Hey guys, I'm going to hopefully show you the build up of my type s. Had it for about a month now but anyway I have done a couple things to it. My previous car was a 98' GSR I had a build thread on honda tech I'll link you guys to that if any of you guys are interested. But anyway I'll be posting some pictures about my car. Thanks guys, enjoy!

https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...3#post47824553 - My JDM Front GSR.

Some things that came with the car were a Injen Cold Air Intake, Skunk2 short shifter, and JDM black housing and JDM rear tail lights. The things that I've done is changed the HID's and Fog light's and changed the seats to Recaro's and I have a ARC Shift ****! Here are some pics, hope you guys enjoy!

Just some shots of my car







Here's the before and after shot of the Fog's and HID's



A before and after of my seats

Post some pics up! I would go boost, but later on. Hopefully I'll like this more than my GSR.

I will post pics soon. Build completes this June. If you want STI-killing power you could do race header, exhaust, intake, rbc manifold, and kpro tuned. Cheaper than turbo, but make use of your all motor power.

I doubt he would beat a STI with just those bolt ons. Maybe some cams and higher compression pistons.

Haha way ahead of you man, first things on my list I'll be tackling is suspension. Once I'm done my stance, engine will be right after!

Just my suspension soon, some things I do plan on doing are. The Headlight and rear conversion. I'm powder coating my rims to match my valve cover. I have my intake on its way now, I have the cold air in the car but I'd rather the short ram. I got the password JDM carbon intake, I loved it. Best intake IMO had it on the Integra as well. After I do my suspension and get my rims I'm gonna do engine and that will be headers, exhaust, intake manifold and a k pro tune. But after that I'll be done.... I think LOL.

Default Update!!

So I am vynl wrapping the car, using 3m 1080 scotch series. I'm doing a frost matte blue. Done about 65% of the car. Here's a pic! Reason I picked the matte blue was thought it was different and unique no one else has done it on a rsx from what I know.




Will post progress up tomorrow! Hopefully done by then too.

Default More updates!!

Hey guys, Sorry for the lack of posts been lazy but thought I'd jump back in and let you guys know what I've done so far. So the wrap is almost done just waiting to do my rear bumper. Things I've picked up are some mugen side skirts and a type r rear lip. Just ordered my coilovers the other day! Should be here tomorrow. Got the Tien Street Basis! Heard the ride is almost as comfy as OEM plus they go as low as I'd like just enough to clear wheel gap but enough to make me happy. I was going to go for the slammed look but thought I'd keep it a bit higher than my integra from before. Anyway here are the pictures!

Here are the Mugen Side Skirts and the Type R Rear Lip. Just have to wrap them and put them on. Same with my badges and deck lid spoiler.




Just the look of my car now! Bunch of shots. Also not really part of the car but I'll be picking up a DSLR tomorrow and hopefully get a lot better pictures and such for this build up.















The last pic is from the first day!

Anyway guys that's all I have done so far! I'll keep you updated as I install the coils and give you a review on them!

Default Fog Lights

Got new fog lights to replace my old gross ones that came with the car. These ones are OEM. I got yellow and a clear set but just haven't tried the clear out yet. Will post pictures of that later but they are 3k HID Fog lights. Amazing I must say, done by my friends at core customs. Check em out if you're in the Calgary area! Here are some pics of the before and after!

Before:
This was the ones from ebay, don't know what the previous owner was thinking haha.



After:



Extra Shots:







Yellow gives a very aggressive look on the car, only down side is everyone does yellow. I'll put up pics tomorrow of the other set and see how you guys like it!

Default Tien Street Basis!!

Hey guys finally got around to posting this up. Got my coil overs in, I'll give a small review. The ride is almost close to a OEM feel its very comfortable. Probably the best feel of a ride for any coil over that I have personally sat in. Suspension is very tight around turns, feels stable. Maxed out the coils they don`t sit as low as I thought but apparently they drop a inch just in a day or two when the spring starts to sit in. Most likely the front! But here is my before and after pictures! I'm hoping to get my wheels very soon also going to order my control arms and subrace and sway but all of that **** later haha. Anyway here are the pictures!

Before and after:






Ill make sure to grab some better pictures for you guys tomorrow! Anyway off to bed LOL enjoy!
