Hate on the <9" wide RPF1s all you want, I like how they look on the 02-04 body style.
The bay could use a little clean up but it's not too bad
The system
Even though I got the car with low miles the interior was already a bit worn. Maybe in the future I'll replace the steering wheel and reupholster/replace the front seats.
Baseline dyno done back in the day when it was bone stock:
Dyno done after I/RH/E and Kpro but before it had the RBC: (Same dyno as baseline, tuned by yours truly. And yes I have lowered the VTEC point since then, to 4,400 RPM where it should be.)
Thanks. Forgot to mention I have 5 mm spacers in the front as well. I actually had the car repainted in September so that's why it looks good. Honestly though I'm really picky and kind of unhappy with the paint job, I need to talk to the guy about it. I paid $1800 and already the hood has chipped spots and I've been noticing over time the whole car has dirt specks under the paint and bondo spider web marks where there were dents and it wasn't sanded properly.
Thank you. The mounts are still in damn good shape from what I can tell. From all the bad stuff I've read about the Innovative mounts it seems like Hasport uses better quality polyurethane or something.
Video my friend got when I tuned it on the dyno a while back. I need to get back on the dyno for another hour to retune it for the RBC, I'll post a sheet of that when it happens.

what’s going on guys, my name is Andre. I’m a new member to the club, but an old rsx enthusiast. I began my build in 2015 and as I fell Inlove with the platform I continued to upgrade it as we all do. Enjoy :) I’ll be posting random update pictures as I make progress.
When I first got the car...
How's it going. I picked up an RSX Type S Firepepper Red last weekend. The body has some dings, but no rust. Has 128k miles. Have drove this car 10 hours since i purchased it and it runs great so far. I do get a small idle surge once it warm, but only surges to about 1,200 rpms. Going to check...
So i bought a pretty clean giving the car was an 05 but got it for dirt cheap. Had some money saved up so decided to go ahead and do the interior/paint, wheels, and Mugen lip kit on the rsx. Bought it aug 20 and in a month the car is ready for paint. Just waiting on a non humid full day to paint...
UPDATE: Pics from the car in the salvage lot 11/14/2008 on page 11.
PICS OF ACCIDENT ON PAGE 10.
UPDATE: sadly, i crashed my car. my whole front end is smashed and all the CF is broken. not sure if it will be total'd, but if i can, i will do my best to bring it back to life. wish me luck? lol...
