I just finished putting in the esmm inserts last night in my 05 type s ( which absolutely was not a breeze by any means). The reason for doing those is because my goal is to get a race header, however I have heard lots of problems with headers from DC, which is the one I was planning on...

got everything to do a turbo setup on my 02 type S , question is how reliable is a turbo setup for a daily driver at 8 to 10 pounds of boost tuned with bolt ons

Hi everyone, I'm currently in the market for a used car and the Acura RSX caught my attention. I just have a couple of questions that need clarifying. 1. Cited on www.Auto.ca, Consumer Report said that the 2005-2006 Acura RSX had suspension problems. What are the suspension problems? Do you...

Hi, I am auto hunting for a car to buy. Being that the RSX has been one of my most desired possessions, I am now in a position to get myself one. Heres the problem: I am hot for this particular Type S that has all kinds of mods. The problem with this is that I am not a tuner/racer whatever...

I purchased a 2002 RSX Type S about 6 months ago and would like to add more power. I want to avoid a super loud exhaust and maintain reliability. I currently have a cold air intake, and the larger 2005 stock cat back exhaust on the car. I doubt I will get any noticeable power increases from...

Just curious, how many people here have had to change out their power steering pump due to mechanical failure, at what mileage, and what were your symptoms (noise, hard steering, leaks, exploded, etc.)? Had a guy come into my shop today with an '06 S with a fried P/S pump and tried to tell me...

I want to do a k20a2 or maybe k24 bottom end k20a2 head swap in my base model and i want to do a full race turbo kit also with goals of about 500hp. This will be daily driven so want to know if people that have roughly 500hp+ daily driven turbo setups if their are any parts they tend to break...

Hi guys, im looking for a daily driver car. I found a nice bmw 330i for 13k. My question is it has 82k miles. I do not know how reliable bmw's are in higher mileage. Are they reliable? Or am i better off with something like a honda, toyota subaru or such. Thanks...

I currently own a Stage 2 Pro-tuned 2008 Subaru Legacy GT, but the maintenance of owning such a poorly built unreliable vehicle has finally chewed through all of my patience and I'm looking to unload it . . . quite possibly for a 2006 RSX. Before I make the jump I'm hoping you guys can answer...

Lets start the beginning of a new age.

You guys have done a lot for me, so I though it would be nice to try to give back to the community. I see countless threads that have the concern of reliability after supercharging. What I would like to do here is outline some obvious things that will help make any supercharged car more reliable...

Hey guys, I hope this is in the right section. I was wondering if you guys could tell me all the different types of tests that I can perform on my engine to ensure that it is in great mechanical condition. (compression test, leakdown test, etc....) I am wanting to go turbo soon but before I do...

only been about 2 years since my last login here, but I've been keeping myself busy with my 350Z. Anyways, I am looking for a nice daily driver, something reliable but still fun to drive. I am in Miami, so snow and hills and such are not an issue haha. Was going to just buy a cheap civic but...

Hey guys, recently I've heard on the 7thgen site that after swapping a K-series in to the civic chassis, it wasnt really comfortable. I kinda thought for swaps, that the ride would somewhat be the same? I guess it has to do with the mounts and etc. But how bout swaps like the B-series or say...

a question for those of you with turbos: i have a jrsc @7psi, and i throw a belt perhaps every six months. so twice a year my car breaks down so to speak, although it's a quick fix. just curious how often your guys' turbo cars break down, what you do to increase reliability, and what kind of...

Ok this may sound stupid,but I'd figure i'd ask anyway. I'm more into how Spoon,Mugen etc... build their cars for Endurance racing and road courses ..rather than all out power for drag racing and such. And I noticed that most of their highly tuned cars are pretty close to stock HP levels....due...
