Oct 2012:

Fully stock! Car only came with the interior trim from previous owner.
- Pick up some parts during the winter of 2012.

A spec OEM High Wing Spoiler


A spec OEM Rear Lip


Mugen Front Lip. REP ;( couldn't justify at the time buying something that was gonna get beat up



Most of us in Canada store our cars over winter just because we get up to 30CM of snow here in Alberta and it goes as cold as -40C with the windchill! Also they put tons of rocks and salt on the roads during winter.....


2013:

First mod - Blox Shift Knob. Shitty Instagram picture! opps!



Of course i had to grab JDM Honda badges



Installed Mugen front lip.





Installed A spec spoiler with the mini deck lid.


Changed out the old gross tail light gaskets and installed the rear lip with a friend



Installed the Rear A-spec






SRI is in!


Really wanted to go with the Type R look, and i was lucky enough to find a set for dirt cheap local


Installing the Ichiba v2 25mm spacers to go with the wheels, other wise they would be a sunken battleship. LOL

- Finally received my Tein Basis and SPC front and rear camber kit











-Quick photoshoot done by my friend Lawrence Tse! This pretty much wrapped up everything for 2013.

2015

Seeker shift knob


Status CF seats

I really did love my Recaros but my friend was letting these for stupid cheap, so i couldnt have said no! Also he gave me 2 Status harnesses as well but still waiting on a cage until I install them

Quick test fit of the new wheels and they would not clear with the camber I currently had. Adjust the rears a tad bit more at this height just so I could run the wheels for now until I got an alignment. Eventually raised the rears pull in more camber for track day.


Picked up a few things - J's front strurt tower bar, J's C pillar, and some Spoon socks.


J's Rear strut tower bar


Track Day prep - Hawks Hps pads and new brake fluid, and an alignment! Also got a JDM Honda access OEM rain visors from gf!


Unfortunately, the only track in my city was closed down about 2 years ago. A bunch of us made the 3hour trek to Castrol Raceway in Leduc, Alberta. We left at 5am..... never again going that early LOL. Also this was my first track experience and the track bug has got me now haha

Stopping for some gas


Time for some racing magnet numbers for next yea haha




On track pictures!!!




Authentic Amuse s2000. Boosted, nascar cage, the list goes on!


Authentic Spoon s2000


Friends s2000 on Regas


Friends RSX on Regas and J's wing


Friends EG k20 SC with ce28 and dat voltex wing doe


Friends EM1 with B18 swap on TE


That pretty wraps it up for 2015! Over winter still need to get a few more parts for track day next year. Kpro, Rcomps, Cage. Eventually I would like to SC and go a bit more aggressive looking. *wink* *wink* J's racing aero?

What Type R bits do you get that the Type S doesnt? From memory, the Type S is every bit the type r, except for the recaros/sunroof/lsd/steering wheel/wheels/rear wing/k20a2/k20z1

Opps my mis understanding. You are correct! I know that the Type S in Japan in considered the base and i believe its a 5 speed as well.

Ahh, i thought maybe the Canada might get a hybrid and could be better than the Yank!

Welcome Brandon! Thanks for sharing your build all the way from Canada. Real nice looking DC5, really like the JDM DC5 wheels on it and what you've done to it.

I see that you have an on the track photo . What track do you most frequent?

[butter]

One of the best lines of a DC5 is that right there!

I love the amount of effort you RSX guys put into making it more JDM.

Nice car man and great to see it out on track. Those s2000s and the other dc5 look sick!

Sucks about you guys and the winter. We're lucky here in aus regarding that.

Also I just had two friends move to Alberta for snow season haha
