nice cars man. dont worry dude, once you start putting some $$ into that altima, itll wipe up your RSX!

btw, is it auto or 6MT. im guessing its 6MT since you have a built RSX!

Where are you getting this info from 13sechatch, do you know the guy? I'm also surprised he got a CVT.

wow that was hilarious. Anyways i just figured i would post the mods on the rsx since he wasnt online.

I know he has in the works maybe getting the stillen front bumper and he is lowering it this week and prob going to order the nismo exhaust. He is wanting to keep the factory warranty on it so other than the simple intake and exhaust that maybe all he does. Im sure he will tell more once he gets back on.

lol what ever i do performance wise will be a little while. i want to work on looks and get it ready to handle some power and then the power will come last. just the way i like to do my cars.

and yes the RSX-S is a stroked 2.4l FULLY built motor with just about everything you could possibly do to one. NA that is. i have a good 12k+ into the motor alone. not to mention the new transmission, ECU, and all other bolt on goodies that have ever benn made for it. lol
