2004 Acura TSX: Aggressive STANCED Sedan!

Hello everyone,
Today we bring you another awesome builder with his amazing Acura TSX! I absolutely love this build because it gets driven while it looks extremely clean. I know a lot of you understand how much I like this chassis. This build started a couple of years ago while Victor was working. He saw a cool TSX that grabbed his attention right away. He did purchase an automatic first but as soon as I he found this manual he had to jump on it. I am impressed on how clean this car for being a daily and track car. Amazing job Victor and thank you for sharing your story! #automotiveanatomy

For 10 years I had 2004 Honda Accord Type S in Europe which is identical to Acura TSX, it was lowered, chipped, plenty of modifications and I almost cried when I had to sell it when I moved to the US. Now I plan to buy a TSX and make it all over again. That is one of my favourite cars of all time, and I've driven 911s and Ferraris on the Nürburgring.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

They are awesome cars! So much aftermarket support for any type of direction that you may want to take it.

[@jpcustodio3973]

Motivates me to do more to my tsx. Got all suspension done but she needs power. Also loved that he has the j’s exhaust. Still waiting on mine 😁

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Great build car. I absolutely loved everything about it.

[@snkrvision]

What year is yours carnal?

[@ilikebudlite]

Love it! I have a stock 09 TSX, 6 speed and an 800hp 07 GT500. I enjoy the TSX more on the street, its not always about pure speed, its about enjoying the drive, the solid clunk of the shifter, and how tossable it is...Honda got it so right.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thanks for tuning in. Stock TSXs are fun as they come from factory man.

[@jacksonjacksonnguyen]

wheel set up 12:29

[@oldskool1979]

That model TSX is my 2md fav "Accords" ever... I like the 1988-1989 2 door Accords the best !

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

haha Accords over everything and anything Rob.

[@daltooze]

hell yeah glad to see more and more people getting into the tsx chassis hopefully it will get us more mod support from companies in the future

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

They are awesome cars. The chassis that has multiple levels of support.

[@gqfilipino95]

Love the TSX video. Motivates me to complete mine. Needs RL BBK upgrade.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Keep working on it Jon!!

[@SoulPhoReal]

Great interview with Victor and his TSX, I met him at streets of willow. Super cool dude, and a great driver. Gus you have to make it out to a track day and get some coverage!!

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thank you brotha, yes I do need to get some coverage. I am planning on it man.

[@reidmitchell1980]

Def add a RBC cam gear, type s oil pump and then cams at the same time. Even the drag cartel dic's add a lot of power to it. Also the k20z3 trans is a good swap comes with a lsd and better gear ratio.

[@DanKlar]

Looks fantastic! I'm heading the same route with my TSX. striping the rear, leaving the interior front, half cage, suspension and some subtle engine mods to solidify its NA performance. Mines an east coast car with 263k miles and not NEARLY as nice looking paint and body wise. Keep up the awesome work.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Sounds great! Take your time and keep us updated on what you do to it.

[@FZERO20]

The guy with the TSX you can tell is a very open person. He reminds me alot of myself. Especially doing an oil change before the interview, that's something I'd do

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

He is a super down to earth guy!

[@goforbroke2]

A lot of guys who track their TSX run that same wheel setup with usually additional +10 offset. 17x9 on a 255/40/17 tire is the norm. I personally run a 18x9 on a 255/35/18 tire, 17’s are cheaper and the wheels are lighter so it’s the better choice if you’re serious about racing.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Either set up looks great. Thank you for tuning in and showing support.

[@goforbroke2]

@@AutomotiveAnatomy For sure, the tsx gets no love in comparison to say a Civic Si, but it’s a great platform to build on. Once you address the gearing and weight of the car. As you’re probably aware the stock K24 is these cars is so choked up, buts it’s a easy fix. The stock tune is terrible as well, legit shit tune from the factory.

[@performancepeeps]

I’m was on the fence on buying a 05 TSX but after watching this video I think I’m gonna pulled the trigger. Dope build so far. Would love to see him back when he does the upgrades he mentioned

[@keep_it_low_bro]

Hey Nequan, did you get your Tsx? If so I hope you like it, I love mine.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Hope you find a clean looking one.

[@TxMx214]

That’s a nice TSX, I’m a big Acura guy I myself daily an 05 RL and man best daily ever!!! I think (I THINK) those wheels would make that car pop so much more if they were color matched. Again that’s just me but I like they way it sits.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Color matched blends too much. He had silver RPF1s before and it did not pop as much as this set up. Thanks for tuning. RL is a great daily driver.

[@christophertorres1940]

Finally some more tsx content!

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

I love these cars man. I will try to find more.

