Default How to SPEND $ 9-10k on my car?

I want the setup to be NA:

I have thought about HyTech but I am looking about $ 13k - 14k with HyTech Setup...so what would you suggest other way?

You can see my current mod install on my signature!

Definately TODA Package...what else would you suggest?
(I posted thread on CLUBRSX - just wondering how other Honda Owners would suggest )

Mods are generally car specific and depend on what you want out of it. The RSX forums are a much better place to post.

How to SPEND $ 9-10k on my car?
Honestly if you want to spend that much on your car at one time, I'd upgrade your car.

Think about this:
Used BMW E36 M3 + supercharger
Used Audi S4 with APR stage 3 (400 hp)


I don't know, just my .02 cents.

It's your car, and I will admit that it is very badass. Especially with those brides.

This is an S2000 forum, dimwit. Not an RSX forum. How the hell would you get advice here?

He won't with people like you around.


DC% maybe a 2.4 block for some torque, otherwist hytech is the way to go if you stay N/A or contact King Motorsports and see what they will do, definitly top notch work from people who race RSX's

Fair enough. All I know is I wouldnt go to clubrsx.com and ask what kind of exhaust to get for my car. I would feel a little silly. I guess I came off being a little harsh. My apologies.

I would take the 9k and invest it. Putting it into a car is a waste of money. You would be basically throwing 9k away.

Cheap mods can be acceptable. ECU, headers, CAI... maybe cams, what more would you want to do with a RSX anyways? If you want the most speed for your $10k, go buy a sportbike.

When I bought RSX - i thought S2K would be out of my reach but so far i have spend almost close to 20k on my car (parts+installation labor)

Since I have spend lotta $$, I don't want to sell my car

I think I will go Toda Cams/Valve Springs/ECU Flash - 2.4 block - LSD (Quafile? or JDM ) - good clutch (Exedy?) - Spoon Raidator...some other upgrades
