Ordered the hondata IMG and a Fujita Short ram, not going cold air, just can't handle the rain worries.
If all goes to plan, I will also save up for the A-Spec suspension, Hondata Reflash #4, and possibly a Type-R wing. With the reflash, img and intake, it should put down around 190-195 to the wheels...
If we keep the car long enough, I'll probably raise the compression and add Type-R cams as well, then reflash for that... that would put the car at 220hp to the wheels... plenty for a FWD car. That freakin K20A2 is just so easy to get power out of... lol

Wow that'd be sweet. I'd say don't get the Type-R wing and save up the money for the Type-R cams!! That'd be one sweet DC5!!

What year DC5 is it? I think that the newest DC5 Type Ss need absolutely no body work. Stock they look awesome IMO. I actually think that some of the DC5s I've seen that are modded look worse than stock.

its an 02, first year of the RSX. Yes I agree with you, the 05 and 06 redesign needs nothing done to the body, its pretty flawless... it would be awesome to swap bumpers and lights to the 05, but that would be really expensive because our 02 is in a color that the 05 and 06 did not come in, so it would require a repaint of both bumpers + blending....

Hey Doug,
Was that you I saw today? I spotted a new Suzuka blue with no plates heading south on 39th near Glisan. It was looking good!
I was in my wife's Jetta or I would have waved.

That was not me. But, funny, the dealer said that I was the only 06 Suzuka sold in the last couple of months. Honda hasn't been able to get many to the PDX area, so says him.
I don't usually make it to the eastside, and when I do it is in the SE, closer to Gresham and also occasionally to the Fairview/Troutdale area for beers with a friend at Edgefield.
To be honest, the only S2 I have seen since joining the group has been John's two tone one. You know the 'Red topped' black one. Actually it did look good.
Doug
