    Draw7Seven's 05 MR DC5-S

    Hi all. I've been around here for a while. Started back in 06 with an 02 K20A2'd EP3. That car was basically destroyed by a deer and a lack of insurance coverage (times were tough), and I moved on to a 2012 BMW 128i and got sick of the payments so then bought a 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon which was loads of fun but not such a great commuter. So now I'm back in a Honda... specifically a Milano Red 2005 Acura RSX Type S! I've wanted one of these since I first got my EP, so I'm glad to finally have one. And it only has 45k miles on it!

    The day after it arrived (shipped from Nebraska) I washed and waxed it and took some cell phone pics. Rich OEM goodness!




    Sweet ground clearance, huh?







    Since then I've had the windows tinted at 20% and installed a Pioneer DEH-80PRS headunit. And now I'm out of money! Since I live off of student loans it could be a while, but my future plans would be:
    -HID Retrofit
    -A-Spec front
    -Moderate and dependable daily drive-able drop (Tein Basis?)
    -Shifter mods to help the sponginess

    More updates to come! I might go snap some pics of the tint and the radio now.

    Thanks for viewing, comments are welcomed!

    I love this generation of the dc5 I would have rather picked one of these up instead of the ep but mine is paid for now and I have too much of a history with her.

    Yeah I learned that about "showoff" threads today, so I'll just keep the thread here. But yes I am "on" CRSX, although it's so busy compared to this place I'm having a tough time keeping up.

    Well a bunch of people posted saying "clean car but this will get deleted" so I read the rules and decided to just edit the post and say "please delete, sorry." So it might not be deleted but I edited it to prevent from pissing off a mod.

    Hey what didja pay for it? I keep looking for a 2nd car, and found what I thought to be a clean EM1 with 50k on it (in blue). Then the truth comes out that it was repainted, and I checked the guys ebay account, and I see he bought a bunch of used parts ect. ect...


    So ANYWAYS, I am back on the hunt for either a 97 del sol vtec (160hp motor) or a 2000 em1 (milano red is my 1st choice). I would also buy a low mileage, mint A-Spec if one still exists... so hard to find un-modded hondas that are low miles.

    Anyways, good car, nice color, and looks clean.

    I paid 13,500, which is maybe a little high but the CarFax was mint and the car is gorgeous and at the end of the day you just want to quit shopping and have something. I feel good about the price regardless.

    Yeah it clearly wasn't a primary car for anybody with high-mileage habits. It's exactly what I wanted as far as low mileage and stock condition.
