@Rish Media. I was wondering if you could give me your opinion i have a 09 tsx every once in a while my emission system will turn on with vsa power steering will lock up check engine pops up but it only happens every once in a while it happens mainly the first time in the morning when i go to start it ive took it to many mechanic's an they all say they dont see the problem i have a code that pops up when i check it an its po0339 any idea what this would be thanks for your time
@@steve-mb7us looking up that code it’s saying stuff about the crank shaft position sensor, so maybe look into that. Also check your ground wires anything electrical kinda related. Check your battery Whats the voltages sitting and what not
08 tsx grey automatic 110,000 miles. Oil change, brake flush, rear brakes, spark plugs, trans drain, wipers, and cleaned the throttle. Feels smooth as my second car within a year (bought a mom van first car) but happy to get this after seeing it on Craigslist that only lasted for 3 days
Our 2005 TSX manual has 256384 miles, original clutch, paint is perfect, fun to drive on curvy roads and the only mod was K Tuner 2.5" offset inlet muffler. No rattle, good deep throat sound. Leather is still fantastic, most every option offered except fog lights?, and Auto Lights. We will drive it until it dies somewhere at 400,000 miles.
I hope it does too!! Been putting out Tsx stuff for about 3 years plenty of past videos to watch! And a lot of current ones coming much love for the support and kind words! 🙏🏻
I purchased a brand new an CGP/greayston 06 TSX ASpec 5AT w/ navi off the lot and later added Progress RSB. I still to this day regret not getting the 6MT TSX in the same color combo sitting right next to my 5AT on the lot. Absolutely a fun car to drive, easy to maintain, very sporty, comfortable, and seems to look better with age. Drove it for many years and handed it down to our son for his H.S. and college car back in 2014. It ended up getting totalled by a red light running in 2019 with +175,000 miles (zero injuries to my son). We had all the usual issues with replacement of the alternator, A/C compressor, P/S pump & rack, snapped endlink (from being lowered and larger RSB), and A/C condenser fan. The 2.4L+5AT was rock solid and only required fluids, filters, and spark plugs changes the entire time. It would still be on the road today with +200,000 miels if it wasn't totalled. The 1st Gen Acura RDX would be another keeper/sleeper first vehicle with a lot mod potential. My 08 RDX felt like a TSX with more power, improved handling with sh-awd, and more room.
Ahh man that 6 speed would’ve been iconic to get but these cars are awesome, for some reason i cant stay away. 😂 But that’s unfortunate it got totaled thankfully your son was okay!
@@RishMedia I replaced the 06 TSX with an red/ebony 18 RLX Sport Hybrid. Another underrated Acura with very few on the road. It has the current TLX Type-S performance with better mpgs compared to my old 06 TSX 5AT AND it has room for four +6 foot tall adults.
My 2012 TSX Sport Wagon is a fantastic daily driver, and it's rare to see one on the road these days. If you can find one that has been cared for, I say go for it.
The key and fob have quirks too. Big negative is the parasitic draw of the battery from the hands free. Great thing is it's super easy to disconnect with no tools. Plenty of vids on it. I just replaced my starter I got from eBay for $85 brand new vs 225 in store (it's working flawlessly)
i haven't had any key fob issues yet fortunately lol, but yeah when i bought this tsx was getting the battery drain, unplugged the HFL and was fine since. but what brand starter did you go with?
My honest opinion after having it as a daily for 5 years is that it's just an okay car. I came from an EM1 civic and I tend to think about it more than my TSX. The chassis is a bit on the heavy side. Exterior parts are ridiculously rare and expensive! Normal maintenance is required, changing plugs, starter, alternator, tranny fluid flush. They have issues with axels, Bluetooth parasitic drain, AC unit failing, and burning oil. A lot of these cars are used as daily's and are very prone to rust in the Midwest. Finding clean ones are hard. Good luck if you do plan to purchase one in the future.
Definitely heavy cars but has a chassis and motor with plenty of potential, and really those are just the common maintenances that has to be done. Axles issues is really the passenger side mainly, and if your in east coast rust is a thing for every car lmaoo. All about finding what you like and can handle and making it better!! Thanks for your input though!
I've had my 2006 for 4 years. I feel the same "it's just an okay car". But also it was ahead of its time and is now considered a basic trim level car by today's standards. So, for a car that is almost 17 years old it's good and most importantly paid off :)
If you can find one YES. I took a chance on an 06 and it's the best car I've ever had. (122.5k now) Fuel efficiency, handling, sound system, leather heated, RELIABILITY, easy to work on, and fastest 4 banger ever w the VTech
comes with the best kseries motor they look great and for the most part reliable! that's why I got a second one lol didn't necessarily plan to but it happened.
