I have a base 2002 Acura RSX automatic she has 210k miles trying to fix up cosmetic issues and some faded paint before I do any major changes, thanks for the video man :)
The only thing I would critique is that fully adjustable coilovers are more of a track set up as opposed to lowering springs and adjustable shocks and struts. Just my opinion though! Great video other wise
I recently got a injen cai for $75 and when vtec hits its insane. So far all the mods I have is the intake but there’s more to come, always. Great video btw!
Dude a CAI is a fun mod haha makes gives it a good rumble and that vtec crossover sounds amazing! Injen is a great brand. Thanks, really appreciate it!
my man. awesome work bro. bought an integra type-s (jdm, i’m from new zealand haha) about a month ago and pretty keen to start modifying after watching your videos. 💪🏽
I got a 2002 RSX-S with I/H/E plus KproV4 with an E-tune. I got an RBC ready to be be cut, 72mmTB, Ktuned fuel rail, RDX 410 injectors! I can't wait! But yes motor mounts I will need for sure! Thanks for that suggestion!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback haha, the goal of the video was to point out mods that most people overlook that affect performance more than just everyone's idea of basic bolt ons like cai, headers, exhaust. Have fun with your type s!
Good quality video man. Seems like you have had some good growth since making this video. I have an 02 RSX Type-S A-Spec and I really enjoy driving mine. Keep up the great work man!
Thanks! Really appreciate it. Rsx's are such great cars haha, happy to hear from other people that have rsx's like you and enjoy them as much as I do lol.
Had an 02 rsx-s back in 2006, just saw a red rsx driving through richmond hit vtec and had to reminice a little more, found this video. How wild would it be if that was you? Is your acura emblem and brake calipers yellow now?
Do you think you could possibly make a video about things to look out for or consider when looking to buy a 05-06 rsx type s? I’m currently looking to pick one up and would like to know some precautions before buying.
Buy a fuel rail for your RSX, maybe a k-tuned fuel rail. You don't really need it if your under 350 or 400hp, but it would look really nice under your hood.
Thanks for the advice man, ill look into that. I have some big visual mods on the way haha, after that and the new paint coat is set up I'll probably get a fuel rail and other stuff to clean up the engine bay.
I would definitely agree with these first 5 mods! A good suspension and tire setup helps the handling a lot. Then I would do an intake, Kpro/ktuner, RBC and then header and exhaust (in that order). This really helps the K20 breathe and make some good power. Subscribed! What is your batter setup? I noticed it was an Odyssey battery. Which one and how do you have it mounted? I have been looking at getting a smaller race battery for the track and also to free up some room in the engine bay.
Thanks! Yeah a good intake/rbc/and exhaust go a long way. I didn't mention those cuz i wanted to point out mods people don't always mention/think about haha.
So its an Odyssey PC680, mounted to the frame with a bracket specifically made for that battery. I've been running it for like 3 years lol and kinda dying now so I am going to get a new one soon.
It frees up a lot of room lol, I use to run a bigger and actual full cold air intake so that's why I did the battery relocate. Just running a short ram intake because I'm scared of hydrolocking the motor haha
So actually the previous owner installed it, I'll get back to you on it though. I don't daily my rsx lol so next time I drive it I'll take a look. Thanks, really appreciate it!
Hey man clean DC5 I have one just like it in red, I’m in the market for some motor mounts, did a little research and 60a is definitely the best bet for me, you mind sharing the link where you got yours? It’s not in the description
Thanks haha nice color! Sorry lol definitely meant to put that in the description. This isn't the where I got them from (I forgot where) but here's a link to the same ones: www.rsxstore.com/product.php?productid=3658
Hello, Do you have a set up in Columbus, Ohio if Not I would like to know if I can somehow come to you I would like to get my car set up engine wise and then maybe later on the body I have a RSX ,2005 . I was not too happy at 1st but I got some People who would like to buy the car from me So I decide to go on TH-cam and see what this car is really about I am impressed with your video looking for one person who can pretty much get my car together and know what they doing like yourself Today is Tuesday may 19 2020, Other than that keep up with the good job that you're doing you're reaching out to a lot of people who is looking for answers like myself and I will continue to look at your videos maybe I can find somebody in Columbus, Ohio and let them see the video so that way dear know exactly what I'd need for the car
Sorry I'm in VA. I would definitely hold on to the car though, try going to forums to see who's a good mechanic or shop in your area that could help you out. What I would do is when car meets open up again, ask people around at your local cars and coffee and I'm sure they can point you in the right direction.
i just came into the car scene recently and found this video a bit confusing can anyone explain what a ecu does and what bolt on means also don't know what he was talking about the clutch also nice vid lol
ECU is essentially the engine’s computer, helps tell the car what to do. Like how high it can rev for an example. Bolt ons are parts you can just bolt on and go with no need to pull the motor. Examples include but not limited to race header, cold air intake, catback exhaust, coilovers. Clutch is the shifting mechanism in a manual car.
Coil overs are so stupid ,you can feel every bump on the road , I rather have the OEM suspension , and finds other ways to lower my Acura the right way , I m an old school car enthusiast, and I hate to see how kids screw up perfect cars to make them look stupid .
Thats sick bro! Good choice haha, let me know what you think about it after you get use to it and stuff. I'm in RVA now but I'm up by GMU pretty often.
Love your RSX-S man! Definitely need to get a tune once I start getting bolts on. Subscribed and check out my channel too, I just bought one a few months ago!

