After I smashed my civic on tues my new car decision time got bumped up.. Yesterday I tried out the scion tc, overall it wasnt bad, especially for what you pay. Next I went to acura and took out an old type-s cause the new ones were all still packaged off the truck. Took me about 60 seconds to decide to get a type-s over the tc. Especially with the new design. I got the blue which is alot flashier and lighter than the old blue. Also the design in the front I think is much nicer and helps it look less like a civic imo, and the rear lip spoiler is classy. So I droped my down-payment and sat around while they cleaned off all the shipping materials, and i drove her home last night. As for how the the extra rpm range/hp feels im working on breaking it in, ive only got about 30 miles on her so far, cant wait to be able to open her up to 8 grand. I havent driven the old type-s much but this one handles great (much better than a tc) .

Congrats on your New Toy!!!

 

i want one too... maybe later.

 

Congrats!

 

Congrats... have fun. But did you say it makes it look... less like a civic?

 

yeah i was not as impressed with the front ends on the older models, they seemed to resemble civics with the headlights they had.... just my opinion

 

congrats man
have fun with it

 

Congrads, im jelous of your now 50 more ponies and extra gear. Its funny that you say that about the lights though. I saw my first 05 on tuesday when up in Long Beach for school. It looked very civic like to me. I couldnt tell if it was a type s though. It didnt have the s badge but the molding on the bottom was body colored. Civic or not looking though, that thing looked sweet, especially in the black. Have fun with her bud

 

checkout clubrsx Hondata just posted some dyno numbers. Motor responds very well to MODS.

 

GOOD CHOICE!!!

 

congrats on the car. IMO the 05 rsx looks more like a civicthan the 02-04.

 

pics up

 

Looks great, I like that color. Currently I have 240 miles on mine and every day it gets harder to keep the rpm's down. I can't wait to really open it up and see what it can do. Great choice!

 

the new exhaust looks nice

congrats

i think the old RSX headlights owned the new ones. nice car anyway

 

nice car man give us some more photos in the appearence cosmetic forum!

 

Congrats on the new car! Funny you say the old ones look like a Civic...the general consensus on Clubrsx is that the '05s look Civicish.

As far as Hondata on the '05, I believe everyone is still in the midst of seeing whether the '05 is going to be as responsive to tuning as the '02-'04 models... Different ecu...

 

love the color.
