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

TheMrFreeze JD Power's surveys mean nothing to me. We live in an age where we have unprecedented access to actual, relevant data, and by that I mean working mechanics who see all of these cars up close and are willing to share what's good and what's crap. The wife drives a Fiat 500...had I listened to JD Power or Consumer Reports or whatnot we never would have bought one, but more than one mechanic I talked to said they were pretty reliable cars. Bought one, guess what...it's been reliable.
Akear Mary Barra has little or no feel for the market. This is yet another reason why GM will perform better when she retires. Barra's track record at GM is about as good as Biden debate performance last week.
Peter Nissan should hire someone to explain basic economics to their Board of Directors.
Jeff China now has the manufacturing capacity to produce 1/3 of the World's vehicles but under the current geopolitical environment this will not happen. As someone above stated all bets are off if China invades Taiwan. What many don't understand is that China plans for the long term and can wait it out till the geopolitical environment becomes less hostile toward China. I am not endorsing Chinese trade just stating that China is preparing for the future.
3-On-The-Tree Im glad it was fixed in time that would’ve been a huge pain and inconvenience to you if it had broke. My 2009 C6 Corvette LS3 has been great with no recalls. My 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 actually had a recall for the gas tank and seat belt warning stickers about 10 years go and Toyota fixed it, got a new tank, fuel lines and stickers.
