Title: I\'m back.... and In style ;)
Post by: MPTheory on May 03, 2004, 01:10:08 PM: Well.
I haven\'t posted here in quite awhile now. I\'ve had one hell of a semester in school. 5 very demanding classes. Not fun! Anyways, Im taking finals now, so this means that the semester is over! YAY!!! i decided to celebrate early by purchasing a new vehicle :) I just got a 2004 Acura RSX. Love the car, ecspecially considering that I upgraded from a 1998 Nissan Frontier. So how many of you silly bastards missed me? eh??? ;)

Umm, I didnt have $29000 to spend, so I went with the "base" model....The insurance was way cheaper, and I dont HAVE to use the top premium fuel in the regular RSX. The type S needs premium all the time.

The Type-S A-spec was damn nice though.

Good to be back guys.

Post by: Coredweller on May 06, 2004, 06:35:58 AM: Actually invoice for the RSX-S is $21,261, destination charge is $545, tax in my crazy 8.25% county would be $1,968, registration in my state is around $357, and a generous dealer profit of 5% would be $1,090. Therefore the total would be around $25,221, but probably less in your state.

Did you get the 5 speed transmission, or the AT? What color? There\'s no doubt I love that car, and I was considering buying one a couple years ago.

Hondata offers a reflash ECU for the base RSX that adds a bit of power. The improvements are not as dramatic as with the type S engine, but it looks worthwhile. :)

I just noticed, one of the coolest things about it is that it raises the rev limiter to 7,300 rpms! :)

Post by: MPTheory on May 06, 2004, 09:22:29 AM: I got the manual 5 speed. I dont like driving automatic. I dont feel like I have enough control over my vehicle... Today I was driving an automatic vehicle and I kept reaching for the stick shift.

BTW: Thanks for the link Cord. I dont think Ill be getting the reflash any time soon, But it looks like getting Cold air Intake would be worth my while. Im not really looking to make my car any faster than it already is. I\'m more interested in the way it looks. (having a fast car never hurts though) :)
