It's hard to say. I think some very light pits are gone, but I drove the car near sunset tonight and I can definitely still see pits. There were about five tiny chips that were visible in most any lighting condition and I focused mainly on trying to get rid of those. I wasn't able to get...

My windshield had some wiper marks and small pits so, after seeing this video: ...I decided to give some of this cerium oxide and a rayon pad a try for a rainy day project. It is really slow going, and it's messy, but it does work! And I can actually see a difference all along the tape...

So fortunately, in the car, the new mats don't mismatch as much as I thought they would. Especially since the carpet isn't quite the same shade as the plastic anyway, and neither of those are the same shade as the leather, etc.

And switching the 5-speed to JDM gears will give the same gear ratios as the 6-speed from 0-100mph while costing much less.

Ah, interesting! I graphed that and yes, if you wait to shift until 8300 RPM and if VTEC doesn't go back to the low cam until 5200 RPM, then the JDM gears do keep you in VTEC while the USDM do not:

That's a great point! That is one place I've noticed it most, slowing down to take a standard 90 degree turn from one road to another at an intersection. 2nd gear is usually too high for that so the car bogs. Going into 1st would be ok except that it requires more time and pressure on the...

If you change your mind about selling, please do an auction for them because I think I would outbid anyone.

I also plotted a comparison with the stick shift car I'm used to driving, a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata: It's clear from that why the NSX gears feel so long. I'm used to 1st gear redlining at 30mph, not 47, and having to shift into 4th at speeds where the NSX is only halfway through 2nd! :D

One of the first things I noticed when I bought my 5-speed NSX was how long the gears feel. I heard the JDM gearset mentioned a lot, so I found the old FAQ entry that has the ratios and speeds (https://web.archive.org/web/20161117235936/http://www.nsxprime.com/wiki/Gear_Ratios), but reading is...

Several commenters have mentioned upgrading to a 2000+ ABS modulator, but I don't think that's an option any longer. Or, at least, not with new parts. Science of Speed no longer has the kit on their site, and Mita still lists it but says it has been discontinued.

Today I took the mats around to a few local shops that do custom interior work, and also an embroidery shop that one of them recommended, but they all agreed that re-embroidering the original mats would be practically impossible. The logo is embroidered onto the carpet itself, so it would...

I received the new mats (PN 83600-SL0-C00ZD) but I'm not very impressed with Honda here. They are the same color code, NH208L, as the original ivory interior parts from a 1991, but the actual color is clearly much more tan. I don't really understand why Honda wouldn't have either kept it the...

AutoTrader doesn't show how long the listing has been up, but CarGurus does, and three of those cars are listed on CarGurus also. The Imola Orange one has been for sale for 363 days. The yellow one with the rims has been for sale for 432 days. And the silver one in front of the dealership...

I was shopping for a while before buying my NSX last Fall, and from what I've seen: there are quite a few NSX's on Auto Trader and other such sites at very high prices that have been on there a very long time. I.e. those are not selling The excellent NSX Current Market Analysis maintained by...

I failed to get a "before" pic of the passenger side, but after several rounds with both a Bissel carpet cleaner using some of their cleaning solution and a drill brush in the bathtub with some laundry detergent, I was able to get these mats looking a lot better, though still not as good as I...

Very cool! I love you guys reissuing all these older items. I'm on your mailing list so I'll keep an eye out for an announcement on these.

Where are you located?

Thank you, that is an interesting idea! I'm going to check with some local shops I've found to see if they can do the embroidery. I found one whose website says “if I can get it on the machine, I can embroider it.”, so hopefully it will be possible. But if not, that idea of attaching an...

That sounds cool! Do you have any pics of the ones she did?

If you run across a post that links to the old wiki that is no longer available, you can still view most of that content with the Wayback Machine website. E.g. I was looking for which interior bits are real leather and found a post that linked to this: https://www.nsxprime.com/wiki/Leather. Of...

Parts of the red stitching in the logos on my floor mats are missing and I'd like to get them looking new again. The new OEM mats available from SoS and Mita only come in ivory/ivory, not ivory/red, so I think restoring the ones I have will be the only option. Does anyone know if it's...
