Mrdibbs19's 2006 Acura RSX-S - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

MrDibbs19 · 07-27-2007, 11:45 PM

So... I have been thinking about making one of these member journals for a long time and now have the time to put one together... So here it goes I started driving on a 2001 Honda Civic EX Auto [that b!tch was slow] did a injen short ram intake and a pioneer head unit to it... my sister came back from college and took her car back and I needed a car. Since middle school I had wanted an ITR DC2. Then they stopped making them and fell in love with the DC5 RSX-S... researched them since 2002... and December 19, 2005 I finally got her! So here are some pictures of her stock (don't have many)
28 miles when i picked her up and 35 when i got home!

Ok so on to some more of my story... I worked at Doylestown Sunoco and met my boy Jay (s14drftstn) who helped me figure out what parts i wanted, what my goals were, help me install the parts, watch me race by the gas station haha... anyways about like 700 miles into owning the car I started modding...

MrDibbs19 · 07-27-2007, 11:54 PM

I modded as much as i could on my budget as a high schooler and a college student and currently this is what i have done in order...
Fujitsubo Power Getter Exhaust
Comptech Short Shifter
TWM Performance Aluminum Shifter Housing Bushings
Injen Cold Air Intake (CRSX Edition)
Team Voodoo Shift Knob
Greystone 20% Tint All Around (Thanks To Good Vibrations)
DC Sports Stainless Steel Race Header
Energy Suspension Motor Mounts
Buddy Club Radiator Cap
Plans are now to start working on the suspension
Here are more pictures
Thanks to ResistM3 for taking these pictures

Pretty nice
I used to rock a BOM for a little bit

Just not my style of car

MrDibbs19 · 07-28-2007, 01:51 PM

^BOM = awesome color... you really like orange cars huh haha as for you're style of car, you were probably looking for more power out the box huh?

Chris_PA · 07-28-2007, 01:58 PM

Well I came from a 300whp Blue SRT....soooooo

Calvinball · 07-28-2007, 10:35 PM

could've gotten much faster cars out the box..

MrDibbs19 · 07-31-2007, 05:58 PM

those cars turn into beasts with little mods. i hear that a civic si intake manifold makes a big difference too. there is a guy that hangs out in west chester every now and again who did full exhaust, civic si intake manifold, CAI, and a reflash and he went 13.3

slc14 · 08-01-2007, 12:37 AM

nice lookin rsx man, always liked ssm

ever on club rsx?

civic si IM as in the k20z3? i think they are the same... it's the RBC intake manifolds that make power... 13.3 is great though, i'm guessing he also did tires

unsure of tires, but he has white stock rsx wheels. we asked what his mods were and he said a civic si intake manifold. i think i read something somewhere that said it makes a bit of diffence....but i'm no honda guy, so i don't really know

MrDibbs19 · 08-02-2007, 07:09 AM

^ i see...

MrDibbs19 · 08-14-2007, 11:02 AM

so here is the update... it's is nearing the time for me to go back to school... modding season for me is over, i plan on purchasing parts here and there and putting them on in the spring. hopefully mods to come will Progress 24mm adjustable rear sway bar, Buddy Club N+ Coilovers, Mugen Replica front strut bar, JR supercharger, and a K-pro and tune... the order of the mods i don't know but i'm leaning towards suspension... oh and i saw Buster's Tein hood dampers and i will prob have to get a set now haha

IntegrasAreBest · 08-14-2007, 10:13 PM

fwd isn't that bad... as for body kits and wings i'm not a fan, the mugen is played out and everything if anything i'll get a mugen lip thats all the exterior work i will do.

Calvinball · 08-16-2007, 10:54 PM

MrDibbs' car sounds great with the intake/exhaust work he's done, i can attest!

now that I finally saw it in person, took me long enough!
