Today we bring you a 2006 Acura RSX Type S that's been heavily modified.

So heavily modified that I don't have space to list them all -- but I can tell you there's a supercharger under hood.

The mileage is over 172,000 and the price is $14,500 or best offer.

Surf on over to the listing to see the novel-length post to see all the various mods made to this Pennsylvania-based car.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Great car before it was heavily modded! No one is going to buy it for that much money with that many miles at that age in this economy full of layoffs happening! His mods are great but always depreciates a car knowing the fact that takes away from the life duration of that vehicle vs what it was stock! He’s better off keeping it or selling it at a much lower cost! 🥱

Im Sure this has been discussed here but this Integra follow up’s big problem was it’s lack of rear trailing links resulting in excessive negative camber and a switch to front MacPhersons which some do better than others.

my friends girlfriend had the UK built Civic Si hatch of this generation civic and we used to drive the hell out of it around town

Zerofoo @VoGhost - The earth is in a 12,000 year long warming cycle. Before that most of North America was covered by a glacier 2 miles thick in some places. Where did that glacier go? Industrial CO2 emissions didn't cause the melt. Climate change frauds have done a masterful job correlating .04% of our atmosphere with a 12,000 year warming trend and then blaming human industrial activity for something that long predates those human activities. Human caused climate change is a lie.
Probert They already have hybrids, but these won't ever be them as they are built on the modular E-GMP skateboard.
Justin You guys still looking for that sportbak? I just saw one on the Facebook marketplace in Arizona
28-Cars-Later I cannot remember what happens now, but there are whiteblocks in this period which develop a "tick" like sound which indicates they are toast (maybe head gasket?). Ten or so years ago I looked at an '03 or '04 S60 (I forget why) and I brought my Volvo indy along to tell me if it was worth my time - it ticked and that's when I learned this. This XC90 is probably worth about $300 as it sits, not kidding, and it will cost you conservatively $2500 for an engine swap (all the ones I see on car-part.com have north of 130K miles starting at $1,100 and that's not including freight to a shop, shop labor, other internals to do such as timing belt while engine out etc).
