  • Welcome back everyone,
    It's been nearly a year since my first video, and now my first review is being released.
    Today, I review a 2003 Acura RSX Type-S, a direct descendant of the DC5 series Honda Integra for the 2001 American auto market. The RSX is one of the best, cheap, fun cars you can buy for under $5,000 and this video explains why.
    The high-revving K20A2 Inline-4 motor with a redline of 7400 rpm and 200 hp at that RPM allows for an excellent driving experience. With a six-speed manual transmission and a 2700 lb curb weight, its no wonder that this car has been so popular among Acura and Honda enthusiats alike. The car, with its stunning looks and plentiful performance, is sure to amaze any crowd, jdm or not.
    As always, if you liked this video, leave a like and consider subscribing. If you have any suggestions or questions, don't hesitate to leave a comment below.
    Thanks for watching! Stay tuned, big things coming!

    Had an '05 RSX Type S. Great car. 210 bhp from 2 liters, no turbo. 0-60 in 6.0.

    05 & 06 Were the best DC5 produced, both looks & performance. I had a 05 DC5 with headers,exhaust,CAI, and Hondata reflash.
    Was able to put down 211whp and did 13.9 at the 1/4 track.

      I do believe they nailed most of the car. Would have knocked it out of the park and sold more if it had a slightly better suspension setup and also an LSD.

    Had one. Crunchy syncros and cat killing oil burning. No lsd. Better off with a Celica GT-S, FIST, or 06+ 8th gen Civic Si. Still miss my car terribly. Had 215 Bridgestone RE50 on that thing and a cheap, loud exhaust. Would swing the tail all over on bumpy roads because the compact rear suspension. Fun to keep it on the big cam. Looking back, the GS-R was more pure with the wishbones and big greenhouse. Miss those days.

      It’s actually a magnetic phone mount that fits into the CD slot of the OEM head unit. The owner of the car has this magnetic phone mount and a charging wire running from behind it.
      If you’re looking for a small magnetic phone mount, look for Wizgear mounts on Amazon that stick with 3M adhesive. Amazing mounts I personally use in my BMW.

      This is the wizgear I use. If you get this, don’t use the vent mount. Use the sticky 3M mount. Strongest magnetic mount I’ve used.
