Looks to be affordable and within my budget.

[i_rebel]

That would be VERY nice.

My only word of advice:

"Bring your own lube . . . if you're gonna get price phuq'd by the dealer, let it be on your own terms!"

Seriously though, I'd go for it, ESPECIALLY if it's within budget!!

Plus it'll take you a couple of notches up from the Accord

[DVSNCYNIKL]

No doubt kid! I wanna see for the weekend if I can arrange for a test drive.

[RCer]

Vayas DV!

That car sounds like a lot of fun!!!!

[DVSNCYNIKL]

Thanks. It's not official yet, have to work out the numbers first to see what types of loan numbers I'm gettin'! Then, with the help of my girl(yeah, that's right wifey!), I should be able to squeeze a new ride in. If I do go that route and it becomes official, I will be selling a set of brand new still in the box Bec Tech Struts(4th Gen Accords only) and a set of brand new still in the box real HID lights. These are the ones from Philips, who make'em for BMW and other manufacturers.

But, I'm praying right now and hopefully see what happens.

[primera man]

Well it looks like you have done your home work on this model and you know what you want.
Best of luck and i hope wifey helps you out

[DVSNCYNIKL]

Here are some more facts and specs on the RSX. Plus, a test drive of the Type-S.

RSX

[R35]

Seeing the car in person it's a bit too tall for my taste (added 2 in from the Integra), but it is on my list of cars to look at

Current list of cars to buy:

Nissan Skyline GT-R (if it comes to the states, being the car I love no matter what it get's first choice )
Nissan Z (love the original, so I'll try the new one)
RX-8 (I like the 4 passenger idea and the cool door, hope they'll have more torque.)
RS-X (I loved the Integra and will keep the RS-X on my list, never say never )

BMW M3/Audi A6 (fun to drive, but over priced and way too many around where I live)

Well DVS, good luck and let us know what if any mods will be done. And don't forget the picutres too:sun:

Well for starters, yeah, that too tall statement sounds about right. I believe a 2" drop is in order. Probably throw some coilovers. I'm going to aim for 18's, if it's possible. Exhaust, all the good stuff. Right now the aftermarket support for this car is not all there just yet. I've found one or two sites that already have mods for it. Going to hope that by the time I get this car, there is more stuff out there.

I'll definitely take pics once I get it. I'll keep ya'll posted.

DVSNCYNIKL, i built my dream RSX and it ended up just like yours, except for the Ash tray and cigarette lighter.

i wish desert silver metallic came in ebony leather. the darker leather looks nicer than the lighter.

[juicedRSXtype-s]

Traded in my 2000 Celica GT for the 2002 Acura Type-s (desert silver metallic). Just got all the base options though. I will wait till better looking body kits and spoilers come out. You wont regret the money spent even though it will cost alot more then you stated when you add tax, tags, license, interest, etc. The car is fast. I can chirp third gear. Anyways, good luck with the car.

[Jay!]

So does that mean you got a manual tranny? Welcome to AF, by the way.

[Adam]

type-s' only come in manual's

[gang$tarr]

that would be a nice ride man, good luck

[F20C]

Don't buy the factory 7 spoke rims. Go aftermarket and buy a better set of wheels and rim combination. The stock 16 inch does not provide enough grip.
