One of the best RSX builds i've seen in years.

It shows how much he likes that car, props to the dude 👌🏽

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

I completely agree Roberto. thanks for watching.

[@seraphdiscgolf]

Awesome video. I've owned my '05 RSX-S for over 12 years. I recently got myself a brand new 2023 Honda. This summer I am going to start replacing/fixing the RSX-S. This build is pretty much goals. It's so clean! I'm keeping the full interior though. Hahaha!

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thanks for tuning in.

[@vtec3070]

Dude, I appreciate these interviews, keeps me wanting more haha but keep it up! Love the street/track builds so much, take care!! ⚔️🤟🏾🔰

What a nice clean build! Love it. I'm like him in a way. After a couple of turbo setups, NA is definitely the way and he hit it on the nail with reliability. Can't beat that. Oh and I also say I'm gonna be buried in my Rex 😂 so it's not gonna be next to me like he said but I'm gonna be in it lol.

That’s hilarious he’s 100% on point, when I first got my DC5 2005, I had my friend who weighed, probably 160 in the passenger seat, and then his friend who weighed probably the same weight, but was just a little taller, but he was real skinny, and we went over one speedbump, and we just bottomed out, and that’s when I realize this is now a two seater.

Cool little Red Rocket .. nice belt👊🏻🙌🏻👍🏻

[@toysforboysrc]

Guys, do you know what would be nice?… If the people that gut their interiors, even though it’s painted, if they at least threw some fabric or upholstery over it to make it look more complete while also quieting up the interior a little bit. There is a fabric out there that is self adhesive that requires no Upholstery glue so that it can be removed without damaging the paint.

[@budgetbuild914]

Sheshh😍🔥🔥🔥 straight goals for my dc2 that red is so clean just pops for a first car he definitely a pro at it that baby badass definitely done right love the engine bay & interior is my favorite part

The special thing about 2004 - is that pre facelift RSX in the USA came in red (Milano) only in 04. 02 and 03 it was not offered. Regardless the Rallye red looks good as well. Do more DC5 reviews please!!

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thaks for that info Cody, we will continue to do some stuff with DC5s.

No you’ll still need a rack riser or preferably inverted outer tie rod ends, or a flat arm aftermarket coilover

You're not beating them with 290hp, atleast be real don't make things up. I have videos of me racing all over my IG, can gladly show proof.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

2 questions for you, why do you HATE it? And what is wrong with gutting a car?

[@mogulme6190]

@@AutomotiveAnatomy I think having a super clean build is ruined by gutting a vehicle. When I build a car I like it perform well but also be something that I can jump in and go in almost any situation. Driving a gutted car is often uncomfortable and draining after anything more than like 30 minutes. I get it if it’s basically a track car but for road use it just seems over the top. Don’t think I’ve ever driven a car and thought…. Hmmmm gutting this would make it so much better. Not trying to bash his build either, just would’ve been more impressed if the interior was still in it. Just an opinion

[@dc5adumb]

I completely agree interior is nice, but this isn’t a daily driver it’s a track build. I have a M4 that I use for daily use with full interior 😁

[@Zioni21]

Thats a sad ass interior lmao I would NOT wanna spend anytime in there. Honestly just buy a faster car??? I dont c the point in alladat
