RSX DC5 BUILD - Top 5 WORST THINGS about my RSX Type S

[@bigsiv]

Dope vid man. I got an Xiniyi solar windshield. It's coated with heat-reflected film which blocks radiation. It blocks 60% of heat radiation to keep your car cool in the summer, and 99% UV radiation to protect your interior. Great $200 investment!

[@JaviVibes]

Thanks man!!!

[@bigsiv]

@@JaviVibes anytime boss! Keep up the grind.

[@JaviVibes]

Yes sir!

[@Iceewoe]

I had the 3rd gear pop out. I used redline mt-90 and it shifts like butter believe me. I’m at 111k miles. Best thing out there for the trans.

[@JaviVibes]

Man i’m gonna look into it

[@Alex-p8r]

@@Iceewoe so you just change the transmission fluid to redline mt-90 and it made the 3rd gear shift smoothly ?

[@Iceewoe]

@@Alex-p8r I’m at 148k miles and still smooth

[@FANTE1k.]

This video is so so true man every rsx have these same problems man great vid !!

[@JaviVibes]

Yeah they do man 😖😖😖

[@warhammer3735]

Mine has no problems

[@keithhernandez4035]

Javi Vibes you forgot to mention about the water getting in the trunk, not that it happens to everyone but a lot off RSX’s have that problem.

[@alexquinones2959]

Selling my s2000 and might buy a 06 Type S . My first car was an 05 type s and forever has a spot for me.

[@alexz3692]

For my opinion I think you should keep the s2000 it be kind of a downgrade if you get the rsx but they both are good cars either way

[@alexquinones2959]

It’s high mileage, I’d rather get rid of it now while I have the chance. But you’re not wrong.

[@JaviVibes]

Yeah if its high milage is something to look into

[@MikeStewardII]

There was an Arm Rest opinion, it was an attachment to the center console. They’re pretty rare and hard to find, I’ve only ever seen one for sale.

[@JaviVibes]

Dang now i got to look that up

[@MikeStewardII]

[@vibora7795]

Those armrest came out around 2003 if i remember correctly. A guy made them and sold them on clubrsx, It was about $60 back then. Never felt i needed one as i always drive with 2 hands on the wheel lol.

[@dc5mac21m3]

I agree with all those I have an 06 type s...one thing I would add to that is the power steering o ring wears out and leaks...easy fix just very typical for rsx

[@BW-pw4rl]

Note for the transmission when they did the face lift for 05-06 they fixed the transmission issue. Might want to cop a 05-06 trans (might as well toss an LSD in) when yours goes.

[@JaviVibes]

Yeah thats an idea for sure

[@vibora7795]

I swapped out my 02 stock trans for a 02 type r trans and never had a problem.

[@cre8tivegarage157]

Glad we got to see it from your perspective 👍🏽 learned 5 things I didn’t know cause I never owed one

[@JaviVibes]

Little things you know

[@cre8tivegarage157]

The lil things make the big differences

[@carloschaqui8234]

4. Honda / Acura are very common for leather interior to rip 3. Any car that gets lowered will get a /-\camber and it will need to get adjusted.

[@_IRONJAW]

i have to be real lucky then, i have an 03 with 220k,xxx with no tears, it has the interior hatch cover too

[@roddyrich_2418]

would you recommend one for a first car?

[@jackbooher10]

@@roddyrich_2418 yes ive got a 06 type s great car

[@cameronsmith2854]

02 RSX all of this is very true. 3rd gear grind. Coilovers will dramatically camber back end. Just saw in the comments, power steering o ring leaks over time. Good luck folks ;)

[@kibawhitefang7176]

That Spanish is very heavy on you 😂 My brother 👊🏻

[@JaviVibes]

Jaja

[@DropperKnows]

Great video, I got an 06 type s and i'm never selling it.

[@JaviVibes]

Good to hear man!!!

[@a.f.e]

I dislike the water leaks 🤣🤣 but easy fix, also the sunroof rusting under the rubber!

[@JaviVibes]

For real? 🤦‍♂️ fuhhh dont tell me that dawg

[@jonnyweber3311]

Stop leaving your sunroof open in the rain. I have no rust at all around my sunroof or inside my sunroof. I have a 2006 RSX.

[@SoJ1RoTV]

totally agree with your number 1. i would go oem if you not turboing or superC

[@Campos_tsx]

I have a base model and I have leather

[@JaviVibes]

Sweeet

[@mackcummy4976]

Damn, on my daily here in Canada the rubber part is lifting up around there.

[@mackcummy4976]

@Kye Edward what?

[@johnzeitouni243]

I lowered my RSX and when I took it to the alignment shop they said they couldn't get it past -2.4 degrees of camber. I wanted like around -1, but again, they said they couldn't go any more positive. My coilovers have a camber plate and everything on it so I'm kinda screwed

[@yuhdira]

Great video Javi! 🦋

[@JaviVibes]

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@runner05]

I plan on owning an RSX in the future... I’m not trying to throw any shade or anything, but why do so many RSX’s keep the stock rims on? Am I missing anything?

[@runner05]

Tj Semeniuk Understood. My plan is to keep it stock except for PF01’s and an A Spec lip kit. Oh, and a Borla Cat Back. Pretty simple in my opinion 🤷‍♂️

[@JaviVibes]

I have no idea but I change them super quick if you see them in future videos

[@aaronhughes6640]

Tbh the base model seats are way better in my opinion

[@supjxy]

I’ve been thinking about buying that arm rest but they’re so hard to find but I did find one for $100 so I might just do it

[@JaviVibes]

Yeah they are some available still

[@cornbread1207]

are you a disciple of Jesus Christ

[@brianp5205]

RSX!?!? I thought all those expensive swaps officially made your car a Type R LOL

[@JaviVibes]

Dc5 to be exact lmaooo

[@vibora7795]

The only thing i did not liked about my rsx was the sunroof. Anything else i can swap out, a hard top is a bit hard to swap out lol.

[@cornbread1207]

what bra?
