Jeff Evangelista: 2005 Acura RSX

The Acura RSX was one of Jeff Evangelista's dream cars growing up. The moment he purchased the 2005 Acura RSX in 2011, Evangelista knew that it was the start to his dream build and to finally make his dream come true. Evangelista loves the reactions and compliments on his on-going build, "that's where I get the motivation and excitement to keep the build moving forward and upwards."

FAVORITE MODIFICATION
Evangelista's favorite modification out of the many (favorite) parts he has installed is the suspension setup - all for the purpose of it being the main reason one feels "at one" with the whole entire vehicle. The control and feel he has makes his commute a pleasure and a blessing every drive he gets.
