I really do not know if anyone can even point me in the right direction. I've always wanted an Rsx. I finally bought a 2006 Rsx type s. It needed a paint job and some body work but I was up for the challenge. I live in pa and went to Delaware to buy a 2006 Rsx type s that had a reconstructed title. I brought the car back to last and that's when it all went wrong. I brought the car to a garage to get fixed up a bit and was going to get it transferred into my name and inspected. I find out since the car has a reconstructed title and came from out of state that I had to get it reconstructed all over again, well the inspection that approves it to drive. It's the enhanced safety inspection which not a lot of garages do I found out. First the guy tells me I had to remove the race header and the aftermarket exhaust and bring it back to stock, that ran me about a grand. Next he said the after market hids were not legal so I had to get stock headlights and that was a nightmare getting all the sockets and everything from the dealer since I could not use the ones from the hids, that cost me about 700 for the headlights. Finally I think I'm going to be able to get the car inspected and the guy tells me he can't because the Srs light is on. So he found out I needed a new driver airbag and a drives seat airbag, I bought new seats since mine were ripped anyway, and another driver side airbag. Then he told me I needed a new Srs control module, I finally found one from an unwrecked Rsx all of that was about 1500. At this point the garage has had my car for 3 months....:randy: he calls me after he installed all the airbag components and was like I can't fix it. He then told me I should just sell it and cut my losses. It went to another garage after that and the guy said he read the codes and it's saying everything I replaced is bad. So he assumed I just needed another Srs module and that my second one was bad also. It took him about 3 weeks to determine that. So at this point I'm so overwhelmed and frustrated I went back to the first garage and asked him if he could do me a solid and just inspect it with the stupid Srs light on. He said absolutely not. I was looking for anyway around the Srs light, I was ready to take out the stupid light itself but someone told me they would be able to tell since it wouldn't come on at all. I am ready to take the car back to Delaware and just get it transferred to my name there since it's already deemed reconstructed in that state. I'm so frustrated, if I would have bought the car off someone in pa with an r title I wouldn't have to redo any enhanced safety inspection. I've already spent double what I payed for the car.. All these garages had no idea what they were doing it seems and I'm at the point where I do not want to spend money replacing anything else since they couldn't fix it. Does anyone know of anything I can do.. This whole thing has me ready to kills myself out of frustration. If anyone has a suggestion or is in pa and knows how to fix Srs problems please let me know I'm desperate.. Thank you
Lost all hope
