The Acura RSX Type-S is an exceptional car with a difficult job – to fill the shoes of the respected Integra which it replaced in July 2001. Upon its release, after-market suppliers began the frantic development and production of parts and accessories to allow owners to customise their vehicles. Whilst modifications can increase both style and fun, this can often be at the expense of the manufacturer’s warranty, as well as mechanical reliability.
Having realised that 40% of their RSX sales were for the Type-S, Acura took the decision, in 2002, to introduce their own range of factory-fitted performance modifications. Following the example set by Honda, the idea was to offer owners the chance to take the performance of their Type-S to the next level without encountering the pitfalls outlined above. In 2004, Acura introduced the name ‘A-Spec’ to signify its performance upgrade package, helping to feed enthusiasts’ demand for top class sporting machines.
