friend wants to race 03 rsx(Not TYPE S) auto vs. 97 gxe auto...I have a check engine light,but my car still pulls hard im stock so is he....ive done some research I just wanted to see what my people on the ORG had to say about this race he wants to race for 30$...I know those cars are 160hp ive read there auto trannies loss a ton of power through the tranny, and they have no torque...help me guys post comments!

 

We don't like street racing, take it to the track

How bout you check your CEL codes and see what's wrong w/ your car?

 

yea, somethign abuot a missed timed gear, i just had a new tranny put in my car but the tranny shifts perfect and nice. this is a race way Thompson Race Way..Im not risking anyones lifes not sufe and extremely stupid, i forgot to post that sorry

 

You expect us to help with that at the end of it?
If you do win, donate to Maxima.org... if you lose, then you deserve to lose to such a car ...

 

you know what i told you jamdmax! RSX no problem..

 

Not if his timing chain skipped a tooth.

 

I will donate to the ORG and the other part i dont know what to say i was just trying to get some humor out of the situation I didnt mean it to be offensive in anyway...you guys are like a family here to me and i appericate all the comments..

 

That car will be no problem, if it were an 6M-S then you might not have that much fun.

 

you'll win easy on stock rsx

 

Stock RSX blows hard. Even an Type S stock you should be ok with. For a modded Type S, you would need significant help.

 

Stock type S MT would run him into the ground .

LEMAR

 

True ... You need some mods if you're auto ... I can barely hang with a lightly modded one(S-6M) in my 4g 4A.. and my mods are pretty extensive.

 

You can barely hang? Even with that new timing chain...
Lord I apologize fer talking bout the timing chain while.....

 

maxima weights about 3100lbs rsx is about 2800 (im rounding up for both).whould be a close one

 

i have a 96 auto with a ypipe intake exhaust and pulley, still got whooped by a rsx type s from a dig... on the highway its a diff story

 

I raced a 02+ RSX, non type-s, with my 98 maxima. Im pretty sure the RSX was auto just from the outcome of the race but im not sure, my car is auto also. As far as mods all i have is a JWT intake. Unknown mods on the RSX, stock i assume. So here the story...
I pulled up on a red light next to a RSX with someone that I sorta slightly knew (a friends friend.) I had 4 people in my car at this time, he had 2. I exchange a what's up and then ask him to race. He agreed and we went on the green. It was.... a massacre lol i guess u can call it. I just pulled away and kept pulling. Later I slowed down to let him catch up and I asked wtf? I have 4 people in my car. He replies... "i have a system" ... Though I know he was joking it was still funny. But wow I had no idea RSX's were THAT slow!

 

RSX Type -S 6MT is very fast it will outrun a stock 4 Th gen auto and maybe even the 4 gen 5 speed since there 0-60's are exactly the same it would depend on the condition of the cars and drivers.

 

im personally scared of two doors with good drivers...

 

fact is Maxima should win in this PARTICULAR situation.. Auto GXE vs Auto Base RSX.

 

............

 

last i checked a stock type s driven by a good driver could beat us

 

Yep
For your Entertainment

Here's a moded 4thgen 5spd ypipe & CAI vs moded RSX type S
5spd 4thgen vs Rsx S 6spd

After he beat him I had to show him up in my Auto Hybrid
the video is not that good on my runs..
Auto3.5 vs Rsx S 6spd

 

i cant tell what happened in the 2nd video

 

nor could i

you have a 3.5L auto 4th gen?

 

Well the first vid was revel (5spd max) the rsx left him by a car length
Second vid is me in my auto hybrid can't see very well but the reaction speaks for itself. I raced him about 3 times I left him from a 20mph roll in 2nd I was gone by about 3 car lengths and more untill he stomps on his brakes.. When it was all over he was pissed and told me "I'll be back"

 

i raced a rsx type s and hung right with him when i was stock and he had some mods i put on some mods so i am looking for him now

 

Yep, my buddy used to have an 03 RSX type s, and he'd take me down after around 50....damn vtec. He just had an intake.... with me running na he'd eventually beat me, but not by a lot.

 

so much for no good torqueless honda motors right

That is all

 

Not if the RSX is red

 

uh oh the gestapo's here

 

How hard is it to follow a simple rule?
