ACURA-C

CL was acting up with the tranny so I had to let her go. But I am still in the Acura family. I just bought a 03 RSX Type-S yesterday. I will miss my V6, but thus car rocks. I will check in periodically to see how people are doing. Thanks again fellas and here are some pics of the OLD and NEW.......PEACE

jamesjinlee

are u selling anything from your CL ?

ACURA-C

I might sell my clear signals CHEAP. One has a rock chip crack in it..( i was pissed about that). I also have my generic short ram intake. I have my Enkei RS-6 rims and tires still available only like 1500 miles on the tires.
What sucks is I had to trade it in with my KYB AGX and Prokit still on the car. I could have definitely sold it to one of you guys. Ill post my parts in another thread. The wheels are prolly the only things worth anything.

Nice color choice on the RSX-S! You'll definetley have some fun in that little thing!

ACURA-C

Thanks man. The pics dont do the color justice. The pearl white is awesome. I love the metallic in it..

R1Performance

Congrats on the new ride, Pearl White is definitely the color to have on DC5's imho. If my buddy's 02 S wasn't pearl white, I would have definitely gotten it over the Desert Silver I ended up getting.

ACURA-C

Thanks man....Desert Silver was my next choice. That color is NICE!!

did they say anything about the suspension when you turned it in?

ACURA-C

The Honda dealer screwed me hard. I tried to trade it with rims and clear signals and sri and they f'd me. Told me they could only give me 3000 for it cuz they would have to raise it back up. I was shopping for 6 SPD accord /navi

Then I realized I might have more fun in the RSX-S so I put everything back on stock that I had except for springs/struts and salesman didnt seem to notice. IT was kinda funny cuz he was like "I cant tell what about your car looks so different, maybe its the missing emblems on the trunk" I was like yep buddy, thats it!

He did like it anyway. So anyway, Acura gave me 7200 for CL and RSX-S for 21,800. I really like it, but Im still missing the torque and the individuality I felt with my first gen.....now Im like every guy on the block. But atleast I can get my ECU upgraded!!! and a crap load of other mods.

Ill be posting my rims for sale soon on here and ebay. Take it easy fellas! and THANKS!!!!

Jamz

Have fun with your new Acura.

I had one for a loaner a couple weeks ago.

With a little lower suspension that thing will handle like a go-cart.

ACURA-C

It feels like it right now, especially with the tiny stock steering wheel. THANKS!

ApocalypseCL

Yeah that RSX-S is definitly the better car IMO congrats!!!!

I'm going to semi hi-jack this thread, since I found a couple pics of my Desert Silver sitting around. Sever is acting up, so if the pics don't come up, don't be surprised...enjoy the red X's if thats the case.

Notorious23CL

Hey R1Performance,

I will catch up with you on clubrxs...my member name is same in there (Acura-C) Gotta love the newbie status all over again!

It's a very nice car, and it becomes A LOT nicer when dropped, but the amount of people that have one is just ridiculous. And it's obvious why, it's a great deal. You cannot get any other new sport compact that is even half as nice as the RSX-S for that kinda money. Look at what it's competing against:

Celica - My celica is the only good Celica The new one is such a chick car
Civic SiR - Not exactly competition, since it's a lower class car
Tiburon - I've got 3 S for it, Sleek, Sexy and SLOW!
Eclipse - Good deal, but UGLY!!!! OMG UGLY!!
Mini - Ahahahahaahahahahaahahahaa!!!! *catches his breath* Ahahahaahahaha!
GTI - Overpriced for what it offers, and not as good looking
CL-S - EXPENSIVE!! HOLY ****! And the lease rates for it are garbage.
SRT-4 - We dun get em here, and even if we did, if I ever consider buying a domestic, it is the solemn duty of my closest friends to take me out back and blow my brains out.
If I'm leaving any car out, add it in yourself, but all things considered buying an RSX-S is just plain smart.
For me though, it dug it's own grave by being too good, as soon as I start seeing like ten a day of any car, I lose any attraction I've ever had for it.

R1Performance

Yeah...plus I made fun of his Raiders yesterday.

ACURA-C

I agree 100%. The car is bittersweet. Its a great deal for the money and very hot, but I soon will get pissed when I see one around every corner. Whats good for now is Im the only one in my town with one, (that Ive seen). There are so many things you can do to them which gives you a good opportunity to individualize it. So hopefully I can make mine as unique as possible.

Solarian

That's pretty sweet then, b/c where I live they're catching up to the civics. Admittedly, most I see are the non-type S, but the average person doesn't know any better.
