Project DC5

Hello,

So I figured I'd document my progress on modifying my RSX Type-S and some other stuff like up-keeping it.  The goal is to make a reasonable street car with a decent amount of power and looks while still retaining driveability.

My mainly stock Type-S

Currently, I'm only rocking a couple of mods as I'm still in college and paying for all of this on my own thanks to Drexel University's well endowed engineering program which includes fully-paid co-op positions and a rigorous curriculum.

The mod list, as-is, goes like this:

• A'PEXi GT Spec Catback Exhaust System

Note the husky exhaust tip.

• Custom-painted with color match Duplicolor rattle can paint AEM Short Ram Intake (nothing special)

Note the color matched to the valve cover and intake manifold cover.

• DC Sports Shorty Headers

Painted flat black with barbecue paint, the aftermarket header is on the right and the Type-S header is on the left.

• Stage 2 Clutch and Pressure Plate Kit from ACT Clutch along with ProLite Flywheel

Thanks to N-Spire Performance

• 55W HID's from DDM Tuning with HID ballast and 6000K (?) bulbs

I'll be keeping you guys updated as the project goes along.  But for now, I'll just tease you with some photos...

All new bumper and fender clips along with replacing the fender liners which fell off on one of my 60 mile commutes to work.  >.<
