SSIII VVT-i Vs RSX Options

[andreas]

Hello....My brother its been a member of 6gc.net and i like very much the site and i`m watching almost all the topics.My brother has Celica 96 SSII JDM Specs imported from Japan.My first car was a 94 Honda Prelude 2.2 Vtec JDM with A LOT of mods and my current car is a 97 Subaru WRX JDM.I`m planning to get a 99 CELICA SSIII VVT-i JDM those days(i recently blow up my WRX Engine) and i`m looking for a reliable car like Celica.I found 99 Celica SSIII and i will check it again at tomorrow and i want to ask if somebody can compare it with Honda RSX or ever race one RSX.

Thank you very much

Please checkout the links above for RSX reference.

The SIII you will get will have the 3SGE VVTi engine which is 210HP.

I believe that both cars will run neck to neck. But I suspect that the RSX will have a slight advantage due to Vtec and vehicular setup. The engine might rev more freely and the chassis might be setup for racing unlike the celi.

Also, the race will depend on how you launch, and drive the car on the rpm scale which include shift points and so on.

I have never drivened both, so I would be surprise if a video is post with such a race on a drag track which is legal. Get what I mean!!!:D

I will admit that you can get more bang out of the 3SGE engine than with the Honda engine.

Check out www.todaracing.com and others like JUnauto.co.jp and so on.

Use search engines like www.google.com to find out if this is so.
