RSX Type-S: 20 Years of Ownership Experience

It's been 20 years since I first bought this 2002 Acura RSX Type-S. Within this video I'll give you a tour of its history ranging from the positives as well as its negatives. The damages from the overfilled gravel dump truck on the bridge. Also I'll go over the repairs and maintenance that's been required to keep it on the road and what future plans it has in store. #acura #acurarsx #types #k20 #k20a #originalowner #carreview #honda #madeinjapan #jdm #6speedmanual #6speed

I'm 77 years old. I got my 2002 type-s brand new. I put 190000 approx miles on it in 21 years in Georgia. It has never been driven in snow. 1:02 1:02 I don't drive enough any more to warrant keeping it. So I gave it to my granddaughter in New Hampshire. She loves it .

Awesome video! I had a 2002 Type S in college and I sold it for some reason. Now at 31 years old I wanted it back, and went and bought a 2003 Type S with 100, 000 miles on it

Wow really cool seeing an original owner rsx

[TBills]

Awesome! My Type S is a 2003 with 159k miles. I love it so much. Watching this video seeing your old pictures and memories made me tear up because I love mine the way you love yours. I’m never getting rid of mine. Best car I’ve ever owned. DC5 gang

I think it's safe to say that this car would deserve a extreme makeover, have all the rust and dents remove and get it fully resprayed, keep us updated, peace

Happy 20th birthday to your type s I just picked up a 02 RSX type s in satin silver metallic with 205k miles and I love it one of the best cars I have owned

Respect for hanging on to your RSX. I am the original owner of a 1994 Acura Integra GSR.

This is a great video, thanks for sharing your RSX. I have a 2002 Arctic Blue Pearl as well with 210, 000! It is my 5th Type S i love these things dearly!

Thanks for sharing this awesome story about your beautiful RSX TYPE-S, I own the 04 model and it's become one of my favorite cars.

About the timing chain tensioner. I've found it's best to inspect and/or replace every 20-30K miles. Highly recommended. Otherwise, the timing chain will also fail and cause valve and possibly piston damage (K20A2 is an interference engine). Unfortunately, this happened to me several years ago. My 2004 is now 20 years old and I'm also the original owner. Congrats, and great video.

I got an 03 with 189, 000 miles, still going strong ❤

I can imagine how much this car means to you. Owning it for 20 years is no joke! Happy for you man.

[lennytate]

I love this video. Shows you really take care of your stuff and love the car.

Happy 20th birthday to your RSX-S! I do miss mine sometimes. Here's to 20 more!

[invisibleghost]

My 2002 RSX type S and I have been together for 20 years. 240k miles so far. Premium white pearl with all the upgrades. Love this car so much and still have fun driving it everyday.

[Tonyk]

This is definitely one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while, I hope to see more uploads featuring this thing!!

[GabrielOrtizUAP]

Amazing! Happy Birthday to your RSX! Looks great considering the minor flaws from daily use. I commend you for taking care of it and loving it. I have had my 02 base Rsx since 2015 but this isn't my first rodeo. I owned an 03 Ep3 from 04-09, then got another one in 2012-14. After that I got my base, converted it to manual, replaced quarter panels due to rust and now it's in the garage taken apart, waiting for an awd conversion to be completed. You inspired me to make a video on it. Thank you sir.

Nice video. I have a 2009 civic si with a 120, 000 miles. The car runs so well and I plan to keep it for a long time. I hope I can get it to 300, 000 miles.

[bigsiv]

Great video! I've had an '02 type S for the last twenty years as well. I appreciate you sharing all of this. Also, brilliant move getting the 05/06 seats. They look high quality. I'll be keeping tabs on your channel. I hope you keep it up!

Overall looks great for its age. Mine's 2006 base model, same color, same spoiler. Brought it when I was 19 and had it for about 7 and a half years. Personally don't have many bad things to saw about it but my friend is tall so he doesnt like sitting in it lol. Changing oil on this car is also more tedious than others. Still under 100k miles on mine so no reason to get another car anytime soon but if I had to choose I'd just get another Acura, Red or Orange type S with a jdm spoiler since those look nice imo. Great vid.
