Hows it going I have been a Honda-Tech lurker for a couple of years (only when I needed real no bs answers) and finally have something worth posting...

In the summer of 2007 I picked up a 02 RSX-s for a reliable daily, I got a great price(but for every great price comes great cost and frustration) I planned to baby the car and be nice to it for my daily while I built a NA dart EM1. This didn't pan out so well as the amazing torque and variable I-vtec was too enjoyable to have restraint and the high mileage RSX spun a rod bearing racing on a mountain pass.

First I was only going to rebuild the S just for daily but ha whats the fun in stock....

Motor, I found the builder to be John Grudynski of Hytech racing and http://www.rsx-tuners.com he had a nice little Road race motor that makes 285whp



Benson Sleeved block 89mm
Carrillo Rods
Wiseco Pistons 12 to 1 comp hand finished and ceramic coated.
Ported head with new valves, springs, Ti retainers, valve seals and locks.
Roller cams Spec III intake and Spec II exhaust
RBC intake manifold modified for the RSX TB
Oil pump with mods and pan baffle
Adjustable exhaust gear
Oil mod to cam towers
Coated rods and crank
And one hell of a Header.

After getting bored waiting for the motor I found time to strip the car.



This led me to build the suspension bar none



Comptech adj rear sway(beast)
Sk2 billet arms
Tein FLEX w EDFC
and a full DC5-R brake and alm arm package.



The body of a high Mile RSX was bad to say the least, getting carried away I thought why just paint and leave stock, the carbon fiber ***** in me gave voice and procured

Hood(oem)
Hatch
Front fenders(oem)
Skirts.....

Oh and The front bumper, doors, rear bumper (wings style custom made who knows where, took 6 months)

like this but carbon



Interior was next where i'm still debating on what to use, currently using

Porsche GT3 carbon reps with takata 5 points
black cusco sides, harness bar, mid brace.
New carpet and a carbon fiber headliner.
