I had a 05 a handful of years ago (technically my wife did). Bagged, 18x9.75. A spec lip. Just simple. Was an excellent car. Clean and simple. Fun car. It was an auto. But still a good platform.
It’s definitely the new EK/EG but they’re hard to find manual and since it’s an Acura the insurance for a 20 year old car is crazy but overall I love the TSX
Im stoked that u back one the RU-vid grind watched all u civic videos. Plz build another civic 🙏🏼 I recently got me a ek civic k20 and its a blast Much love for South African 🇿🇦
Been into Honda's for 25+ years, had every kind. I finished my itr project a cpl years ago and got the itch recently to work on another Honda. I picked up an 05 auto tsx, i just finished manual swapping it and I'm really enjoying it as a daily to go to and from work.
I’d say yes & no. It’s such an available car but you can’t build one for what you could build a EF/EG/EK say 10 years ago. Wheels and tire setups for these cars are also a lot more expensive. To me TSXs are still “new” cars lol. I also know you can’t base prices these days off prices 10 years ago i’m simply comparing price points on common parts and upgrades.
Had I not chosen my DC2, I would’ve been in a TSX. Sometimes I question whether if owning a DC2 is worth the trouble of finding the parts I want due to rarity and pricing. Wouldn’t have that issue with a TSX😭 so much availability and they’re so much more comfortable
Ive had tons of eg ek and dc2, recently picked up a 06 CL8 which is awd, the accords are just alot nicer to drive then the older hondas, cant wait to start modifying it.
There's one good thing about parts for the golden era hondas being expensive, thus making people not want to build them. They will basically last and be around much longer this way, instead of kids still in school buying them and ruining them with cheap cars, crashing them, or selling them to ricers lol
Tommy La hey bro I thought I heard you say a different time about the 6 spd. But factual and cool is that it's a authentic factory Euro thing. It's Honda over there. But where did you get your grille from tho??
Maybe out west? About 6-7 years ago, the WRX was the new civic but I do actually think the car scene is kind of dying out because Gen Z are not really into it. Well..they are into street takeovers..so any RWD car is going to get alot more popular. The drift tax on IS300s was high already..now its going to get even worse w/ these young fools.
the past year I went through a GSR swapped EJ8 sold it and got a B20v EJ8 sold that got a 06 RSX type s, sold that and got a k swapped EK. Now i just have a family car lol. not sure what the next project will be.
@@LATOMMYLA yeah I absolutely agree. I wouldn't even drive an auto.....I've vowed to never drive another automatic car.....at 42 that nay change eventually or if I drive a good paddle car but these.....got to have a clutch.
Same here I put those moog on my 06 tsx and year later they were squeaking.i been using 555 and haven’t had a problem knowing that they are made in Japan
