I would have gotten an RSX Type S in a 4-door if they made one, but alas, I had to settle for the coupe.Piston, that's a good looking ride. Have you had any problems with the LS/Vtec? Any dyno numbers on that motor? And btw, you might as well just make a new topic if the thread is more than a month old - especially if it's 3 years old!

1) I know where he lives.
2) I have driven his car, and trust me , shifting at 11,000rpms is amazing, but im not sure if he is making any power that high up. My guess is he has enough done to the engine that it would still be making power.
One of his customer bent all the valves and crack the camshaft on a mishift at high RPMS and he just rebuilt it for him for a dinner and a movie.
I know you guys dont think the LS/VTEC setup is very reliable, because if you do it wrong it would leak oil everywhere and stuff, but when I took a look at his engine, you cannot even tell it is a frankenstien motor, and it runs really smooth, except for the idle, its a little higher.
I have no time to speak more on this matter right now because I am going to work, but please give me some more information on the LS/VTEC setup. I just know its quicker and cheaper than a b18c1-c5 motor.

Do not stir shit up by posting inflammatory remarks.
The administrative staff at HAN will not tolerate such behavior.
I was going to leave this thread open, but I'm inches away from locking it.
