Default Out with the old & in with the new!

Well this is my first time posting pictures of the car, I will start with my car before this which led me to get the RSX.

91 civic
B16a
AEM intake
4-1 header
Euro VR6 lip
Smoked amber corners
VIS carbon hood
JDM SIR Side markers
Custom 2.5 exhaust
K-Sport LCAs & coilovers with 12k/10k rates
ST rear sway bar
Slips with Azenis & SIs
Stage 2 clutch & Light weight flywheel
Just the main stuff that I can think of off the top of my head!





On 10/05/07 this happened A boy didn't yield to a solid green light and slammed into the side of me





After a few days of looking, I was looking at RSX's before but never really got to serious because I had the hatch and enjoyed not having a car payment. After the accident I had to upgrade!

Got the RSX on Oct. 10!
How she sat when I bought it! Completely stock! Starting fresh again!

And how it is as of today!




What makes the car fast!

And the engine! Nothing special.


So far I am happy with the car, it’s a fun car and it’s nice actually having something newer! Sorry about the cell phone pictures! I will get some better ones once I buff out the car!

Do you ever have anything good to say?!?^^^

RSX looks bomb man, Ill be getting something new in a couple months here, and a RSX is on the list. I got a little while before I have to decide, but for now im leaning more towards the new accords

Where did you pick that up at? Dealer? Frankel maybe?? Lol I also got to find a decent place to deal with in MD

Yeah it was pretty straight foward, the car was in richmond but I got them to ship it to fredricksburg since that was a little closer to me, once it got there I drove up there, test drove it and went and got the paper work done. It was a pretty quick process and everything is really organized there. Not to sure if I like the "No haggle" price thing other than that i was satisfied.

i love blacked out cars.
i think u should smoke your taillights though.

love the emblems as well...
what did u use for them?
i blacked mine out..i sanded them down with like 800 grit. and used some bulldog thats helps paint stick. then put black trim paint on them...my front emblem is pefect but all the paint chipped off my rear one.


nice car tho..
