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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 …..
