I’m sure the rsx has a tune. Car looks like a blast on the track. I assume the rsx is faster?

Also gotta ask. What does hold mean? Is it on the car?

He commented hondata k-pro, which is essentially the same as flashpro for the current civics. It had a different name back then.

Any specific tracks you’ve taken the rsx to? There are a handful of track enthusiasts on here.

Always thought k-pro was a modded ecu like the s300. Its a stand alone device?

Yes it has a tune.

The civic has more torque so my guess is the Civic might be faster off the line, but by 3rd gear I would expect the RSX to walk the civic. I refer to "Hold" as suspension and anything that helps handling & traction.

I started off with a few autocross events. Then did a few small tracks around Florida. I have done a few NASA events at Sebring Int'l Raceway and Road Atlanta Raceway. Best time at Sebring was 2:49 and Road Atlanta 1:55. Still plenty of room for improvement. I'd like to get down to low 2:40's at Sebring and around 1:45 at Road Atlanta. Just need more seat time.

Kpro is a modded ecu they sell to replace your oem ecu. Then you have software you can use to tune the car.
