Gas gauge fluctuates after about 50 miles when tank is full.

Has anybody else had this problem the gauge hangs from empty to half tank after my first 50 miles after a fill up. Would it be necessary to replace the whole fuel pump assembly?

Save your RSX from hidden rust located underneath your seals. Check your taillight gasket as well.

What’s up fellas, I have been driving my rsx 5 speed for 10 years now with 240k miles. I just found where my water leaks are coming from. The tail light gasket is fine. Please save yours before it gets worse like mine. Remove your black seals up so u can see them. Also, if you have any questions about any problems you’re having reach out to me. I might be able to help.

Which of These 3 Front Bumpers Closely Resembles NFS UG2’s Vapor Bodykit?

Thinking of building my RSX to closely match the one I beat NFS Underground 2 as a kid with. Obviously the Vapor bodykit doesn’t exist in real life, so I wanted to ask which of these front bumpers do you think looks closest to it?

A-Spec Interior! Pricey, but definitely makes the car pop.

Scored myself some a-spec interior parts! Definitely make the interior look a lot cleaner!

2002 Acura Rsx Type S Timing Chain Off by a tooth?

I saved a 2002 Acura Rsx Type S from going to the junkyard. I tried to start it and it would shut off after 3-6 seconds ive got only one code for the camshaft position sensor p0341 i changed out the sensor just to see and i had the same problem. I decided to check if the chain was loose because ive seen that the tensioners tend to go bad at 150k miles this one has close to 220k. When checking the chain it appears to be after market/ not OEM. Im almost 100% sure timing is off by a tooth the chain markings are not lined up with the cam. Can this engine be saved?

RPF1 Enkei Center Cap recommendations and where to find

My Type S has these Enkei RPF1 - but no center caps. I’m not interested in the caps sold by Enkei as they are quite expensive. Would like an Acura logo on them. Any suggestions on where to find quality caps like these?

‘05 Base key fob unlocks all doors/hatch but does not lock

For context: around 2-3 years ago the car was rear ended, fairly light damage but it definitely messed up the internals as now the door open light on the dash stays lit even when all doors are closed (but only when the key is in the ignition). Additionally, if I plug in the trunk cabin light it stays on even when the trunk is closed.

- All doors lock/unlock manually by pressing down/pulling up on the switch from both sides
- All doors lock/unlock by using the master switch on both sides
- All doors lock/unlock by using the key on both sides
- I already replaced the trunk latch actuator and now the trunk actually locks with both doors (previously it had to be locked manually from the inside)
- I’ve tried reprogramming the key fob and a separate key fob multiple times and have replaced the batteries
- I’ve checked all fuses under the hood and inside for continuity and they all seem fine

Anyone have any ideas for what steps I need to take next to get this keyless lock back? Any help is appreciated 🙏
