#2538 of 2579 Re: S type [nitromax] by dpuetz Mar 08, 2006 (9:55 pm)
Replying to: nitromax (Mar 08, 2006 3:58 am) thanks for the molding link, nitro. I also found some generic ones at Pep Boys, black/chrome, that should look good...just worried if the adhesive will be strong enough. Going to look into a stronger adhesive for more permanent bond.   My S ride is good except over RR track crossings...have to go real slow otherwise a real shake. No strut or noise problem here with 7,000 on it already.
#2539 of 2579 Lost Keys/Fob, what to do? by vipingupta Mar 10, 2006 (8:15 am)
Guys,    I am buying a 2003 RSX-Automatic. The first owner says that only one set of key/Fob is available and he lost other keys/fob. He also does not have any details like key# or key code. Any ideas if it is still possible to get a copy made of the existing key? I just want the key copied as one fob is enough for me. What are my options?    Thanks a ton.

Replying to: vipingupta (Mar 10, 2006 8:15 am) The dealer should be able to do it, but it won't be cheap. I did exactly that with a 98 Mustang and just the key and programming by the dealer cost me $125. With the Mustang, only having one key required the programming to be done by the dealer. With two keys, I could do it myself. The key cost $30 then an hour or so labor by the dealer.
#2541 of 2579 Door moldings by gps_007 Mar 16, 2006 (4:36 pm)
#1 complaint on my car is the door is very exposed to the grocery store minivan. No matter where I park it, somebody always pulls up a few inches from me. So far no dings (although I still have less than 400 miles). We also have a TSX in the family, same thing; no door molding. I've got a few dings on that car that stick out like a sore thumb.   To respond juicymoose: RSX took 3 months to arrive.

What is the size of the steering wheel (millimeters or inches) of the RSX Type-S '05 and newer?
#2543 of 2579 RSX Service Questions by eyebquick Mar 22, 2006 (6:49 am)
I'm a little concerned that my acura dealer is trying to take me for a ride, and would like some honest feedback from the group. I just took 2002 RSX-S in for a 45K checkup - really just an oil change, tire rotation, and brake fluid flush. Dealer came back and said coolant needed to be flushed (although manual says it is required at 120K), 2 tires are bad although I rotate all the time, tire replacement requires alignment, front brakes are shot (back are ok), oh, and my windshield wipers need to be replace. Altogether, they want $1,200, with the understanding that eventually my back breaks and tires will need to be replaced at some point in the future - think another $800. What am I hearing here? Your thoughts are appreciated. Replies to this message: nitromax (Mar 23, 2006 3:21 am)

Here is one man's opinion:   - coolant flush at 45K, I call BS on this one. Ask them for an explanation, and ask to see evidence. I plan on replacing coolant before 120K, but 45K seems way early to me.   - 2 tires bad, check the tire thread - you should be able to tell if they are telling the truth. P.S. if you do need new tires I urge you to do some research and buy a better tire than the stock Michelins, there's a lot better out there.   - Front brakes shot. Can you be more specific? Brake pads? Replace rotors? Machine rotors? What are they recommending? I would tend to take their recommendation on brakes - it's the most important part of your car.   - Wipers. Bought and replaced them myself from AutoZone. No big deal.

Replying to: eyebquick (Mar 22, 2006 6:49 am) Coolant should be fine at 45K   Tires are probably nearing their lifecycle. Get them on your own someplace else...ditto for the wipers   I had my brakes done around 55k for about $400 at my Acura dealer.
#2546 of 2579 RSX Type S Service by joem5 Apr 24, 2006 (11:32 am)
No coolant required ,or brake pads or rotors. If you do get a brake job replace your rotors,it's just a few dollars more.          My car was in for30k service. I did need new Michelin's My Integra was hard on sport VR tires also.     Eyequick is right on, go to VP and do your own wipers ,or air filter for that matter.     Unless you ride the brake you should get 50k . I think the front brakes tend to wear quicker.   I don't know this is my last RSX. I love the car,but my GSR was easier on the eyes. Also, I'm using 89 octane with the price of gas. No problems so far.

It's official, the '06 model year will be the last for the RSX.
