For me there's no black areas under the car... so i'll see how time goes with his and hopefully it gets fixed!

Just had a painful conversation with my local Honda spare parts place.. but hey you know you are in trouble when the guy asks if your type r is auto or manual

I'm going to try and get one for the weekend. I don't really have any safe way to get under my car that i can think of so ill just have to hope he is right, its not a massive cost so i don't mind gambling a little.

Good luck man... i just hope this fixes it. I think i'll get my car checked next week as its the only time i have lol -_-

i have a dc2R. i have this weird vibrating noise comming from the back of the car when at 1500-2500 rpm, comes and goes and sometimes when down gearing to slow down any ideas???

[Fallenangel]

update with my noise....

went to the mech and he instantly said its the front gearbox bearing... He said the only way to fix it is to eventually get a rebuild/recondition but he said its not a huge fuss atm but just to watch out.

He said its fine to run as its in its very early stage so i'm planning to keep it as it is for now as there is no problem with gear changing or anything like that.

I have seen a few people have had this problem before,
been searching on clubRSX and alot of threads dont about it

Car: 2002 DC5

Noise: 3500RPM -4000RPM weird metal noise,

Cause: I have read that it is a bolt on one of the heat shields that comes loose.
i have taken off the heat shield on the headers and the noise continues.. so im guessing it's the drive shaft heat shield?? or the cat??

anyone solved this problem b4??

Car: 2004 DC5R

Noise: Twisting metal sounds with turning to nearly full lock/full lock when up or down a slope.

Cause: When to investigate and realise that it was actually two things making sounds.

1. While you turn nearly full lock to full lock and go up or down a slope one side of the sway angles up and hits the cat heat shield. I have the white line sway.

Extra info on the white line sway bar is their QC is rather poor. At Tech sports (I seem to be refering to them quite a fair bit these days lol) they actually have a spare Evo cross member where they install the sway bar first as the it can be so bad that it doesn't actually fit.

Solution: Trimmed the heat shield a bit so the sway bar stopped hitting.

1. While you turn nearly full lock to full lock and go up or down a slope the tie rod is actually scrapping the header heat shield. I am currently running a Toda header which comes with its own heat shield.

Solution: Bent the heat shield slightly so the tie rods clears it while I do my turning manoeuvre.

Car: 2000 DC2R

Noise: 1. Sounds like a worn isb but in its early stages. However i have replaced my isb/ synchros/clutch about a month ago. Same symptoms as a worn isb (noise disappears when clutch is in), but i have no idea what it is.

2. Clicking during braking on the right wheel. Only happens on light braking and its quite faint.

Cause: no idea... any ideas?

[tinkerbell]

1. release baring or pilot bearing?
2. stone in tyre, slotted discs, CV joint, worn bushing, loose wheel nuts (checkit!),

car: 05 dc5s

Noise: interior rattling during idle

Cause: innovative mounts

Fix:
1. dash rattle.
- to fix you need to get foam or black weather strip and apply at the window and bottom of the pillar on the driver side. no more annoying rattle.

more fixes to come.

[Fallenangel]

1. release baring or pilot bearing? -Not sure is there a way to check?
2. stone in tyre, slotted discs, CV joint, worn bushing, loose wheel nuts (checkit!), - CV joint just been changed about a month ago. Currently running dba slotted rotors, i'll check the nuts/bushing tonight
