After 2 blown engines, looks like its time for a RSX-S

[krazyone]

i kno celi looks 10x better than rsx, but after 2 engines, i kno there's gonna be problems in the long run. so as soon as i get the car back from the dealer, im going to acura and trading it in!! im gonna strip all the aftermarket parts cept for my rims and try to sell em. Its been fun while it lasted.

[silvercelly]

man that sucks..........but do you want to sell me those wheels???

Dane

[skamikaze]

youre prolly gonna end up blowing your RSX too. unless you get an auto. and i believe acura refuses to cover any blown engines.

ya i was thinkin bout that, the first time i blew it, was my fault, 2nd time , it wasnt me driving. the car was fine for 1 yr i didnt abuse it or anything. if i get the rsx , im not racing it for sh!t. so hopefully it will come out for the better.


man that sucks..........but do you want to sell me those wheels???

hehe those are going on the RSX

[Willis5050]

Talk about a band-aid. But, sometimes the chemistry doesn't work out between car and owner. Just don't misshift that acura....and sell me all your parts :).

sorry... the RSX has a different bolt pattern then the celi, so they won't fit without fabrication

Just FYI the RSX owners are already mis-shifting and blowing engines. Go scope some of teh honda / acura sites

[EVILLL1]

Man that stinks that you had 2 blown motors but yes the RSX have the same problem too. That is why my girlfriend and I got the automatic for her to drive since she has problems with the gearing. Did Acura say why they were not going to cover there motors?

[DevlynSyde]

Because there is no reason for them to cover them since they are 100% user error. Celica owners are just damn lucky that Toyoto has been covering them.

[eva-01]

Heh my gf has an RSX type S, all i have to say is watch the 4th to 5th shift cuz sometimes it doesnt want to slip in.(i've misshifted once in the car, good thing i wasnt racing the rpms only went to 8 phew). well anyway Sometimes you'll hit the gate some times it just doesnt pop in. Maybe a shortshifter and new bushings will take care of that.

[pinoyracer]

Yeah, right, like u couldn't resist racing, some how u'll get tempted on driving it faster and see how it could handle :thumbup:

[chico]

Why not a WRX?

[ToyoGT]

yeah chico i was going to say the same thing. 14.20's out of the box....

[borpph]

Why don't you just take it easy on your celi, like you plan to do with your RSX??? You could have your 10x better looking car and ummm...keep your rims. hehe. Of course there is the aftermarket with the RSX. I don't know, IMO, I'll keep my celi, AND get a supra TT :)

[krazyone]

i was thinkin about it, mis-shift IS user error. but i have been good to the car since my first mis-shift, never did it again. the 2nd time was my friends fault ( and mine for letting him drive it ), i just have to be EXTREMELY careful with the RSX. anyone kno how the car runs with 50k+ miles? if the synchros are replaced early or anything?

when i test drove the RSX, i found it hard to get into 5th, i had to shove the damn thing in. it wasnt smooth like my celi , wierd. car handles alot like our cars, ALOT. speed... feels about the same, offcourse it was stock tho.

i think im getting the rsx mainly because it already has huge aftermarket support. and its the next best thing after the celi ( in that price range ).

what else should i consider to get? WRX and what else?

[EzRidA]

I'd say WRX for the most bang for your buck. If you had promblems with the GT-S you're just as likely to have them with the Type-S. Just my .02 cents.

[gts24]

Not to be a **** but your subject is misleading.

It should be.

"After two user error related misshifts, I'm thinking about getting another car. Should I probably get an automatic?"


I don't know what you are going to accomplish differently by getting an RSX. It kinda sounds like you really just want to get one even if the Celica was not misshifted.

[MarkyMark]

what's the compression on an RSX type S?

no i really dont want to trade the celica in, is how i really feel. i luv how it looks, as stated above, i think it looks 10x better. also if u read this thread (http://www.newcelica.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19883) u'll see it was partially my fault that it blew the 2nd time ( i was not driving the car at the time ). it was perfectly fine for almost 1 yr, with the '01 shift gates. and i thought i did a good job of evading another mis-shift (in my part)



anyone think i can still keep the car?

[SlasherX]

Dude, your celi had two blown motors due to a misshift, but Toyota at least COVERS THE REPAIRS.

if you get the RSX Type S and blow that motor you are 110% SOL and everythign comes out of your pocket.

this is the most illogical decision I've seen in awhile.

get a WRX!!!! much better bang for your buck!!! and how much is the short shifter gona go for?!?

well, you have a couple options if you think abotu it.

one, you can get the celi repaired again for free.

the other option is get the celi repaired and then trade it in towards another car that you like where you don't run teh risk of misshifting it.

there is a bunch of awesoem cars coming down teh pipeline in the next 6 months or so, so you *may* want to keep that option open.

but the RSX Type S..no, not if you're having misshift problems.

i am expressing my full sympathy here on your car... since a Celica is quite an expensive car (especially the GT-S )... but before you buy your new RSX ... i really suggest you and your friend to learn how to drive a manual or go take class like "how to change gear 101" somewhere.... for the most effective method, get an automatic... an ECHO 4-speed auto maybe... ^0^ then you won't have to worry about this issue no more...

