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.

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?

Why did we change topic away from that lucrative D17 swap?

Haha just kidding yea battery relocation + wire tuck can make under the hood look pretty badass. :)

Re: DJ Axle's RSX Build Thread
 
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. :th_dance:

Re: DJ Axle's RSX Build Thread
 
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 ^_^

Those TEs are probably my favorite rims of all time.

Re: DJ Axle's RSX Build Thread
 
Yea those are good too.. but the 37s are just simple, and beautiful, and have never been matched :)

SlimRisk 05-14-2013 07:20 PM

Re: DJ Axle's RSX Build Thread
 
And they're legit te37s too! Not rota grids or any other copy. A few more weeks and they'll be on the car
