    KW Variant 3 Longevity (~95,000 miles)

    After 12 years and ~95,000 miles one of them finally started to leak from the top adjustment. After procuring a new set with which to replace them (less down time than a rebuild, though that's still going to happen), I figured I'd see how worn out they actually were and did something of an...

    NSXPO 2018 Video Thread

    AJ started the photo thread so I figure I'd start the video thread. Feel free to highjack with any other videos. For those not following on social media, my wife and I decided to daily vlog our trip from TN to CA (and back) as well as during the event. Day 1 of the event: [EDIT] Day 2 is...

    NSX @ Atlanta Motorsports Park

    It seems the new transmission/clutch are doing fine, I'm trying to get some shake downs on the car and more practice with my cameras early in the year so I'm ready for XPO, lol. AMP was fun. Kinda like Barber MSP....if you took out most of the straight bits, and just left the turns and...

    "How to Kill an NSX" video

    I linked this to the facebook group, but I figure it's "distilled-enough" NSX content to warrant a forum post. Most of the information in the video was gleaned from my own experiences and the experiences of others as related or documented on these forums, I just condensed it into a video with...

    Powertrain WTB: 5spd manual transmission (entire), not-in-snap-ring range.

    The snap ring finally failed on my '92 and the time/cost of the rebuild has me looking at what's available to plug/play with. Ready to buy now, would need to be shipped to Ohio if it isn't within a half day's drive of East Tennessee. Thanks, and I look forward to getting the old girl back on...

    Tires FS: Pair of new (still stickered) Toyo R888 - 205/40-17 mfr 03/15

    As stated I have a pair (2) Toyo R888 tires in 205/40-17. This size will fit the front of an NSX with no rubbing (my experience, YMMV depending on wheel offset). I went a different direction with tire size for the front of my car so have never installed these. I feel it's important to state...

    Wheels FS: Advan "low type" center caps - gloss black

    SOLD Advan "low type" center caps - gloss black As stated, one full set (4) gloss black (real) Advan "low type" center caps. I bought these from I think another Prime member 5-6 years ago, never installed them, forgot I had them, and then sold my Advan wheels. My derp is your gain :). They...

    "Frunk" storage easy-button!

    Yay, no more wasted space where the spare tire used to be! Like many I've updated the wheel/tire package on my car such that the space saver spare is just dead weight, and have therefore removed it along with the bracket from the car. This leaves a large, but inconveniently-shaped and...

    Repairing the dashboard foam (structural foam)?

    While under the dash for other reasons, I frustratingly discovered a break in the super-rigid foam that makes up the dashboard. This probably explains the new squeak it had developped. No idea when/how it happened (best guess would be bracing/knocking my knee there during an autocross or...

    Interior Wanted: Lower dash trim panel (Drivers side, under steering column) 77210-SL0-A01ZA

    I've been nursing this one along since I bought the car (it had 2/4 of it's tabs broken when I bought it). I was forced to remove it again to get to something under the dash and it finally pretty much fell apart. 'Would love to replace before 'XPO. Part number is 77210-SL0-A01ZA, in black...

    Compliance Pivot/Caster Adjuster re-assembly quesiton

    I have the entire front suspension off of the car and off for new ball joints. While I was in there I decided to finally take care of the seized caster adjuster on the driver's side. Some thorough PB-Blaster marination and rubber mallet encouragement later, and voila, I can now actually...

    '91-'92 Cruise Control Actuator cross-reference/update/backdate?

    It seems that my cruise control actuator has packed it in. It seems ridiculous since it still looks pretty shiny and new up there, but 12v straight from the battery elicits no response :(. I note that the CC actuator units change after '93, so I'm stuck looking for a take-off (and have a WTB...

    WTB: Cruise Control Actuator (1992): 36520-PR7-A02

    After some quality time with some test leads and a multimeter, it appears my CC actuator has packed it in. (12V straight to the motor does nothing). The actuator is apparently different for anything later than '93, so this must be from a '91-'93, part number 36520-PR7-A02. Having CC for long...

    HPR Open Lapping video

    We started our 4th celebration a day early at one of High Plains' open lapping Friday sessions. $100 for an afternoon (~80 min of track time) is a helluva value. This was my first time at this track (I unfortunately missed the CO XPO a few years ago). It was trickier to learn than many tracks...

    So, I'm getting married (NSX-Related, I promise)

    So, in July last year I "dragged" my erstwhile girlfriend to Germany and popped the question on top of Nürburg's castle (location, location, location right?). Yes, that means I gave her a ring and the 'ring :redface: She said yes, and we'll be married in September before hopefully attending...

    Steve Ghent (SMGNSX) Ball Joint replacement

    I can now join several others in being very pleased with Mr. Ghent's ball joint service. Steve remained responsive through the entire process and set accurate expectations on turn-around time up-front. I shipped him my ~250,000 mile rear knuckles and control arms, and they came back looking...

    Powertrain WTB: One (1) preferably not-usable connecting rod for a small project.

    Getting straignt to to the point, my plan is to have wedding rings for myself and my fiance either machined-from or cast/forged out of the titanium from an NSX con-rod. Titanium rings are a thing, and can be had generically from jewelers, but I figure it'd be nice to have a story behind them...

    New personal best at VIR

    2:13.419, which is a ~5 second PR for me and was good enough for 3rd in TTB. Unfortunately, I need about 3 MORE seconds to win vs. a couple of E46 M3s on Conti' slicks. I keep wondering if I shouldn't stay in 3rd for T4, but when I've tried that on street tires it never feels right. I may toy...

    Barber MSP, first trip

    REALLY fun track....not all that "fast", but very entertaining. I know I left a lot on the table, but for a first trip I didn't feel too bad. I was only about a second off of a podium in TTB with LOTS of room to pick that time up looking at my video. At least a few sections where I'm not...

    Brakes WTB: '91-'96 left front Caliper Bracket (just the bracket)

    In good condition with no slide/pin-slop. I only need the bracket so that would be ideal, however if you have a whole caliper or a pair of them in good condition and do not want to part-out, I would entertain that as an option.

    Poly/Delrin Front Suspension Bushing FYI/PSA

    Several years ago now, I replaced the rubber bushings in the front suspension brackets with Delrin inserts and aluminum sleeves: http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php/125165-No-more-camber-at-front-!!/page2?p=1397426&viewfull=1#post1397426 This was due to the left-front camber bolt...

    Free length for KW V3 springs?

    I measured mine on the car, but I don't trust the numbers I came up with vs. the commonly available lengths (I'm not sure if they were still slightly compressed, or stretched.) So, what should be the free length for the fronts and the rears for reference? (due diligence: I did search and...

    Playing with a couple of gopros at CMP last month

    Please forgive the sloppy apexes....although that's one benefit of doing this: I can see when I'm like two expletive feet from the apex into T12, lol. (Racer Excuse: Tires had heat cycled well past their prime sometime in 2012, I took them off, tried some nittos, hated the nittos, put the...
