Default What don't you like about your RSX?

Ok, let's try this again. This time, only reply if you have an RSX. I'll start it off:

1. Rattles - this car has a lot of rattles for a new car. I don't know if it's because my last car (94 teg) was a sedan or what, but I don't remember it having this many rattles when it was new.

2. Crappy tires. I make them squeal w/o even trying.

That's really about it I can think of for now.

Well to start off the stock ( all season michellens) are crap and are not worthy of going on any car. All season my ***!!!!!! damn things dont grip **** on the road and squeal even when the car is parked..lol ok maybe no that dramatic but you get the point. As for the seats they are comfortable and hold your *** in real good, but the only down side is the leather.. not good when you live in Arizona..aka.. hell. Temperatures get well into the hundreds and makes your *** burn when you get in. As for the car making noise, that doesnt happen to me. Maybe you should have acura check your car out. But other then that I love the car. well enjoy .. and Good luck..

No rattles at all, here either.

Only complaint is tires. Oh well, I can upgrade those and the brake pads and be just dandy for auto-x :D

Okay.. I think we all agree that the tires eat ***.. my only complain is that I can't find exterior parts (hoods, kits, fenders) or tuning parts for it anywhere..

are you looking in the right places...i know of cf hoods, kits, intakes, exhausts, headers, springs, coilovers, full coilover kits, camber kits, sway bars (front and back), strut bars (front and back), pulleys, i also might be missing a few...there's always N2O...

Since we aussies get similar engine (there are minor differences) i'd say the redline is a tad slack. An extra 500rpm would be sweet!! All in all the engine is nice though a little mild. Top end seems "thin" but I love the bottom-end torque Also it would've been nice if we got the JDM 17" rims stock. The look of the US/AUDM model Integra/RSX aren't too nice. All in all a nice car

I don't own a RSX-S but have driven a few. I think they are somewhat quick and have a pleasant note when they jump into vtec, but personally I think they are Ugly as hell...
