Grr

So I look at my windshield the other day and notice a little chip in the windshield. I'm going to call my windshield guy "Bob" and get him to fix er up for me this weekend. Hopefully he does it for cheap or even free. Also I am in need of another oil change soon. Man they come fast. Everything else is going great.

Back from Trip :)

Well just got back from a weekend trip with the girlfriend. Went to Moncton, NB. It was good. Car handled very well. Gas was very good. Overall the trip was around 600km total. No complaints. I'm looking at getting some tires for my new rims. I am currently looking on Kijiji.

New Rims

Well I got some new rims. They are 17'' ABA Rims. They are silver in colour. I bought them from a guy on Kijiji for $350 bucks. They are in pretty good shape other than the odd curb rash here and there. I cannot complain. I haven't put them on yet because I do not have tire yet. I love my rims and cannot wait to put them on :). I lied about the tire. Two of them got tire haha. :).

Out and about to take some pics

Last night I gave the car $20 bucks gas and went for a little drive. Found a good spot to take some pics during the day. Met up with Chris and we went to take some pics of the cars. I have an RSX and he has a Neon. The pics turned out alright. We were in Bedford near the waterfront. I like day pics more. Currently looking at RIMS on Kijiji.

Gonna be getting some gas today. My uncle hooked me up with a $50 gas card so I'm loving it.

MY REVIEW OF THE ACURA RSX BASE AUTO

==================================

Interior

=======

Pros:

• Very nice design
• Love the seats(Love having cloth over leather)
• Love how everything lights up Red

Cons:

• The stuff on the dashboard is hard to clean and has a different feel to it. Gathers alot of dust

Conclusion:

Overall I find the Interior is very nice and has a great setup. The bucket seats a very comfortable and cannot complain. I have the cloth and not the leather which is good because I don't stick to it and my back doesn't get all sweaty. Like I mentioned the material on the dash is a little different on the drivers side and gathers dust and is hard to clean off. I love the black interior over the Tan interior. I like how the stereo is angled towards the driver for better viewing.

Exterior

=======

Pros:

• Very sleek and nice.
• Stands out from other cars especially the rear.
• Two door, nice headlights, etc

Cons:

• Can't think of much wrong with the exterior.
• In my case it could of came with some Rims. All I got was the stock Hub Caps which truly suck.
• Base model black lip kit looking thing that they decided to put on...

Conclusion:

I find the exterior to be very nice. I prefer the 02-04 model over the 05-06 model. The headlights on the 02-04 models are much nicer in my opinion. I have my headlights blacked out which really add to the exterior. I also have no wing which I prefer. I'm not a fan of the black lip kit thing and will be taking it off or getting it painted soon.

Performance

==========

Pros:

• Very reliable car with a very reliable and dependable engine
• Got some good get up and go for being a base model Auto.
• 160HP
• DOHC

Cons:

• In my case would be the Auto Tranny. I should of gone Manual and hope to do a manual swap at some point.
• While 160HP is a big jump from my old neon that has around 125HP, its still not that much compared to other cars.

Conclusion:

For me its still a very fast and reliable car. I came from a Dodge Neon that had little to no power. The steering and suspension is leaps and bounds better. The steering is so stiff and it turns so well.

I have recently put a Short Ram Intake into my car. Took about 2 hours total. It makes a noticeable difference. This is just a regular Ebay cheap one to. I am going to put a different filter on it eventually. I paid about $60 bucks for that tops. Makes the car sound better, also gives me faster acceleration. Loving it. OH!! And I also have blackened out the Headlights of the car. That was very tricky but very fun. I enjoyed that alot. The finished product looks amazing. So far I have about 87,000 KM on the car and its running great :).

Future Ideas:

Convert to 5 Spd Manual

Exhaust that sounds nice and quiet. Not super super loud

Etc.

Update(July 13th 09)

So this is my first post about my car. On Jan 11th I bought a 2002 Acura RSX base Model Auto. The car has been amazing so far for me. Exactly a month later on Feb 13th, the car would not start.... Don't let this fool you though... It was because I got the wrong key cut for the car. I had to have it towed that night and it was not a good night to say the least. The next morning I went to the dealership and tried the car with my key and it worked fine. I was so happy :). A few months later again on the a Friday the 13th I was coming home from Walmart with my friend Chris Brodie when I realized there was a crack brewing up on the windshield. I was not impressed. A few phone calls later I got that repaired from "Windshield Bob" for a really decent price. I believe it was $300 bucks. over a $150 less than any other place. Turned out great. OH! I forgot to mention.. In March I bought a 10" Kicker CVR4 Sub from my sisters Boyfriend Brandon, I believe I paid $60 bucks for that. Or 80.... not sure. I bought a box from Futureshop for $100 bucks... A Deck,Wiring harness, and wires from WalMart, and an Amp from BestBuy. I immediatly paid top dollar to have that all put in the car from Futureshop. After all was said and done it ended up costing me around $700. It was an amazing investment and I love the sound of the Sub. I think sometimes Brandon wishes he never sold it to me so he could of put it in his Civic. Futureshop did an amazing job putting it in. I had the capaciter and the amp skrewed to the back of the chair. Amazing setup. I have had my oil changed once and had an undercoating done to it. The undercoating ended up costing around $110 bucks I believe. and the oil was around $60 with a gas cleaner. I will continue my story later after lunch.
