So yeah, I'll leave it like this... good day.
Looks to me like the sports cars that people are searching for the most on MSN (of all places...but that's another story).

RSX ≠ sports car.

Of course, neither is an Eclipse, and an MX-5? ...not in my book.


Regardless, RSX == fail.

Wow this went way off topic. lol. I say go with an lsx swap but if you have to have nissan then the Vk is the way to go. They sell a vortech kit for the VK so with that and some good tuning you should be good. Good luck!

So don't compare a .45 to a little .22 pea shooter such as your RSX ( you wonder why they discontinued that car... )
keep feeling good about your wack a$$ over priced ride.. don't hate because you are getting waxed by a 4 cyl

Surely you're not referring to an RSX?

Not to thread jack the op but how about getting a 4-rotary turbo engine in that Z....If you have the cash Mazda will build you one from the factory. I have only seen some 350Z's in Australia do this swap.

Rotaries are awesome...as long as they're in an RX (stateside, anyway).

They have a fairly usable powerband, if you're used to a Honda (or more relevantly, an Acura).

you are crazy even in my AT Z i've raced my friend who i will admit is a much better driver and i destroyed him in his RSX type s and i had a terrible start idk what rsx your talking about or what your smoking

to OP

i think that VK swap would be nice just something about the RB swap always sounds better especially if you talk about aftermarket support good luck with your swap
