The double wishbone suspension in the front of the integra is so much better than the strut setup of the B13.
As you can tell I am all about racing from a dig. Actually as far as I'm concerned running from a dig is what separates men from boys.

Then of course if the RSX-S has I/H you're in for a world of hurt.

I don't agree. My buddy Albert (Recon23 on CTVtec) has an 02 Type-S with CAI, HKS exhaust and other minor non go fast work and I am dead even with him from 0-120 on my last daily driver setup (10:1 motor w/ S3's 2.25in header lightweight flywheel it was fully bolted with the exception of pulleys).
I am waiting on my 2.5in header for my fully bolted DE, but I just put on the pulleys and ran my friend Steph (RSXGIRL on CTVtec)in a 05 RSX Type-S which is quicker from the factory than an 02 but she just has an WAI. I pulled like a freight train from a 30 roll and quickly put a car on her, I was still pulling away and realized she wouldn't be able to catch up so I let off around 100.
I will admit they are both younger than me and probably less experienced racing but I don't think killing them with bolts ons is that hard. They are decent cars out of the box but everyone hypes them up so much.
When Albert buys a race header and K-pro I know I am done for. Hopefully at that point my white car with a built VE will be around to mop the floor with him!
