Hey all, I have a 2002 boosted type s. Lately sometimes during idle after starting up, there’s a quiet vibrating noise that goes away or doesn’t happen at every start up. But lately after letting off the gas in gear it makes a vibrating/whirring/droning type noise that only happens when I let...

What's up guys. Back again with another fun issue for the electronic geeks on here. So in recent weeks i've started to notice that my headlights have started to dim when I have the sound system under full load. I have a 2000w (1000rms) 5channel amp for all 6 speakers and a sub in the trunk...

In my 06 Type-S I’m hitting the gas light at around 220 miles on a full tank while driving economically. I’m posting the list of mods I have on the car that I think would affect MPG and I just wanted your guy’s input on why it might be so crappy. My assumption is that it’s my AEM Short Ram...

178k on car, 03 Type S, live in FL. These plugs have 40,000 mi on them. Car has been smoking on cold startup for several years now. Doesn't smoke while driving AFAIK. Going through about 1.5 quarts on a 3000 mi OCI with 5w-30 Castrol GTX HM. Burns a bit more if I take longer trips (100mi or...

05 Type-S 175,xxx miles, Race header, no cat, Cold Air Intake, Hondata Race Header reflash. Most of the time it runs just great, but a couple of weeks ago driving in light rain it would miss and lose power about the time it should have gotten to VTEC. Then the problem went away and it started...

Hi, can anyone help me figure out if this could be a wheel bearing or just a bad wheel? https://youtu.be/fx0FuOXFAHc

Hello all, to start off, I have a 2002 Rsx type-S with 86,000 miles. Completely stock. The car has been running Penzoil 5-30w conventional. My last oil change I switched it to Penzoil synthetic 5-30w. I checked the oil today and its pretty low, but very clean. I read and was told...

Hey guys so since I’ve bought this type s 8 months ago I’ve been hearing a loud grumbling like sound when I turn left only around 3k+ rpm or hard corners and I believe it was a mount to begin with because when I put it into neutral the sound goes away as long as I don’t jerk the wheel. Since...

04 RSX base 5-speed. For a while now it has been slow cranking. It would struggle to crank sometimes (take a few attempts) but most times it would be slow, but crank up on the first try. Well I didn't drive it for about 4 days and now it won't start. It will either turn over once slowly and not...

I'm having a confusing car issue and hoping you guys can help me out. While driving my car I heard a loud knocking sound, I pulled over and checked the codes. It was throwing 02 sensor codes (I just got my exhaust done 2 weeks ago), and it was also throwing the knock sensor code. Now just with...

Hey guys, i've had this problem since the day I bought my car and I initially thought it was the smell of burning oil and since then i've fixed the small oil leak that I previously had. Whenever I get in my car and roll down the windows I get this horrendous burning smell, it almost smells like...

It's been quite some time since I've posted here since I've been out of the Honda game for a while but I'm back to ask your opinions. I'm starting my initial research on the possibility of purchasing an early 90s JDM NSX. It's been my dream for years to own a RHD NSX and now that I'm a little...

I'm not going to go very much into details, but pretty much someone decided to cut me off and I instinctively swerved to avoid him and rear-ended another car. The car was at a standstill, and I was going maybe 20-25 mph. The damage : http://imgur.com/a/Zi3cG The other guy ...

Anyone have bad experience with KYB Strut mounts? A friend and I recently replaced his 05 type S strut mounts with the KYB strut mounts. We installed them correctly and torqued "everything" down to spec per the helms manual and made sure the mounts are positioned properly for the L/R side...

Hello guys, PROBABLE CAUSE (99.99%CHANCE IT WAS) Date: Mid Febuary 2017 So this has been my ordeal with this amazing car. So the start of this problem was the hood prop (which is some metal) touched the terminal of the battery (probably positive b/c it's been a mess ever since this). It turned...

I recently went to honda to get an oil change on my 06 rsx type s and they put 0w-20 instead of 5w-30. Is that a bad thing? Thanks

Hi all, I drove my car through a pretty bad rainstorm this morning and started noticing halfway through my drive that the car started to sound really boggy and vibrate (my car is pretty low too). I immediately turned my car off and waited for about 10 minutes then turned it back on. It turned...
