I have my 2002 Acura RSX Type-S for sale. 200hp, 6 speed. I bought this car 5 years ago and have turned it into a track car. It has 164,000 miles and has been well taken care of. The car is clean. With the exception of small dents and scratches from track use. There is no rust on the car. It looks as though it has never seen winter, the underside of the car is spotless. The years that I have owned it, it has not seen winter and only a few rainy days. The car is in excellent running condition. There are the typical nicks, scratches and minor dings from it being a 2002. It's not a show car, but it's a fast reliable track car. The front air bags and seat belts are still installed in the car so it's still street legal and safe. 

The car is a track car and has seen tracks like New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Watkins Glen, Nelson Ledges and numerous autocrosses. It has been modified with the following upgrades, most of which are for safety purposes and for weight reduction:

1) Custom exhaust from cat back using a Vibrant muffler. Probably one of the better sounding mufflers out there in my opinion.
2) Fujita cold air intake. 
3) A/C removed for weight savings
4) Race (80A) engine mounts
5) Transmission has been rebuilt with new 2nd and 3rd gear sets. There are no grinds and shifts perfectly
6) Wavetrac LSD (new in July 2012)
7) Aluminum shifter bushings
8) Corbeau FX1 and FX1 Pro racing seats
9) OMP seat brackets
10) G-Force 5 point harness (out of date for next year)
11) Autopower roll bar with additional harness bar
12) Gutted interior from the front seats back
13) Sunroof removed and carbon fiber panel installed
14) Buddy Club Racing roll center adjusters
15) BC Racing Type-BR coilovers 10kg front 12kg rear), new front shock. This have been modified to provide additional front negative camber.
16) Eibach rear sway bar ans bushings
17) Energy suspension bushing throughout the car
18) Braided steel brake lines
19) Carbotech XP12 front pads and XP8 rear pads. These are ok for the street but are intended for the track. 
20) Stock 16" wheels with worn Hankook R-S3s (tires will need to be replaced)
21) A set of barely used A048 track tires for use on the 16" rims

EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED IN THE SALE PRICE INCLUDING SPARE PARTS.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but that gives you an idea of what the car is. This car would make a great SCCA or NASA car as well as a track car with local car clubs. 

The car does have a rebuilt title due to front end damage. I bought it with a rebuilt title and have not had issues with it. The damage was to the driver front corner. The dealer I bought the car from replaced the subframe and the lower control arm on the driver side. I have had not issues with respect to the accident. I have had this car up to 120 mph on the track and the car drives very straight with no clunking and any other weird noises. 

The car is set up very well and can be fast. I have passed Corvettes, Porsche 911s, M3s, WRXs and Sti at the track. The engine has been kept stock for reliability purposes. I have never had a problem with the engine and it runs strong and runs clean. Oil has been changed multiple times a season with Amsoil oil. The same has been done with the transmission.

I have the title and emissions certificate in hand, ready to sell. 

It has been a lot of fun and I really hate to see it go, but it's time to move onto something different. Please let me know if you have any questions. The car has been put away for the winter but is still road legal.

530,000 Hondas, Acuras under expanded NHTSA investigation for steering problem

Mon, Dec 4 2023

Earlier this year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into the 2022 and 2023 Honda Civic. The agency had received 145 complaints from owners stating that the car suddenly exhibited “sticky steering” and increased steering effort. WeÂ’re now learning that the investigation is expanding to include hundreds of thousands more cars. The original probe included around 238,000 Civics, but the NHTSAÂ’s latest report, issued Friday, noted that the investigation is expanding to include more than 530,000 Hondas and Acura vehicles. The 2022 and 2023 Honda Civic, 2023 Honda CR-V, and 2023 Acura Integra are affected. A drastic increase in complaints drove the expansion, as the NHTSA said it had received 1,300 reports and was aware of at least 14 crashes related to the problem. An alarming 11 of those crashes involved a roadway departure due to loss of steering control. Two of them came after the driver allegedly overcorrected, and there are three known injuries from the crashes. NHTSAÂ’s report found that the problem happened primarily in the winter months and after the car had been driven in a straight line for an extended period to warm up the vehicle and gear. Though alarming, itÂ’s worth noting that this investigation has not yet reached the recall stage. Honda acknowledged the problem, noting that it was a manufacturing issue for the steering gear unit. The manufacturing process created conditions that could cause greater internal stress, which can wear and deform the gears inside the steering component. The NHTSA also found that the factory did not guarantee consistent lubrication throughout the gear, which could be the cause of the temporary increase in steering effort. The automaker directed its dealers to replace the electronic power steering gearbox to correct a manufacturing defect, but NHTSA will continue its process, moving to an engineering analysis. If that study finds a defect, it could request a recall. Government/Legal Acura Honda Safety