@@RishMedia yeah! Only thing I’m worried about is rust but it has seen 80k miles so hopefully it’s not there. But it’s going to be kept in the garage for a while so I can touch up any damaged areas
I am impressed with Acura's engineering...464,000km with 0 issues. Sure, had to replace wear and tear parts like alternator and starter. The asthetics of the car looks amazing
Ever since I was little my dad was building preludes but I honestly like the k series platforms I've been saving my money to buy a tsx always had an eye for these cars
I don't think a slammed tsx has folks "braking their necks" as much as he may think. I had a cambered out 04 with fbo 10yrs ago and enjoyed it for what it was. One major issue was that when the alpine disc thing in the trunk takes a sh*t, you can no longer control air/heat.
Just purchased mine 5 days ago a 04 tsx ...great car always liked how they look...all im missing is a replacement middle console and we are good to go...😎
I bought an 08 TSX in Nov. 2008 as my 2nd car to own, Southern California here. Originally had a 06 Toyota Corolla 5-speed manual and lasted till 320k miles when I crashed but the car would have reached 400k easy. Parents bought it new back in 06 And I got the car in 2016 at 203k for college and life. I know what reliability is since the car was stupidly reliable, literately literally oil changes mostly for being already over 200k+. Anyways 08 TSX here in Southern California are very pricey since no rust and low mileage ones easily get too almost $10k. My 08 TSX had 119k when I got it for $8,500 and in only 8 months I’m now at 134k so I added 15k miles so I been driving it! It’s needed maintenance but some of I t done at home and some at a shop. Nothing that would have left me stranded besides alternator. Ohh mine is automatic. The automatic can shift using the knob for the transmission, there is no paddle shifters. Finding a manual TSX was impossible in Southern California, I wish I had found one since I already know manual from 4 years of driving the Corolla.
Forreal they’re becoming a lot harder to come by clean atleast and not as modified. Especially 6 speeds and they kinda sell like hot cakes. Atleast you’ve gotten the better year! I paid $5500 for this one 132k miles 08 6 speed Last one was a 04 arctic blue 6 speed fully loaded, 113k miles basically garage kept all its life. That one I bought for $6700 was such a beauty!
Aight, I just found your stuff recently, but cool vids, and you mentioned this, but super super easy to work on, I drive an 04 tsx, it’s the auto 😭, it drives fine, and it has the bump shifter which is nice, cause you can still control stuff decently well even without a clutch, super great vids btw 😊
Yeah the autos can be fun too! Never driven one myself but have a buddy with a boosted one and couple people do build their autos. I appreciate the love and kind words! 🫡 Videos will keep flowing and even better soon
I have an 08 tsx that I bought in 2017 with 60k miles on it for 10k… it’s now got 225k! It’s not my daily anymore so I’m thinking of squeezing out some more HP out of the ol k24 engine. Everything is stock now except for intake and I was very surprised at how much of a difference that made.
Yuppp and if you want more I’d highly suggest getting a hondata give yourself a reflash and boy does the tsx wake up lol. Wish I came like that from factory, sounds like you have a solid tsx though for awhile!
Not sure if this applies to later models, but the 04 auto still gives you a sequential manual option. It does lack a 6th gear, but you can still control your gears yourself.
Im gonna say one thing about Meteor Silver Metallic as well through my experience. The color was made for 2 years. And since it was made the first 2 years, if you need a MIRROR... Its tough to get, especially if its heated, since it was made in that color for ONE year. I have a 2005 with heated mirrors and it wad a pain in the ass locating the mirrors when someone hit my driverside. Also, the 05 grey driver seat is TOUGH to get. Why? Its the only power TSX seat besides the 04 without the memory option, and in 05 they corrected the driver seat sliding slightly while braking hard. Had my TSX since 2013, and LOVE them. If I could do it again, I would look for a dark blue 06 TSX in a 6 speed manual probably. I love my 05 though, and I have added most 06 parts to it bolt-on wise, and interior wise. LOVE THE CONTENT. Sorry for the long ass message.
Ayeee that’s some good info/facts I didn’t really know about lol I really love the dark blue color aswell! I’d say try to get the 07-08 so you wouldn’t have to do a ecu swap! But these cars are great overall, a lot to get done for mine😅 and naaa I appreciate these kind of messages a ton 💪🏻
@@RishMedia Thank you man! If I can help with any future issues anyone here may have, I will! Not to mention, I'll be learning myself! Also thanks for the discount on my new exhaust coming soon! Ended up getting the fujitsubo legalis r, since I am a bit older and dont want it too loud. 😂🤣
@@Kantoh22 Ayee awesome to hear looking forward to your comments in the future! Thats great! Nice to see people actually using the code first person to let me know 😅 Thank you for the support!