honestly, i really feel tired of hearing people say how they mis-shift thier celicas and blame on the tranny blah blah blah... i have my 6spd celica for quite a while and i never mis-shift it once or never feel this is any problem on changing gear. personnally i would say it's ABSOLUTELY the driver's fault if missing 3-4 and did 3-2... it shouldn't even happen on the worst manual car currently in the market.

i might keep the car, and wait till the end of the yr and move up in life, then go for a 3series. i appreciate ur help, u had a great effect on the decision i made.

i really suggest you and your friend to learn how to drive a manual or go take class like "how to change gear 101" somewhere

i posted this because i wanted to hear some "good" feedback, much like what SlasherX posted. not to be insulted, thnx

and yes it IS driver fault, i never said it wasnt, nor did i ever "blame" the tranny

[SlasherX]

no problem, thats what we're all here for. sorry to hear about your Celi. Good luck in your decision, keep us updated.

it's teh drivers fault, but when a lot of driver's do it, it isnt the best thign to single one person out.

quite simply, the tranny is more advanced than what the typical U.S. car buyer has experienced, and it has caused some problems, resulting in the 2002 Celica.

No need to insult the guy, we're all well past that stage in this misshift issue, or at least, I'd hope we were.

I know that if i had bought a GT-S 6 speed like I was originally interested in, odds are that I prob. would have mishifted it, and I don't consider myself a Novice driver by any means.

Yeah, I think so. after I read all these messages, I found out that I am not the only one who blown up my GT-S engine. You guys should give us some good advises. Thank you

[krazyone]

hey slasher, u think the motor is gonna be a P.O.S. after the rebuild? i think after 1 yr driving the car w/o mis-shifting again, i did pretty well. should i just keep it?

[gts24]

It'd be alot different if he'd come on here blaming the car. But he didn't I will give him that. Flamez will be guranateed when/if you come on here blaming Toyota for screwing up when you misshift.

thnx man, ya i do blame it on myself, i WAS careless. But i assure u I (myself) did pretty well to avoid another mis-shift. It was just my stupidity to allow someone else to drive the car.

i've heard problems on the rebuilds rnaging from vvtl-i no longer kicking in, to bad valves that needed to be replaced(how you miss that on a rebuild..) and otehr problems..basically from wha ti gather, and i may be wrong, but the rebuilt motors are enver quite as good as they were fromt eh factory cuz of how tight the tolerances on teh engine are.

how long is your warranty? if its going ot be up anytime soon, id get out of the possible mouse trap as soon as i could wit the misshift issue. otherwise, if you dont mind losing your car every year..stick with it..i know personally, id be a bit pissed if that became a regular occurance with my car. (being in the shop)

[krazyone]

ive only had it for 1 yr, and theres 16k miles on it right now. my only worry is that, lets say after the rebuild, and something went wrong, they are gonna deny warranty coverage, due to the fact that it was rebuilt and everything. what if the problem is different, like the tensioner problem or something.

[gts24]

Also consider the costs of getting a new car.

Trading in a car that's fudged up or trying to sell it may be a lot more costly than just going out and buying a crate motor, or finding a wrecked Celica's engine.


Seriously take a look into just dropping in another engine, being more careful and NEVER EVER letting a friend drive your car. I've had friends ask if they can drive my car, I will not let them. This car is something that has to be learned very slowly and cannot be just jumped into if inexperienced.

I think that if re-building becomes to costly, just find a new ( :) really used) motor and drop it in and you are SET.

[wairedstick]

Last time I was trying to shift from "6" to "5" (in 105mph) , but, somehow I miss shifted to "R", my lovely engine blown up, the hood came off because the engine poped up and pushed the whole hood out!! I took it to the dealership, and the inspector told me I need 22k to fix the car, I think he is trying cheat my money, dont' you guys think so??

they rebuild it, they warranty it. dotn worry about that.

how many more miles left on your warranty?

see you gotta think long term..like ocne the warranty is up, how much longer do you want this car, etc. with all that factoree in, then decide if its the right car for yu long term, despite any misshift possibilities and expensive motor rebuilds.

Basically I'm just assuming that you're gonna go through a ton of trouble with the dealer. I mean obviously I don't think they are gonna cover your misshift? are they?

So if you even try to repair , then trade your car, you're gonna get screwed, over and over.

this might just be the best way to do it.

If you need more searches, just go to www.qwestdex.com and search for junkyards or wrecking there,

Also, just do a search on www.yahoo.com for junkyard search engines and you should come up with a few hits.

one thing to keep in mind though..is if he gets it rebuilt by his dealer, the motor will be warrantied and if it blows again, it can eb rebuilt again for free.

if he drops in a used motor himself, none of that aplies and he's $1500 out next time he needs another motor.

I'm just speculating that there is absolutely no way the dealer is going to cover this.

