Acura RSX with MOMO Atlantis Seats
The Honda Integra DC5 is a Japanese vehicle, which was also known as the Acura RSX in North America and Hong Kong. It is available in base and "Type-S" trim levels in North America, and an "Integra iS / Integra Type S" and "Type R" version sold in Japan and Oceania. However, the "Type R" sold in Oceania is very similar to the "Type-S" sold in North America, and the Integra line naming in Oceania has recently been realigned to be similar with North American conventions.
The base RSX has the K20A3 motor with an output of 160 hp and is offered with either an automatic or a five-speed manual transmission; the Type-S has a 200 hp (2002-2004) K20A2 or 210 hp in 2005 K20Z1 motor and a short-throw 6-speed manual transmission. For the 2006 model year vehicles Honda switched to the Rev 8/04 SAE standards for measuring hp. The base RSX for 2006 was rated at 155 hp and the Type-S was rated at 201 hp. In 2005 the RSX Type-S received camshafts, b-pipe and muffler, 4.77 final drive ratios, crankshaft pulley and the intake snorkel duct from the Japanese model Honda Integra Type-R. The rev-limit was also increased from 8100 rpm to 8300 rpm. Another major change made to the inline VTEC-i engine was the use of a timing chain rather than a timing belt, which reduced maintenance needs.
If you are truly looking to style up your RSX, then good custom seats are a logical upgrade. There are many aftermarket companies out there that produce quality bucket racing seats for either road or track use. Prices can vary from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars for top of the line seats depending on your taste and the size of your bankroll.
Beside the bling effect of having some sweet looking Atlantis racing seats in your vehicle there are some performance benefits. Because racings seats are made out of lighter materials than your factory seats they reduce the overall weight of your vehicle which is always a positive for tuning.
Atlantis Racing Seats are universal for all vehicles; however, all Atlantis seats will need to latch to a seats rail, which is car specific. Make sure there is a rail available for your vehicle, or otherwise you can customize your stock one to fit your Atlantis aftermarket seats.
MOMO Seats, the maker of the popular Atlantis seats is one of the heavy hitters in the aftermarket seats industry. Many others try to match the quality of craftsmanship of the Atlantis seats but few succeed.
