This is why I got the Civic coupe EX....lol
I got rid of my 03' RSX Type-S since I just loved going through the gears. I was driving from Rhode Island to Texas in between transferring to Hawaii (Navy) and had the trunk/back seat loaded and hit 143 in 5th gear! Then up to 151 before getting Major Tunnel vision!!! Besides, it was like 130am, dark as hell and just as cold.
That was only with intake/exhaust and hyperground kit. I tuned the sheite out of it and ate up Mustangs and WRX's at the track in Hawaii. So I learned my lesson.....build a tranny before making mad power and hitting too many 13 second passes at the track....or get a Civic Coupe and rest for a bit till you find a new fun (non-over powered FWD) rocket to play with...lol
If you want to get crazy, get an RSX Type-S, build the tranny/pistons and turbo/supercharge it... IF I can hit 150 plus and still have 1500 or so rpms (to 8600)-or about 9k with cams......you will tap than speedo....
