My Friend's New RSX-S w/pics!

You forgot pics of her IN the car. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

You should drive it after it's broken in. And if she always granny shifts, you can impress her with your pimped out shifting skills (and I don't just mean redline each gear and downshifting to scare her or make her ask too many questions.) [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

When I test drove the Type S, it was exactly in that color (without the spoiler and foglights). It's not a bad color IMO. Nothing i'd buy. (BLACK Type S is what I like.)

DC5R for me... 10 more months...

PLEASE tell her to break it in properly or she may experience heavy oil comsuption, bent valves, blown head gaskets or the worst case scenerio ive seen, the blown K20A2, so I wouldnt go on a redline spree until past 1100 miles just to be save.

Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Looks good. Make sure she does lots of mods!

I like the Red as well...loved the White as well but the Titanium interior robbed it for me...if they wouldve had ebony I would have went with white instead of blue.

Yeah breaking in an engine properly is extremely important. At work, there is this red S2000 (license plate 'REDLNR') that has been in the shop 9 months out of the past year. The owner has blown the engine three separate times, all because he refuses to break it in properly after each rebuild (it has been running a rebuilt bottom end with a Comptech supercharger). Well this is the last time we're paying for the engine rebuild - for the past few weeks our service manager has been driving the car to and from work himself. If the owner isn't going to break it in, then we're going to do it for him, and he's not getting the car back until it is properly broken in
