Welcome to the k20 swap club Remember to keep it under 4500 rpm for the first 1000 miles. Also be sure to check the oil at every other gas stop or so. The type s likes oil on a fresh block...

Congrats! Got mine a month ago and I simply love it! Where'd you get the OEM kit from and for how much? I'm still deciding between the ITR kit and the Acura OEM kit.

I think you should. I am. I usually just check out the Off-Topic, Acura RSX and the General Auto Ramblings section.

You miss your Civic? I do too, but only because it's so hard trying to keep under 4000rpm during my break in period on my RSX. I'm literally still on my first tank of gas.

Lol, I miss my Civic because I can't stay out of vtec which eats gas like a ****. I'm also so used to driving the civic that I shift my Rsx like if I was in my Civic, lol too early.

blondehondachik I have the same bodykit that your civic had. I like the way your mesh looks unpainted. I had them paint it when they painted my car. I really like the m3 style rims too.

What kind of intake did you get? I got the AEM V2, but I haven't installed it yet. I might sell it and get the Injen CAI instead. I just don't want the hassle with changing the reservoir.

Oh, and it's vtec, not v-tech. . . or actually i-vtec on our RSX's . Sorry, I needed to correct that.

I got an intake too, an HKS Super Mega Flow. When you hit 6,000RPM it sounds like the world is coming to an end.
