Yeah mine has 334000 it's still going original timing chain and I'm almost certain that it is the original clutch because it had 180 something on it when I got it and the clutch feels exactly the same as when I got it
SHEEEESH!!! 🥶 I got a Type S and when I’m going through the corners, I’m always sliding on the leather seats. Cloth is definitely the way to go but I’m thinking getting bucket on mine! Great video brotha! Keep up the great work! 🤙💯
I hate how people bash the auto rsx like it’s a great car you can still do mods to it to make it decently quick, it’s still a fun driving experience Imo
i got mine base model for $1700 and 85 ,000 little details but i had been working on those, new brake calipers, water pump, thermostat , radiator, and new tires and runs great
I use to have this car. Only thing I didn’t like were the brakes would fade after a while and no torque. Otherwise it was a great all around car. It was also quite inside. I now have a 2006 TSX, better car but only things I don’t like are premium gas and mpg city.
Wtf that’s nice my base 05 be shaking like crazy and I hear vibration inside. I already replace the passenger side motor mount and the rest are still good so I have no idea wtf is going on.
6800 for a base automatic in Idaho that's actually clean and only 106K miles on it NHBP not missing any bits has all the carpets trunk privacy cover rubber trunk liner doors have already been dynomatted double din stereo
Have a 03 base with 140k miles on in. It's a restored title but got it for 2 grand and in amazing shape. Still an extremely fun car to drive in the mountains.
i just took my 20 year old 2004 rsx base into the canadian rockies on a 2500 km journey. the vtec was amazing to experience at 140 km+/h going up the steep inclines. i rarely drive this car that fast and having endless highways in sight for the rsx to go 120 km+ for hours at a time was great for cleaning up the internals of this 220k km mileage car.
I got a 2005 type s with 96.5k original miles last year for $5,600 , I can tell you the type s is much more worth it , the power difference is definitely noticeable. It sucks you got the automatic too, these cars are much more fun with a manual transmission
I tried a manual type s too, and I agree they are much more fun. I borrowed this car from my cousin, I personally have a manual Mini JCW that's on the channel too :)
Love my 2002 acura rsx base auto runs great love the sport shift i don't like the driver leather seat needs to be redone thats about it. this will be a classic car to keep.
I also have the rattling. Thought it was passenger airbag near glove box but it's actually the top right corner past the AC vents. Easy fix just gotta wedge something in there between the windshield
Yes vtec kicks in at 2500, but intake changes geometry at 4000rpm, which feels like a little vtec, but it’s not a true vtec. The is engine is designed for economy and low end torque for stoplights and traffic.

There no 3k base rsx in the market now days. Unless you get a beat up rusted one that need to be fixed. I sold my 06 base stock for 6500. Best honda in my opinion.. never break on me for the last 10 yrs i own it
Damn 6500 for 06 base?? Sheeesh , I bought my 03 type s with 122k miles for 5k beginning of last year. I felt like they were only going to go up in price in the next years, but covid shutdown really sped that up

definitely a great first car in terms of reliability, looks and fun factor. Make sure to get a clean one tho, I know a lot of people beat the crap out of their rsx lol
I cannot for the life of me find a decent RSX, even in auto. There's one that's pretty much stock, 136k miles, silver, but with a cracked windshield, dent on trunk, and faded roof/ trunk paint. Guy wants $4000 for it, lowest I could bring it down to was $3800. Wouldn't mind $4000 if it were in good condition but then there are others who want upward of $5200 for theirs in decent condition. I've seen Type S's for that price but I don't want Premium or dealing with a manual in LA traffic for now. Just a commuter for work so I can maximize my savings.
As a daily the insurance and maintenance is so much cheaper on the base - eat that type-s master race - In the future I would simply spend the money to get a true sports car. Keep in mind mechanically the stock type-s is no where close to a true sports car until you spend thousands of dollars in upgrades.

Totally agree, the brakes are kinda crap even before it starts to fade. For more torque, I prefer driving it in manual so I can keep the rpm high :)

wowee "rsx" prices are quite low in the US. In Aus the Honda integra dc5 base is at least 5-7k while type s's and r's go for 10k+ and 15k+
Dang that's about double here!

What camera and filter did you use? It looks really good man
sad because you can’t even find a type s anymore for under 9k. thanks to the stupid ass hype from social media, etc.
What's the diff with premium and type S?

Base “v-tech” kicks in at low rpms i believe it’s 2200rpm.
thats not even VTEC. Real VTEC has 3 lobes on the CAM and goes on the high prfile lobe at around 5800 RPM. This is some eco VTEC.

I really like the integra/rsx, but base model doesn't have "vtec". It switches from 12 valve to 16 valve instead of small cam lobe/big cam lobe.
