so lately when i have been driving around, but just on and off, i hear this nose down by the floor on my passenger side. the best way to describe it is it sounds like a piece of metal is rolling around. i did look, and look, and look...... i didnt find anything and am clue-less. any ideas?

 

You didn't take Wicked03 for a ride did you? His brain probably fell out and is rolling around underneath the seat.

 

c'mon now, no more with that guy. its over, i am really looking for an answer....

 

loose bolt or washer hitting the frame

 

Take your driver seat out and pull the carpet back- inspect everything- that would drive me crazy!

 

Lol sorry. Does it happen more when you brake/accelerate. Taking corners? I know you probably already looked but is it something in your glove box? maybe something underneath the column where the shifter is?

You're cute btw

 

that wing on that rsx on your myspace is hidious

 

lol thanks....

i notice it mostly after i've been driving for a min. def. not with braking, more at higher speeds, 40+, nothing in the glove box...i really want to try and avoid ripping everything it but i think thats what its going to come down to...

 

huh? i dont have my myspace posted....my car domain?

but thank you for un-necessarily bashing my boyfriends heavily modded, gorgeous RSX, with a not so cheap Wings West spoiler

 

sorry cardomain

 

OWW! lol. Sorry wish I could help. Im stumped. I hate odd/annoying noises coming from vehicles. Makes me wanna trade it in.

 

yea im getting to the end of my rope....maybe in the next couple hours some more people will post some ideas...if not...looks like im going in deep tomorrow (lol and i mean that G-Rated)

 

Heh heh. Yeah maybe someone who actually has good idea as to what it might be. Now its kinda like a bunch of dudes hitting on you and making fun of your boyfriends car.

 

yea really, my boyfriends car that has a ridiculous amount of suspension, handles like a go-kart, and looks damn sexy....
i must have missed that i made this thread about his RSX?
Help me with my noise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

have you thought about going to the dealer and hving them find the noise

 

not if i dont have too, im lucky to have a few amazing mechanics in my life and am just going to see what they can do. i just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas or has had this problem

 

Nschi, I know the feeling. I was driving around for over a week with a noise coming from my back seat area that sounded just like a can of spray paint with the agitator rolling around every time I turned, stopped etc.... I looked and looked and finally one day found a pen cap someone had left in a cup holder. Good luck but don't forget to look in strange places like the console, cup holders for something rolling around.

 

i dont know what you are talkin about that rsx is dead sexy....and to Nschi this was happening to me and it turned out a socket from my socket wrenches had been left and rolled under my passenger seat and was just rolling around....good luck finding your problem.

 

do you have intake?

 

not yet

 

k nvm...

 

I bet it’s your stainless steel exhaust system making popping sounds as it's cooling down.

 

its more of a rattle than a pop...literally, if you put a metal piece in a can or something and shake it around, thats my noise. my boyfriend had an exhaust leak and its not that pop, and its def. more of a noise than my exhaust cooling, ive had this car for awhile and the noise just started

 

myspace? myspace and cardomain are nothing alike but ok. that spoiler on the rsx looks just like the stock one. have you looked at your spoiler that came with your car? you have alot of nerve to call it hidious when it's less flashy than the ss/sc spoiler.

 

i'm thinking it's maybe something inside one of the doors. if a nut came off of the regulator or something like that, it could be slideing around in there. the inside of a door is a long straight path of bareish metal. happened on my E21.

note: it's not my car, but that RSX would be one that i'd point and laugh at... and i don't hate RSXs