My first non American car. 07 TSX. I'm absolutely in love. Another common issue is, if the front bumper cover gets even a little compromised, it just falls apart. I'd appreciate any advice on some aftermarket front ends. Thanks. Great videos on this channel.
@@RishMedia Thanks for the reply. The front bumper "cover" the piece(s) everything below the grill and headlights. Contains the fog lights. That whole piece wants to come off. Swings from the center connection only. Plus its all scratched up. Good piece to upgrade.
My first car was my dads hand-me-down TSX he bought as a mid life crisis car. First new car he bought for himself. He bought it new off the showroom floor back in 2004 and it has remained timeless to this day. But as people started to molest them, I started to lose interest. They were a great looking vehicle from the factory.
They are a great looking car for its age/year to this day people get surprised when I told them it’s a 04 or 08 lol! But that’s why I’m trying to represent and put a good name out for the Tsx’s gotta treat them right!
I have a 2011[2.4 AT} with 95.000 miles now.I had it from new.Problems 0.I mean 0.Mobil 1 0-20,mobil 1 filter, every 6-8000 miles ,air filter and cabin filter every 30.000 miles,transmition flush every 30.000 miles.New brakes and rotors at 70.000,new tires at 70.000[from Michelins to Goodyear Assurance].New battery in 2019.Coolant flush at 80.000,new brake fluid at 70.000.This is it and this is all.31.5 mpg combined.Never let me down.This is the best car ever made.Aha,I forgot.I had to change the windshield wipers[lol]...Go with AERO,they are perfect for Acura TSX.Spray the rubber bushings and the suspension with Wurtz film and rubber care[from Wurtz]Spray HHS K or HHS plus on the suspension joints now and then...
@@RishMedia my cars never visited a dealership.Only for recalls or crazy difficult stuff like timing belt replacement.The TSX is one of the easiest cars to work on.My other car is a vw golf TDI dsg EA 288 engine.Not so work to work on that one,LOL.Thank you,I loved your review.
@@bobratu9029 exactly! These cars are pretty straight forward unlike German engineering lol! That’s why I’m not ready for a bmw or something whole different set of skills and problems. I appreciate your checking out the video and leaving feedback really means a lot! 🙏🏻
I recently followed you and I recently bought an acura tsx 2004 and I am changing it for little things since the person who had it did not fix it and I never use it again for things that rusted and others got covered and broke and I like everything you talk about and you do in your acura, but there is something that I still can't figure out where a noise is coming from and I have no idea what it could be is like a little knock it feels and it comes under the engine or I don't know the reality, I'm not a mechanic, but I just it does when I turn it on in the morning and start it, but then it doesn't happen, I think I'll take it to a mechanic but the mechanics (some) turn out to change what it isn't and charge more
Hey thanks for watching the channel, best of luck on the tsx build journey! The cold start knock could be something to do with the tensioner idler pulley, or also timing chain rattle from the Vtc cam gear, that tends to make noise at cold starts primarily. But could very well be something else hard to say without seeing the vehicle.
Should you buy a TSX/Honda accord type S? , YES YOU SHOULD RIGHT NOW. put a dual exit exhaust 63mm - 57mm preferably and a 101mm exhaust tips. do a reflash and hit vtec at 4200rpm, Make atleast 160KW/ 260NM. that is awesome to roll the streets if you wanna make nice power for an N/A motor. in my opinion it slaps nice on a Type R rim with coil overs. money worth spending
Good ass daily I’ve also boosted mine on 5psi to be a little more fun. Not a race car but all my cars are boosted 😂 also a super clean car. I can’t have a k series without a build on it.
@@RishMedia Yeah man stock engine. Did a compression check and engine was healthy so I decided to boost. It’s my daily so I didn’t want to go crazy and do a full build on it.
