Sup guys, I just wanted to say hello.

My name is John, I drive a 2002 Acura RSX Type S.
the car is Firepepper Red Pearl, I have a type r spoiler, rims, intake, exhuast, dcrh, kpro, sound system, and a few other parts that I haven't installed yet.

My next mods are going to be an 05+ bumper/headlight conversion, mugen lip kit, and I want to paint the car white (pearl or championship, not sure yet).

Don't expect to get anywhere near the average price when you ever decide to sell.

Edit: By the way, welcome to Honda-Tech.

Thanks guys,

and thanks for the advise, I figure I've got three more years worth of payments so I figure I'll end up keeping it for a while. The way things are going to work out I won't be able to purchase any of the other cars I interested in before 2009 when I graduate, and then I'll working away from home with a company provided rental car so I prob. won't buy another car until 2011-2013.

I've had a few other modified hondas and one mitsubishi very briefly so I'm familiar with the drawbacks to modifing your car.

I posted a link to a picture of my car in the dc5 picture thread, but here it is if anyone wants to check it out:

The picture is small but it is the only picture I have hosted online.

Thanks guys

the rims are 17 inch adr sokudos.

I'll try to snap a few larger shots sometime in the future when the car is clean again. I have been down for the past week+ with bronchitis so the car needs some tlc.

I have a set of spring and camber kits as well innovative mounts and a hondata img waiting to be installed. Hopefully I will be able to get to it when it warms up.

What's wrong with white?

I don't do too many day pics, the frp isn't as nice in the sunlight and the clearooat is peeling on the driver side (thus why I want to have it painted).

Appreciate the comments, and everytime I look at the car I think I am four-wheeling.

I have sportline springs sitting in my closet waiting to be installed, I've had them forever, it's just hard to find the time and a decent place to do the install.
