Well, my name is Ryan, and I'm from Fargo. Drive a 02 Acura RSX Type-S, with JDM conversion. Plan on finishing the conversion and a few other custom things, hopefully a comptech supercharger within a year.
Plates are ND-Ry Ry

As far as I know, the previous owner ordered straight from honda of japan the wing, shift knob, steering wheel, lip kit, emblems, and door sill. He had a red top on it, but removed it prior to trading it in. Will have a new one eventually.
BTW, the pictures are from when I first got the car, it is a lot cleaner now.

BTW, i forgot to list that the headlights are JDM. anyways, for all those lamines out there that done know about hondas, Acura doesn't exist in Japan. This car in Japan is called the Honda Integra Type-R, Over here it is called the Acura RSX Type-S. Hence the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) conversion of installing factory parts that come standard from over there. Now, I dont have the Type-R badge for the rear, nore the Type-R floormats and seats. And when we refer to a "Red Top", that is a Red Valve cover that is standard for most Japanese cars, i believe. There is very few things left to finish the conversion, along with what is listed, i need to obtain the aluminum lower control arms, and the black oil dip stick too. As of the suspension, ill leave it the way it is since it is better than the factory parts, along with the brakes even though the Japanese version came with Brembos.

You've got a nice car there. I really like it. -

Daly, Please inform us that don't know, what is the point of converting, are the parts Higher performace? Is it Just for looks? I know if you convert a '66 hardtop into a GT it is still a conversion and the vin will show such, therefore not bringing GT price for the vehicle. Just curious.

Ok, the point of doing a JDM conversion is almost like any others....except it has an excoticness to it. Just to get an actual JDM Integra over here may run upwards of $35-50K, therefore making it harder to actually get on here since you have to replace some other parts with legal ones to make it meet US safety specs. As far as I know, there is only 1 actual JDM Integra in the US and it is in Cali. So doing this conver is similar to doing a base to a GT, except costs a shit load more and is more exotic. As for the performance aspect, yes, some things are a higher performing "enhancer". As for this car, the stock brembo brakes, sportier suspension, higher performing engine (as far as i know, just an even higher compression), and some parts that are lighter in weight like the aluminum lower control arms up front.
