That's awesome. What name did you use?
It's not surprising a lot of RSX guys are interested in this car. It's basically a RWD RSX - which is a match made in heaven imo. I don't know if it'll be as easy to mod as the RSX-S was, but let's hope so.

It always happens though. I used to have a B5 A4, and the Audiworld B5 forum was awesome while the average value of the car was $10-15k. Once they started to get old enough that people were getting them for under $10k in high numbers, you start to get too many trashy people and punk kids in the forums. Now the only biggest conversations on CRSX are like the hellaflush ones, and that's stupid. On AW it was when everyone wanted to throw 20"s on their A4s that I knew it had gone downhill.
I think they need a central place for the chassis since they'll be so similar rather than breaking them apart into the Suby and Scion forums separately. This place seems good so far.
*Edit* 1 more thing. I'll prbably auto-X the car for a season intially to get a feel for the limits, but HPDEs are my new drug now. I quit autocross last year and only do those now, and it's so much better. If you have the ability to get to one and afford them, I highly reccommend it.

Mmm, I'd love to get a few HPDEs in. I've got a handful of years of seat time in auto-x, and often with a co-driver who's got much more experience, but I'm sure it doesn't even come close to what you'd get out of a paid HPDE. My plan with the M3 was to graduate from auto-x to road courses, but I think I'll just be replacing my car with a different RWD vehicle.
I remember that time. Right around 2008 or so was when the RSX was breaking that 12k price point, and that seemed to be when the ricers/trash/kiddies were grabbing them. Happens to every car I guess.
