Ex BOM RSX-S owner here...I wish I could have kept that car too. I loved it.
Thank you for the compliment. Coming from you, it means a lot. You have some nice rides!

Thanks..although you may need a bigger bucket of popcorn. I'm pretty picky with what I want, and sometimes that creates a delay in getting things done.

Ms. Johnson, how is your daughter doing? She's about 12 going on 13 now right?

Also, your ex husband

First off all it's NOT Ms. Johnson..should of dug a bit more and then you would have known a few more things. My daughter is great! And the Ex is dead. And no I didn't kill him. If you would like for me to go into greater details of my messy divorce and the abuse I certainly can, however out of respect for my son (opps..see you didn't dig far enough to notice that one) I will refrain.

I'm not quite sure WHAT my ex or my kids have to do with anything...and I find it silly you are so hung up on the fact that perhaps I'm NOT who I am..is it REALLY such a rarity that someone can have a few different cars and like like working on them? Or perhaps your thrown by the fact that I have a set of boobs that makes you question?

Here I'll lay out the math for you. The RSX was bought in 2004 on a bank note. The car itself was my only investment. The rest was sponsored. It required a lot of time in phone calls and writing proposals. After that I had a Maxima as a DD that I paid a whopping $1900 for. Let's see..then yes the 2004 Acccord..yes again a bank note. And yes it's paid off..and then the Sol. Paid $3500 cash and threw a a few more grand or so into it. The WRX is currently on a bank note..the only one I have. The TL. Paid cash for. Yes I have 4-wheelers, yes I have a house on 10 acres with a pool. I have horses and dogs too..I also happen to have a decent paying job to afford things.

There..that SHOULD save you time from digging further..however none of it changes who I am or what I plan on doing with the cars.

While your questioning does not offend me..I'm pretty much an open book and as I said before it takes quite a bit to offend me, perhaps with others you guys should simply ask the person instead of trying to play super sleuth..might save you some time

20%.....thought as much.

Always a good laugh to see how long it takes for dudes to flock to a female on a car forum.

The response to your presence may have set a new record.

Since you handle your own well enough, I guess you'll be sticking around for awhile.

Looking forward to your progress with the TL.

A 3G TL-S is next on my list.

I'm sincerely curious why someone would keep a wide body rsx on hand, and yet a boosted del sol in storage. Especially since it looks like much more money went into the rsx instead of the del sol. That car looks like a typical turbo build that can be found all over HondaTech. Budget build. Nothing special. Yet for the life of me, I can't imagine anyone driving such an RSX after 2008.

I also find it interesting that after you got your tint done, you decided to photograph the car at a GM dealership.

It's pretty simple actually. Both cars are paid for and don't cost me anything to keep around.

I DO have friends...and they happen to work there. It's not rocket science really.

Very nice quick start on the TL mods. Ditto for the impressive stable of cars (plus a stable for horses?!?), own 10 acres, and you're night-shift RN. Do you ever sleep? Lol.

I'm new to the RSX-S as we just bought an 04 for our son as a surprise. Well, technically bought, because he will be paying for 50% via credit union loan, but he knew the criteria was he must have some real ownership of his first car. But I digress...

Have fun with the 6MT! I've really enjoyed mine. Plenty of things to fix (3rd gear, etc) and make better (ASPEC, etc) so keep the posts coming.

I'm sure that your son will love the RSX-S. Its a fun little car and what a GREAT way to do it for the first one. I think when they are vested, they take care of them more. Plus, it's fun to work on them together. I'm looking forward to some garage time with my son.

Thank you for the well wishes. I just ordered a CT SS, hybrid racing bushings, and braided lines tonight. I'm waiting on the leatherseats.com kit and Tein SA to show up yet.

I'm thinking the next purchase is going to be an A-Spec kit and then a vinyl wrap. I'm waiting to talk with the guy here that does them as he's busy right now doing a race team.

I still haven't decided on new shoes, but really am leaning toward the Advan RS yet.

For being new to the site, you sure know an awful lot about what mods to do for the TL specifically.

Looking at your first pic a little more closely, I actually think you already have the kit on there.

Do they have anything in the Midwest? I actually would love to come to something and meet some of you in person.

Also correct, however the front is damaged and I want to replace it instead of trying to fix it. I'm contemplating going with the type S rear if I'm going to do it even though it will require some modification as I think it looks better. I apologize, I should have clarified that when I first posted it.

I took off the door guards today. I used a heat gun and 3M adhesive remover. Worked super slick and I'm liking the cleaner look.
