bragging about is the convertible and rwd... so what.

Not everyone goes to a dealership and say "hhmmm I wonder if this car is perfect on autox and I wonder if it will put a smile on my face when I drive". Any car can have good suspension you just have to pay for it.

you don't have to wonder, all you have to do is look at the S2k's domination in the SCCA nationals the past 8 years... The car is a great autox/tracking car.

my S2000 owns the shit out of my RSX.

and i owned 2 RSXs, so i should know.

this is the 2nd S2000 in my family and both have been amazing cars. i love how this car feels, handles, accelerates, and how EVERYONE looks at it, no matter what age/sex. EVERYBODY eye fucks the shit out of my car. gotta love that, lol.

Lol both cars are slow...and the rsx isnt even in the same class as the s2000. Almost a 10 thousand dollar difference between the two. The bottom line is that the s2000 is a great car compared to an Rsx but in its class the s2000 is at the bottom of the barrel.
