I had rust on my quarter panel (originally from NY) it didn't look nearly as bad as that maybe a hairline of rust I went to go fix it myself that metal was so weak it broke apart and left a big hole I tried my best but the rust came back and it wasn't until I took it to a professional had the rust cut out completely and new metal welded in that it went away. I would jump on it immediately but beware you will have a gigantic hole
I didn't take it to a shop I'm assuming for my situation a shop would've wanted 5 grand or more when I did take it to a shop for insurance purposes they tried totaling it and keeping it for parts! (I got tboned and I had some hidden rust plus I wanted a full paint job) with tip I paid 1500 he only asked 1100 for all that he's too kind 😭😭
I took a bunch of tiny cardboard parking blocks and cardboard pieces from a warehouse and it's actually so strong I can throw my jack in there and all my heavy ass tools no problem no carpet sag. They just toss it in the recycling anyway 👌
I've been rocking God speed mono SS's since I bought the rsx finally put some money into upgrading it, and I come to find out the previous owner torqued the lower rear mounting bracket on both trailing arms to 500 ft lbs. That asshole crushed it so bad I couldn't even install my coilovers without widening the bracket by quite a lot 💀
All depends on what spark plugs you have. Check your spark plugs regardless every 30,000 if you wait much too long to check them/change them chances are the spark plugs are gonna be super nasty and if they're super nasty your cylinder walls and ignition coils will suffer as well and you'll be signing yourself up for a super tedious deep cleaning process.
Stores will always cost more because theres advertising cost, warehousing cost, they provide services like same day part pick up, cleaning, stocking shelves, battery installation, the oil dump station, tool rental, etc.
I just wanted to know how often it's supposed to come on. I swear I haven't reset it for 2 years, I definitely put approx 10,000+ miles on the car done almost a dozen oil changes and now this light comes on 😅
It's just a mileage based light. I think it comes on for 2 seconds each start after 5000km, then comes on steady after 7000km. Has nothing to do with any other system.
I almost forgot to post my rant in the comments but a little before hurricane ian I almost hit a 10 foot ladder head on I've ran over cardboard boxes thatve forced me to pull over numerous times like why can't these fucking shit bags just keep shit out of the street or try to warn the car behind a little better I swear I keep a decent follow distance to or that ladder would've bricked my whole ass car 😂
369 miles off a little more than 11 gallons (k20a2 FBO Kpro) Still don't know how I managed I want to try for 400 but I would have to not hit vtec or something lol
Thanks man it's definitely a cool car, I was comparing it to my friends 93 yesterday, the bc extreme lows and whatever discontinued widebody kit it has is just gnarly af gotta find a 1.8 ecu and make 200% sure I get any salt out of the floor or I won't be having fun for long
My trunk lock actuator friggin melted though, so I had to crawl through the back force it open, got to the trunk actuator, and I had to cut it so I could manually unlock and lock my trunk. Just annoying as hell going to open your trunk and it's welded the actuator on lock 😂
Was it actually melted or did it just jam? It's a really common issue for either debris to fall into the mechanism or the old factory lubricant to go bad. The workaround is to punch the Acura badge on the back of the car until it pops open, then clean out and relubricate the mechanism.
It seemed melted to me, I did take out the actuator and beat it/wiggle it and the thing was so friggin jammed I was convinced it was melted/fucked gonna order a new one at this point
I feel like I get worse mpg on the highway always trying to keep up with the Florida crackheads can't even do 85 without the semis trying to run you over I almost enjoy when they slow down a bit lol
Man I bought my car with sticking calipers warped rotors engine light from o2 sensor (it already had headers/exhaust) but then it had another sensor failing forgot the name but it's under the intake manifold no brake pads friggin wheel bearings and ball joints cv axles everything in that area was clapped and I still somehow got good mpg driving it home I never should've drove it but it was at night and the paint was semi nice lol
I would opt for TL Brembos+rotors/pads they're your best bang for buck on performance although my calipers needed immediate replacing so I just bought some "performance powder coated calipers" from Amazon and they're good for daily driving they look good just not the best performance
Really depends I don't know how bad it is. I know they make cleaning products you pour right into your oil and you drain it out/clean the pan but that always seemed very excessive I've never done it if your worried I would just pour some extra good oil to flush out the nasty oil never hurt anything lol
My best are evenly matched to when I commuted from LA to north SD for a few months, around 350. To a few months back from gas shot up from 5.50 to I believe 6.50 it felt like it was over night( I want to say it was honestly.) I drove like a grandma nothing over 3k I got 350.
Man I drive like a grandma naturally, never in VTEC (4500+) unless I've got wide open road/reason, even in VTEC I just can't bang gears, gotta politely granny shift that 2004 shit box like a princess.
Yeah ain't no way I'm applying hydro slick tonight took me two hours of detailing just to prep it and I'm just gonna detail the inside and hydro slick tomorrow morning or sunset Edit: on top of this I forgot to complain my girlfriends friend keeps bringing me some junk ass 2.5L cvt altima to fix for next to nothing like damn get a honda already and I won't have to keep fixing it
I got the fuck outta there before I had to deal with anything guy on the bike luckily didn't cut me off and let me pass because I wasn't trying to run anyone over 😅
Yeah it was really stupid all together bunch of idiots trying to surround me under a bridge but they were painfully slow at it acting super suspicious and wearing bright red cherry on top was the cops less than a mile away I could've just set off a panic alarm or obnoxiously 2 stepping and they would've sped down there lights flashing (didn't know they were there til my escape though lol)
I really want to try progress, but I need oem hardware my God speed mono ss are dogshit for daily driving constant stress of going 3 wheels on my driveway 😅
Try and get an 05/06 sunroof. They fit and don't rust nearly as bad as the 02/04. I'm going to do this on my '02.
That's like saying get the 05-06 door lock actuators they last longer... man what the hell who told you that give me the link 🤣🤣🤣

