2005 Acura RSX A-Spec | Retro Review

I used to have an 02 type S. Loved that car. Gauges & interior were really nice compared to what was out back then.
Always loved these cars, got to spend a lot of time in an 02 Type S that a friend got when we were in high school in 2003.
I've been trying to get a white 05/06 Type S for years for a reasonable price & now I regret not pulling the trigger on the clean 100k mile ones that were $8k years back.
I did almost win an auction for an 01 DC5 JDM ITR Type S (same as US RSX) that's already in Canada and was going to store it until it was legal at a buddies in Quebec, just got too rich for my blood. But damn I'll never have the chance again sub $35k once they're legal...

Yeah all those cars get harder & harder to find. Mine was totaled at 16k miles by someone running a red light. Got me a 95 Mazda RX7 after that that I surely regret having to get rid of. But the one I wanted the most was a 99 Eclipse Gst/Gsx. Seen one on BAT a while back that went for a good price. But haven't seen a clean one since.
Hated this car simply because of this article and I owned a Neon … yes I’m biased lol

Them Neons had a lot of potential with that engine they had. If I remember correctly it was similar iron block to that of the GST eclipse. I used to have stacks & stacks of C & magazines along with Superstreet. Good old days
Hey I'd take an FD over a DC5 all day lol...but yeah the old DSMs were also the shit. I briefly had a GVR4 back in 2001, would love a clean one now but in reality I want a clean basic bolt on 1st gen AWS Talon TSi. Then again since I got my 911 I'm 100% out of space, so that's a problem haha.
Them GST Eclipse were dope AF. I had a 91 Talon and it was awesome! First Turbo car and never looked back..... This one still cracks me up how freaking fast it is! And its a stick shift lol....
Yeah I first seen this one in the Import vs Domestic event. It's stupid fast & stick shift. I don't think I'll ever have a chance to have one.
DSM's are the reason I turned into a gear head. Ive owed probably 7 of those stupid cars. Love them, hate them. I always look for clean GVR-4's... I plan to add one of those to the collection some day.
But subject car... That k20 will go down as one of the greatest 4 bangers of ALL time. Certainly the best 4 cylinder out there right now.

Yeah the K20 is a Honda gem. Still would take a 99 gsx over anything else from those times. But a K20 swap into a 95-99 Civic hatch back with AWD would be an awesome project car.
Seeing the prices of these cars from 20 years ago makes me realize maybe the new 30k civic Si I’ve been eyeballing isn’t so bad after all.
still got brand new k20a type r cams i never dropped into my k20a2 back in the day
Hang on to them, now you just need the rest of the car
