    Back to Car Hunting *sad face*

    I love my RSX =) Very happy with it, easyish to work on (clutch change requires taking the subframe out), but 182k miles and only ever had minor issues with it. And I have a 1st gen 02. I would recommend, if looking for an RSX, to go with a 05-06. Get a Type-S too ;)

    That sucks man. I did that in the fall (totally my fault), but it landed on the frame slider and all was good. I keep a crushed aluminum can under my seat just in case I need to park on asphalt on a hot day.

    Knocking Noises

    If you're hearing knocking, answer the door? This may be the least descriptive post I've ever seen.... We need way more details. What year is your car? What trim is your car? Auto or Manual? Check Engine Light (CEL) on? Any mods? Stock motor? Where's the noise coming from? When does it...

    Alternator issue?

    The smoking indicates either the belt is slipping, something else in the bay is rubbing against it, or the alternator pulley is partially seized.

    We hit 60's for the first time yesterday so I took work off just because. 99% of the time when I am replying here on CC, I'm at work doing it (like now!) Bringing my FZ6R back to stock height. s**t is waaaay to low (bought it this way)... about 2.5" lowered... more than my car! Also prepped my...

    New to the Honda world. And Son got a 1993 SI Coupe to use for autocross Help would be great!

    Yep! Autocross isn't a high speed event. For me, most of the time is spent in 2nd gear. For this reason, I wouldn't recommend much in terms of engine mods. If anything, you'll want to focus on suspension and braking.

    Not entirely true. Stiff (shorter) sidewall means less flex. More (taller) sidewall means more flex. More flex means the patch of tire on the road will stick longer, and get a bit more lateral load out of it. Of course, many other factors come into play. Suspension setup, tire pressure, wheels...

    Weird. Did not know it wasn't west coast. Well, I'll gladly trade you for some CO / West Coast beers then... Yuengling was my college beer when we didn't want Labbatt Blue. :lol:

    Yuengling? That's domestic you can find that pretty much anywhere. I'm selling $30/4pks of good craft beer. =) Bissell is coming to Rochester for a tap takeover this Saturday. People will be waiting at 6am. I will not be one of them because as much as I like beer, I like sleep more. Sold my...
