Holy ish this came up in my feed and I was like damn this place looks familiar! Then I kept watching and I was like no wonder this is Gloucester County VA! I live 15 mins away in the next county in Mathews! Damn 9 years ago!
I've had a couple base model standard cars that were a blast on the back roads. My Cavalier RS with 2.4 Z24 transmission was probably my favorite. The RS had the base Engine with SFI instead of EFI 2.2 base. The RS had stiffer Springs, 15in over 14in wheels, and better 5-speed gear ratio but it was still a base. The Z24 transmission really peped it up.
Ive got an 01 Civic EX, that I swapped a 04-05 base rsx motor is, and I enjoy it very much. I also just recently built the 5 speed trans... synchrotech synchros, obx 1st n 2nd gear, obx LSD, and stage 4 cc clutch w/ lightweight flywheel. It runs low 14's on track right now...
@@AdamB12 Nah I've been messing with this thing for 100yrs, who knows how much little stuff I've done ha-ha. But the shop in the description I do run the majority of their parts for the major mods. They might can look up my receipts and see everything I've ordered from them if you ask.
Why so much hate? We all love our rides, especially when they are not in the shop. How about just be happy for a dude having fun in his whip? Cool car, man. I have a DA9 and I'm currently shopping for a base RSX.
DC502civic629 SO i have to say you've gotten WAY better at driving, compared to some of you're older videos... gotta be honest watching you not rev match made me cringe. much improvement!!!! an your rsxyyy is sick man! still proving the A3 can kick ass.
people who are commenting "dont have your hand on the shift will put wear on the tras" like boy you can only do that if you are shifting gear consistently and that what hes doing. it only a good thing not to do when your are not shifting gears that often
that's straight, hey im on my way to buying a Honda civic, any advice on what model I should get? I am gonna be driving long distances about a hour to and from work mainly all highway got any advice on which model is best for gas yet got it a lil pep to its step when it needs to go
he took weight reduction to a new level. if he was really serious though he was take the glass out gut the doors an the rest of the car an that dash too.
***** Ok well that's ok. I had a base stick shift for 7 years and now have the new 2016 subaru wrx which is super fast compared to the rsx. I still miss the rsx though. RSX resale price is really good! trade it in if you want a stick shift.Otherwise, enjoy it man. The RSX is special. Again, I drive a much faster car now with a turbo, but the RSX still catches my eye.
Kaiser yes but base does not have exhaust vtec. the motor runs on 12 vavles below 2200 rpm and will open up all 16 after that. it does not have bigger lopes for exhaust cams like the type s and type r
i have an 04 base, wanting to do the killer setup, canyou tell me what exaclty is done internally to your motor? i have the type s cams, type s intake, tb
man i didnt understand how mucj rev the k20a3 i was reading about the engine but i only found that rev only to 6800 but i see a few videos of u and saw that u rev more higher than that i think.. u can explain me that please...(sorry for my grammar i dont speak english so well)
for base model bros, does yours grind when going into second? Mines doing that, so i have to put into N then rev match it to go in gear smoothly. thats my method to avoid the grinds
Sam Adler nah stock, you can VTEC kill a car and daily driver a car, it's gonna have horrible low end and get teens MPG, it's all in tuning the stock motor.
What all do you have done to your a3? It’s sounds great. I have a base with HKS Hi Power catback, injen short Ram so far. What else do I need to buy to get it to run like yours? Sounds great!
Yeah you just need better bolt ons for power. Your car sounds good but I'm sure it's slow. The hks and injen are the worst performing parts on the market power side. You need something designed for the power I got mjr from the shop in the description.
You only have to get the Type S shift gate (aka whole shifter assembly) and possibly a different cable. Honestly people do add TSX 6th gears to the K20A3 5 speed and change the gate and roll with that. You can find more info on clubrsx.com
Anyways who cares those cars are designed to be beat up what kills a clutch is burning at high rpms , driving with foot resting on clutch pedal , and pushing clutch in when slowing down and letting rpm go to idle then dropping gear and releasing clutch to wake engine up to immediate high rpm. I dont worry people how they drive they car its there property i focus on my own car .
@@Rsxnation0 Well check the other videos on my channel about all motor routes or turbo routes. Then check out my sponsor out in the description of the video they built all my parts for my cars and I run a lot of there stuff. They are are local shop to me and help out with my builds.
How does the a3 handle these revs? I hear horror stories on the forums about dropping valves and weak valve springs on the forums all the time. I'm boosting my a3, but I dont wanna push the revs too hard.
the stock k20a3 with bolts on ( IM exhaust, kpro) reving to 8600 rpm. I'm getting a stock a2 ecu and IM so when I get the cams and rockers hopefully they shouldn't need any tuning but my question is, is it safe to reva stock a3 that high
American muscle=bring on trailer then breaks them off track I. trailer. JDM ride to track no break and ride off track screw American cars they build them to fall apart on purpose so you spend more money on maintenance and etc. JDM built for life no to fall apart on purpose.
I remember I watching this so many times wanting an rsx so bad and now I finally have one, k24 swapped 👌
Congrats!!
Im not sure if it’s still similar , but are you running a/c in your kswap? I wanna do it with my ep3 but i neeeeeeed a/c in this humidity
@@jackshayduran yep gotta have that a/c lol
This car isn't K-swapped it's an RSX they come stock with a k-series
Same bro same … base model but still fun as hell to drive man got some bolt ons and k tuned it’s not the fastest but she gets up
Recently picked one of these up. I was getting paranoid about the little bumps and weird rattles, this video gave me peace.
Haha if it's stock it SHOULD NOT sound like this at all. If it does you have a major problem. Return the car lol.
Damn man you were tearin up those roads, the rsx was handling very well.
Kaiser you’d be surprised how well they handle
Maaaan used to watch this video when I first got my type s…now it’s FBO with a full kit and coming back to this video brings early memories 🥹

