The owner of Spoon once said that the CL7/CL9 TSX/Accord R has a better chassis than the Civic and Integra. He said it just weighs too much so once it's lightened it's actually better. I used to run one and just with intake + header + exhaust + brake pads it had no issues keeping up with a stock E46 M3 on track.
Nice dude. I really love this car too. More specifically, the accord r
Also to add the 90s Intergra 4door is a stiffer and better chassis over the two door 90s teg but I still prefer the two door teg r.
Pretty sure cl7 cl9 are stiffer and more rigidity, but no way they are better chassis than older civics especially ek eg dc2 Ed, thoes cars running double wish bone man
@@freakyfriday9370 So does the TSX...
@@freakyfriday9370 ek and eg are shit... good chassis just with 5k invested in them
Hard not to love a first Gen TSX
The beak ruined it tbh. First gen is much more eye appealing
The CL9 Chassis won SCCA Endurance TC Championship 3 times 2005, 2007, 2008.
I love this thing soo much, you have no idea. I've been talking to my wife about building a CL9 race car, just to make like a US Super Tourer.
Do it, these things drive & handle so good.
You can tell Larry tends to forget all the crazy touring JTCC cars
Yeah but those cars costs hundreds of thousands these are still relatively cheap build in comparison to jtcc and btcc cars a tsx shell with a cage probably cost him 3k-5k and the motor and trans probably 10k if the motor is built but if it's a stock motor with bolt ONS maybe 4k and the list slowly builds up from there which is still cheaper than a jtcc car
@@tijeansharpe566 I can tell my point went over your head it’s not about the cost but I meant it wasn’t the first sedan to be a track build this was normal it’s nothing new….
@@guero9093 ohh yeah Larry probably knows that but I guess maybe because it not in his era of motorsports documentary he overlooked them
96,97 Honda Accord mugen a forgotten legend
There is actually quite a lot of love for this generation of Accord/TSX. The CL9 chassis is quite possibly one of Hondas best cars imo. The design still just about holds it's own today, for a car that will be 20 next year that's .quite an achievement.
I actually regret selling my 08 NHB Manual its such a enjoyable car to drive K24/6 Speed with classic Honda double wishbone can’t beat that only thing Honda should’ve done is add a Helical Style LSD.
💯 absolutely agree with you! Fantastic platform, love mine and will probably never get rid of it either, gonna keep on building her 👍!
Damn, I literally just finished wrenching on my pos daily beater. Now I see this and its got my juices going again. A week ago i was ready to crush it lol.
Larry, my man, this chassis has racing pedigree, just look at the euro r for example 😕
heck, there were even factory race cars, not to mention the spoon, m&m, RealTime, and this badass one
James is a legend, hell of a guy and a super talented driver! Happy to see you feature his TSX build Larry!
Thank you for featuring such a unique build Larry! It’s always awesome to see under-appreciated chassis get some spotlight, especially with knowledge and passionate owners!
14:32 that’s me in the red hat!! Super awesome to meet you Larry! Thanks for the stickers and the picture!
There's a lot of tsx/euro cl9 and cu2 Honda fans throughout the world, great video, I have a completely stock euro cu2 as one of my company vehicles, I also have a CR-V, cheap, comfortable and fast. Great video. Great to see haltech gear in there too!
Glad to see a feature on this build. I’m trying to build a stream version of this car.
The secret with the TSX is they took a sports car from Japan and labeled it a luxury vehicle lol
The uncommon stuff is the best.
What a gorgeous track car. One of my favorite liveries of all time. I did a black/white digi camo style on an S2000, looks stunning.... now I gotta figure out how to get all the Gridlife class decals in GT7.....
I have always liked the body lines of the TSX
Love this thing! Go TSX Gang!
Much love- jealous the TSX came with that suspension setup and the DC5 didn’t. Always the weak point on the DC5
Thank you Larry Chen for featuring this car once again -M/T TSX Owner
i wish this platform had more love its hard getting parts for my tsx lol
4yrs ago had an 06 auto TSX then moved on to a B18b1 with gsr trans EK sedan. Have a 2yr old now, wife just got a 2020 Accord 1.5T. I'm planning on getting a 06-08 JDM Accord type R aka USDM TSX 6sp!
This model has been around racing for a while Larry. You need to check your history
Love the TSX so much man, hondas hidden gems.
I love the tsx and this tsx this particular one gives me Australian v8 racing vibes style looks cool
James is the man. Love his DC2.
