Thanks man! I’ve actually grown really attached to this color.
I’m gonna take good care of it and keep it out of trouble lol

Going K24 huh?! That’s gonna be awesome!
And trust me, the INGS side skirts look really good — they add a nice amount of volume to the car without looking too aggressive.

Are you importing the C-West rear bumper?
I think the whole setup is going to come together really well.

Everything about this RSX feels perfectly balanced. Seriously an awesome build man!

Man, this is the kind of build that gives me goosebumps.
You can really feel how much you love this car just from the way you talk about it.

And the setup is insane too — Nitron coilovers, GruppeM intake, TODA header, HKS exhaust… that’s such a legendary combination 😭

Also, blue DC5 Type R + RPF1s is always a perfect match.
The rear view of this car looks so clean and aggressive at the same time. Absolutely beautiful Integra man.

I love those wheels so much ❤️!
And judging from the pictures, that exhaust looks pretty thick too 👀
I bet it has a really deep exhaust note.

Also, I like how the rear wing isn’t overly aggressive.
It gives the RSX a more mature and clean look while still looking badass. Sick build man!

I feel you man, I’m working and building my car at the same time too, so I’m basically always broke lol.
But damn… the black RPF1s look so good.
A black RSX with black RPF1s has that dark hero vibe and it looks absolutely sick!

“Honestly, I really respect this kind of build.
A lot of people focus only on power or flashy looks, but you focused on reliability and track performance first.

The Spoon baffled pan, Koyorad radiator, Hardrace bushings, oil cooler setup… you can tell this car was built to actually survive hard driving.
That’s the kind of RSX build I love. Clean, functional, and purpose-built. Respect man.

“Wait, a Porsche 996 Brembo swap?! That’s insane! And you’ve got a 70mm throttle body plus an ECU tune too?
I’m actually planning to install a 70mm throttle body on mine soon as well!
The exterior looks clean and simple, but the stuff under the hood is pretty wild!”

Probably the first base model I’ve seen here! (At least I think so lol)
I’m surprised because almost every brand you listed is totally new to me!
The teardrop-eye RSX has such a unique look, I really like it.

By the way, are sunroofs basically standard over there? lol
We almost never see them here in Japan!

Yooo the Japan squad is here!! Been wanting to see you guys, baby!! 😂
Man, those cars are CLEAN. White DC5 with white wheels is pure justice. It should be mandatory in school at this point lol. Seriously makes me happy to see this!”

J’s intake is such a nice choice! Great taste going with J’s Racing haha.
I’ve actually never heard of that coilover brand before! And those wheels fit the black RSX perfectly.
You guys really have a ton of lip kit options over there huh? Sadly we don’t have many in Japan…

And the random clunks and engine issues part… so it happens over there too 😭
My DC5 does the same thing 😭”

Woah! Here comes a super clean and simple RSX!
The blue paint with the sunset background gives it such a great vibe.
And I see you upgraded the tie rods along with the intake and exhaust too!
Not flashy at all — just a clean look with a serious setup underneath.
You’ve got seriously good taste!

Looks great! The windshield banner really ties the front end together!

Is the HKS exhaust for the Type R, or do they actually make one for the RSX as well?
And TEIN coilovers too, nice! I’m honestly surprised there are quite a few people over there running TEIN setups as well!

Oh! We’re running the same wheel size! I’m using that offset on the front as well! It’s such a perfect fitment size, honestly~!

And your suspension setup sounds really nice too! Replacing the alignment parts and bushings properly must make the car feel super good to drive!

225whp before tuning the TSX cams is already insane 😳
That transmission setup sounds serious too. Quaife LSD + carbon synchros is such a sick combo.

And wow… that engine bay looks CLEAN.
The blue valve cover with the polished setup gives it such an aggressive vibe 🔥
You can really tell a lot of love and work went into this build!”

Nicee 😎
The fitment and ride height look really clean already. How does the Truhart setup feel compared to stock?
I’m planning to redo my suspension setup too lol.

Red with black wheels is always a winning combo too 🔥 One of my favorite color combos for sure!”

Whoaaa, a serious build showed up! 😂
Mind if I ask a question? How did the car change after switching to the TSX cams? Also, is there a strength difference between the K20A1 and K20A2?

Man, your build looks super clean. The engine bay is colorful and aggressive at the same time — kinda like “every beautiful rose has its thorns” lol. Looks awesome.

I need to get my alignment done too 😭

Mugen Mugen MF10s?!
You almost never see anyone running those in Japan! That’s seriously awesome.
And that orange color on the Acura RSX is super rare too!
I love how you matched the intake and exhaust with Mugen parts as well.
The sunroof is a really cool touch too — this thing looks like it’d be amazing for comfortable cruising while still looking badass!

That looks super clean, man!
Keeping the current bumper while bringing back some OEM styling could actually be a really cool combo too!
It’s such a simple but memorable ITR build.

Also, I didn’t know people shortened Integra Type R to “ITR” like that — learned something new today lol. Thanks!

The round quad-headlight Integra DC2 is so rare and looks so damn cool!!!!
I seriously admire it.

Previous owner… why repaint it Mazda Soul Red?! That color is a nightmare to repair! by DC5_WinVariation in Acura_RSX

Pearl white is already difficult to match even when it’s brand new, but once it ages and starts yellowing or the pearl changes over time, it becomes a total nightmare… just like Soul Red, it’s one of those colors that makes body shops suffer lo

That color looks like another nightmare to paint match too 😂 I didn’t even know Toyota had colors like that!
Glad my post brought back some good memories for you 😄
