- Here's an update on how we are coming along with the 2002 Satin Silver Metallic RSX Type-S 6-speed that I acquired from my neighbor Susan at the end of 2022. It has come a long way already and is currently being reworked by the wizards at Apex Wet Works in Phoenix. Thanks for watching!

Just curious, do you buy these cars, restore/repair them, and just hang onto them? I can't imagine that's cheap.
Tyson works hard for his collections
Very valid question! This stuff is crazy expensive (and I work 3 jobs to pay for it, haha). To put it into perspective, I'm spending about 5 times the amount I spent for the RSX itself to have the body work done. All said and done, many of my project cars don't break even financially. This RSX, my blue TSX, and a Legend will be up for sale likely by the end of the year. I am limited on space and resources. The joy for me is in bringing them back to life and then passing them on to another enthusiast. I admire the work you do as well!! Keep it up.
@@TysonHugie The reason I ask is because we do a similar thing, just in different ways. It’s awesome seeing what you’re doing and I’m glad you’re interested in bringing back these cars to their former glory. I get satisfaction in making these cars better than when I got them as well. I just get curious how different people and UA-camrs make all the moving pieces work time and financially. I appreciate the reply and keep doing your thing.
@@golfcon Definitely. Hope he can save them all. :)
Thanks for saving vehicles both of you rather then destroying like most
I have a totally stock 04 RSX that my dad bought new for my youngest brother and then it was handed down to my oldest son to learn on when he was 14, all my kids have learned how to drive in the RSX . Watching this makes me want to fix it up.
That’s awesome!
Coming along very nicely Tyson.
Thanks 👍
Coming along nicely.
Thank you!
I seriously admire your love and dedication for these classics. Thank you Tyson. 👍🏻🇺🇸
I appreciate that!
Makes me wish I still had my 05. I drove it for my job for 3 years, put 75,000 miles on it, then traded it for an 09 TSX.
Both great cars!
Very nice!
Thanks!
Looks clean!
It's getting there :)
Wow! You went all in with this one! Awesome. Can’t wait to see the final result.
Big time! Much more to come, this thing is coming out amazing :)
Looking great!
One of my childhood friends had one of these many years ago.
I just painted my windshield and roof trim on my car. I'm happy with the way it came out. Nice, subtle difference now.
Have a great long weekend!
Very nice, that's a good idea. And thanks - you too!
That so crazy how that RSX “diploma” has the 05-06 Type S wheel when it was released in 2002!
Probably the diploma program came out in 05 I guess.

Thanks
🔥🔥🔥
It’s getting there!
Wow really great work on the restoration! Thanks for your content!
Thanks for watching!
Another amazing job Tyson!
Thanks Marc!
Wow looks great and it looks brand new car again. Great video. 👍🏼
Thank you Josh!
While they are at it, see if you can ask them to fix the factory problem that causes rust on back quarter panels. Good luck.
We don’t really have issues with that here in the desert but that’s a good idea
Awesome video and appreciate the re-paints you e been doing. The most invoked restoration aspect of any car, yet the place you chose does awesome work. Great job being the caretaker of many 5/6spd Hondas, Tyson!
Thanks 👍 It's rewarding to see these deserving cars brought back!
Very good cars👍👍👍💣
Yes they are!
Car is looking good! Just curious, would you ever restore/work on a CU2 Acura TSX? Maybe a 6 speed manual version or wagon? I know they're somewhat considered a black sheep in the Acura community, at least compared to the CL9 generation.
Sure, I'd love to work on one of those someday!
It's looking good! Once it's done, are you gonna do what you did last time and show it off to the original owner?
Bingo, that's the plan! :)
Is Montblanc Legend Spirit the official Acura/Honda scent?😁…the teggy came out nice 👍
Haha absolutely!
would be fun to have the toy RSX repainted by the body shop to match the paint color of your car. lol.. Is the paint job on this car a single stage or a base + clear? I am planning to repaint my 95 Civic and one shop told me the original factory paint in early 90s were single stage. Not sure if that is true.
All of mine have been base + clear, including this.
@@TysonHugie nice! the better looking finish. Don’t know why people do single stage. it looks cheap to me.
For the fogs can't you just cross reference other hondas/acura to use the actual 'lamps portion, like a acura tsx 07 to replaces the generic rsx ebay fogs?
We got it all handled! I found the needed harnesses
@@TysonHugie oh nice i dislike and worry of wire harness quality, what I meant was the only thing that would be replica/aftermarket is the bracket/fogcovers.
The RSX is looking AMAZING! That shop does a phenomenal job on paint and bodywork. I’ve had the same conversation with myself about the curb rash on my wheels (original owner was a Curb Rash Pro, apparently) - but, as you said, there’s only so far you can go. Does the car need any mechanical work to stay in top shape?
Yes! In the last video I discussed the $3k in mechanical work it got, haha. These projects are always an adventure!
@@TysonHugie Did the $3K include the power steering system issues? The fluid's appearance and level were concerning....not to mention the whine.
Do you have any good websites to pick up replacement parts?
Some parts were from the dealer. The aftermarket headlights I googled. The taillight was eBay…
