It's a car people, settle down.

Gas prices caused the demise of my FJ. My fiance told me her sister was looking to sell her "slightly modified" RSX. I'll be picking it up from Vegas shortly.

Some pics she took for me:

foofighter · 01-05-2008, 04:47 PM

nice! is it a type R?

emfc · 01-05-2008, 04:52 PM

& when you have nothing better to do, it doubles as a jump ramp.

Collette · 01-05-2008, 04:54 PM

It's a regular RSX, but she liked the style of the R-Spoiler.

It's going to be different from my FJ, no more barreling over speed bumps.

foofighter · 01-05-2008, 04:55 PM

i totally understand i went from a 4x4 truck to a sedan and it does suck to have to slow for speed bumps. will you keep it as is? or will you be modding that as well?

mazer75 · 01-05-2008, 05:35 PM

Hey nice! I have a 2005 RSX-S, but it's totally stock. Great cars. Is it a 5-speed or the automatic? I love the 6-speed in my Type S!

I am thinking of selling mine though, because I want to buy a 4Runner or Tacoma, so I can carry more than 1 bike at a time.

northshore · 01-05-2008, 06:01 PM

I have yet to see a genuine RSX Type-R state side. USDM RSX Type S would be the highest one. Either way the K20 engines screams, "Redline the crap out of me!!" The biggest plus is the K20 engine responds nicely to bolt on mods. Nice! Bring it to the next AutoX or road race!

I'm going the opposite way... Family sedan to the new FJ Trail Teams edition. Perks of working for Toyota, but now I gotta suffer the gas costs...

Though the FJ will be better suited than the Camry or Prius for trail work, Mammoth, getting to the trails, etc etc. Had the Prius as a "support" vehicle one year for VQ at station #1...

rjcornelia · 01-05-2008, 06:36 PM

yay! for fellow RSX drivers

I'd love to ride from home to school and back, but that would mean putting my skinny a$$ on Malibu Canyon Rd. twice a day, and with all of the recent stories of roadies getting annihilated by cars, no thanks.

tkblazer · 01-05-2008, 09:30 PM

holy rice burner! not my style of car but its cool...

Foo, the Type R is not sold in the states but you can still make crazy power n/a on that car with little mods

Mudman · 01-05-2008, 09:35 PM

saves gas...

still rather take one of these though

good thing its not an R, if it was a type R and it was around Long Beach and parked for more then 16 mins it would have been stolen.

Cars are fun, but cost too much for all the shiny toys. At this point I'd rather have an old beat up truck than my IS300. Although I would miss the heated seats...

foofighter · 01-05-2008, 09:42 PM

man if i could add up all the shit i spent on the cars stuff i'd have some pimp ass bike(S). it's ok soon i'll get another truck or wagon and be done

Funny thing, I've seen that guy literally drive that exact car on the freeway after Toyotafest.

Theres two "Top Secret" supras I believe one is a left hand drive and the real one is playing around in Japan.
