    The CL9 Chassis won SCCA Endurance TC Championship 3 times 2005, 2007, 2008.
  • @sodazman
    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.
  • 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.
  • @jbezugs
    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.
  • @Kurtster600
    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
  • @guero9093
    You can tell Larry tends to forget all the crazy touring JTCC cars
  • @AngusOutram
    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!
  • @matthewgray3375
    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!
  • @craiggreen4388
    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.
  • @proraceer07
    Glad to see a feature on this build. I’m trying to build a stream version of this car.
  • 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.....
  • 14:32 that’s me in the red hat!! Super awesome to meet you Larry! Thanks for the stickers and the picture!
  • @sirhaney
    Much love- jealous the TSX came with that suspension setup and the DC5 didn’t. Always the weak point on the DC5
  • This model has been around racing for a while Larry. You need to check your history
