New addition to the Family- DC5 :)

On black friday my dad came home with a 2005 Magnesium Metallic RSX Type-S. He moved up from his Integra, and damn was it a step up. 35,000 miles, like new condition inside and out. :)
Man this car is FUN! Vtec is such a great thing, once you hit 6k its like OMG amazingness lol. The sound alone blows you away. Getting on the freeway today, i hit 80mph like nothing. 80mph feels like 60mph. Ride is a tad stiff but i love it. Handles great! Steering feel is dead on. Exhaust sounds sexy. Overall we already love this car! Its hard to drive slow. We look foward to AutoX'ing it soon!

very cool. Those are freakin' rockets compared to the Fit. My new addition isnt an ITS, but rather a '03 Si hatch. Already got plans for a k24a2 swap with JRSC-R! Oops, did i spill the beans??? Anyways, Tool, very nice addition!

Nice. I always enjoy when they are rebadged as Integras with the Integra badge in back and the H up front.

Good car man my old roommate had a white rsx type S supercharged it and a couple other things. Was pushing 275 to the wheels i belive. It was fast for a rsx. I love the interior on them so nice.

yes same here! with the chrome H in the front and back for me though. it looks the best on a rebadged TSX in my opinion.

I wouldnt suggest doing the badges. If anything, H emblems and no RSX/Integra badge.
The back looks great with no badges.

Short shifter? I didnt think they needed it driving my friends. My Vw needs it.
Rear passengers hand me the shifter for 3rd and 5th gear throws.

They look great dropped on OEMs. I love those wheels.
