Here I am to introduce to you a new member of the family.
My 2005 Magnesium Metallic Acura RSX Type-S!
She has 103,000km's on her and is in pretty good condition.
During the course of ownership, I will update the thread to show my progress throughout the build and progression as my Type-S transforms from stock to ROCKET.
In the meantime......Here are some pics when i picked her up....
2/28/17 - Buying replacement parts continues......
In the mail.. New Fuel pump access cover to replace my rusty ass one.
Like new.. Rear engine mount and T bracket to replace my suspect tampered mount and rusty bracket..
Nice work, Keep it up! I'm on the same boat. Trying to remove rust & replacing rusted parts myself. Just picked up an 06 Type-S with Aspec with 49k miles about a month ago.
yes definitely! When it use to rain, you could hear all the water underneath the rear of the car, even under the wheels wells. Now, it's been reduced...I'ts a "must do"
Yeah I know im tackling each area as best i can, replace or repair.
I know , I hate that SRI, the tubing diameter is so tiny. i want to make my own cold air .
Guys, I advise you to lift up your trunk hatch area weather stripping and inspect if you have rust underneath. I found a few spots around, took care of it. Grinding it down to the metal. As you can see, all the rust was spread around and trapped under the weatherstrip.
damn, nice catching some rust before it becomes worse!
I recommend checking underneath the car behind the driver and passenger seat where there is a rubber strip to channel air under the car. That seems to be a trouble spot for cars that have had any road salt exposure.
I wanted it because , it's the most stock sounding exhaust out there, i didn't want anything raspy. based on all videos i found on youtube, this is the most subtle, but deep when need be note to it..
