Don't sleep on the rear sway bar upgrade. By far the best bang for buck on these cars IMO.

[@RishMedia]

Couldn’t add everything in the list lol but definitely a good upgrade may have one waiting to install too

[@jxhern22]

Which one do u suggest? I heard u can use tl sway bar, not sure tho

[@RishMedia]

@@jxhern22 tl swaybar is the most common option I believe. They also have the progressive sway bar option too

I'm from Scotland UK. Got my Accord CL9 reflashed by Sergebo's partner in the UK, made the car so much better to drive. So after the tune I went on the UK Accord Forum looking for info on headers then to my surprise Sergebo actually contacted me himself asking if I was still looking for headers. So anyway had a long conversation with him and I bought his Headers and High Flow Cat just last week. They should be arriving in about 2 weeks. I can leave a review here once they're fitted to let you know how they are and if they are worth it. Next I'll probably get Fn2 or Ep3 type r gearbox whenever I have the money again lol. Great video by the way.

[@RishMedia]

I hear his headers are best bang for buck and perform really well! Was gonna get his 4-1 option before. I can’t get him to respond to my messages on Facebook even tho it shows he’s active 😭

[@mrwaqy]

@@RishMedia hmm don't know why he's not responding must be getting alot of requests from all over the world, he's a top dawg lol. Yeah hopefully they are worth it. I'm going to get it dyno tested after.

Serge Bo was really missing for some months. Yesterday he messaged me and finally arranged to send me the cable. Looking forward to the reflash

[@RishMedia]

Yeah he vanished lol but same here messaged me back the other day

[@cz8087]

Hell yeah bruh been here since the beginning you makin good progress man!!!

[@RishMedia]

Thanks for supporting so long!! 🙌🏼

[@Kantoh22]

I have Serge Bo's reflash and love it as well. Funny thing is, I searched for vids of people who had his tune back then before I got it, and your burnout vid came up. 😂

[@RishMedia]

Haha the beginning of all the Tsx content 😂🙏🏻

[@Kantoh22]

@@RishMedia I gotta say. Not sure if you are keeping this car in the long run for a while, but my NUMBER ONE favorite mod for my car besides the reflash, is the Euro R transmission. Its aluminum, does not get warped from the heat on the inside, has LSD, and shorter gears for quicker acceleration. The stock magnesium casing used to keep the tsx lighter tends to get soft warp on the inside, causing the gears to make noise on the inside. Happened to my old one. Honestly the casing could also just be replaced, and LSD could be added as well. I wish I still had the chill 6th gear sometimes, but not having to downshift from 6th, and still have ample power to pass is awesome.

[@azegulstarrider9675]

Serge Bo said recently that he will be making his headers again. These are much better built than PLM's. Perform pretty good apparently.

[@jxhern22]

What up with his online reflashes tho?

[@azegulstarrider9675]

@@jxhern22 No idea to be honest.

[@RishMedia]

Hmm okay I tried messaging him awhile back again but didn’t get a response. I know he’s busy dealing with ALOT of people on his ass about worked being paid but never done. I was supposed to get his headers but didn’t then he vanished lol.

[@RishMedia]

I have a feeling he may not do the reflashed for awhile here in US cause of Hondata and his replication of it maybe. Or could just be to big of a mess and causing some issues. Not positive with any of that tho

[@azegulstarrider9675]

@@RishMedia He just randomly popped up in a FB group for Aussie Euro's (TSX) when we were talking about the Russian headers. Said he would be starting production soon. But yeah. Who knows.

[@mrgold3591]

I had a CGP/graystone 06 TSX 5AT w/ navi since new and it got totaled by a red light runner back in Oct/19 with +175,000 miles. I had: - Aspec suspension - Aspec body kit+wing - Progress RSB - Heel-Toe Ultimate camber kit - Fastline endlinks - K/N drop in filter - ASA chrome rims with Conti DWS 06 tires - tint, clear bra, metal trim kit, all weather mats, cargo liner, and net Love the TSX; but, hated the lack of TQ (5AT and living at +5000 feet didn't help either). Replaced with an 18 RLX Hybrid and I get the same mpgs as the TSX with 4.9 sec 0-60 times with the 377hp/341tq on tap.

Niceee man love the Tsx’s tho this white ones staying with me and different cars in the future to come! Seems like you had a pretty solid build but the Rlx are pretty cool

i have a 04 tsx need to get it tuned but reading a lot of things about needing a different ecu anything on that

[@RishMedia]

Yes, you need to source a 07/08 ECU and can adapter for the swap, or send in your ecu to hondata for a reflash

[@jonathanmb99]

Great top 5!! Ever gonna change the color of the car ?

[@RishMedia]

I wanted to repaint it to refresh the white get it all the same shade, would be dope to go a different color tho

[@donovan1908]

Hey, I’m fairly new to cars but I’ve got an auto 06 tsx with a CAI, can I still get the tune? And what steps do I need to take to do that? Thanks

[@RishMedia]

You don’t need a tune with the CAI but you can get one yes! I think you’d have to take your ecu and immobilizer out to Hondata to let them reprogram it.

[@zmer1983]

Bro i need ur help 😭😂 I bought some 17x8 +35 offsett bbs reps and didn’t fit! They got stuck on the calipers so car wouldn’t move, Yes i put on spacers BUT the ride was shitty! The wheel kept bouncing like if i was going over speed bumps Can you recommend the specs i need for aftermarket rims? Im on stock suspension 2006 Tsx

[@RishMedia]

Sheeesh im not the greatest with wheel sizing fitment but you may need them wider tor being 17”. On my car the konigs they are 18x8.5+35 fit good when you go lower just have to roll the fenders out a bit

[@RishMedia]

But with stock height itll look like a monster truck doesnt look to great

[@benz9644]

Looking to reflash my 04 tsx is serge or hondata a better option and would aftermarket headers be worth it on a automatic?

[@RishMedia]

Your best bet is going with hondata, serge basically replicated their reflash. Also hes been mia so nearly impossible to get it done. Headers are worth it if you feel they are, ya dont mind modding your car. Least you can do is go dc sport headers for a decent lower priced

[@charlesmechling6214]

[@megacarne2676]

What’s your opinion on the bc coil over compared to tein?

[@RishMedia]

They’re both really good coils but feel like the bcs out perform the teins. Off rip think they just handled better

[@franklinrosario2993]

I have bc coils on my 06 tsx 6mt and they are far better than any other budget friendly coilovers. Ran D2 before I got BC and felt the difference when I swapped them! IMO

[@victorvalverde3337]

So my clutch is going out and i gotta replace it... what would you recommend to get ? As well as the flywheel

[@RishMedia]

Really depends on the build your going for, or looking close for stock. Alot of people use action clutch so maybe a stage 2+ lightflywheel or like a clutch masters fx250

[@TOMORROWSNOTPROMISED78]

[@RishMedia]

It usually gets plugged into obd2 port and you’re able to access into your ECU if you have a 07/08 Tsx. It wakes the car up adds a few little things and just makes it a better driving experience

[@jxhern22]

So I have to buy a new ecu for my 05, or can I take it out and send it in to hondata for reflash???

[@RishMedia]

Yea I believe you can! You have to take out the immobilizer and send the key with it aswell as the ECU. So they can reprogram it together

[@RishMedia]

Let me rephrase that. You can send your current one into Hondata JUST for reflash. To get custom tuning, full potential and control. You’ll need to buy a 07-08 ecu along with the CAN adapter and the Hondata
