Hi guys, I just recently bought a base model RSX 02. After driving the car for a couple of weeks, I noticed a strong burning smell from the front tires/brakes. Also, the car is squeaking a lot and I can't locate where it's coming from. Please help! Thanks!

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...

I just bought an 02 rsx base model with a race header and exhaust and cold air intake. Yesterday morning after driving log distance my cars oil was below the bottom hole...so I filled it till it reaches the top hole. So then I checked it again this morning after I drove around a bit yesterday...

So before I dynod my car my tuner suggested I do an oil change but I forgot to.. On the day of the tune I brought it to him he said he can just top off and when he checked my oil I had to top off 2-3 quarts of oil. He added the 10w 40 amsoil XL and said that should help with the oil burning...

New to the site, NOT new to the game ? Anyway, recently came across the trade of a lifetime, I had a 2004 Civic Lx 4 door mint condition low miles, clean title one owner, blue booked around $4100, and found a gentleman on Craigslist who traded me straight across pink for pink a 2006 Type S...

Hey folks. I have an 04 type-S with all stock engine besides SRI and clutch with roughly 95K miles on it. -During my delivery route this morning (2-3 hours of nonstop driving) in the RSX whenever I would climb hills I would smell a strong burnt rubber or plastic Smell inside the car. -I opened...

So I recently changed my oil on my 02 RSX Type S with Castrol Edge 10w-30. I know the manual calls for 10w-20 but since it's been pretty hot I went with a thicker oil. So I did the oil change 2 months ago and now it's below half almost right to the bottom dot on the oil dip stick. I don't see...

So I bought my type S a little over a month ago, and at the time I bought it it had no coolant in it. The car wasn't overheating or anything so I figured it was nothing, just needed coolant. So I got the price knocked down, had the dealer put some coolant in and drove home with my new car...

06 Type S: OEM fog lamp bulbs (H11) are burning the protective film on the lenses. Anyone know of an alternative bulb that burns cooler? LED? Thanks for responding.

Hey, I have a 2006 Type S with 170,000 kms on it and im burning oil pretty fast, im wondering what i can do to help that. Ive tried these oils: Castrol EDGE 5w/30, Castrol EDGE titanium 5w/30 and Quaker State Full synthetic 5w30 Should i try 10w30? or is there something wearing out such as...

Hey rsx fam, i have a base auto and i was just flooring it so see how peppy it is, and when its shifts at a high rpm (touching redline) it has a weird stinky burning smell. i was wondering if that is normal for all base auto? i heard its the gas that is being burnt but the smell goes away very...

I just thought I'd share a problem and solution I had. I have an '02 Civic SI hatch 2.0 ivtec with 140k miles and no engine mods. For a solid 6 months I was losing about a quart of oil every 150 miles. I went into limp mode on the interstate twice - engine locked up over 4000 RPMs. There was...

If this is in the wrong section I apologize. Tried to post in the General section, but I'm not allowed to I guess?:dontknow: I posted in here in the spring about my '06 RSX Type-S burning a little more than a quart every 1k miles. http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=986322 Since then I...

Hi guys! So as of recently (last week) I started noticing a burning smell coming from under my cars hood. On the first day, I checked the engine to see if I was out of oil and I was pretty much almost out... which is weird cause i did an oil change two months ago. so I put some more in there and...

I just bought my rsx for a month. And every time the car goes uphill, or when i push it a little bit, i smell a burning smell (like rubber). I kinda get freak out cuz of it. Did anyone have the same problem? By the way, my car is 06 automatic so its not the clutch. I did check the oil level...

05 type s. I am burning 2-3qts per 350 miles. That is correct. PER fill up. I originally thought my valve stem seals were shot because the only time I see smoke is when I hit vtec. These past few weeks I haven't touched vtec all that much just to see if my oil consumption would ease up. It...

I drive an 06 Type-S with 103k miles and I have CAI and DCRH. I've been having some oil burning issues for a while, over a year now. Here is a little background. Acura kept telling me it was within spec, about 1qt/1500 miles. It has gotten to the point where I can't even make it to a 3k oil...

Ive been burning oil and theres no leaks. Car has 119xxxmiles. Could the o ring seals be worn or do I need to switch grades of oil

Ok so my problem is I have this smell coming from my car at high rpm shifts with no noise or power loss, slippage, or loss of pressure. I've got the stage 1.5 and 8lb clutch flywheel kit. Also no smoke no nothing just the smell. Was told to adjust the clutch but unsure how to. Oh and no...
