Early 2000's high revs

I guarantee you every ''high revving'' Honda or Toyota in Ontario burns more oil than gas. People of brown complexion tend to not take very good care of their cars.

2ZZGE wont die if you do oil a bit more frequently than most normal cars.

>>16331056
this too.

>>16331033
what's your budget ?

I got myself a Prelude. 7400 redline, good handling, good chassis, and good interior. I expect the RSX-S will be similar if maybe not as nice inside, but it should do you well. Honda doesn't do high power or rwd, but they do good handling, reliable, fun cars.

S2000 don't be a bitch

MRS with a 2ZZ

I'm willing to go up to 7k.

Please give me more vaguely racist red-pilling about the state of used cars in Ontario, senpais!

Well excuse you, I have you know that my car loses more coolant than oil

i was looking for something about the same as you kek. ended up with the rsx. test drive em, i found the rsx drove much much nicer for my tastes than the celica.

>>16331091
prelude drives great too but has less space in the trunk, rsx has quite a lot. das what had me choose rsx between the two.

>>16331033
I been inside both cars, the RSX has just a better interior quality. The Celica has a pretty quirky interior and feels like it wraps around you for that "Cockpit" feels.

Both are 6spd, but the Type S comes factory equipped with an LSD.

Both the Celica and RSX have Macpherson Struts front, and Double Wishbones in the rear.

The Celica is slightly lighter than the RSX by ~130lbs.

The 2ZZ-GE actually hits the rev limiter slightly higher than the K20 (8300RPM 2ZZGE; 8250RPM K20). BUT, it depends on which year Celica because they did decrease the rev limit after 2003 I believe. The 2ZZGE has a great feel of that old-school "VTEC KICKED IN YO" while the K20 takes a smoother VTEC engagement. If you want to do forced induction, the K20 has been known to make a lot of power with stock internals than the 2ZZGE.


I don't think you'll go wrong with either car. Just test drive both and see which one fits you.

TL;DR - Flip a coin and buy the car that wins the coin toss.

>>16331173
The RSX-S doesn't have a LSD.

>>16331192
Ah, my bad. The Type R had it, I didn't think they would take it out for the Type S.

Open diff

Which one sounds nicer to you OP?

Seems to contradict you anon, at least in the sound of the two cars. I noticed VTAK much more distinctly.

Celica vid had shit sound tho.

Don't you Canadians have the Acura CSX Type-S which is basically the JDM Civic Type-R with the Civic Si engine?
I'd get that if I was Canadian.

Type S all the way. It's a great car. The interior is nice and very comfy. Performance is good and handling is PHENOMENOL. Just Google around. There's practically no drawbacks or common issues with these cars. They last and are damn fun. Make absolutely sure to get a facelift model, though (years 05-06.) This is crucial. They look nicer and have several improvements including more HP, and a 6 speed rather than a 5 speed manual. The 5 speed is finicky and suffers issues with gears popping out. Trust me, an 05-06 type S is the best option for an affordable fun car.

>>16331255
This car is LITERALLY a Civic. At least the RSX tries to hide it by being a little different. The 2006 Civic design until ~2012 makes me a little sick. They are more expensive than them for no reason.

Make sure to drive accurately and on special lines OP

>>16331301
>more expensive for no reason
8th gen civic comes with a k20z3 and an LSD. k20a2 has a better oil pump and that's about it.

>>16331394
I'm saying the CSX Type-S is more expensive than the Civic Si when they are almost exactly the same. Unless there's something else different other than luxury features, the CSX Type-S is not worth it.

>>16331268

All the Type S RSX's have 6 speeds.

There are very few differences between the 02-04 and 05-06 models. It's like 2hp and cosmetics.

s2000 you pussy leaf

>>16331033
An MRS or the Celica. I had a GT back in the day and it was great

>>16331033
I'd say the RSX tops the celica in just about every way

>>16331033
Fuck that macpherson shit, get a Prelude. Double wishbone all round FTW.

>>16331033

WRX

>>16331486
Can't find a prelude that hasn't gone to shit.

>>16331101

Fine, due to the demographics of your area you can reasonably expect to nix any VTEC Honda due to the majority of them being poorly taken care of.

Get the nicest car you find in the best condition for $3000. If you pay $7000 you're better off keeping your current shitbox as a winter beater and getting a used GC STi/Evo IV/Type R Honda from Calgary/Vancouver.

>>16331424
You're correct, it was the base that went from 5 to 6 speed. My bad.

>>16331268
How do I go about making sure the engine has not been revved to shit and is not burning oil? Aside from the typical inspection stuff, I wanted to a ppi. I was also told to get measurements for the compression of each cylinder. Are these effective measures to ensure the engine is in good shape?

It checks how well each piston is sealed in the cylinders. So yes.