How much did that run you ?? That’s going to be the first thing i doo

Do they sell those? I have only ever seen used OEM covers for sale.

How often do you need to change these? Never thought about it!
All depends on what spark plugs you have. Check your spark plugs regardless every 30,000 if you wait much too long to check them/change them chances are the spark plugs are gonna be super nasty and if they're super nasty your cylinder walls and ignition coils will suffer as well and you'll be signing yourself up for a super tedious deep cleaning process.
Why is that? I was mind blown that i could basically get 4 fir the price of two at basically any other store

Maybe I'm just imagining things I reset it and I'm keeping track of the miles until it comes on again maybe I put less miles on than I thought
Part list below: Doodle fart cannon Ling long tires Doodle hood pins 500+ whp No further questions, you get what you get.
Maybe for an 05-06. You'll never get that for an 04.
Man, can't you see it has 05-06 type s wheels. Easily doubles in value. I'm adding 05-06 tax 😎

I just rushed over to pick this up right now I haven't done anything to it besides move tree limbs can anyone identify the body kit?
My trunk lock actuator friggin melted though, so I had to crawl through the back force it open, got to the trunk actuator, and I had to cut it so I could manually unlock and lock my trunk. Just annoying as hell going to open your trunk and it's welded the actuator on lock 😂

I get between 28/33 MPG. 100,350miles 2004 Base!
I feel like I get worse mpg on the highway always trying to keep up with the Florida crackheads can't even do 85 without the semis trying to run you over I almost enjoy when they slow down a bit lol
Wtf I only get 230 for a full tank definitely gotta change the 02 sensor

Bruh naw 😭 😭😭😭
Sir you have reached 11,000 push ups Chad worthy

At 280k I'd say it's over due for an oil change. /s I recommend checking it at least once a week, while it's completely flat super important
Would you recommend a engine flush for it⁉️
I mean on a scale 1/10 how dry was it I've never had the light flashing 😂
Really depends I don't know how bad it is. I know they make cleaning products you pour right into your oil and you drain it out/clean the pan but that always seemed very excessive I've never done it if your worried I would just pour some extra good oil to flush out the nasty oil never hurt anything lol
I’m half way at 150 and empty by 230
That's ridiculous, my best in 2 years was 360 on a tank, but I almost always get 300+.
My best are evenly matched to when I commuted from LA to north SD for a few months, around 350. To a few months back from gas shot up from 5.50 to I believe 6.50 it felt like it was over night( I want to say it was honestly.) I drove like a grandma nothing over 3k I got 350.

Yeah ain't no way I'm applying hydro slick tonight took me two hours of detailing just to prep it and I'm just gonna detail the inside and hydro slick tomorrow morning or sunset Edit: on top of this I forgot to complain my girlfriends friend keeps bringing me some junk ass 2.5L cvt altima to fix for next to nothing like damn get a honda already and I won't have to keep fixing it
Badass I dig it, also I never see pin stripes on these very clean 👍
What happened after?
I got the fuck outta there before I had to deal with anything guy on the bike luckily didn't cut me off and let me pass because I wasn't trying to run anyone over 😅
Ahhh nice. Some dipshyts pulling stupid stunts sometimes
Yeah it was really stupid all together bunch of idiots trying to surround me under a bridge but they were painfully slow at it acting super suspicious and wearing bright red cherry on top was the cops less than a mile away I could've just set off a panic alarm or obnoxiously 2 stepping and they would've sped down there lights flashing (didn't know they were there til my escape though lol)
KW if you have money, Progress if you don’t. No exceptions.
I really want to try progress, but I need oem hardware my God speed mono ss are dogshit for daily driving constant stress of going 3 wheels on my driveway 😅
Get some pci top hats. They make good stuff
thanks for the info and they're on sale 👍