Little more up there on mileage but if it’s been well taken care of looks clean etc then miles aren’t this biggest thing. Sounds like it could be a good daily especially manual but assuming it’s auto
famm i was buying a phone @Verizon and somehow I brought up i was looking for a car she showed me out back she was trying to sale her car and it was a 06 Acura it was god bro and let me tell you I had no idea what I was getting into , all I know is I’m gonna go crazy with this car
@@RishMedia lol idek bro 😂 , it’s a tsx that’s all I know tbh .. but I plan on getting into it. it’s my first car ! And tbh i wouldn’t ask for another y’all on here showing me the potential of these cars and i deadass didn’t even know I would be interested until now
For the first gens 07-08 the best to get cause of the ECU and motor 06 has the better motor aswell just not the ECU for tuning. 04-05 have the slightly weaker motor and also no tuning capability without swapping ECUS. The 2nd gens I really couldn’t say to much with the different years but I’d assume 2010 would be better. Cause 09 being the first year they may have worked out some flaws
Thanks man! And honestly I have a biased opinion I like my cl9s more 04-08. Never have a second gen they’re not bad cars or looking I just prefer the Cl9 overall and more modding potential
I'm looking around and I can't find either a 1st gen TSX or 7th gen US version Accord anywhere with a manual transmission. I'd gladly take either one. You mentioned the unreliability of the auto trans in these cars. From the info I've gathered, it sounds like they might've fixed that issue in '07 with the Accord if I'm not mistaken. If that's the case, would that then apply to the TSX as well? Are the manual versions of these cars that rare or are people just not selling them?
The manuals are definitely becoming alot harder to come by and clean at that. Honestly i dont think the Auto trans are that bad, but if its never been maintained then probably wont last as long. Alot say if the fluid wasn’t changed for awhile probably best to leave it cause it’ll cause more harm then good. Theres quite a few boosted auto tsx aswell. The manuals are getting more rare each day, especially 07-08s certain combos.
@@RishMedia the person who hit me said they didnt have insurance so i sold the whole car to someone on the honda/acura fb page and then my insurance sent a letter a week later saying the person at fault ended up having insurance
Saw a 2012 Manual Special Edition TSX for 14k pre tax (live in California) and 62k miles and honestly want it so bad. I have a ‘08 hybrid Civic rn but I don’t know if I should pull the trigger on the TSX
They’re nice I almost considered a specia edition if it was a v6 option I’d jump right on it. But I really prefer my cl9s cause if the look and more supporting mods. Maybe sell the hybrid and buy the Tsx?
I'd love this as a 3 season daily. Decent MPG, 200~ HP, manual, and good ole reliable Honda. Hey I'm just curious but what MPG do you average? I know it's not all about MPG but smiles per gallon but this would be the fun daily, so it's somewhat a concern. I used to daily a Mazdaspeed 6 and damn 17-18mpg getting 250-260 miles per 17.5 gallon tank sucked my wallet dry.
They’re great daily’s! Of course a little more expensive as you have to use premium but I was a lot of pedal to the metal. I think I was around 19-22 MPG but I know people who get in the 30s all about how you drive too 😅
Really depends on preference what your looking for and all. Is the tsx 6 speed if so not a bad deal being a 08 too. Lexus is always a good car aswell but the es300 seems more like a daily driver kind of thing.
@@RishMedia On the website it says “Engine 2.4L I4 and Transmission Automatic 5-Speed” I don’t know much about cars so please bear with me if I ask a couple more questions. Thanks!
It's just like a Honda Accord', IT is a Honda Accord' a Better looking one 🙂 vs the triangular headlight having ones we got here for 03-07 Honda Accord (Honda inspire" else where)
The TLs have the jseries so off rip it’s basically a faster heavy body. But i personally like the tsx look more and cant go wrong with a k24! Really your preference man, just do your research on them prior what goes bad see if its been changed etc.
Of course man it’s what I love to do! And it really depends on how you drive, it’d definitely take a bit more on gas aswell we use premium gas. Nonetheless still great! I just have a heavy foot and 6 speed 😂
about to check out an 07 acura and same color as yours for 5.6k with 160k miles and the body is clean other than some little black marks should i go for it?
They’re great cars! But keep in mind the CU2 are great but have more of a limited platform when it comes to mods, I personally just love the Cl9 body and platform more!
They’re both pretty good and reliable cars, with the Lexus it may turn out more expensive not entirely sure how that platforms looking like. Thanks though man Tsx are great and was my first actual car too
I have a 06 auto with 158k miles running great ! Just not sure why it’s shaking when I hit about 50-55 miles per hour . I tried a alinement but still does it . Anyone know why? And you should tint your windows it would change your car so much!!
Have you tried wheel balance and where do you feel the shaking/coming from? Could me a mixture of things like bad control arm, maybe a axle giving play.
