    Brake lights - only when starting with handbrake engaged

    Dear All, Since I had my last TB job with the motor out, sometimes when I start my car (91, MT) with the hand brake engaged, I get the 2 red brake lights on. If I drive, then I get ALB and TCS. If I start my car without the hand brake engaged this never happens and no lights coming when driving...

    Solution for low AC and clock lights ?

    Dear All, I did not find a real answer to this problem. My clock and AC/ventilation have a very low intensity. I think this is a matter of time that they become darker and darker. How can we get them brighter again ? Are there bulbs in the clock and AC modules ? Will new bulbs help recover a...

    My Track & Street Tools

    I realize that I never made a proper post here. So let's talk about my girls. '92 Track Tool I bought the car in 2005. It only had 19'000 km (12 kmiles). Now it has 50 kmiles. Drove it 4 years on the street and a bit on the track till I decided to make it my track tool. I decided not to go...

    SoS VVIS delete kit - what is the truth ?

    Dear All, What to think about this new VVIS delete kit from SoS ? Always heard that deleting the VVIS would affect the torque under 4krpm. The result here seems different. Go or no go ?

    Ball joints : Carbon6, Hardrace, Pride ?

    Because of some play on the lower ball joints, I replaced my rear knuckles by used (but good) ones. So now I have my original knuckles that I can service. What rear lower ball joints do you recommend (track car with slicks) ? I saw that Carbon 6, Hardrace and Pride do provide replacement. Who...

    Wheel size with wide fenders

    On my track NSX, I am now running 215/615 R 17 slick tires on 17x8 ET40. I have -3.5° camber and no liners. No rubbing except a bit at full lock at the fenderwell (normal with 615 mm diameter). What if I go with 20mm wider fenders like the Garage Kite ? My goal is to go with the next bigger...

    91-94 ECU reprog (Honcho ?)

    I did not found any clear information but I saw some posts from Honcho saying that it is possible to reprogram the 91-94 ECU. I think this is a "budget" way to have a good map on lightly modified cars without going to the hardcore Ecutek or AEM. A friend of mine did reprog his track S2000 (only...

    Solid "spherical" bushings

    I don't know how to call them exactly : "solid", "spherical", "non-compliance"... I would like to replace them all. I already have the non compliance rear beam bushings and toe links. That means there are still 5 each side to replace (front upper and lower, rear upper arm front, rear upper arm...

    Wide front fenders

    Dear All, Who is still making wide front fenders ? I mean (close to) OEM looking but a bit wider. I think of Garage Kite that we can get from Mita, but who else with a bit of availability ? I am now running Hankook F200 215/615 R17 front on 17x8 ET40 wheels and 3.5 ° camber without splash...

    JDM short 2nd gear (the quest)

    Dear All, I am starting to collect the parts for JDM short gears. Countershaft, 3rd and 4th short gears seems to be available (Amayama or Christian at ATR Racing). The problem is the 2nd gear (23431-PR8-010). Discontinued from months (Amayama gives a wacky delivery date that shows they do not...

    Mismatch slick tires hardness

    Does one of you run slick tires ? It seems that I am always lacking a bit of temperature at the front tires compared to the rear ones that are really at the right temperature. It is a bit better when outside and track temp is very high in a good summer day, but otherwise it is a bit annoying. I...

    Odyssey & C-Tech incompatibility ?

    I have an Odyssey PC680 on my track car that I use 5 - 6 times per year. Rest of the time, I have a Ctek connected. But when I try to crank, the battery is not charged enough and it is too weak to start the car. After a 20 min track session, it is ok and enough charged to start the car. But not...

    Thoughts on going 15/16, stock or JR11

    I am now running stock 16 / 17 with 15 / 30 spacers and AD08. Really like the ride with small wheels and good tires. Far enough grip for the street rides and lively feel. As I have a set of stock 15 / 16, I was planning to try them next summer. With spacers too (20 / 40 perhaps). But I have...

    Head cover gasket mandatory with timing belt ?

    Simple question : is it mandatory to remove the head covers (and then replace the head cover gaskets) to replace the timing belt ? I am asking that, because my two NSXs do not make a lot of miles between two timing belt replacements and are stored in a dry heated place. So I do not want to make...

    Vented hood for '91. Which one ?

    At bearable price : SoS, Vis, Seibon ? I am not looking for the ultimate fit, as it is for a track car and not for a garage queen. But I do not want 1/2'' gaps as well.

    Slight power loss between 3500 and 4000 - 4500 rpm

    I have a slight loss of power between 3500 and 4000 - 4500 rpm. This results to a kind of power jump, like a (very) mini vtec kicking in at 4000 - 4500 rpm. Well, I feel it because I am a psychopath and I know my car. But anyone else would not even feel it and be upset by this. As this is the...
