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...

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...

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...
