just found out after just fixing my idle pulley which was shot the water pump and a/c clutch are bad as well... any clue how much repairs would be and if this is something i can do myself?

i did the a/c / p/s delete.
no more a/c issues.

i really don't know if it is an easy, cheap fix. so far, nothing on this car has been easy / cheap.
i once bought a shift knob that actually fit with no modding, thats about it.
when i did my delete, the engine was out of the car, so everything was really easy to get to.

I personally like A/C for those real hot days. But until I get a new compressor Im using the Adjustable K-tuned ac/power steering(only for rsx) kit. It works real well and comes with a nice beefy KTuned belt, I think it ran me around 175 shipped.

As for the water pump, it kinda sucks but if you have the tools you can deff get it done. There is a thread somewhere about they make noise like that. I think there is also a how to replacement thread over on honda tech somewhere that might help you out a bit with replacement.

Your water pump is not chain driven, its on the other side of the engine. Its serp belt driven. Hmmmm part number should be 19200-PNA-003 the stock honda unit also comes with the gasket.