If your lenses are haze polish them up but you may just need better and brighter white output bulbs. Head lights tho can go wrong with the clear depos on eBay
Hey good news .. i ddnt buy the one wit 20000 miles ..but i bought an 06 tsx automatic with 160000 miles.. dark grey color no accidents.. but it came with an engine code p040 someting that says is the cam senssor and vsa cluster light.. .. and i replace that senssor and i ddnt fix problem .. i was waching alot videos and i just finally found that was a timing chain streched .. it was my first expirience replacing a timing chain with some normal not mecanic tools.. and guees wath.. i fix the code and vsa light from the cluster 🤗🤗🤗 and guess wath i pay for the car 1600 dollars .yes 1600 dolars is an amasing car.. i replace engine oil transmission fluid new ngk spark plugs new serpentine belt and man this tsx is amazing it works with out any vibration like a kiten sleeping😸 i was looking for a tsx just like this for ab 2 years .. and finally i got it all black interior factory hid ligts fog lights.. gps radio leater headed seats oo man im so happy .. good luky if you guys have one tsx .. cus 1 they to expensive with high mileage or 2 very modificated.. and this is whole stock untoched .. 😇😇😅🤣im so happy

@@RishMedia my tsx is automatic but they are still going up in price bc i can use it as stick shift and every time I get asks is i am saling my car and to be honest i will never sale it bc is the king of my family I only use him in the weekends
Would love to have one as a second car, unfortunately finding one in manual in decent condition and for a fair price is pretty hard in my area. Might settle for an auto. Anyone know if its at least decent?
Almost but not exactly the 06-08 have more airflow in the runners, the better cams, small but noticeable differences in some cases. Must have mod differences, lacking maintenance or driver mod.
@@ApexPred0226 i personally think hondas way more reliable then nissan, but in the end it’ll be personal preference. Id see if you can get the tsx down in price atleast the 4k range since It being a auto and 2004. The ideal years are 06-08 for the improved features/engine 07/08 for tuning capabilities without swapping ECUs

My honest opinion after having it as a daily for 5 years is that it's just an okay car. I came from an EM1 civic and I tend to think about it more than my TSX. The chassis is a bit on the heavy side. Exterior parts are ridiculously rare and expensive! Normal maintenance is required, changing plugs, starter, alternator, tranny fluid flush. They have issues with axels, Bluetooth parasitic drain, AC unit failing, and burning oil. A lot of these cars are used as daily's and are very prone to rust in the Midwest. Finding clean ones are hard. Good luck if you do plan to purchase one in the future.
Definitely heavy cars but has a chassis and motor with plenty of potential, and really those are just the common maintenances that has to be done. Axles issues is really the passenger side mainly, and if your in east coast rust is a thing for every car lmaoo.
All about finding what you like and can handle and making it better!!
Thanks for your input though!
I've had my 2006 for 4 years. I feel the same "it's just an okay car". But also it was ahead of its time and is now considered a basic trim level car by today's standards. So, for a car that is almost 17 years old it's good and most importantly paid off :)

I got a 2008 Acura Tsx, milano red with ebony interior. I still love driving it till this day and plan to keep it for a while.
Hell yeah awesome daily driver weekend driver, track car whatever you want it to be!
If you can find one YES. I took a chance on an 06 and it's the best car I've ever had. (122.5k now)
Fuel efficiency, handling, sound system, leather heated, RELIABILITY, easy to work on, and fastest 4 banger ever w the VTech
I raced an older mustang on a straightaway and she was ready... Burned him with his gf in the car 🤣
comes with the best kseries motor they look great and for the most part reliable! that's why I got a second one lol didn't necessarily plan to but it happened.
I'm picking up a white TSX manual transmission tomorrow! Can't wait!
Hell yeah!! Is it black interior aswell?
@@RishMedia yes sir! The leather is pretty beat but ain't nothing some seat covers can't cover up lol
@@redalert206 hell yeah dude!!
my dad has a 07 TSX, solid first car, and my dad let me do a crossover like 3 days ago, it was fun!
Nicee!! They’re definitely a fun car not the fastest but aye it brought me into the car scene and making RUclips videos!
Got my 07 coming off my transporters truck next week once the blizzard clears from PA, looking forward to building it.
Hell yeah!! You’ll love it man, is she a 6 speed?
@@RishMedia yeah! Only thing I’m worried about is rust but it has seen 80k miles so hopefully it’s not there. But it’s going to be kept in the garage for a while so I can touch up any damaged areas
@@RishMedia I added you on Facebook from the TSX group. Hope to be in touch with you cause I’ll have a few questions about the car and parts for it.
@@xTruthxWithinx niceee some low mileage! Probably a little rust but shouldn’t be bad!
