DJ Axle's RSX Build Thread Hey guys, new here to the RSX scene, but I am famililar with Hondas. I own a 2001 Honda Civic LX that was riced out by the previous owners. I wanted something with more power so I decided to K-Swap it. Unfortunetly, that would be too expensive and time consuming, so I bought an RSX instead.
I drove 4 hours to pick her up with my dad from crsx member bksnowboy. 2003 Acura RSX Type-S ABP. Beautiful car.
Engine:
Fujita Cold Air Intake
Megan Racing Headers
Invidia G200 Exhaust
255lph Walbro Fuel Pump
Hondata IMG
Energy Suspension Motor Mount Inserts
Exterior:
Depo Blacked Out Headlights
6000k Mcculloch HIDs
Fog Lights
Interior:
Stock
Suspension:
Koni Struts
Comptech Lowering Springs
Rear DC Tie Bar
Energy Suspension Bushing Kit
Brakes:
Stoptech Stage-2 Brake Kit
More pics and such to come. Future mods include battery relocation, fusebox relocation, red energy suspension motor mount inserts, aftermarket headunit and speakers, subwoofer, and more!!

A wise decision buddy. Loving the color and wheels too. Is it just me, or does the battery in the engine bay look tacky as hell in k20 bays?

A lot of potential for the RSX. I just wish they were a bit lighter. I really like the looks of them, especially with the tall wing like yours!
Oh by the way, I will give you my entire car for your engine.

Lol no d17 trades. But I did a full wire tuck on my civic and I love the look of the bay. It was really easy so I'm excited to do it on my RSX. I got some goodies in the mail and ill take pics as they come in the mail ^_^

You'll see haha. I gotta prime it, then I'm going to paint it matte black. Hopefully I'll get it installed tomorrow
