When I buy a used RSX-S - Acura Forum

Sick_WS6 · 09-27-08, 12:13 AM

What should I be aware of? Especially since I am looking for a 2004.
I already know most of the stock tranny/clutches go bad real easy. So I know I'll have to look out for that. Anything other internally?
I'm mostly worried about the motor, not just the body/interior.

For an 04 the main thing is the third gear grind/pop issue. I don't think the strut popping issue when turning at very low speeds appeared until the 05-06. I'd look for one that hadn't been modded, though most people put their car back to stock when they sell it so it's not always easy to tell.

I want a stock one

Makes mod time more fun for me. So just a third gear grind then?
At least I've got a while to learn how to drive stick.... better then I know.. I stall to much right now lol

Are those Corvette wheels on your WS6?

The clutch on the RSX is so smooth. Much easier to drive than any other car I've ever driven. You don't even have to give it gas, is you're smooth you can just let off the clutch.

And yes, she has C6 rims on her WS6

Okay, Thanks for the information.

and yes yes, those are Corvette C6 rims. new body style vette FTW

Cloud_Walker · 09-29-08, 07:41 PM

Yes, new rims style FTW also. I love the C6s, and their rims especially.

mine is completely different since I had it, I have to give gas till near 2K.

the base 5-speed I drove had a smooth clutch that cud be let out without a worry, but I've even stalled mine reversing slightly downhill out of a parking spot.
