    Long time listener, first time caller. My rear left brake has worn fairly quickly and it is now time to replace. I took the old brakes off and I'm going to compress the piston by turning it. I haven't had to use a cube tool in the past, but this one won't budge with my crowbar. Closer...
  2. TSX Problems and Fixes
    I'm planning to put my 2004 TSX up on a lift and derust as much of the undercarriage as I can with reasonable effort. Wire brush, sand paper, rust remover chemicals, part replacement (where cheap enough), paint, etc. Doing some up front research to gather materials and parts ahead of time and to...

    I need a new rack & pinion, since mine has been leaking pretty badly. Took it to the shop that supposedly handles stuff the other guys won't. They told me the underbody is too rusty to take apart, there are just too many bolts that are rusted over on the exhaust, subframe, tie rods, bushings...

    I've been finding these little pieces of rusted metal on the rear door sill every couple of weeks. Today I removed the rear door panels and found rusted pieces of metal along the inside bottom edge of the door. Here's a picture of what I collected from both rear doors. I removed it with a...

    I am a newbie to this website, though I have been reading posts for quite some time now. I am looking to buy a new TSX. It will be my first car purchase. It is a 2005 base model with 6MT and close to 91k miles. The dealer is selling it for 11.5k(includes everything - fees, sales tax etc.). It...

    I found tiny spots of rust on Acura TSX less than 1 year old. Dealership claims these are road chips and won't do anything. There are some road chips and those are obvious. What worries me more are the spots (tiny for now) where rust is popping from under never damaged paint. Any advise where to...

    So I just noticed after washing my 2004 TSX that the lug nuts (I think that's what they are called) is rusting around the edges. Is this normal or should I be alarmed or do something about this? Thanks

    Just got a 2005 PWP and am thinking about the clear coating for the hood and bumper after seeing the little dings and rust spots on all the ones I looked at. Wondering what anyone's experience has been with paint color fading, self installation, etc. Its pricey but worth it to me after seeing...
  9. 1st Gen - Problems and Fixes
    I'm in search of a used PWP right now and am finding that all of them that I see seem to have paint defects from small rust spots to rust speckles, to doors/hoods/bumpers that don't match bordering parts or yellowish discolorations (fairly large areas). None have said that they have had body...
