I'm a little late posting this but as of Sept 14, I'm officially in the 200k club. I say 'officially' since the odometer now shows it but I've been over 200k for a while since I run 60 series snow tires in the winter (instead of stock 50s) which add an extra 6% or so. I'd guess for the 11...

Tried to post this in vendor experiences with no luck so maybe more appropriate here. Most of us are aware of the capacitor failures that have affected the electronics in the BOSE amps; head unit; etc. I've even seen them in the TCS module and the SRS (airbag) controller. For years, Brian K...

I just wanted to give a shout-out to Brian K for his continued support of the NSX community and his recent addition of his SRS control unit repair. Most of us know about the capacitor problems which have caused problems with a number of the NSX electronic components and Brian has a long...

Not sure how accurate this source is but the article is very recent: http://paultan.org/2016/02/29/honda-nsx-type-r-to-get-significantly-more-power/ - - - Updated - - - More recent speculation: http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2016/2/28/5-Things-Acura-Could-Do-To-Make-A-Proper-NSX-Type-R-7732199/

I don't know if any of you have been following the reveals at NAIAS in Detroit this week but Acura rolled out what it called the 'Precision Concept' which is supposed to give hints of their future design language. It's arguably more edgy than some of their recent stuff but if you thought that...

So, my clutch 'failed' the other day and I'm looking for advice on what the problem might be. The car is a '91 with 191k miles and there's about 100k miles on the clutch but it hasn't been slipping and still pulls hard when it's engaged. I was turning a corner from a stop light and got on it...

Just thought I'd post some pictures of the 'open heart surgery' I did on the SRS cabling this week. I had had an issue with the SRS light coming on after some issues with the evaporator overflowing into the passenger footwell. Turns out the fuse was blowing so next step according to shop...

I've been running a set of OEM 16/17 chrome wheels for a while and the chrome is flaking badly so am looking for replacements. I scoured the Wiki looking for pictures of what the original OEM finish options were but couldn't find any. In addition to chrome, I gather that some were a gunmetal...

A number of years ago, a project was started to create a 'registry' of known NSXs by VIN and the information is still available in the NSX Wiki on this site. The information was categorized in a number of ways, one of which was a list of VINs of salvaged NSXs. There were a number of Prime...

Now it's the 918. http://globalnews.ca/news/1587708/watch-rare-porsche-918-spyder-catches-fire-at-ontario-gas-station/

Sept 2014 issue of C&D has a section on 2015 'new cars' and for the NSX they say "The mid-engined NSX will go on sale late in 2015 as a 2016 model ... and should have a base price just over $100,000. The engine will .. displace slightly less than four liters. ... We expect the NSX to make...

Over time, there have been many threads about the NSX sound system; why isn't it working?; how can I fix it?; how can I upgrade it; etc. There is some content in the Wiki about it but some of it is dated and doesn't deal with some of the things that are available today so I had intended to...

Corvette just announced a new Performance Data Recorder feature .. integrated with a GoPro like camera built into the rear-view mirror. Acura .. are you listening? http://media.gm.com/content/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2014/Jan/14naias/Corvettes/0105-corvette-pdr.html

http://newsroom.jaguarlandrover.com/en-in/jaguar/news/2013/09/jag_pre-frankfurt_release_020913/ I remember the concept from 2011 or 2012 but obviously it wasn't just a one off concept. It looks like they jettisoned the dual gas turbines in favour of a 1.6L engines that cranks out 500hp .. with...

FYI .. Audi has just revealed some sketches of their Quattro concept prior to the Frankfurt show. I'm not sure if this is the right forum to discuss it on but I mention it because I expect people will consider it potential competition for the NSX and it has a number of features that are...

Last time I had the car in to Acura for a 4-wheel alignment, they said they couldn't loosen the adjustment nut on the passenger rear (see attached picture - just below center). I have some new Bilsteins that I'd like to install but not sure I want to embark on that until we can free the...

As some of you may have read, I have been fighting an intermittant issue for about a month now where my TCS light came on .. followed soon after by the CEL. When checking for codes, the most common one has been a 3-1 which points to a problem with one of the signals between the TCS and the ECU...

I have a '91 that is pretty much a daily driver. Drove a couple of miles the other day to an event; then car sat for an hour; then drove about 1/2 mile and TCS light came on; then car stumbled; then CEL came on. Drove home ..car seemed mostly ok but with the odd clicking from behind seats and...

One of the NSX topic areas that tend to get a lot of posts are those that deal with the sound system. The most common are those that deal with the amps going bad and in the past, but there were also a lot of posts about problems with the CD changer. Of late, there are still issues with the...

I wanted to start by giving props to Prime users Mugenlude and shawn110975 (and maybe unnamed others) for thanklessly contributing over time to the list of Salvage vehicles in the Wiki. This list was originally migrated over from the old FAQ and anyone can add entries. But I'm happy to report...

Lud and I are excited to announce the first anniversary of the NSX Registry on Prime. After many years of discussion and debate about the creation of an NSX Registry on Prime, we settled on a design/implementation strategy and one year ago this month, the NSX Registry was born as an extension...

This new Wiki page should be of interest to all owners of 2002 or newer NSXs or those who have done the 2002+ headlight upgrade and who are experiencing headlight 'bounce'. This is caused by poorly designed headlight clips and Prime User: comtec had previously created a very well documented DIY...

For those of you with burnt-out bulbs, here's a handy reference list which will allow you get replacements prior to starting the project and opening things up. This is another example of condensing and converting an existing thread into a Wiki page. Thanks to Prime member HIJACKER who...

This is going to seem like strange timing but I've been working for over a week to consolidate the information from over a dozen threads on the topic of changing coolant hoses and didn't know until this week that it was also going to be a topic in the most recent NSXDriver magazine. I haven't...
