it has to go back to the body shop!! They did such a bad job on the rear suspenion. I have like -2.3 degrees camber and .13 degree toe. its really messed up, I cant wait to have a fieldday with my insurance company.... Ill link some pic when I get them.

On another note tho, what do you guys think of the new RSX?? Im debating over the RSX and a WRX. I cant seem to find that much on the RSX yet but it should be out in late june -july?? Note sure yet??
thanks

For Hondas, I don't think they can adjust camber and caster at all unless you have aftermarket camber kit. All they can do is adjusting your toes.

thats why it has to go back. they have to (fix) what they did so it will pull the camber out more...

There were about 4 WRX's at last weekend's autocross. 3 of them were bone stock and had (apparently) novice auto-x drivers. Those 3 faired a bit better (2-3 seconds faster) than the batch of about 10 or so novice's in mildly prepped GSR's, Civics and other assorted imports.

The one that had exhaust, suspension and R-compound tires (and a VERY good driver) kicked serious ass and was near the fastest (non-modified class) time of the day.

They look to be very capable sports cars, but after seeing so many of them close up (sedans and wagons), I'm concluding that they are pretty damn ugly.

I agree that they arent the best to look at but with a little work, like you say, they can be fast. I just need more info on the RSX before the final decision.

Somthing to consider is this. With a NA car vs a turbo car if you live at alititude (>4000ft above sea level). You will notice larger differences when you go to sea level with a NA car.

That's what did it for me really. Getting rid of my Type SH Prelude for a WRX. Stock turbo cars will adjust to a point for the altitude where as a NA car will just simply lose about 3% of it's hp for every 1000 ft you go up. Where as the WRX will blow a few more psi out of the turbo to keep the Absolute Manifold Pressure the same here and at sea level. But just somthing to consider.

Wrx all the way. Not to diss the new rename integra. Price value the wrx can't be beat. Think about it. turbo vs n/a. You get more bang for the buck. That's in stock form. Add some upgade parts like large intercooler, exhaust, downpipe, larger turbo, injectors, wastegate, blowoff valve and you got a all wheel drive monster. The rsx will need a whole new rebuilt motor to get the performance of the wrx.
