Id suggest a glue thats less permanent than jb weld since you may need to remove those windshield trims in the future if the windshield is broken or if you need to re wrap the a pilars. Keep up the good work
Think blacked out the grill on RSX is neat idea Miguel give car agressive i wouldn't bother putting Acura emblem back on either RSX going slick with wrap too
@@MiguelDsm appreciate it buddy. It's Dyno tuned to 385awhp. Gonna do a few small things to it, but for the most part leave it alone it's put together well.
I used to love going on junkyard runs when i was into the 3rd gen camaros but it definitely is harder to find good stuff now. That car has to be a more fun daily than the toyota and I am confident that you will have it looking sweet soon!
Yeah the windshield molding are supposed to be siliconed on idk why yours didn’t haven’t any old silicone there . And mine gets around the same mpg but other people get 350+
@@MiguelDsm if it's manual and it's a base Acura TL then no is just regular brake. BBK only come with 2007 TL Type S. Or another option is a 2005 Acura RL. The two option come with brembo BBK.
If I fill from a full tank I can go like 275 before the light comes on and I'm running regular gas on my 2003 Rsx base I keep getting the 420 code mostly
dude love the evo, eclipse, and 3000gt. glad to see you are getting into the rsx. i have an x myself and had an rsx. idk if its an rsx thing or what but the fitment between the bumper and headlights are never the same. i tried multiple times 😅
The pick your part junk yard it's on riverside, ca by 60 fwy and pyrite st I went the other day , not so impressed about this one I preferred the other in ontario,ca
Can’t wait to see how the wrap job comes out! You gotta hit the junk yards when the cars hit the yard within 3 days or everything is pretty much gone lol
Your fitment issue more than likely comes from the bumper being aftermarket, they never fit right. Try and score a OEM bumper from a junkyard and see if it corrects the issue. I'm not sure on your gas mileage, I got a K24 and get 415 miles on a full tank but that's casual driving, if you're always on the throttle high reving your mileage isn't as great... It's coming along tho...
@@MiguelDsm also if your headlights are knock offs they can usually cause gaps. If you look close at the bottom of your headlight lense you should see some writing on the bottom, all OEM Honda lense will say Stanley on it. If not they are more than likely ebay replacements..
That gas mileage tracks ngl I have an 05 Civic SI (EP3 to make it easier), and it shares the K20 too. It always feels like my gas never lasts like it should!
Hey, I just came from your video about being a car UA-camr and I was thinking about documenting my journey, but its hard because I don't have much money. Do you have any recommendations on what I could post just to stay consistent? I see you've come a long way. Congrats!!
Start with videos where you don’t need to spend money to make. Talk about the 5 things you love, hate about your car etc. Look at other channels videos and see what you can do for free on yours. Good luck.
Not sure if rsx type S is the same but on my ep3 which is same as base rsx I've gone 398 miles on a full tank research I've done says gas light comes on when there is 3 gallons left so I've gone 90 miles with gas light on
Hola miguel oye te veo desde hace tiempo y por ti me compre un eclipse 2g empece mi proyecto y ahorita estoy atorado, ajuste el motor completo y ahora lo tengo montado el motor solo aue al darle arranque el carro se mantiene si no le dejo de dar marcha com la llave al momento que suelto la llave para que haga el regreso se apaga, sabes algo sobre eso o alguien que lea esto saben porque podria ser?
@@MiguelDsm 😂😂 just throwing the idea out there.... For future content. I honestly wish u had gotten the car a lil sooner cause I had a RSX I fixed up and gave it to my son for his birthday..... It was totaled out by the insurance co a few months ago on a rear-ended hit and run, I could've had any part you needed. I replaced all the gaskets, trim, interior etc etc. It was nearly mint when I was done - Alot of those parts are discontinuing 😕
@@MiguelDsm one small "mod" I did to the interior that I recommend was paint windshield pillars that frame the windshield trim black... Looked clean and it matched the rest of the black plastic trim. Idk why Acura left those grey
@@C_Cotto_83 Honda/Acura has been doing that 2 tone since the 90s, black interior with grey pillars, quarter trim and headliner.. it's a Honda thing...
My type s gets 270-290 per tank on 91. However, I did a full tank without hitting vtec. & I MAYBE GET 300miles per tank. Nothing crazy like 310+ FORSURE. Idk where these guys come up with 350+ miles per tank unless you shift at 2k rpm every shift. Just my opinion. & I have Full bolt on’s with kpro
Not a huge issue but you didnt put the grill right, you have to remove bumper and slide the bottom part in behind bumper, you'll see it has tabs for it, should improve fitment on that atleast :P
I swear employees get the good parts of the popular cars. IKQ is starting to be like a local eBay. Mofos charge for every little thing. Even things you can’t separate from a part
This will be a walk in the park compared to the DSM.
Sure feels like it already lol

