Not Your Mom's Acura: The TSX That Races Door-To-Door in GLTC 

Thanks for watching guys, If you want to support what we do here make sure you pick up some art for your walls: larrychenprints.com/

The owner of Spoon once said that the CL7/CL9 TSX/Accord R has a better chassis than the Civic and Integra. He said it just weighs too much so once it's lightened it's actually better. I used to run one and just with intake + header + exhaust + brake pads it had no issues keeping up with a stock E46 M3 on track.

Hard not to love a first Gen TSX

i wish this platform had more love its hard getting parts for my tsx lol

The CL9 Chassis won SCCA Endurance TC Championship 3 times 2005, 2007, 2008.

I love this thing soo much, you have no idea. I've been talking to my wife about building a CL9 race car, just to make like a US Super Tourer.

You can tell Larry tends to forget all the crazy touring JTCC cars

James is a legend, hell of a guy and a super talented driver! Happy to see you feature his TSX build Larry!

Damn, I literally just finished wrenching on my pos daily beater. Now I see this and its got my juices going again. A week ago i was ready to crush it lol.

Larry, my man, this chassis has racing pedigree, just look at the euro r for example 😕 heck, there were even factory race cars, not to mention the spoon, m&m, RealTime, and this badass one

There is actually quite a lot of love for this generation of Accord/TSX. The CL9 chassis is quite possibly one of Hondas best cars imo. The design still just about holds it's own today, for a car that will be 20 next year that's .quite an achievement.

Thank you for featuring such a unique build Larry! It’s always awesome to see under-appreciated chassis get some spotlight, especially with knowledge and passionate owners!

Glad to see a feature on this build. I’m trying to build a stream version of this car.

There's a lot of tsx/euro cl9 and cu2 Honda fans throughout the world, great video, I have a completely stock euro cu2 as one of my company vehicles, I also have a CR-V, cheap, comfortable and fast. Great video. Great to see haltech gear in there too!

14:32 that’s me in the red hat!! Super awesome to meet you Larry! Thanks for the stickers and the picture!

Love this thing! Go TSX Gang!

What a gorgeous track car. One of my favorite liveries of all time. I did a black/white digi camo style on an S2000, looks stunning.... now I gotta figure out how to get all the Gridlife class decals in GT7.....

I have always liked the body lines of the TSX

The uncommon stuff is the best.

For being a big heavy car that the tax is, this car is quick and dude can drive. I follow Kutil, I think that’s how it’s spelled. Car was catching and pulling on him. Well done.

Much love- jealous the TSX came with that suspension setup and the DC5 didn’t. Always the weak point on the DC5

I love the tsx and this tsx this particular one gives me Australian v8 racing vibes style looks cool

Love the TSX so much man, hondas hidden gems.

i so happy igo my self a 07 tsx and its so fun to drive

James is the man. Love his DC2.

Thank you Larry Chen for featuring this car once again -M/T TSX Owner

This model has been around racing for a while Larry. You need to check your history

I got a 04 TSX 6 spd and its a fun daily even took it out to Buttonwillow once gotta change that

The secret with the TSX is they took a sports car from Japan and labeled it a luxury vehicle lol

I saw once on the Nurburgring european doppelganger of TSX wagon - Accord Tourer, with cage and aero, fully track specced. That's the true oddball, with K24 under the hood obviously.

This cars are getting popular and hard to find and soon to be classic cars and collectible bc the k24 they have and i am glad I have my dream car

A lot of racing is about using cars that weren’t intended to go fast… like the 3 Series and 190’s in DTM, the original Mini Coopers in rallying, and Realtime Racing’s TSX in World Challenge Touring Car.

4yrs ago had an 06 auto TSX then moved on to a B18b1 with gsr trans EK sedan. Have a 2yr old now, wife just got a 2020 Accord 1.5T. I'm planning on getting a 06-08 JDM Accord type R aka USDM TSX 6sp!

Larry, you keep talking about "cars that were never meant to go fast." But that's a large part of racing. The cars participating in DTM, World Challenge GT, were "never meant to go fast." Cars such as 3 Series, MB 190, Mini Cooper, amd TSX.

We need to get Larry to 1 million subscribers! I don’t understand why he’s not there yet….

4:42 Integras with the trailing arm did this too. Ask anyone whos ever driven one on the limit, It handles more like a FR than an FF. That lift off Snap oversteer.

I love going to the track and being in a car that most people don't have. A TSX fits that bill!

Larry forgot about the Realtime Racing TSX team lol

Realtime Acura were whuppin ass with there tsx ,from back then .. so no doubt in he would be doing well in his .. iv owned tsx's n did the basic tune, and they actually pulled n handled really well shout to Truhart.. coilovers were great for the street

We have all the Manual Accords in Cape Town 😀

The TSX was meant to be a race car, the accord/euro R. It’s not an Acura TL.

LoL at talking about Will to James...

4th gen preludes have double wishbones all four corners. also very accord up till 8th gens have this exact suspension this tsx does. He’s making this car sounds ultra special and rare and it isn’t. Definitely a cool ass car tho!! No hate, I’m just autistic for honda stuff and am a tech at a honda dealership. But yeah this tsx has practically the same suspension as my 2000 accord v6 coupe. Just civic based stuff was trailing arm and other ones here and there. Fits are like that single beam rear axle with McPherson up front …..

Larry, I'm upset you know nothing about the 7th gen accords, but then again, I don't blame you.

This is what ever person in my town with a tsx think they have

Dumb question but is there any room for improvements with everything that’s done, since there’s a power and weight restriction

Wait, what?!? Not supposed to be a race car? Who forgot to tell RealTime Racing? This car with a K20C1 or 4 would rule SCCA STU.

Ayeee

Konig Hypergrams make anything look great 💪💀📦🔥🏁🔰🇯🇵

Love ur videos

The Tsx is a race car “touring race car” Honda Accords are just as much of a race car as any civic or Integra just a different class of automotive racing also there is a long forgotten Chassis that is a Honda Accord that was faster then a N1 GTR

Remember guys, he's just trying to be the fastest in a straight line.

What the wheel and tire spec?

She's a worker

Larry can you ask ktuned to remake the discontinued kpro dual ecu harness? For CL9/CL7 chassis

What type of intake is on this car?

dude!!! your filming, and the mouth breathers walking by like DUHHHH!!!!!!

Your mom drives an Acura. I seen her

What is the wheel and tire spec and brands on this?

are you still using honda gears in the transmission? Is it a secret or you can tell us a little bit of you recipes :p

I know that this might be a unrelated question, but I've been trying for a while to find out what's the title of the song that Larry uses for outro. Big thanks to anyone that helps.

Wheels??

Opening song????

Larry chen is surprised people build street cars into racecars

This guy is a HOUGHt TON of a time

Unsub for the chad that you interviewed
