Exactly the same as the tC being born from the Toyota Celica.

 

i used to hate on hondas till i bought one cause of gas mpg.. had to park that 8 in the garage and take the 4 out lol but now i just bought my second honda and i love it.. could use a lil work tho..

 

Ahhh....another firm believer in the labelling of the 'tC' as the Celica. everytime i try to explain that i get laughed at. [:@]

 

Officially, it stands for touring coupe. Logically, it would have been xC, but that was already taken by Volvo. ....... Lots of tuners would argue that it was originally intended to be turbo Charged, but went the SC route, just to be different.

 

Is it wise to SC such a small displacement, I mean it comes 161/163 stock doesn't it? SC is parasitic in nature.

EDIT- Hmm...it gets to 200/185 once TRD S/Ced...so I guess it becomes a better RSX (more torque)

 

falk: r u planning on going SC?

 

Not a chance in He!|!!!! That SC sucks!!! Way too many problems ..... all the lag of turbo with less power and more problems, no thank you! ...... I am however drooling over a GT3076R ..... but I might buy a 16G first because I can get it for $400 ..... supposedly used for only 1500 miles ....... by a fairly well known guy at CStC.

 

Sweet. Keep us posted on your progress!

 

Will do.
