- You asked for it, and Ben wanted to sell it. He unstanced the stanced TSX. As a sidenote- this car is ALREADY SOLD.

This car is SOLD! Thanks for watching this, everyone. Hope it was as satisfying for you as it was for us.
Already ? That car was clean. The Blue on those Accura are very sought for
@@RiasGremoryS54 its crazy he said its a non OEM blue, I have a stock blue one of these and the colour looks identical, easily the best looking colour they come in, in my opinion
My friend Dylan bought it thing is pretty clean now it lives in ohio now
I bought it!!
my buddy actually bought this car. watched this whole series then saw on Facebook he bought i was blown away haha
I like how he un-stanced it just to sell it to some kid who’s most definitely going to stance it right after
Fax tho
hahaha literally
Well, at least it's got the subframe clearancing done.
I just did an IRL spit take reading this 😂 the realness is real
More value selling it in it's driveable state
It’s like a weird alternate universe where cars come stanced out From the factory and this is a build to make it special
With Hondas that's almost just how it is. Unless your build starts at the dealership, 80% of the job is usually un-molesting. I had a stock 91 Civic that got stolen, and in the 3 weeks they had it, the car was turned into a full-rice vape-bro basket case. They put serious driveway time and spent money to ruin that poor car.
I love Hondas, but so much of that community is just madness. Some day there's only going to be one clean stock EG hatch left on Earth. Someone is going to spend $1.5 million on it, and just start cutting.
Back in 2007 while living in Japan, I really liked this car a lot (sold as an Accord) but was way out of my budget. You did a great job trying to save it.
E hj tu mora aonde Bruno?
It's still a premium here in Asia especially in South Asia. This is the first car I thought to be a race car growing up lol
@@NotUrDJ Same. It has a great fan following here in Pakistan and it’s definitely on my list. Beautiful car with an amazing engine.
Man I wanted a cl7 euro r so bad. But they have gone up in value when it comes to importing to Canada.
@@NotUrDJ This car is sold as Honda Accord Euro in Australia, and you can also buy the 'normal' Accord in Australia, more options :) It's a very nice looking car, simple and clean
When Gears and Gasoline unricing any car is too satisfying. I love it.
its literally just lowered you geek
@@qwebl pretty sure there is a diff between lowered and stanced
@@qwebl and gay camber
@@qwebl Stupid stance + garbage bodykit + ugly clears + fuckboi stickers + it was on reps.
@@qwebl stance,sadboyz stuff
I'm glad your fixing the tsx. It's a great car and a rare manual. Cant wait to see the end product
A CL9 TSX is a nice car , but it’s not rare to find in a manual lol
It's only in America it's rare. Almost all of these are manual in EU.
@@noelnicklasson6997 I'd like you to point me to any Acura TSX you know is in Europe. You're probably talking about the Honda Accord :)
They sold it
@@chickeyy1792 It's the same car. I own one.
Gotta love the fact that the editor matched the music to the bpm of the hammering, it's the little details that make this channel great
how is no one telling them they needed to loosen the locking collar first ?
Imagine the buyer was looking for a car to stance and bought this one with plans to slam it 😂
I'm dying laughing
It’s good to see that TSX in a more usable state. To get rid of all of those VSA and warning lights, chances are it will need a shop with Honda diagnostic software or the dealer to do a VSA calibration, and if the previous owner damaged the speed sensors, that’ll be something to replace to finally get all of those warning lights off that were caused by stancing/coilovers.
Hope the new owner enjoys it!
Yeah seems that the speed sensors are a very common problem between TSX owners. I personally own an 04 and had the VSA ABS/Warning light, and it was just that, one of my speed sensors was dead.
As a honda owner, the whole time I felt like a new speed sensor would’ve fixed those lights 🤧
I just un-stanced my NC miata from the previous owner, I started with full intentions of making it clean, but after spending two days getting the coils unsized, put at the right height, and seeing the undercarriage up close, i just didn’t really care as much, its a work car, and thats all it will really be.
I feel you
I should stop feeling you 😐
@@TheDarknessConsumesMe666 😂
The license plate being held by one screw is the perfect analogy for this car.
Used to own a 2005 TSX. I miss it alot, it was a really fun car to drive and super reliable. It was built like a tank.
This man is doing the good lord’s work out here. Ben, you’ve done a fantastic job, and the world is that much better now that you’ve corrected someone’s horrible mistake.
