I own a kswapped eg hatch...its the best swap ever.

Its worth it...every penny.

If you need any help let me know.

People who have rsx's will always say something but I can almost guarentee that:

1.) They can't change their own oil
2.) Have there parents pay their car note and insurance.
3.) Don't know dick squat about weight to horsepower ratio's
And lastly fail at life...

Rsx's are nice but people who actually build motors and do their own labor will be up for the swap.

Go k series u will have a blast!

Lmao. Thats a broad assumption. I own an Rsx. I know its not as fast as an Eg/DC k swapped, but the car handles excellent, and its just nice to have a newer car than an eg(with some resale value). Ive had 2 eg hatches and get bored in them very easily, plain interiors suck. Btw I cant change my own oil either.

... come on people where's the love? Fact is K swaped EF, EG, EK is of coarse faster than RSX. But the RSX still looks great when done right and the handling is awsome. But i have driven 4 different type S RSX's .... and i hate the car (just my opinion,to each his own) i love the engine/transmission though . so everyone is right because its all personal preference. EF-K swap FTW!

I know who u are..I know u can change your own oil...don't take offense...I was just saying that a lot of people who own them will always have something to say to back up there rsx.

There is no fun in buying some1 elses put together car..that's all im saying...

I don't like buying a car unless I know I built it....

Now staying on topic...I would do the swap hands down. There is too many resources...so if u have the money I would go for it. Its a 12 second car tuned with your normal bolt ons...can't ask for more than that.

IDK who this could apply to, but I have made a mess of my driving record and the full coverage on RSX typeS would be horrid. So the closest thing I can come to would be to swap the k series in my car

Benefits
Lower insurance (by ALOT)
lower weight
Shock and awe when you pop the hood haha jk

Con
Older car
Cost alot (not as much as the RSX thou)
I love the RSX dash so I dont got that (CAN BE Swapped too )

But it really is a personal preference, I would love the new car, but I love not having a car payment too
