now that my car is going under the knife for a while, i needed a suitable stock daily since the green one was slowly becoming un-daily-able. so i traveled north and brought back a piece of canada with me to serve as the new commuter car

I love the green one Canadian Acura EL's are my favorite I drive a 4DR sedan have the same clover green pearl color did a lot to it you can see my car under 04 05 rear end conversion. Black one looks good also it will have the black leather with front heated seats just as mine. I am looking to find the front end but its hard as its only available in Canada. But will keep on trying. Nice rides man.

After 14 years... she has been rear ended twice, shocks blown out, chipped clear coat, deteriorating headlight housing, its been keyed, cracked windshield, blown head gasket, transmission replaced twice, broken into multiple times, and pulled over countless times because of the color and darkness of the tint... she is still my favorite.

My new project, stock 01 5 speed HX picked up with bad timing belt for $400, rebuilt the motor and now enjoying 41.7mpg while i finish putting together my Rsx energy suspension 5 lug swap.



How she sits for now.


Pretty stock, 4in shifter extension w/ weighted **** and silver/white face cluster from a 5 speed 01 EX sedan.


All new everything, runs perfect.

Wow I think the last time I updated on here was 2014...oof.

Not much has happened with the ES1 lately besides replacing the front bumper (old one got messed up by a tire on the highway). Still need to get my rear quarter panel fixed after pinching it.
Took some semi-recent photos of it with its "new" wheel setup that I've been rolling on since 2015. This year also marked 10 years owning this little go-cart.

I don't really have any super huge plans for this car as of right now, not even sure when a K-swap will happen or if it even does as the Z project has been getting most of the attention (and I need at least one reliable car on the road right now).





I did get the windows tinted 40% all around, except for the windshield, and some dash rugs for the front and rear deck to protect it from the sun since taking these pictures. I also have to re-seat the side skirts as the summer heat was not too kind to them last year.

my em2 before mods / aftermarket foglights

after mods

as it sits right now



The side skirts and front lip are being installed right now at the body shop. Get the car back tomorrow!

Mod list:
BC Racing Coilovers
Hardrace Full Bushing kit, Hardened Rubber (Front LCA, Ball Joints, Rear RTA, Rear Knuckles)
Hardrace Rear upper adjustable camber arm
Da Vinci Racing adjustable inner-tie rods, OEM outer tie-rods
SHG Motorworks Delrin steering rack slider
Acura RSX base knuckles, hubs, bearings
Acura RSX Type-S rotors, calipers, pads
Goodridge SS brake lines
Civic EP3 Speed sensors
New OEM sway bar links and bushings, front and rear
Civic EP3 Type-R wheels, silver, 17x7
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 205/45-17 (road force balanced, car four corner weight balanced.)

Drives like a dream. Now, to k-swap.

Bonus: Interior, USDM 2005 Rallye Red Factory Limited Edition interior. I need to have the red alcantara reupholstered. The foot pedal covers and metal bezel around the shifter were also factory. The rear seats match, they just don't have honda emblems.

I don't know who "sold" you on that idea, but that's not actually a factory provided interior. Those are aftermarket or home made components.