@@xTruthxWithinx and sounds good man shoot me questions any time
I am impressed with Acura's engineering...464,000km with 0 issues. Sure, had to replace wear and tear parts like alternator and starter. The asthetics of the car looks amazing
Ever since I was little my dad was building preludes but I honestly like the k series platforms I've been saving my money to buy a tsx always had an eye for these cars
Hell yeah man honda game and k series are fun! Tsx is a great car just heavy compared to others like the Fa5 or rsx type s
I don't think a slammed tsx has folks "braking their necks" as much as he may think. I had a cambered out 04 with fbo 10yrs ago and enjoyed it for what it was. One major issue was that when the alpine disc thing in the trunk takes a sh*t, you can no longer control air/heat.
I mean its happened to me plenty everyone enjoys different cars maybe your area wasn’t as honda appreciated. But yeah the older technology gets booty
My 2005 tsx has been great daily driver 228,000 miles on it the 2.4 engine is bulletproof
They’re definitely great daily’s, just got to treat them right and could last forever!
Just purchased mine 5 days ago a 04 tsx ...great car always liked how they look...all im missing is a replacement middle console and we are good to go...😎
Which middle console sir? If it’s with the arm rest I have the portion but without the arm test cause it broke off lol..
Still parting out my 2004 Tsx
still have it? looking for a replacement for my cruze 😂
I bought an 08 TSX in Nov. 2008 as my 2nd car to own, Southern California here. Originally had a 06 Toyota Corolla 5-speed manual and lasted till 320k miles when I crashed but the car would have reached 400k easy. Parents bought it new back in 06 And I got the car in 2016 at 203k for college and life. I know what reliability is since the car was stupidly reliable, literately literally oil changes mostly for being already over 200k+. Anyways 08 TSX here in Southern California are very pricey since no rust and low mileage ones easily get too almost $10k. My 08 TSX had 119k when I got it for $8,500 and in only 8 months I’m now at 134k so I added 15k miles so I been driving it! It’s needed maintenance but some of I t done at home and some at a shop. Nothing that would have left me stranded besides alternator. Ohh mine is automatic. The automatic can shift using the knob for the transmission, there is no paddle shifters. Finding a manual TSX was impossible in Southern California, I wish I had found one since I already know manual from 4 years of driving the Corolla.
Forreal they’re becoming a lot harder to come by clean atleast and not as modified. Especially 6 speeds and they kinda sell like hot cakes.
Atleast you’ve gotten the better year! I paid $5500 for this one 132k miles 08 6 speed
Last one was a 04 arctic blue 6 speed fully loaded, 113k miles basically garage kept all its life. That one I bought for $6700 was such a beauty!
Great video 🔥🔥 took me 3 years to find a tsx 06 mt . Love these cars .
Woooo sounds like worth the wait though, had to get the right one 💪🏻🔥
Aight, I just found your stuff recently, but cool vids, and you mentioned this, but super super easy to work on, I drive an 04 tsx, it’s the auto 😭, it drives fine, and it has the bump shifter which is nice, cause you can still control stuff decently well even without a clutch, super great vids btw 😊
Yeah the autos can be fun too! Never driven one myself but have a buddy with a boosted one and couple people do build their autos.
I appreciate the love and kind words! 🫡
Videos will keep flowing and even better soon
I have an 08 tsx that I bought in 2017 with 60k miles on it for 10k… it’s now got 225k! It’s not my daily anymore so I’m thinking of squeezing out some more HP out of the ol k24 engine. Everything is stock now except for intake and I was very surprised at how much of a difference that made.
Yuppp and if you want more I’d highly suggest getting a hondata give yourself a reflash and boy does the tsx wake up lol.
Wish I came like that from factory, sounds like you have a solid tsx though for awhile!
300,000 kms on my rusty TSX and i beat on it everyday !!! best daily driver ive owned
Sounds like a grand ole time! 💪🏻👏
Just got a 2011 TSX for my first car super excited

If it runs good feels good and got a good price I say send it!
Thanks bro . Made my decision!
Love to hear it!! 💪🏻😈
Not sure if this applies to later models, but the 04 auto still gives you a sequential manual option. It does lack a 6th gear, but you can still control your gears yourself.
Of course can still have your semi manual type of fun but just doesn’t hit the same. Personally haven’t driven a auto yet.
@@RishMedia oh absolutely. It doesn't hit the same. I would have preferred a manual too. (family didn't want to deal with manual)
@@challacustica9049 maybe in the future you can snag one up!
I had a 2004 white pearl tsx. Crashed it recently, loved the car and would totallywould get another
That’s why I got another! Couldn’t pass up on a great car
Just subscribed and I agree! A 6 speed TSX is a great car, I own a 2004 6 speed. The second s in chassis is silent my friend.
Thanks for the support homie means a lot!
