This is with wheelspin yeah? Your description is poor.

This issue has been a common thing for DC5's.

There is a long thread about it on Ozhonda and many other DC5/RSX forums.

Solution has yet to be pinned down.

Some believe its heat shield contracting with the cold water some believe its due to the headers cooling down too quickly.

But I know what you are talking about.

Feels like under neath the car is knocking everywhere and when you rev it , theres no power.

Unfortunately its nothing bad to the engine just a weird side affect I have yet to find the solution to.


PS - His description is not poor Sam, you're just clueless to this issue.

i use to get the exact same issue with my auto dc5, but i have driven in heavy rain in my TypeS and nothing just yet.

I've had this happen to me once in my type-s. It was in very heavy rain and I had the accelerator all the way to the floor and the car wasn't going at all. Hasn't happened since then though (over a year ago).....very strange.
