That's a clean looking RSX to this day they still look amazing the RSX is a legend they sure don't make cars like they used too I like how it doesn't have all the unnecessary technology crap inside the Interior is basic and simple and that's the reason why your car will outlive all the new modern cars on the road
One of the cleanest Rsx's I've seen, don't sell it.. I have thought about selling mine too but the only reason is because it's a 2002. I just replaced my timing kit which is something that should be changed at 100k and mine started to go at 127k. I know my car will last a long time and currently at 132k. They just don't make cars like the RSX nowadays. I do want to get a new paint job next summer, living in salty Iowa, I got a little paint bubbling on the rear wheel wells..
I hear you! Mine needs a fresh coat of paint too. I'd like to pull almost everything off the car one winter here and redo everything like it just rolled off the showroom floor. I'll keep a look out for your build tho. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Agreed! My 2005 is at 118k and I'm finally having to do some real work on it besides clutch/rear main seal. Intermediate shaft bearing needs replacing as well as wheel bearings, and the struts have become very harsh so I will be replacing those soon. Motor/trans mounts need replacing as well. Pretty basic stuff and not too bad for it's age and mileage. Biggest complaint is Honda seemed to use the cheapest clear coat that was not meant to survive the California sunshine. It's peeling on every body panel that gets direct sunlight
Excuse me i have a Question, i'm planning on buying an RSX type s from 2002, but i also found a TL type S for 2007 with 86 more horsepower (as much as a 350z from 2004). Which car would be better to buy. The 201hp RSX? Or the 287hp TL? And just wanted to say both are Acura but i'm sure that was obvious.
Unfortunately, my opinion would be biased since I own and love my RSX Type-s. I have never really been into the TL game but great car overall. I'd say, go with what car you like the best and what you're looking to do with them. I wouldn't look at just the horsepower numbers unless that's what you're looking to build on. Even tho, the RSX can put down alot of power if done right. All in all, it's your car & what you're looking to do with it. Good luck and keep us posted!
I would snag the 2007 TL type S if it's a 6 speed as long as it doesn't have a ton of miles and has been taken care of by the previous owner. My buddy owned one except that it wasn't a manual but it was still very quick. I think the 07-08 TL Type S factory wheels are some of the best looking factory wheels made. Regardless of what you bought, hopefully you inspected the car and did a compression check on the engine. Sporty Honda & Acura models are usually known to be driven hard. It's nice when you find one that was taken care of.
If the RSX-S was made today it would be my first choice of cars. A naturally-aspirated 2 liter fun hatchback that is super reliable and fun is rare. I prefer a k20 engine to the torque-dipping mess they have in the Toyota 86. A Miata is the only competition, but you can't go to Lowe's in and buy shelves in a Miata.
thats a clean RSX, i have one same color and year , i was going to sell it but i decided to keep it, a lot people love the color of it,keep up the good work.
Had an RSX-S just like it except it was pearl white. Had Enkei PF01 with the DC5R Brembos. You should definitely get a set! They bolt right up with s2000 front rotors.
Wow this is beautiful. Those seats look mint af and This exterior is goals, I also preferred this rear rather than the a-spec one. The wing just looks kinda weird, mines different but awesome car. Cant wait to see more videos on it dude :)
Edwin Gonzalez thanks Edwin! I appreciate it. Car might be going to pain this winter and upgrading a few things. I’ll be sure to keep everyone posted. Thanks for watching.
I daily a 06 nighthawk black pearl type s and love it.. I’m on the same page as you.. I wanna let it go and pickup another car but my wallet isn’t with it haha although I do got a 1990 rx7 convertible I’m building but a r32/33 skyline would be pretty sweet
That’s pretty awesome you still daily the rsx! Hopefully our wallets will support it here in the future lol good luck with the builds tho. Thanks for the comment.
I just randomly found this video man and it’s pretty cool to see a local youtuber. I live in York man, I drive an 8th gen si and was thinking about buying a type s.. This definitely makes me want one
Very nice review of your car. I wouldn't change a thing. I just bought an '05 RSX-S two days ago. Love it love it love it. I'm probably going to add the TYPE-S badge to the front grill. I have already ordered new head lights off ebay as the original ones are just to hazzy. I tried to clean them up, but I'd rather replace them.
Thanks. Lights came yesterday, and the top left plastic bracket where a screw goes in was lying broken in the box. LOL. Oh well. I'm off this Sunday and will put on the window vent visors and front grill Type S emblem. Going to replace the power steering pump O rings as well. I may install the lights any way because the factory passenger light is broken in the same place, and the light doesn't shake when I drive and is in nice and snug. I think the seller on ebay is sending me a new pair though. I can't wait to replace those cloudy headlights. More to come I'm sure. LOL
Wow looks so beatiful just like my uncles rsx same color aswell after he passedaway my grandma unfortunetly sold it wish i was older back then so i couldve inherited it 😭😭
Never get rid of the rsx reason being is that it’s a rare car and u don’t see many people driving them I have a type s and I’m pretty sure I’m the only person in a 200 mile radius that has one and that’s a fact!
Brady Warren thank you sir! I appreciate it. I can cover more on the exhaust in the next video. It’s running a club rsx header or better known as a “private label mfg power driven k series header” but I believe they stopped making them to be honest.
Absolutely clean Mike!!! Love the blue color and wheel/tire setup. I, myself own a 02 RSX Type-S and will never sell her. Looking forward to more content from ya. Subscribe :)
Mike Bulka true. What u got your eye on since u might sell the s? One of my good friends has a 02 with a a full t4/built motor. Fun but only highway fun. All motor 250-275 whp is optimal for your app. If u decide to go boost, youll need to keep an extra 2nd and 3rd gear with shift forks. Lsd, axles is a must anything over 350. May the force be with you. Lol. ✌
I got a 2005 RSX-S. Unfortunately, I am about to purchase my 2nd Tranny. Got it since new..192K and counting. I sure don't want to sell it anytime soon. I will tackle the tranny install myself. I think I was duped the first time.
Jerry Gs-R thanks brother! I really appreciate it. Sadly, the car be worth more if I sold the parts on it and put it back to stock. That’s kinda how the Honda game works unfortunately.