Aye finally someone who understands power isn’t everything and upgrades the platform and feeling first before power
Tires made a huge difference on my base 06, great advice 👍🏾
Get some coilovers to go with them if you haven't already and it makes a massive difference 👌

You should come through Richmond cars and coffee sometime, I'll be there but probably in my Q50 this weekend lol if the weather is cool.

I’m a hr from Rva! Thinking abt buying one
I’m in the 757 looking to buy a 05 type s before the summer hopefully 🙏🏾

Thanks! Really appreciate it. Rsx's are such great cars haha, happy to hear from other people that have rsx's like you and enjoy them as much as I do lol.
Wait, how did you rev your engine from inside the hood?
love this video man

love the touch screen mod
How to hit VTEC faster!!
Step 1. Get Kpro or KTuner if you have an 05-06 RSX
Step 2: tune your VTEC engagement to 1,000rpm.
Step 3: enjoy
😂 that is true
That’s stupid, you are always going to be on vtec not reliable at all , 4500rpm
You can just go mid rpm like 4500.
@@jayr8178 you almost got the joke
I like it. Real clean!

Good looking DC5🎉
Do you think you could possibly make a video about things to look out for or consider when looking to buy a 05-06 rsx type s? I’m currently looking to pick one up and would like to know some precautions before buying.
That's actually a really good idea thanks! Might actually have to be the next rsx video haha.

Can you bolt that shifter adapter on the straight factory clutch and it make a difference?
I live in Richmond Ashland area i didn't even think half these things I'd love to chat
Why not get rims that will allow you to get a wider tire
That’s my plan !
Clean build
I would definitely agree with these first 5 mods! A good suspension and tire setup helps the handling a lot. Then I would do an intake, Kpro/ktuner, RBC and then header and exhaust (in that order). This really helps the K20 breathe and make some good power. Subscribed!

@@CruisePunk did you custom make the bracket or did you buy it from somewhere?
@@CruisePunk that's exactly why I want the smaller battery haha. My injen CAI interferes with the battery with the RBC manifold.
Great Video
Thanks, appreciate it!
is the injen intake you have compatible with a 06 base?
Not sure if anyone asked this yet but what battery setup is that ? Looks clean
What kind of headlights are those? What brand name
Yo i need.link for the motor mounts and
What kind of springs you running
Great video! curious on what shift boot you have? looks like your collar and boot are aftermarket?
So actually the previous owner installed it, I'll get back to you on it though. I don't daily my rsx lol so next time I drive it I'll take a look. Thanks, really appreciate it!
So I checked out the shift boot and collar and honestly, sorry to say I cant tell you lol. No branding visible or anything.
Nice car bro
Thanks!
Great videos
Thanks man! Really appreciate it!
Do you find you get bad heatsoak from your shortram??
What radio do you have? I am looking to get a new one in my 05 type s
aem v2 air intake is the best intake ive had on my 06 type S
Is the heat soak bad with the aem v2?
@@xxfilthydxx1273 nope. not at all
Do you get heat soak with you sri?
Do you have a video on how install short shifter ?
Anyway you can send me a link for the shifter the current one isn’t working
No video sorry. Here the link
www.corsportusa.com/i-314-2002-2006-acura-rsx-neuspeed-short-shift-adapter.html
I have no idea what happened to my links in the description lol, thanks for pointing it out
CruisePunk no problem lol
CruisePunk one last question what’s the different between an adapter like that an actually shirt shifter like buddy club ?
The koni shocks and lowering springs are a waste of money you can get really good 4 coiler reset and you can adjust your dampening whenever you want.
Is it worth it putting a catback from front to back with a magnaflow exhaust on a automatic Rsx?
If you want it just for the sound yeah go for it but don’t expect to make good power

Just bought a RSX. Hmu in RVA area
I want to do all this stuff. Mine has 170k miles. Think its still worth doing?
Yeah, I think it's worth it. I'm in a local RSX group and most the cars there are pretty modded and have like 160k-200k miles
@@CruisePunk nice. I already got z 3" exhaust and a ktuner ecu coming. Then I'll get an rbc maniflod and go from there
@@CruisePunk can that ktuner ecu be hooked up myself? I should be getting mine any day now. Or does a shop have yo do it?

so werd did you hide your koni dampers your front shocks look standard to me lols