No mistake. There is nothing wrong with the car. It wasn’t intended for road trips.
@@halogod0298 That thing wasn't even intended for driving, which kind of destroys the point of a car.
@@halogod0298 are you brain damaged?
@@sampuhhupmas5666 no, because the new point is to be a stance car. That is the point. Wether You like it or not. And last time I checked it drove 6000 miles. Civics were meant to be economy cars, but people race them. Is that defeating the point too? 🤡🤡
@@JustinSeara No, I’m just right. And you’re just a hater
Loved that you got a song to match the bpm of the hammering at 3:40. Small touch, but it adds a ton
No Joke, I love this roadtrip series soooo much, especially the stanced one was extremly entertaining.
Love this 'reverting to stock' content. There's so many modded old vehicles out there that this'll help a lot of people out when buying used cars and wanting to fix prior owner decisions.
Those hood risers weren’t just to help clear the hood for taller engine swaps. It was also very good at getting rid of extra heat in those little engine bays when you turbo them or build them up quite a bit. Radiators and cooling in general have gotten so good I’m not sure those are necessary anymore. Especially on an Acura as modern as the TSX.
Hood risers actually reduce engine bay heat extraction, the lower part of the windshield is a high pressure area so air actually gets forced into the bay rather than drawn out
this has to be the first ever video I've seen where someone undos a stance...holy hell I need to find more of these, it's sooooooo satisfying!
I was hoping you would do this to the TSX. Thank you for giving it a new lease on life.
As a car enthousiast I can't understand why I haven't found this channel earlier.. You've just earned another subscriber. This video was nice to watch!
some love stance some don't, but they are not meant for road trips, it's like offroad 4x4 on highway yes you can do it but it's not going to be comfortable, I think stance cars are nice when correctly done and cared for
Although i like the look of stance cars, i much prefer it when good fitment is achieved when the car isn't on 10 degrees of camber and scraping the frame. Being said that I much rather see a ruined TSX than a ruined NSX.
So awesome to see a damaged, unusable car get repaired, that poor TSX has been to hell and back again, now it can live on as a daily driver with sick speakers. Thank you for this very satisfying content (even though it wasn’t the perfection y’all are accustomed to)
Just woke up and realizing that the best TH-cam channel got a new one.
Music choice in these videos is always top notch!
This poor TSX didn't deserve what the previous owner put it through. Pouring one out for this poor car. RIP, TSX.
Nah it was clean
@@CLVS nah
@@CLVS Nothing on reps is clean.
@@extrudatinoal reps > real. Imagine paying way more for exactly the same thing. People like you who hate reps are just mad you paid the big bucks for nothing
@@CLVS enjoy the lower quality chinese knockoff rims because you couldn’t afford the real deal, don’t cheap out on necessary components that make your car drive, good rims aren’t even that expensive 🤡
love almost all of this. that first gen k24 could be freed up to breath a little better. a cold air intake and 4-2-1 headers would have brought you up 10HP.
All the stance boys who watch this channel who thought they were car guys up until this point when Ben says “don’t stance your car” 😂
not all lowered cars are stanced though, but that was stance and it was pretty bad
My car is the same way. Looks amazing in pictures and from 20 feet but you get up close and she's a little clapped. That's exactly how I like it! I don't have to worry about it so much and mechanically it's sorted and a little ripper!
That body style of TSX was a truly great-looking design. I had an 06 6MT and it was a great ride, I wish I would have kept it. My biggest gripe was the seats and there was no plausible aftermarket (or Euro R Recaros) that would work without airbag issues.
I agree, the seats were horrible. I just wish the chassis was a bit lighter also.
I love stance cars and i love cars built to be driven properly. I own both types of cars. You all need to broaden your horizons and understand people who stance their cars know very well they drive like shit.
I just don't understand all of the hate on different subcultures in the entirety of car culture.
This one was a goofy series, but Ben was really sick and honestly, one of your best series. I’m not a stance guy at all but the way you made this work, I think it’s your best work. It well never be your best viewed work but I think this is some of your best work. Good job boys! Good job.
This was a very satisfying video to watch, glad to see it made more road worthy. I owned one for six years, called an Accord Euro where I live. A car I do miss
Well, i actually liked that front lip. It wasnt that bad. The tailights didnt look that bad too. Idk, I'd just leave them if it were mine.
But yeah, the stance and those wheels gotta go.
Alot of things in this video were very satisfying to watch.