Don't rest your hand on the shiftknob (even there's isn't any). Break that habit, and you'll be fine! Nice video 👍🏼

Damn this car works good, makes you want to get out and drive! Mad props!
Thanks!!
One of my favorite videos
Haha thanks man!
I like this video of yours just like the others. Awesome azz back roading. less traffic, more hauling
That's a dangerously small diameter shifter knob. The car looks pretty gutted.

No problem man!
What did you have to do to replace the intake manifold I keep hearing it has to be tuned or use a different ecu because of the IMRC valve sensor
I'm running the stock intake manifold but yes I am tuned.
@@DC502civic629 does it have to be tuned to swap the intake
Yes but probably not worth swapping power wise as you can see from the video
@@DC502civic629with those pulls figured you swapped intake and how do you deal with the imrc valve
Has anyone ever considered cutting the valve at the end so the air way is open and there wouldn't be a code thrown
Can i ask what mods u got on it or had
Full bolt ons from the shop in the description
I just bought a base auto. What exhaust should I get to make it sound like that?
You should checkout the website in the description to see everything!!
Is this a K-Swap ? Or an K20A2 build ? Where is the video of the walkaround or parts list ?
It's k20a3 like the title say lol. Yes there is check the video I do a full review

what mods did u do
sick vid man. i have an 05 g35 coupe and its quick but that rsx is mean. good on gas high reving, shit i should have gotten a type s

Jose Villegas too much to list on a comment, hit up the shop, they can shoot you an entire list, check my other videos too I have a walkaround
Ever bought it?
Yeah stupid fast lol
why do people shake the shifter everytime after they put it in neutral? do you forget that you just put it in neutral less than a second ago?
Just to double check, with a race trans it can't hurt to check lol

Because you gave them the wrong number haha
this is a base model right?
Umm yes read the title 🤣
what's some of the mods u have done if u don't mind
I'm just running custom bolt ons I designed, that's really it power wise.
I know this is a really old video but is this actually an rsx type s? It redlines way too late to be a base rsx.

I don't know but u are really messing up your clutch the way you downshift and espicially if u do that every time
