Hello everyone!
I have a RSX type-S right now and i have to sell it its not working out financially for me. So i'm going to get a 2000 civic sir. I'm wondering with the sir being lighterand adding intake header exhaust, would the sir be close to the type-s??? do 2000 sir's come with imobalizers??? and does everyone like their sir? They look so nice

 

no it cant keep up...only way u can keep up with the type s is if u swap the sir with a type s engine..haha..lol

 

Of course it can keep up!



























...in traffic...

I've never seen a race between the two though. It might be able to keep up depending on where you're racing and who's driving, who knows

 

I'm just wondering how much slower it will be?

 

Check out some quater mile times i'm sure a couple of stock RSX-s have ran on a track before. . . .look it up on the net......
compare the 2. . .
i'd assist.......but i'm lazy.....hahaha but give it a shot...see what u find on the net....

 

i'm not sure what the SiR would run but my friend ran a stock rsx type 2 (except intake) and he is a good driver.. a 16 flat

 

I know the 1/4 mile for the stock type-s is 14.8 ish and the sir is around 15.8 but i don't know how well the b16a responds to mods. Does it respond well??

 

that was a base/ premium rsx right??

 

that was the type S

 

Wow thats bad, 16 for a type-s is too high, it should be low 15's

 

ha .. no it wouldn't hit that time.. 16 is good.. its listed as a 16.1 in a magazine.. but my buddy hit 16... so ye..

 

weird, i thouht it was for fure lower, so that means a stock type-s is beat or tied with an sir??

 

i'm not sure of the time of the sir... prob around the same.. did u say coupe or hatch?

 

sir coup

 

apperently the sir will do 15.7 it should be faster

 

wow

 

no it will not

RSX-S should beat it hands down, with the same driver.

Heres some stats

Si = Sir cdn

Plus the RSX reponds MUCH better to mods

20hp just from an intake is crazy, and do an ecu reflash and you talking

 

RSX-S doing 16 flat is not good!!! hahaha... i ran 15.9x with a civic dx ('98)... stock...

 

The RSX Type S has 40 more horsepower and 30 more lbs of torque then the SIR and it only weighs about 100lbs more. I think it would be alot faster then an SIR. Take an SIR for a test drive and compar them yourself. I recently drove a Premium RSX and it was WAY faster then my SI.

 

If you wanna be able to beat a type s instead of a sir buy a dx and do a gsr swap, it will cost you less and you will save on insurance...