Good video! Parts for the RSX is hard to find. Can't wait to see the new color.
Thanks Ghost!
Nice always Love the Junkyard scores very 😎 that you where able to find those pieces tho. 10/10 😁
Wish I found the rest but at least we got what we needed 🤙🏼
CLASSIC GOOD VIDEO MIGGY
Thanks Mitch!

Artic blue pearl, had one on my 02 type s and now on my 06 TSX 💪🏻💪🏻
Such a nice color
Super excited to see the wrap job man, I learn alot from your videos! Thanks for the fun content as always!
Thank you man! Already started and man is it hard haha
I seen you like a year ago at the ontario junkyard bro lol.
Really? Probably looking for dsm stuff lol

That’s what I saw with my buddies type s as well. He was at 360 for the full tank
If you want the BBK from the TL. It gotta be a type s TL! They come with the brembo. Base TL don't have BBK
I think I read that on the forums. Not even the manual Tl?
@@MiguelDsm if it's manual and it's a base Acura TL then no is just regular brake. BBK only come with 2007 TL Type S. Or another option is a 2005 Acura RL. The two option come with brembo BBK.
i’ve also gotten a couple parts from those guys at nonstop garage i knew that looked familiar
If I fill from a full tank I can go like 275 before the light comes on and I'm running regular gas on my 2003 Rsx base I keep getting the 420 code mostly
That’s around the same I get. Thought it wasn’t normal
Can't wait for more rsx content❤
Got you guys 🤘🏼
The best I got in MPG was 350 to the tank. But I wasn’t popping vtec. Lol
Damm guess I need to take it easy on the gas then lol

I’m starting to realize a lot of Evo owners also have Rsxs lol
yessir haha. totally different platforms but fun in their own ways. keep up the awesome work on all the rides dude
Need to look for a 08-11 civic si RBC intake manifold
Been waiting for this one 👍
Thanks for watching! 🤙🏼
👍👍😎
I basically gave up on junkyards, are there still good ones out there? It felt to me like all the unique cars get swooped up by dismantlers
It’s rare to find good stuff imo. You have to be actively going when new cars get dropped to get anything good

Sheeet im buying one in a few hours not sure if im gnna part it and swap it all to my spyder or restore the rsx

Konig ultra grams and already got front and rear lip ready to go 👌🏼

What’s going on with your girls evo it’s been sitting for a fat min?
Needs a clutch and flywheel
if i drive like a granny it can last me two weeks easy but when u use vtec it drains it fast

RSX’s can be super economical… as long as you’re not always cracking vtec lol
"Citizenship" 🤣
Bro 3 weeks there? There is Honda guys that are there the same morning it gets dropped to strip these cars 😂
Now I know 😂
Yellow?
That was in my top two choices! Stay tuned 🤙🏼

Yea cuz u be pull it everywhere if u drive under 3k its economical lol😅
Hitting vtec all the time eats gas i have gone 2 weeks on a full tank driving normal and not hitting vtec
