- This Acura RSX Type S has come a long way since I acquired it last December from the original owner. Here's the next chapter. Thanks for watching!
That car is looking the business. The removal of the paint from the keyhole was highly satisfying!
Yes! Haha 😎
Acura Man - Greetings, Love your video, brought me back memories. I felt in Love with that RSX when it was first introduce, test drove it and dream of getting it one for the longest time. The Acura was extremely small in the back seat, having family that did not work out very well. All I could do was just to continue dreaming. Great Beautiful RSX with excellent detail and video. Dave from EL Paso
Great to hear from you Dave!
Your attention to detail is next level 😮 Props!
The RSX looks amazing.
Thank you!
@@TysonHugie You’re welcome!
Btw, I’m searching for an RSX in good condition. Any suggestions of where to look? Facebook marketplace is so “hit or miss” and the majority of RSX’s on the site are rust buckets that are too far gone. Appreciate that help. 🙏🏼
Looks outstanding! Congratulations on your endless hard work. 👍🏻🇺🇸
That TSX looked nice. Twice the mileage of my 2012.
Thank you so much 👍
Man, Honda's Satin Silver Metallic looks so good when it's fresh and not all beat up like they usually are.
Agreed!
Amazing transformation from what I've seen "before"!
Most definitely! And wait til you drive it!
@@TysonHugie Can't wait! 🏁
Apex is the pinnacle of paint! 🤩
Definitely!
As good as new. Amazing work that went into the Rsx
Thank you!
The car looks great. I still see many of these on the road in the city I live in up here in Canada. So they must be great cars.
Awesome! Thanks…
Nice work on the detailing. RSX looks amazing 👏🏻
Thanks Eric!
I think you better prepare yourself for the possibility of your neighbor wanting her car back...
Excellent work Tyson
Oh she does!!
I did a similar detail on the wheels of a Mercedes I used to have. The difference being that between each lug nut, there was an itty bitty hole the size of a q-tip. I grabbed a bunch of q-tips. lol
Gotta love that attention to detail
Keep the rsx,tsx,integra, nsx,and your favorites, the Legends.
I'm still thinking it over!
So satisfying! I think that thing is cleaner than mine now haha
Haha thank you
Hats off to the level of detail you go into. Awesome restoration 👍
Thank you!
Looks like a new car now! I like the clean area around the lug nuts - really makes a big difference.
Agreed!
Wow!!! I think this is my favourite transformation that you have done so far
Glad you enjoyed!
Looking great man!
Thank you!
Like new! I did the same to my 2006 Acura rsx (red)
Very nice!
Wow look’s brand new car again and awesome restoration. It looks way better than before. Great video. 👍🏼
Thank you Josh!
I loved it when you replaced the battery with Honda/Acura. My '94 Legend needed a new battery just a few days ago. Keeping things stock is #1. I contacted my local Acura dealer. They didn't have a current part number as it's officially discontinued and as you know, aside from the battery tray issue, anything slightly larger wont fit as there's no room for play under the hood. The parts guy got the size specs and called me back shortly. Other recent or current Acuras have same size spec so he had a few in stock and got my battery!
As with the other resto videos, this gave me such a good feeling to see how clean everything is. As usual the best car videos on youtube. You slowly show the whole car and we get to really see everything. Beautiful car. Your neighbor is obviously thrilled.
Thank you, I’m glad you can relate to the way I present info and share my passion! Glad you’re taking great care of your Legend
Enjoy your videos & the detail you do with the cars. Thanks for the info for Acura (I messaged through IG regarding MDX).
Thank you! I’ll check for your message
Oh that’s right! We’ve already chatted. Thanks again for following along 👍
Hey Tyson! Keep up the amazing vids! I remember i used to own a used 2003 RSX, tgen traded in it for my current TSX with 15,000km. It now has about 418,000km.
My 2006 Acura TSX has a compression ratio of 1: 10.5. In the 2004 owners manual, it clearly states the premium fuel is needed to avoid damage to the engine. In the 2006 owner's manual, it indicates 91 is recommended, not required. However, in the 2006 TSX gas door, it clearly states premium fuel only. Why the inconsistency? I remember putting in 87 gas once and on the freeway while cruising at around 2500 rpm, the check emission light came on. I wasn't even driving hard.😢
Now I only put in 91 octane.
I’m not sure on the inconsistency either. But I always run 91
Wow! That RSX looks absolutely amazing!! Really nice job on the restoration. Planning any road trips to inaugurate version 2.0 of this car?
Just a road trip to the dealer so it can go into the showcase!
Super nice,!
Thank you!
Looks really good. I personally wish it was a different color. After owning a silver 2006 TL, I find silver so boring now. I really liked the blue and red this came in.
Thanks! I agree, but did not want to modify the color on this.
WOW! That looks amazing! It's a nice low miler too. Great one to bring back. Looks new again.
Thank you!! Pretty thrilled with how this one came out.
My OCD would have me changing the positive battery terminal/cable assy for the oem one.
OEM one had been damaged, so had to have it replaced with what was available. I’m not going any further with it for now.
495k - that just goes to show the longevity of the K24! Now we know why that's the swap choice of everyone. The Satin Silver RSX looks phenomenal with the re-paint! Those headlights could be wetsanded and buffed out. Wow - an Electron Blue Pearl SI - talk about a rarity! When you did the clutch, hope you had the rear main seal changed out as well. Your attention to detail with the green Interstate battery, door key cylinder scraping is spot on! Now to get those windows tinted to protect that interior...
Haha yep, definitely did the rear main!!
For my selfish purposes, can you make a list of your favorite products which you use for detailing?
I’ll have to do that
@@TysonHugieI’ll be watching!
Keen on that! Especially the leather conditioner
Makes me miss my 92 gsr. Was completely stock, I was 3rd owner. Bought at 116k, shoulda never sold it
They are getting to be pretty collectible these days
@@TysonHugie Did they ever end up using your gsr stuff on Jay leno's show? I was on honda-tech since like '02, I remember seeing you post here and there.
The RSX looks awesome, as expected. And the TSX happenstance is perfect. Is the driver involved at all in the "Honda enthusiast community" and know who you are?
Haha he wasn’t, but he is now! In fact, I met up with him today to roll 500,000! Video soon 😅
This looks fantastic!! I think you need to incorporate under Hugie Restoration Inc 😂
Haha there’s an idea
Yay rsx.
Thanks!
CRX 😋
Classic!
Love a well sorted and clean car. Fantastic job Tyson!
Thanks Ty!
500k is insane wtf
I know!
Fantastic restoration! Great job, again, Tyson.
Thank you!
I wonder have you thought of adding a Honda Fit in your collection (since it is a discontinued Honda)?
That’s a possibility!
The repainted wiper arms look great. What are the paint details on that can of spray? (Brand, color name, etc.).
Rust oleum semi gloss black
@@TysonHugie Thanks
👍👍👍👍💣
Thank you!
Love this series!!! Are you selling the RSX? 🤔
I am!
But that ls 400 in the back 2:20
I love those
You mentioned in your video that you use a ceramic spray wax. What brand do you use?
Oh, yes, the spray. Formula 1 brand
Showroom clean 🧼 💦
Thanks my friend
What is the name of the ceramic coating you use?
This car is not ceramic coated. Although I have used a ceramic wax from Chemical Guys on my cars before