I got a 04 TSX 6 spd and its a fun daily even took it out to Buttonwillow once gotta change that
4:42 Integras with the trailing arm did this too. Ask anyone whos ever driven one on the limit, It handles more like a FR than an FF. That lift off Snap oversteer.
I saw once on the Nurburgring european doppelganger of TSX wagon - Accord Tourer, with cage and aero, fully track specced. That's the true oddball, with K24 under the hood obviously.
We need to get Larry to 1 million subscribers! I don’t understand why he’s not there yet….
For being a big heavy car that the tax is, this car is quick and dude can drive. I follow Kutil, I think that’s how it’s spelled. Car was catching and pulling on him. Well done.
i so happy igo my self a 07 tsx and its so fun to drive
Realtime Acura were whuppin ass with there tsx ,from back then .. so no doubt in he would be doing well in his .. iv owned tsx's n did the basic tune, and they actually pulled n handled really well shout to Truhart.. coilovers were great for the street
I love going to the track and being in a car that most people don't have. A TSX fits that bill!
A lot of racing is about using cars that weren’t intended to go fast… like the 3 Series and 190’s in DTM, the original Mini Coopers in rallying, and Realtime Racing’s TSX in World Challenge Touring Car.
This cars are getting popular and hard to find and soon to be classic cars and collectible bc the k24 they have and i am glad I have my dream car
Larry, you keep talking about "cars that were never meant to go fast." But that's a large part of racing. The cars participating in DTM, World Challenge GT, were "never meant to go fast." Cars such as 3 Series, MB 190, Mini Cooper, amd TSX.
Dumb question but is there any room for improvements with everything that’s done, since there’s a power and weight restriction
Larry forgot about the Realtime Racing TSX team lol
LoL at talking about Will to James...
Larry can you ask ktuned to remake the discontinued kpro dual ecu harness?
For CL9/CL7 chassis
Love ur videos
We have all the Manual Accords in Cape Town 😀
😂🤣😂🤣😂
What is the wheel and tire spec and brands on this?
4th gen preludes have double wishbones all four corners. also very accord up till 8th gens have this exact suspension this tsx does. He’s making this car sounds ultra special and rare and it isn’t. Definitely a cool ass car tho!! No hate, I’m just autistic for honda stuff and am a tech at a honda dealership. But yeah this tsx has practically the same suspension as my 2000 accord v6 coupe. Just civic based stuff was trailing arm and other ones here and there. Fits are like that single beam rear axle with McPherson up front …..
What type of intake is on this car?
What the wheel and tire spec?
I saw 285 fronts - are they 285 rears also?
The TSX was meant to be a race car, the accord/euro R. It’s not an Acura TL.
Larry, I'm upset you know nothing about the 7th gen accords, but then again, I don't blame you.
This is what ever person in my town with a tsx think they have
Same here by me all the way in South Africa🤣😂
Opening song????
are you still using honda gears in the transmission? Is it a secret or you can tell us a little bit of you recipes :p
Konig Hypergrams make anything look great 💪💀📦🔥🏁🔰🇯🇵
Ayeee
Wheels??
I know that this might be a unrelated question, but I've been trying for a while to find out what's the title of the song that Larry uses for outro.
Big thanks to anyone that helps.

The Tsx is a race car “touring race car” Honda Accords are just as much of a race car as any civic or Integra just a different class of automotive racing also there is a long forgotten Chassis that is a Honda Accord that was faster then a N1 GTR
are you detuning it with the dbw tb? it look like theres a plate between the tb in manifold?
Restrictor plate
She's a worker
Remember guys, he's just trying to be the fastest in a straight line.
dude!!! your filming, and the mouth breathers walking by like DUHHHH!!!!!!
Your mom drives an Acura. I seen her
This guy is a HOUGHt TON of a time
Larry chen is surprised people build street cars into racecars
His dumb ir lameness gets old honestly...
#GoHomeGota2022
Wait, what?!? Not supposed to be a race car? Who forgot to tell RealTime Racing? This car with a K20C1 or 4 would rule SCCA STU.
I cringed a little
AKA the Honda Accord outside the US.
Unsub for the chad that you interviewed
J swap it
What for lol
@@pirelli41 100 more hp ova a k in every way
@@seikoja then that means more weight? if he wants more power he can just build the k vs j swap
He said he was at 290hp and detuned to 230.
@@seikoja we’re already detuning the car by 50 whp for the class rules
