Can regular gas go into a 2002 Acura RSX type S?

yes you could, but there is a down side to that it will ping in really heavy load or driving the car hard because of the tremedusly high compression that's why Honda tells you to use 91 its best for the engine

Answeryes when i bought my rsx from Honda (used) they filled it with 87 octane but ever since ive been using 91 again. Answer

The engine control system uses a knock sensor to control ignition timing. Low octane fuel results in pretty severe ignition retard, mine would not rev over 4000rpm on regular fuel, no knocking or pinging was evident, but neither was the normal performance this engine delivers. Compression ratio is 11:1 and high miles and carbon build up may increase this further.

An Acura dealer wants to charge me 1200 for new tranny mounts so Im curious if this is a little high?

Just the transmission mount? That is freaking insane. The mount itself is somewhere in the $100 range. It should take no more than 90 minutes for a professional mechanic to change it. $200 to $300 would be a better price. Shop around...

Acura MDX Cabin Dust/Pollen Filter Replacement - DIY

Annotated with instructions from rayc1z.

  1. Empty glove box and pop up the two plastic stops on the inside of each side. Slide the stop forward and remove it from the glove box.
  2. Undo the single screw that slides in the arm thingy (!) on the outside right of the glove box. Latch the glove box.
  3. Pop up the kick plate on the passenger door side. I used a screwdriver and was careful not to scratch anything.
  4. Unscrew the plastic stud thingy (!) that holds into the floor the trim piece that contains the fuse box door.
  5. Lift up the rubber door seal just enough so you can take off the trim piece.
  6. Use a 8mm socket to undo the screws holding in the hinges at the bottom of the glove box.
  7. Unlatch the glove box and remove it.
  8. Take a Stanley knife (or coping saw) and carefully cut the plastic cross brace at its ends. You can see where to cut because there are cut-outs already in place.
  9. Unscrew the four screws holding the metal cross brace in place.
  10. Unclip the filter cover. Pull out the filter. Be amazed at how dirty it is.
  11. Reverse the above, except don't replace the plastic brace. I found it was tricky to get the hinge screws started, but all you need is patience.

Will an 02 Acura RSX rear bumper cover fit on an 06 Acura RSX?

No. 2004 and lower has a different tail light design. Therefore the bumper cover has the same design. The 2002-2004 have the little loops on the bottom of the tail lights. So the bumper has cut outs for those loops. 2005 and 2006 dont have loops. The tail lights are plain but stick out a little. Same goes for the headlights.

How do I fix the car charger in my Acura RSX?

it depend, is it broken? it's not that hard.... you'll need a flat head screw driver to do it. the top is your dash board the cup holder is right beneath it and between the middle is where your car sharger should be at. use a flat to unhook the 4 clips in the middle piece, you should see it.. flat it on the side and do it side to side then it should pop out. Be very careful because the car charger wire is really short, if you yank it out you might snap a few cord or so. and after being careful unhook the clip behind the car charger and replace it if it's broken or so, then you're done. just put it back on place and it should snap right on.
