I sent you a PM

I believe that a locksmith scan tool will allow programming of a new NSX key Fob in addition to the dealer. With the first gen NSX you could program a third key yourself. You can find a new un-programmed key fob for the 2017-2022 NSX for around $100 on eBay. You will need to have a dealer...

Thank you, I know you will enjoy the performance improvement. There is a video from SOS on the install if you are doing it yourself.

I believe the Type S NSXs received a slightly greater capacity traction battery and also new programming for how fast the twin motors would go as well as other tweaks. So it is possible. You can probably control the torque of the electric motors which could improve performance off the line...

The JB4 is sold. I still have the electronic modules.

That engine is a work of art. What a glorious sound.

Interesting read on the new Porsche 911 GTS. The performance of the GTS is slightly below that of our 2017-2022 NSX. Base price of the GTS is $168k. You know that options will take that up to just below $200k. Our cars while getting long on the tooth are still ahead of their time and great...

In addition the block, and heads were cast/manufactured by Cosworth in England. So there is that bit of information. That helps make these engines very special indeed. I love the way the engine starts. There is no old fashion starter motor. You get an instantaneous rumble that reminds me of...

So who does a better job of support? Corvette? Porsche?, certainly not Audi or Lamborghini, or Ferrari or McLaren? Acura may be bad on getting some parts, but the likelihood you will need parts is so much worst with other brands that lack reliability.

I hear you about Comptech and Honda having a long term relationship. Having said that, I would also argue that SOS has a long term relationship with Honda/Acura. I think once you go past the exhaust and a simple piggyback unit like the JB4 to a cracked ECU you have crossed the line. What I...

Sounds like you have the steel rotors. I have replaced the pads on every car I have had over the last 15 years. Most recently on my 2020 Tesla Model X, our 2023 Mini Cooper SE (both are BEVs). Even though those two cars use regenerative braking, dust still ended up on the wheels. Ceramic...

Yes, I still have the unit

I don’t believe that the various drive modes impact braking. Given you were driving in the rain there is a lot of debris on the road that is composed of tire material, oils, etcetera. Perhaps your rotors and pads were dealing with this. You did say it just started to rain. So likely the...

I believe as long as you are not showing up at the dealer and saying the car does not meet emissions and your expectation is that Acura will fix it. There should not be any issues. Acura and Honda have always been supportive of tuning as long as you did not alter the ECU programming. I took...

I have in addition to a new never installed JB4 unit for $650 shipped, several other parts. If you have a 2017 NC1, and want Acura Link, then you need the newer Telematic unit. I have one that sells for $1400+ new. Mine is used from a later model car. Selling for $750 shipped. Also have a...
