FINALLY! The Honda I’ve Always Wanted | My First K-Series BUILD!!

[@mardistyles8875]

Only 16XXXX MILES man that's a young K series , not even a joke my 2003 rsx S is at 300XXX miles and still running like a champ

[@zeltrakk]

YES!!! Just fell to my knees at a local Walmart in joy. Fellow RSX owner as well! If you need any help/discounts on OEM parts, I work in parts at an Acura dealership. Would love to help you in any way I can!

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

I laughed out loud at this comment hahaha. Thanks man!

[@Mason-ef1ie]

i cant explain how happy i am i just bought an 02 rsx with 182k miles and cant wait to get some inspo from you

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Awesome! Congrats dude

[@jeremynotzen389]

They fixed the seat tearing issues in the 05-06 models. That's why there are two stitch lines, the 02-04 had a single stitch across the middle that would stretch and tear.

[@ajnunez117]

Dang, I bought my ‘04 NHBP RSX-S in 2018 with 145k now it’s got 230k, but I’ve loved and documented every step in the journey, here’s to another 230k, cheers!🍻

[@brandoncrider3697]

@@ALLDAYANTHONY You guys nailed it man! It was worth every second.

[@11200118]

I loved mine so much then somone ran a red light and there it went. I had the pearl white and I swapped the black interior in to it, worth every $. Best mods I did was clutch, short shifter and the magapower r catback. Ep3 airbag with the red sticker would look awesome!

[@DaNinja91]

I've owned an rsx and the ep3. I totally recommend adding hardraces reverse tie rod ends and roll center ball joints when lowering those vehicles. Totally corrects and dials in the steering for those chassis. 👍👍

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Noted!!

[@skyty0]

@@ALLDAYANTHONY I second this! Loved my EP3 to death but driving it on LA's pothole filled roads made me nervous with all that bumpsteer lol

[@wiltfongdc5]

SHG steering rack slider is an awesome mod as well

[@evylsalamie]

@@wiltfongdc5 it's a necessary mod for that feedback and control

[@Awesomeidiot69]

The problem with adding reverse tie rods is that it increases the amount of bumpsteer. I do recommend the SHG rack slider and RCA ball joint

[@accord_aero_r]

I love my RSX! I've had it for ten years, with 300k miles and zero plans to get rid of it. The styling still looks great, it's super practical, the interior design is one of my favorites of any car I've seen (double-DIN really helps it out, too), and of course the K is an epic engine family with infinite potential. Subbed to see what you do with yours. Mods I'd immediately recommend are to address the shortcomings of the front MacPherson struts. The "compliance bushing," the big one on the front LCA, is prone to quick failure just from how big the thing is and completely ruins the feel of the front end; check the condition of yours, there is of course the urethane (and probably spherical bearing) replacement options. Due to the front struts, lowering the car can result in bad bump-steer; there are steering rack risers out there to correct the angle of the tie rods, as well as billet sliders to tighten up the steering feel (the OEM plastic wears out).

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Awesome tips man! 300k that’s awesome!!!

[@jdmfreak22]

He goes by SHG Motorworks now.

[@xlAnonymouslx]

Had mine for 5 years n just hit 200k mileage yesterday lol. It has a jdm k24a but I'm planning on keeping this car forever

[@zionz1164]

Mines just hit 260k last month crazy how long these k series engines can go

[@JonHop1]

It needed a K24 for the factory.. The K24 makes the Dc5 a completely different car for the street and its a night and day better motor for daily driving. The added torque is sooo nice. I always hated waiting til almost 6k to get any type of power out of this car. The K24 fixes all of that. I have the best of both worlds too with the Type R K20A head and the JDM K24A bottom end from an RBB3 model. Using a custom 40 degree VTC and have the ported K20 pump so I am hitting 8500 with zero issues. Made 250whp/205wtq on the dyno.

[@evylsalamie]

I'm pretty sure it's been said already, but as a fellow DC5 driver: Poly bushings and the SHG delrin slider are a must especially if you wanna build a canyon carver. Everything else comes to personal taste and tuning. Can't wait to see what you have planned for your car

[@jngtruong]

Pretty clean for 189K miles. I had a 05 Type S as well. Was unmolested but had some paint fade on roof and lip spoiler. Ended up selling it and got a 8th gen FA5. Love the FA5, feels more powerful and has more torque. You should try a FA or FG for comparison. Nonetheless, looking forward for contents on the DC5

[@aut0fr0]

So happy to see you working on an RSX! Shifting from 2nd to 3rd in my 2012 SI is my absolute favorite!