Im gonna say one thing about Meteor Silver Metallic as well through my experience. The color was made for 2 years. And since it was made the first 2 years, if you need a MIRROR... Its tough to get, especially if its heated, since it was made in that color for ONE year. I have a 2005 with heated mirrors and it wad a pain in the ass locating the mirrors when someone hit my driverside. Also, the 05 grey driver seat is TOUGH to get. Why? Its the only power TSX seat besides the 04 without the memory option, and in 05 they corrected the driver seat sliding slightly while braking hard. Had my TSX since 2013, and LOVE them. If I could do it again, I would look for a dark blue 06 TSX in a 6 speed manual probably. I love my 05 though, and I have added most 06 parts to it bolt-on wise, and interior wise. LOVE THE CONTENT. Sorry for the long ass message.
Ayeee that’s some good info/facts I didn’t really know about lol I really love the dark blue color aswell! I’d say try to get the 07-08 so you wouldn’t have to do a ecu swap!
But these cars are great overall, a lot to get done for mine😅 and naaa I appreciate these kind of messages a ton 💪🏻
@@RishMedia Thank you man! If I can help with any future issues anyone here may have, I will! Not to mention, I'll be learning myself! Also thanks for the discount on my new exhaust coming soon! Ended up getting the fujitsubo legalis r, since I am a bit older and dont want it too loud. 😂🤣

Thank you for the support!
My first non American car. 07 TSX. I'm absolutely in love. Another common issue is, if the front bumper cover gets even a little compromised, it just falls apart. I'd appreciate any advice on some aftermarket front ends. Thanks. Great videos on this channel.
They’re great cars! And which cover like where the hood latch is?
@@RishMedia Thanks for the reply. The front bumper "cover" the piece(s) everything below the grill and headlights. Contains the fog lights. That whole piece wants to come off. Swings from the center connection only. Plus its all scratched up. Good piece to upgrade.
Great car!!! I have an 06 arctic blue pearl with black interior, i wish it was a six speed though
At least you got the best color and the better motor in it!
218k my 2010, been one of the best cars I’ve owned.
Aye awesome to hear!!
My first car was my dads hand-me-down TSX he bought as a mid life crisis car. First new car he bought for himself. He bought it new off the showroom floor back in 2004 and it has remained timeless to this day. But as people started to molest them, I started to lose interest. They were a great looking vehicle from the factory.
They are a great looking car for its age/year to this day people get surprised when I told them it’s a 04 or 08 lol! But that’s why I’m trying to represent and put a good name out for the Tsx’s gotta treat them right!
I got the 2004 Acura RSX as my first car i paid for in March but i want something bigger and i was looking at the 2008 TSX
I highly considered a type s as my first car but really love sedans and the look of the Tsx. Plus the blue I had was beautiful
I have a 2011[2.4 AT} with 95.000 miles now.I had it from new.Problems 0.I mean 0.Mobil 1 0-20,mobil 1 filter, every 6-8000 miles ,air filter and cabin filter every 30.000 miles,transmition flush every 30.000 miles.New brakes and rotors at 70.000,new tires at 70.000[from Michelins to Goodyear Assurance].New battery in 2019.Coolant flush at 80.000,new brake fluid at 70.000.This is it and this is all.31.5 mpg combined.Never let me down.This is the best car ever made.Aha,I forgot.I had to change the windshield wipers[lol]...Go with AERO,they are perfect for Acura TSX.Spray the rubber bushings and the suspension with Wurtz film and rubber care[from Wurtz]Spray HHS K or HHS plus on the suspension joints now and then...

I recently followed you and I recently bought an acura tsx 2004 and I am changing it for little things since the person who had it did not fix it and I never use it again for things that rusted and others got covered and broke and I like everything you talk about and you do in your acura, but there is something that I still can't figure out where a noise is coming from and I have no idea what it could be is like a little knock it feels and it comes under the engine or I don't know the reality, I'm not a mechanic, but I just it does when I turn it on in the morning and start it, but then it doesn't happen, I think I'll take it to a mechanic but the mechanics (some) turn out to change what it isn't and charge more
Hey thanks for watching the channel, best of luck on the tsx build journey!
The cold start knock could be something to do with the tensioner idler pulley, or also timing chain rattle from the Vtc cam gear, that tends to make noise at cold starts primarily.
But could very well be something else hard to say without seeing the vehicle.
My dad owns Honda accord euro r cl7 2002 and he only paid 4000$ for an Arctic blue one and he loves it
Ahhhh man love me the Arctic blue was my previous one and damn do I miss it lol.