Thanks for the video. That car ought to be a good daily driver for someone.
Also an excellent cautionary tale for those pondering stancing.
great for a beginner driver wanting to learn stick
If you removed the one 14mm bolt holding the coilover to the fork you turn it by hand and adjust your ride height. No beating on the coilovers for hours.
agree on everything except changing out the taillights. shit looked hella dope
I would have to disagree lol
Hey!!! I actually own this car right now I’ve had it for about a year now and is still running great! Still has all the speakers and what not in it also! She’s not as pretty but gets me to work everyday 🍻
ok lowkey the hammering in sync with the beat is so satisfying on 3:26.
Going stock is the best mod you can do to a stance car haha great video
ive had a couple stance cars and many non and while its fun to have something thats so low that it scrapes on everything, having a fully functional track built car was significantly more fun. Further, the satisfaction of using the car always out performs the satisfaction of someone taking a photo of your car in a parking lot. as a side note: WHAT KIND OF PAINT MATCH AEROSOL DID YOU USE?
I like these unruining a ruined car videos
I never have and never will understand stancing. thanks for saving the car
Unstancing??? Instant LIKE!
These cars needs more love!! They are so underrated.
I own an 07 TSX and I get it…I love that car, but unless you’re keeping up with repairs (not just maintenance), it’s a lot to fix at once! I’ve had mine for 13 years and always kept up with regular maintenance, but I was letting non-mechanical repairs go and now that its old enough to need a bunch of mechanical replacements too (ps rack, suspension, motor mounts, etc) it’s going to get expensive fast to add the look-good replacements. Seats always rip and are on my list, bumper paint has been chipping since I bought it, a piece of the grill just blew off one day, the paint needs a re-clear at the very least possibly whole new paint job, I think a spoiler would look good, some window tint,…the list goes on. Fantastic mechanical cars, but the quality of a lot of the interior/exterior stuff is sub-par in my opinion.
Ive always loved this generation tsx/accord. Sad to see what some kid did to it and how bad it was damaged. I honestly cringe when i hear a stance car scrape and the person driving brushes it off saying “it’s just the subframe” smh. If cars could talk im sure it would thank you 1000 times. Good job Ben you did what you could and the results look a lot of times better.
Subframes are replaceable but the actual frame isn’t. So as long as the actual body of the car doesn’t it damaged it’s fine.
@@FG4Kiddo The subframe is a critical part on a car, it holds the suspension, engine/trans and keeps rigidity to the body. Replaceable or not lol nothing fine about causing damage to your car for some likes on insta.
@@manlb9254 most static drivers doesn’t do it for others. We do it for ourselves because we love the look of the car. And 85% of the time I don’t even hit my subframe when I’m driving. I can only speak for myself on that part not others.
these k24a2 are restricted from factory 188whp , all you gotta do is un-restrict them and these tsx are really fun dailys, it needs reflash ecu from hondata, headers/exhaust, cmc kit, vtc 50 cam gear, rbc intake mani swap, j37 tb swap, rsx type s oil pump, it'll guarantee to make 230 to the wheels
Do. Not. Stance. Your. Car. Thanks for this mini series, really gives insight on what to expect if you stance your vehicle
Removing so decals made me Soo happy!
Thanks for putting one more stock-looking 1st gen TSX back on the road. They're getting to be a rare sight.
It was so satisfying seeing this car being de-ricefied.!!!!
Thank you for saving this car! Feels good that it will live on another life unstanced.
even the thumbnail it already looks 10 times better. Glad you guys didn't straight away trash the car
You guys should do this more often, buy stanced cars revert to stock and resell. Saving the world one car at a time.
Imagine doing that to the car and thinking it looks good, thanks for saving it.
Major improvement. Nothing to be a sad boy about now
They matched the tempo of the music to the tempo of them hammering the suspension adjustment collar, nice
I knew Ben would restore this monstrosity! Lol
Thanks for the great videos G&G!
EDIT: Also the hammering being in-sync with the music at 3:35 😂
TSX is my favorite car in the world, great to see it presented on the channel.
If you ever need to adjust the coil overs again, wash the treads with a wheel brush, it makes it a lot easier to adjust them without it having to get bound up.
Finally somebody who want to preserve the integrity of this car. The tsx is a unicorn hands down.
Nice
You should re-do the road trip in it now it's stock and see how more enjoyable it would be.
PLEASE... Do a video on the DIY rattle can paint setup and where to get the components to do so.
