Rep Power: 303

Damn, still nice! Good job!

 
Rep Power: 303

Wait! This is NOT a Type S!?!?!?!?

 
Rep Power: 319

so you think...hahaha anyways I didn't like the bastards who drove them but now they all have 06+ si's or g35s...it's everything I woulda done to the em2 but I don't have to drop 15k cash at once to do it...plus the car practically landed in my lap for a really good deal...

 
Rep Power: 320

i'm thinking maybe he just took off the S emblem. i think the type S has the red valve cover. Unless the previous seller got the red cover and type S wheels.

 
Rep Power: 319

It's a type s...the emblem was taken off before I got the car...funny part is tc owners try to mess cause of that and get owned LOL

 
Rep Power: 253

Rep Power: 304

nice pickup mike wut mods are u planning for it??

 
Rep Power: 319

probably...i'll only be cruising it tho...i dont wanna make any mess of the car as soon as i get it lol

it has HID's and a fujita CAI already...thats all ill probably do until later...

i might go S/C, jdm type r tail lights, and maybe a type r wing after i supercharge....otherwise the car is so clean as is so i dont want to do anything

 
Rep Power: 304

koo koo

 
Rep Power: 320

lol..i know my type S's. Yeah just bring out and cruise. i'm probably not gonna really push mine either.

 
Rep Power: 320

mike, you should check out the tsx retrofit i did for my gf's 05-06 rsx.

 
Rep Power: 320

i'll guesstimate $8k, since you can buy a used s2k for around $10-12k

 
Rep Power: 319

for sure...i was thinking of doing a retrofit to this one...used 01-02 s2ks got for 12-14k 03-05 is about 14-18k and 06-09 18-37k nowadays...used 05-06 dc5s blue book at 15-19...mine was msrp'd for 18900...thats what the dealer wanted to sell it for approx...so you can get an idea of how much i got mine for...wholesale that is...

believe me i was car shopping for 2 weeks straight with no luck on an s2k...every time i find one its been in an accident or repaired or is in poor shape or if i find a clean one its too expensive for what i wanna pay...

 
Rep Power: 320

i just found a s2k on craigslist for $9600 this morning. i posted it on the ***** thread. I assumed $8k since there was a guy selling a 04 type S with a jackson supercharger for $10k. Since i know your the type to pay in cash and not finance.

In this economy, everyone pays below whole price.

here's a link to my rsx retro

when it comes down to those somethings usually wrong with the car...sometimes its not sometimes it is but in any case i went through a family friend's dealership so i got financed (heh) and he had the car sitting there ready for a new owner lol...so i said yes

plus i've been running mad carfax's on vins on craigslist and most of them have some form of accident on record if its a low price...however the ones on craigslist that are clean are in the price ranges i said before...

Plus i wanted a newer car rather than a 01-03 s2k i went with the 06 so i dont have to smog. haha

and nice job on the retro...i might do that...or buy ur gf's hahahahaha

 
Rep Power: 320

wow, didn't think you would finance. Since i spoke to awhile back, i remember you wnere't really into the idea of financing. Then again i guess lots changed, since you didn't like rsx's back then either.

actually the retro on her car was easy. You just make the bracket wide enough to fit the tsx projectors and call it a day and reseal them.

 
Rep Power: 319

yea i got a better sustainable job which pays well...so i thought i'd give it a shot lol...how much was everything?...cuz i was thinking that as my next project

 
Rep Power: 262

car looks good. time for hondata reflash

 
Rep Power: 320

probably about $600 for everything. $350 if you just use your oem head lights and not use a second pair like me.

 
Rep Power: 319

thanks...no hondata until s/c...i've been there and done the mods with a k20 on my old 93 eg sedan and i have to say gas mileage and reliability go to **** after tuning...albeit i did get 215 whp with 169 tq from a stock a2 with bolt ons...i wonder what this will do when i kpro and s/c

whoa thats pricey...but if you want looks its the way to go...ill probably just get some piaa yellow city light bulbs and call it a day haha

 
Rep Power: 320

lol is hid retrofit isn't for looks man. Its still a performance enhancment since it increases your lighting and your night visability.

Trust you'll definately see the difference of the wide beam of a hid project versus the two little V's you get with a HID kit.

As for the tune, it sounds like you had a overly agressive tune. i have a tune on my car and its just as reliable except i lost maybe 2mpg. From 22mpg to 20mpg.

 
Rep Power: 319

I know the retro in the long run will be benefitial especially when I start canyoning again but I wanna spend my money on a few other things before hehe but i'll probably attempt it this time haha...I wanna get a new macbook pro and a nikon d90 first