Honda debuts NSX Concept-GT hybrid racer

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Not to be outdone by Lexus and its new LF-CC racecar, Honda is also bringing a little more excitement to the Japanese Super GT racing series with its NSX Concept-GT. Yes, just like the original NSX, this racecar will wear the Honda badge in its home market when it replaces the current offering in that series, the non-production HSV-010 GT, which itself replaced the NSX in the series back in 2010.
Looking exactly how we'd imagine a race-prepped 2015 Acura NSX to look, this racer is mean and sexy at the same time, and it will be powered by a racing hybrid system with a turbocharged four-cylinder mounted behind the driver. No word on power output, but it will compete in the GT500 class, which restricts power output to 500 horsepower. Unlike the Lexus racecar, the Honda NSX Concept-GT will being competing this season starting with this weekend's race at the Suzuka Circuit before running the full 10-race 2014 season. Scroll down for the short press release.

There was once a Honda Civic named the Honda Integra

Wed, Jun 16 2021

So it turns out there was a Honda Integra that was actually a Honda Civic. This as opposed to the Honda Integra we already knew about that was just like our Acura Integra but with Honda badges sold in different markets. We noticed the oddity while crawling about used car listings (as one is wont to do). A sedan popped up that looked suspiciously like a mid-90s Honda Civic, but there was a shiny Integra badge on the back of it. Surely, this must be somebody’s idea of being funny, right? Wrong. The Honda Integra SJ exists, and itÂ’s essentially a rebadged Honda Civic Ferio. Or "Civic Sedan" as we knew it here. In other words, that means Honda sold two Honda Integras at the same time. One of them was the Integra that we all think of upon hearing the Integra name. The other was just a Civic Ferio that was half-prettied up to increase its appeal. After all, the Integra name was luxury. Maybe you already knew all of this, but the lack of definitive information online and presence of this car for sale prompted us to do a little research. In case you were wondering, SJ stands for Sedan Joyful, so this carÂ’s full name is the Honda Integra Sedan Joyful. It was sold as such from 1996-2001 in Japan. Its mini Wikipedia entry indicates that Honda created the SJ to bring a formal sedan to the Integra range. ThatÂ’s a bit weird, though, as there was literally an Integra four-sedan at the time. You could even get it as the hot GS-R version in the United States. Japanese buyers were even luckier, as Honda offered a sedan version of the Integra Type R there. Since the Integra SJ was a rebadged Civic Ferio, it came with the same equipment and engine. The 1.5-liter D15B four-cylinder engine was being used in the Ferio at this time, so thatÂ’s what the Integra SJ was rocking. ItÂ’s one of HondaÂ’s SOHC VTEC offerings, and it made a very respectable 128 horsepower. The D15B wasnÂ’t as potent as an engine like the B16A2 found in the 1999-2000 Honda Civic Si sold here that put out 160 horses, but it was also down one camshaft. Only the intake valves are affected by the cam here, which results in less power than the DOHC VTEC engines. All that said, the engine still revved to 7,200 rpm, and its power is respectable for the size of car.  ThereÂ’s a third name for the Civic Ferio/Integra SJ, as well. If you go to Thailand, you may come across the Isuzu Vertex, which is yet another rebadged Civic Ferio.