The hammering on beat with the song. 🎧
I’ve always had a huge crush on this car. 6speed k20 with full leather and gorgeous bodywork. Yet understated in a way. Was a hoot watching it donk it’s way across America, but def glad you brought it back to a classier configuration. 🖖 keep making kick ass content
actually is a k24 with a deep stoke of 99mm, the k20 stroke is 86mm
There were a few words were saying like"the highest level of modifying your car is turn it back into stock", saying a lot in those countries where enthusiastic cultures are hardly restricted
Still don’t know how the TSX made it all the way
Issa honda!
So happy to see you back doing what we love you doing Ben
Thank you for saving this car, it looks so much better. Those 5 spokes were choice though
its almost like honda knew what they were doing being that the best way the car looks is stock. I couldve never guessed some 15 year old without his frontal lobe fully developed would know how to mod/ design a car
You know there’s some Stance kids going “look what they did to my boy” or something watching this 😂
brings back memories, i had a white tsx with 19” gold te37s, lowered on tein flex. i got out the car scene before the weird stance phase. my car looked awesome but was slow as dirt :)
The outro was a great selection gas and gasoline are on top of there game always great to watch
In Australia this car would probably get seized if you got pulled over in the stanced state.
In the unstanced/stockish state, if you took it for a road worthy (required for change of ownership in Australia), the mechanic would just be like get out of here, this will never pass lmao.
Every single bit of the frame rails are scraped with god knows how many mm of thickness missing, as is the subframe and core support.
Poor car would only be good for scrap and a few parts - boot lid, headlights, bonnet, side glass, interior, alternator, power steering pump, ac compressor. The rest is either rooted or has been abused (entire drivetrain lol).
Don't stance your cars kids, it ruins everything.
If you want to hard park get bags, but drive at a normal height.
Holy shiz I rlly thought this car looked pretty cool stanced out but you really showed and proved to me that cars like this are just naturally beautiful in simple and stock form!
Dang, those sticker removal skillz are legit
"Ben's a terrible painter, because this is just awful."
Pro tip though - 50% overlap and go along the length of the piece you're painting.
Not sure if this comment will be replied but I loved the mini series. Seeing this car put back to as normal as possible was satisfying . Hope it went to a great home.
Were those clear taillights sold or thrown away ? If not I’d love to purchase them. I just got my first TSX a few wks ago and would love to do its first mod. Deff would get some use out of them
Good enough first car for some kid or necessary daily. So many panels would have to be sanded down or outright replaced to fix that paint
I'm glad you somewgat saved this car. I have an arctic blue six speed tsx just like this. It's been the best car I've ever owned and I've powered it to about this height. I have a full bolt on setup on it right now. These cars are the best do everything cars there are. I've had so much fun in mine
This is the most cathartic video I have ever watched
Good Job
Turned a sow’s ear into a silk purse.
It’s a daily driver now, with slap!
Looks about as good as an x-stanced car can look without spending serious money. Loved this series and can’t wait for the next one!
This is the video I'm sure everyone wanted since the roadtrip started
This reminds me of those old MK5 GTI commercials. "Time to un-pimp your auto" 🤣
Stance cars: For when you want a car, but not to drive it, just to meme with it lol
That hammering bit was… very good
The clear tails were actually pretty cool aside from the green
see they say don't stance your car, but I've seen people with immaculate cars stanced that actually took time to modify it rather than drywall screws for the side skirt. i feel like they picked up a couple half assed modified cars.
I dont care how bad its painted, I am just thankful somebody is doing it. As a mechanic I had to constantly undo others mods to make a car useable again. Where I live the roads are so horrible it's hard to get away with rims. If a car is lowered, there are places you cant go at all. If you have ever been around branson mo, you would understand. Narrow roads with sheer drop on one side and cliff face on the other. Nowhere to pull over, so better have your shit on point.
man. this was so fun to watxh. id love to see more like this. also. glad to see you back Ben!
Thank god he did it , I was up late worried about that Acura
Miss the clears! Something cool about that 90s style. Just need some real nice LED units to light them.
itd be a good first car for a teenager thats like 16 or 17
has some potential as a summer vacation project like sanding it and wrapping it
Simple is always better honestly nice set of wheels would make the car look better then it's actual condition. Wish the 2nd gen TSX got as much love part and performance wise as the first 1st gen did.
This is like Pimp my Ride in reverse.
For some reason this is really satisfying
