hey /o/, i've been considering buying a fa5 civic si because of the k20 motor but i don't know if i should. would it be worth it? because i don't really know the reliability of the engines at such high mileage since every civic si is a daily. so should i opt out and buy a more recent fb6 civic si with the k24 motor? or should i stick it out with the k20 and if so, has anyone driven the acura rsx type s? is it better or about the same as the fa5 civic si?
help me out /o/

K24 has more low end torque than the K20. K24 is a great daily, but is not super rev happy so if you like screaming engines then go for a K20. The K series are practically indestructible.
The RSX Type S will basically drive like the FA5, but in coupe form. Not sure about the chassis code for the 8th gen coupe SI but it's basically the same car just in a nicer shell.

I own a 05 rsx-s and its fantastic. I like the interior and exterior far better than the SI's from 06 and up. Plus it's a hatchback and the gearing is a little higher and it has a bit more power (210bhp) but it lacks an lsd, but that's an easy fix.