[@blitz.cl9362]

I love this man i have a 07 TSX with a aftermarket exhaust and full cold air intake with oem healights and tail lights with a Mugen Wing it feels nice i love my car so much but i sadly have no tune and 207k miles on it

[@FZERO20]

Miles mean nothing bro. I have an 07 with a 240k and a blown head. I just did the entire job and then even ported the head. It drives better than brand new man. These cars will go forever if you really want them to

[@dannyjr7997]

This is a great build. I recently got me an 04 tsx 6sp with 190k on it. Plan to gut interior then Boost it. Has dark tint so no one would know lol.

[@whostachi]

super clean build the car looks subtle as hell big body sedans 💪🏼💪🏼

Sedans for the win.

Thank you 🙌

[@hyper8545]

He need them TL type s brembo brakes 😤 🤙

[@keep_it_low_bro]

I need those too with some blue paint. I have a Carbon Grey 05 Tsx. I think Re's are the best rims for TSX

[@MangoKev]

Damn this makes me want one. I’ve always enjoyed the tsx but was always been more attracted to the rsx. But this could be a nice daily to stop putting miles on the dc5. Always enjoy these videos.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thanks for tuning in to show support. This chassis is super cool to build.

[@AndroidDB8]

TSX has double wishbone suspension too. They handle great!

[@lgutierrez4431]

Nice love the oem plus look clean tsx that silver is on point

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thanks for tuning in man 👍

[@aznskrachmaztah]

fitment on here is def A1. I'd personally go a bit lower but it looks amazing as is.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

It looks great, thanks for watching.

[@jcummings9655]

Love it think its perfect the way it is and like that it's n/a eventually I'd like to pick one of these up as a 3 season car put it away for winter since I live up in maine

[@kevinruger8819]

The TL of the same year range looks very similar and the sell for super cheap…at least they did pre-COVID they where dumb cheap.

[@DylanandJazi]

You just gotta look hard I got my 05 tl on offer up and it was a used dealer car so they got it painted and the interior was taken care of and they also tinted the windows. I got the car for 3700$ with 162k miles December 2020 and now the car is at 186k still driving.

[@sikone831]

All the tsx needs is like 350 hp..it wld be fun and streetable

[@keep_it_low_bro]

The exact numbers I'm shooting for my 05 TSX but it's Auto. I like the fact I can switch between M mode and Auto with the slap of a left slap to semi-manual. Great for driving with the lady, not having to use a clutch but I hear 350hp is the most the auto tranny can hold.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

350 is more than enough. Such cool cars for street and track.

[@NOAHCASAS]

A T.S.X. IS JUST PRETTY MUCH A 4 DOOR R.S.X. LETS JUST BE REAL ABOUT IT OR LETS BRING IT BACK TO IT'S ACTUAL LOOK FOR IT'S BROTHER THE 2OO6 ~ 2O11 4 DOOR CIVIC INSPIRED OVER CAME OUT NICE AND CLEAN KEEPING IT SIMPLE THE BUCKET SEATS & MOMO WHEEL MAKES IT FEEL WITH A TASTEFUL LOOK HAS DONE SOME NICE THINGS TO THE CAR THAT MAKES IT HIS OWN THAT'S KOOL AND JUST ENOUGH KEEP IT UP THANKS GUS ✌🏼OUT

[@effingwrecked1917]

Not even close. Rsx is still way lighter even with a k24 and 2 extra doors. Tsx is more of the accord's and prelude's family never integra's and civic's.

[@conman7975]

@@effingwrecked1917 agreed.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

TSX over RSX lol Either way, they are both cool cars. Thanks for watching Noah, I had not seen your comments in a bit. take care man.

[@NOAHCASAS]

@@AutomotiveAnatomy YES I HAVE ALOT WAY MORE THEN I THOUGHT I NEED TO CATCH UP MAN I'M SAYING THAT IF YOU REALLY LOOK AT THE T.S.X. & THE R.S.X. THEY HAVE A VERY SIMILAR LOOK THAT WOULD MAKE THE T.S.X. A 4 DOOR TO A R.S.X. COUPE

[@franciscosoberano9741]

I’m guessing you like tsx because it’s labeled an accord In other countries. But I hear a lot of people say the Acura tsx is more civic than it is accord🤔. I’m assuming because of its wheel base🤷🏻‍♂️

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

haah you are right Francisco. TSX are amazing!!

[@elijahc7195]

As a TSX owner, it definitely feels more like a luxury sport civic rather than an accord. 🤷🏾‍♂️ doesnt disappoint tho

[@John-vg6ue]

yo bro i got a 06 acura tsx and i want to know if there’s a way i can lower it and get a body kit for it w/o having to worry about scraping , or should i j chose one or the other

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Once you lower it and add a body kit there will be some type of scraping. You do not have to lower it so much that you will scrape everywhere. You can just chose to lower it a tad bit and you should be okay.