I guess, I'm wierd about warranty stuff. I don't think I'd even have the nuts to ask for a dealer around here to cover a misshift. :(

if you eve rneed help standing up to a dealer, lemme know..i had to do it at myplace once or twice before they realized that i wasnt going to be another stupid college kid.

after the first battle of wills, ever since, they know me by name there and treat me with great service and respect. fi only their sales department was worth a ****, id buy my next Ford from them. Ah well..

oh no, they are gonna cover it the 2nd time, its there right now, im just waiting for them to finish. i already sent in a thank u card to toyota and the dealership for covering it. i got VERY lucky. but dont take this as "oh they fixed the engine twice for so and so," NO they arent, i just got lucky.

[gts24]

Ok,

that changes things.


Just be extra careful when you drive. I have the TRD SS and I have never misshifted, and the overwhelming majority of 6 speed owners have not as well.

Just dont' let stupid people drive your car. I let my wife drive it, but she is WELL schooled in the fact that she needs to be overly careful. She also drives nothing but manual's so that is a +.

If they get your car fixed right you should be fine. IMO

[Ntence99]

If its under warrenty,why wouldnt they cover it?My toyota dealer told me that I can put a tubo or sc on my car.(as long as I brought it back more or less stock) and he'll hook me up.

you're not kidding. they will NOT cover it. had a friend with a type-r that blew his motor. they might as well have laughed at him when he took it in thinking he would get it fixed under warranty. ain't happening.

[Chui]

And just WHY would that be "illogical"? If you mis-shift, by definition the driver made the error. Honda should not cover it.

Toyota has experienced a plethora of mis-shift claims and, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Toyota make some small modifications to the gearbox to reduce the probability of mis-shifting? The fact that they put that stupid chime feature to let you know you've placed the gearbox in reverse is also a clue. Then there are comments from the automotive press declaring that "first and third are too close together" leads me to believe that Toyota wrangled their hands over their neat-shifting gearbox, but tried to skip some "Component and Subsystem Guidelines" and they paid. Dearly. And many of it's customers did, too. Unacceptable.

[LEDmod]

Been watching RSX-S aftermarket parts... and Celica parts... there aren't that much different as of now..
They all have like AEM/Injen intake exaust... etc..
Greddy turbo... for RSX-S they don't have plan on when they gona release.. it.... only thing that RSX-S has the header.. which Celica GTS doesn't have... that's about it..
Celica responds much better with similar mods.....
Looks better.. all the way.... (maybe I have Celica.. it might be bias....) but I just have to say it's worst then the older model...
Hopefully I don't missshift my car... it's new.. first time having manual car... driving my car for 3 days now...
Still in the process of breaking in the car.. so I always stay under 4k rpm.... ^^
Without going FI... Celica is superb over RSX-S.....
Hey... Celica NA's fastest was like 14.2 and fastest NA RSX-S was liek 14.6 as I've checked month ago.... maybe they gone faster.....
Well.. I think you should keep Celica highly recommending.....!!
If you are bored with Celica then go for the RSX... it might be something new for while....
If you want to go for FULL mods.. go for RSX... they do have little more parts and will be lot more parts for it... but just basic mods.. not to heavily.. mod... Celica is well worth it......

[GT-S 66]

Are there any types of cut-offs on rpms possible? Don't you think that someone could create a chip or something that cuts the engine off when RPM's exceed 8500 or so? I mean technology should, by now, be able to stop the engines from blowing up by misshifts. Tell me what you guys know about this.

Thanks,

its illogical to me cuz the guys misshifted before, runs the risk of doing it again, so he either has the choice of toyota repairing it for free next time, which they do. OR having Acura not cover anything when he does it and him having to repair it all himself out of his own pocket.

That wouldn't be possible. Because if you mis-shifted from 3rd to 2nd at a high speed/RPM traveling at 80+mph, your engine, despite a "chip" shutting the engine off, would still rev to ~10,000RPMs, blowing the engine. Unless this "chip" would dis-engage the clutch after 8,500 RPM, you still end up with a blown engine.

Just as an FYI, here's a post about one Type-S with just an AEM hitting 14.2's. But I really wouldn't let quartermile times be the main reason for buying a particular car anyway. There are so many other reasons for buying a certain car like style, handling, interior, and emotional impact.

http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=175188


My advice is to keep/buy whatever car you really want to drive and be seen in. If you really want to keep the Celica, then keep it and don't worry about the misshift issue. You already said you learned to be careful and aren't going to let others drive your car so it'll be fine. If you really want to try a new car and since this is an opportunity to try something new..... go for it. You're still young. Later when you're older and have other responsibilities, you'll probably have to be practical and save money and won't get to swap cars too often anymore.

well, ya i really want to keep the car. so i decided to stay with it, till i find something better than the celica, and ofcourse in the price range.

i've had no problems with my rsx-s at all. only thing that's bothering me is there is some 1-2 gear notchiness, but that'll be fixed with my revo ss. the car runs great, i've never misshifted, it's hard to do if you're paying attention. if this car were to ever have problems, though, i would probably get a wrx or cross my fingers and wait for the lanevo VII. but the rsx-s is a great car for now. :)

hey slasher, u think the motor is gonna be a P.O.S. after the rebuild? i think after 1 yr driving the car w/o mis-shifting again, i did pretty well. should i just keep it?

my engine was rebuilt, put about 15k miles on it and it still runs fine... *knocks on wood*