i wish they still made an RSX ... Acura's line up (affordable cars) is pretty boring right now.
Been 2 Da Moon I agree! They need to come back with someone close to the RSX. It would def sell.
Couldn't agree more.
It's 2018 and the rsx still looks amazing!! Yours looks great keep it!
Thank you! I appreciate it

I just bought a salvage 02 RSX-S super clean interior barely hit in the front.Only 102k miles. Super excited to start driving it
Congrats brother! Can’t wait to see the build if you put it on TH-cam. Any big plans for it?
Easily the nicest RSX-S Ive ever seen!
Thanks man I appreciate it!
If you ever want to sell it, I'd take wonderful care of it. Just let me know!
I agree man !!! This rsx is nasty!!!!
If the RSX-S was made today it would be my first choice of cars. A naturally-aspirated 2 liter fun hatchback that is super reliable and fun is rare.

Thank you! I agree. That blue does pop
Keep uploading man, you've got awesome content. You could make it big on here
Thanks for watching! More to come for sure.
always preferred the 06 head and tail lights over the 02
Yes the kouki tail, the circles are so cool looks like a more expensive car like a skyline
Had an RSX-S just like it except it was pearl white. Had Enkei PF01 with the DC5R Brembos. You should definitely get a set! They bolt right up with s2000 front rotors.
That’s awesome! I’ll def have to look into them. Turbo first tho haha
Wow this is beautiful. Those seats look mint af and This exterior is goals, I also preferred this rear rather than the a-spec one. The wing just looks kinda weird, mines different but awesome car. Cant wait to see more videos on it dude :)
Edwin Gonzalez thanks Edwin! I appreciate it. Car might be going to pain this winter and upgrading a few things. I’ll be sure to keep everyone posted. Thanks for watching.
I think I’m a little late to the party...but what exhaust do you have? It sounds good, and my muffler grate is rattling so I need a new one
I daily a 06 nighthawk black pearl type s and love it.. I’m on the same page as you.. I wanna let it go and pickup another car but my wallet isn’t with it haha although I do got a 1990 rx7 convertible I’m building but a r32/33 skyline would be pretty sweet

You should def buy one brother. You don’t seem many clean ones around anymore. That’s awesome your local tho. Glad to see more PA people on here.