[@kl3271]

Loved watching every second of this video! I'm an original owner of a 05 base auto rsx (I know...) but still love it because I had purchased it for an easy reliable commuter that could hold an insane audiophile car stereo system. I do look forward to your upgrades and plan on doing more on mine because I do feel the suspension can use a refresh. Original owner with almost 140k now 😁 nhbp with black cloth interior.

[@spazzkydyt3166]

Once you get to the coilover stage you should consider some Tein's, Skunk2's or something in that similar range. Truharts are decent "budget" coilovers as you obviously know but if you want the great handling you talkked about I'd personally recommend the Teins. More expensive but it's absolutely worth it, and I believe they do have a cheaper option too but the Flex Z's are absolutely amazing.

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Truharts may be the way I go. They are reliable, affordable, and punch above their weight limit

[@crizzquintanilla6826]

What you think about the revs 9 street racer ??let’s us know

[@JonHop1]

He shouldnt get coilovers on a Dc5... they should b last resort. He can easily get Type R shocks that are better than most aftermarket options in the 1K and below range and they have better shocks. They provide about a 1 inch drop and are stiff enough to handle corners well. You can get used Type R shocks in great shape for like $400-600

[@paco3245]

Get the Acuity 2way shifter for it, it looks factory but shifts like a dream..and also get the hybrid racing clutch master cylinder, it gets rid of the delay that the factory one provides..so you can shift much faster and easier..the combo of just those 2 mods makes shifting second to none...

[@Dcervantes243]

Anthony, I would recommend painting the whole front clip. If the hood and the front bumper are that bad the fenders arent going to be much better. Especially if its a pearl they will likely want to blend it.

I own a like-new the DC2 Titanium knob and a like new Mugen Fit diamond-cut knob.....but the brushed & blasted finish of this RSX optional knob is by far the best to the touch. 6-speed version is 08u92-s6m-200b and the 5-speed is 08u92-s6m-200a.

[@jds5243]

@ALLDAYANTHONY I own my DC5 ITR for 4y now and started modding it from the start. Bassicly it's the same as a type S. For bumpsteer don't waste money on inverted tierod ends or a rack raiser if u're not slamming it. I learned the hard way wasting my money on these. I'm running extended LCA balljoints, a stiffer SHG rackslider and bushings to increase castor. This did the trick for my bumpsteer. My ITR is setup for trackday's currently running a staggered setup with 255's up front with -3° camber. Adjustable tierods are needed for this amount of camber because the stock ones are a bit long. In the back i'm running 235's at -2° camber. I drive it accasionaly on the street and have to say that it torquesteers, tramlines and can be very darty. But it's predictable as you get used to it and has a ton of grip compared to stock. you just can't have a fast track setup and a compfy street setup at same time with these chassis. do your research on coilovers because the difference in spring rate front and back is important to let the car rotate as much as possible. I'm running 9Kg up front and 16Kg springs in the back and for the moment the stock (ITR) swaybars are fine. best of luck with your new car 👍 Excuse my english...

just purchased a black 96 civic coupe and having only owned a blue vehicle, I dig the black on these!

[@ACURACLTYPESLOW]

These like the 8th gen Civic Si 1st gen TSX and others, have a delay valve in the master and slave cylinder. Highly recommend replacing with the hybrid racing master/slave kit. There is video on KZbin about setting up suspension on an EP3 (it’s a blue EP3 and an Asian guy explains what he done to the suspension and why) you should give it a watch to get an idea. As an owner of many Honda’s/Acura’s the 7th gen Civics and RSX Type S suspension design is tricky to set up to handle, (especially compared to what you’re used to with your Civic) but can be set up to handle well. The steering rack placement is a big issue so research research and research! Super excited to see the content coming for this! (Also I know it will be expensive but you should REALLY throw an Mfactory or Quaife LSD in this thing while you have the transmission out replacing the clutch It will drastically improve the way the car handles/responds/feels.)

The EM1 CMC/CSC is a more reliable part to put on than the EM2. I definitely recommend an 11lb flywheel if you’re keeping it NA for sure it’s hard to describe how much better it feels. Hybrid racing shifter cables and an acuity short shifter are also, IMO, must haves
