Ok well I have decided not to undertake the payments on an RSX-S, but rather to keep my hatch and give her a fresh new paint job with a few more accessories:

Here's the hatch to date:







Body:

The car will be painted red again, but I am debating whether to strip the door panels, strip and fill, or leave the door panel black?

I am planning on purchasing a cf duckbill and am still debating whether to get my rims powder coated a deep gunmetal.

I would love to see pics of the various setups on red eh model hatchs.

Motor:
Just incase any of you are saying...thats it!?!? Well I am a college student, so I need to keep the car streetable. As is, the car has all bolt-ons with teh head and internals remaining stock. The motor is very strong putting out 184whp and 130tq. The car is dynotuned, but I think I have room for one more thing right now.........I am going to go with itr cams and have it re-tuned in the fall.

Please post pics. I have searched the "best hatch threads" but it takes forever to find a red hatch.

thanks

 

Nice, I'd keep that over an RSX anyday, good choice.

how so???

 

Lol, I think he meant it would be kinda hard b/c the car came like that if his was a cx. I think he was just bustin your *****...

Anyways yea that was my background for....well a day cause of the line in the photo annoyed the hell out of me, but that is exactly what I am going for.

As for the lip, that cf is too much for me.

Ohh and what red to go with since I cant afford to paint teh engine bay I must stick with red. I have seen a couple of itr/gsr's on here with white rims that were painted a rich awsome red.....what color is that? Maybe s2000 red?

Thanks for all the posts and keep em commin

 

i would get new wheels if i were you with that money. strip the side moldings or get thin side moldings, and please god dont do red it looks good but everyone and there mother does that. nice car btw.

Believe me i wouldnt go red, but since I am short of funds, the car is already painted red, and I will not go with a red engine bay with a diff. outside color....yuck , then I am forced to go back with red.

Anyways does anyone have pics of an itr/gsr with a deep looking red color, white rims, and jdm front end? I fell in love with that red, but cant seem to find it anymore

 

good choice to keep the hatch

 

no need for a paint job, that **** is clean
