Default check out my 03 type s aspec

Well i been looking for an rsx for the longest time and i finally found one that was really close to stock. it has 57,000 miles and the only mod was a comptech intake box..... sorry for the pics being fuzzy took quick pics......

fender looks messed up in this pic but trust its the trees





i have a question when i turn on the heat it only seems to work when im actually driving, when i first start the car in the morning it seems as it only blows cold air and when im parked somewhere and i have driven it for awhile it goes to colder air but i have it at 82 is this normal or should i go back to the dealer since its under warranty and try to get it fixed

hope u like

Looks like everything is A-Spec except the suspension.

i had a feeling it wasnt dropped at all because it seemed regular height to my friends rsx.... when i spoke with the salesman he told me the car belonged to a older gentleman,so i guess they replaced it with stock type s springs, well they stressed to me that it was a real apec because i asked about the badges and they said he took them off so no one would steal it so.. well i have to go back to get my plates so i guess i will ask them about the heating problem...

There is no such thing as a 'real' A-Spec. Any car could be an A-Spec as they are all dealer add-on options (you could add them all or you could add them one at a time).

It is not considered a trimline since all RSX's arrived on US shores as either a base model or Type-S. Heck, you could make a base model auto an A-Spec if you wanted to (local dealer has one on the used lot, actually).

What are all the "official" a-spec mods anyway? Is it just body kit, suspension and rims that are different?

Also, where can you find these for a 2003? I saw the suspension and the rims on ebay brand new, but the a-spec body kit on ebay says only for 2005-06. Thanks for the answers.

theres an aspec wing which is the same at the itr wing.

Theres also a 02-04 aspec lip kit and a 05-06 lip kit completely different from one another and obviously each one wont fit on the other models.

they have some type-r rims on ebay but the rims you have on look pretty sick : i think just a drop and some Type-R headlights would look good

The heat comes from the motor, if the car is cold its not going to blow hot air until the car has warmed up a little.