This rsx is beautiful this makes me appreciate my tsx so much more I wish acura would make this car again
That color is so clean
Nice RSX! I was wondering, what color blue is your RSX? I was looking to paint my RSX and as soon as I saw your RSX I loved the color.
I have a 2004 rsx, what rim size would be good to put on it? The whole car is still stock.
Wow looks so beatiful just like my uncles rsx same color aswell after he passedaway my grandma unfortunetly sold it wish i was older back then so i couldve inherited it 😭😭
Dude I love your car , keep it. Been thinking of getting one myself
Kevin Jones thank you! You should, they are honestly great cars. Hard to find clean now tho.
I have an 06 base, I'm definitely selling it, but yours is inspirational, how much hp do have since you tuned it?
Is the diff open or LSD on it? That was always one of the things I wanted to change on my 2003 type S
Aaron Benson my car has an LSD in it. Yea, that’s the one thing I like about the newer models
Hey just wondering what rims are they because I’m getting a DC5 type s this Tuesday coming I’m looking for that type of rims
Congrats on getting such an awesome car Vice. The wheels are Enkei pf01’s. 18’s. Good luck with the RSX.
What is the part number on those shocks you used on the hood ?
What's the color code on this , looks clean af 🔥
I've got the JDM Type-S. Final production model.. I couldn't dream of selling her either.
Wow That’s pretty awesome! Yea def don’t do that.
Is there any difference between the JDM version to the USDM Type S other than the drive side ?
Beautiful and clean. I love my 04 rsx type S. But no where clean as yours.
Never get rid of the rsx reason being is that it’s a rare car and u don’t see many people driving them I have a type s and I’m pretty sure I’m the only person in a 200 mile radius that has one and that’s a fact!
Buster _ I agree 110%
What kind of blue is this
nice dc5 bro ...pretty sure that's a stock valve cover the type r ones just say honda but i may b wrong as i own a k24a2 sway a.t.m but clean af
Love the color... what type of blue is it?
Thanks Jake! The color is vivid blue pearl. One of the best blues I’ve ever seen on a car. Really pops in the sunlight.
Mike Bulka thanks brother. Appreciate it.
Nice car my man! I'm planning on getting one or a tsx manual. What wheels do you have?
So clean man!! How about some exhaust clips? Stock header?
Brady Warren thank you sir! I appreciate it. I can cover more on the exhaust in the next video. It’s running a club rsx header or better known as a “private label mfg power driven k series header” but I believe they stopped making them to be honest.
Yo what seat are those ? They’re fire !
Such a clean rsx
Thank you Andrew! I appreciate it brother.
what kind of paint job is that? love the colour
Alex Taylor factory blue. Best blue from Acura in my opinion
@@MikeBulka wow I didn't know the factory blue was that nice. My rsx has the dark grey, boring as hell lol would love to get this colour done

that bay is CLEEEEEAAAAAAN
Love the car and that you show love to local shops in chambersburg. I live in the area also

Mike Bulka No problem, hope to see more of it soon. Keep up the hard work 💪💯

Clean Type S man, still deciding on selling or keeping?
Beautiful rsx bro i want a type s so bad ill have one someday

Rich B thank you Rich
Awesome car, just a little too flashy for me. Gimmie a stock s 06 in black and im good.
Love a done right Black RSX... but black is so hard to keep clean.
Mike Bulka true. What u got your eye on since u might sell the s? One of my good friends has a 02 with a a full t4/built motor. Fun but only highway fun.

Mike Bulka 5:17. Stunning shot. So clean. Paint looks flawless
Sell it... to me!

Definitely sell it.
This Car is absolutely beautiful !!!
Thank you!! :)
Beautiful car
This a beautiful car ilove it!!! and still looking 4 one to buy
Is a 2002 type s worth it ?
Most def... Just depends on what you want to do with it. Also, depends on how much you're picking one up for.
I have a bone stock 02' Type S in Desert Metallic... Extra clean car, 150k miles. What should I be able to get out of this car? I'm about to list it
Is that civic so blue?
SI
No it's the 05-06 factory blue
What front bar is that?
Lucas Giacoboni front bar? Not sure what you’re asking.
Mike Bulka front bumper
Stock front bumper with factory A-Spec lip
Beautifull car i have the same color 05 not type s not as clean but getting there good vid
the mad doctor. 2nd2none custom it’ll be worth it when you’re finished with it. Good luck
@@MikeBulka thank you brother i look at yours for inspiration from time to time i love what u done with it great build brother
Damn bro great job , u make honda guys proud . How much would u sell it for if u did ?
Jerry Gs-R thanks brother! I really appreciate it. Sadly, the car be worth more if I sold the parts on it and put it back to stock. That’s kinda how the Honda game works unfortunately.
Mike Bulka i would still buy , simply because its prestine
Yea they are super hard to come by now. A clean one that is. Most are all beat up. Super sad.
Dream car

Cristian Leal vivid blue pearl
Respect!

Mike Bulka Thank you so much man. Keep up the work man i wish you all the best on TH-cam and god bless.