Only downside it was a 04 compared to the 08
@@RishMedia yea the blue looks amazing under the sun
Personally my favorite color then white comes next
Should you buy a TSX/Honda accord type S? , YES YOU SHOULD RIGHT NOW. put a dual exit exhaust 63mm - 57mm preferably and a 101mm exhaust tips. do a reflash and hit vtec at 4200rpm, Make atleast 160KW/ 260NM. that is awesome to roll the streets if you wanna make nice power for an N/A motor. in my opinion it slaps nice on a Type R rim with coil overs. money worth spending
Oh yeah a reflash is needed with these and a few simple mods to get it all pepped up revving fun! 🔥💪🏼
Good ass daily I’ve also boosted mine on 5psi to be a little more fun. Not a race car but all my cars are boosted 😂 also a super clean car. I can’t have a k series without a build on it.

Buying parts for this car is not always cheaper than buying parts for V8's. It depends on the car as well as the type of V8 it has.

Nice your. Video. What year is best of TSX? 2009, 20010, tellme. Whats is better.
For the first gens 07-08 the best to get cause of the ECU and motor 06 has the better motor aswell just not the ECU for tuning.
04-05 have the slightly weaker motor and also no tuning capability without swapping ECUS.
The 2nd gens I really couldn’t say to much with the different years but I’d assume 2010 would be better. Cause 09 being the first year they may have worked out some flaws

I'm looking around and I can't find either a 1st gen TSX or 7th gen US version Accord anywhere with a manual transmission. I'd gladly take either one. You mentioned the unreliability of the auto trans in these cars. From the info I've gathered, it sounds like they might've fixed that issue in '07 with the Accord if I'm not mistaken. If that's the case, would that then apply to the TSX as well? Are the manual versions of these cars that rare or are people just not selling them?
The manuals are definitely becoming alot harder to come by and clean at that. Honestly i dont think the Auto trans are that bad, but if its never been maintained then probably wont last as long. Alot say if the fluid wasn’t changed for awhile probably best to leave it cause it’ll cause more harm then good. Theres quite a few boosted auto tsx aswell.
The manuals are getting more rare each day, especially 07-08s certain combos.
I had an 04 arctic blue pearl 6 speed tsx with black interior, sadly it got totaled but i plan on getting another one by the end of 2021

I'd love this as a 3 season daily. Decent MPG, 200~ HP, manual, and good ole reliable Honda.
Hey I'm just curious but what MPG do you average?
I know it's not all about MPG but smiles per gallon but this would be the fun daily, so it's somewhat a concern. I used to daily a Mazdaspeed 6 and damn 17-18mpg getting 250-260 miles per 17.5 gallon tank sucked my wallet dry.
They’re great daily’s! Of course a little more expensive as you have to use premium but I was a lot of pedal to the metal.
I think I was around 19-22 MPG but I know people who get in the 30s all about how you drive too 😅
@@RishMedia usually how it goes in my car is 35mpg on the way to work, 19mpg on the way home lol

There’s an 08’ tsx going for $6k and has 177k miles. Is this better than an 03’ Lexus es300 $6k with 132k miles?

Would love to have one as a second car, unfortunately finding one in manual in decent condition and for a fair price is pretty hard in my area. Might settle for an auto. Anyone know if its at least decent?
Can’t go wrong with a Tsx! Autos still could be fun it ain’t no manual tho 😭
@@RishMedia man I got a automatic 06 tsx. Got it before the pandemic hit. Clean title with 90k miles
@@gokuson5354 niceeee man! Still some baby miles on that thing 🙌🏼
The motors are almost exactly like he same. Literally . I have a 04 and my buddy has a 08 and I smoke him.
Almost but not exactly the 06-08 have more airflow in the runners, the better cams, small but noticeable differences in some cases.
Must have mod differences, lacking maintenance or driver mod.
Should I buy one of these or a Nissan Altima 07 s😭😭 I’m looking for a reliable car and and Acura’s I’m not too familiar with😭
Oh definitely a tsx! Dont be a altima stigma driver lmaoo plus these are way more reliable/last longer if ya just look after it.
@@RishMedia I found and rsx 04 133mi auto for 4740 and and Altima 07s 129mi 4500 , so you’re saying the rsx is more reliable than the Altima?
Tsx***
@@ApexPred0226 i personally think hondas way more reliable then nissan, but in the end it’ll be personal preference. Id see if you can get the tsx down in price atleast the 4k range since It being a auto and 2004. The ideal years are 06-08 for the improved features/engine
07/08 for tuning capabilities without swapping ECUs
@@RishMedia yeah my 01 civic lasted me 4 years before it died with 277 on the dash, and is 4750 overpaying?
