    Is your driving being secretly tracked by your phone apps for insurance companies?

    You're probably safe. Selling user data would be very much against their best interests.

    Yeah, but engine and transmission were rebuilt in 2019.

    What do NSX drivers carry for a spare tire?

    Yeah, for sure. But even if you can mount and inflate your own spare (and make room in the trunk for your removed wheel+tire) in 15 minutes, do you really save any time vs relaxing in your disabled car for 4 hours while you wait for a tow truck? I mean, these cars need oddball tire sizes --...

    What do NSX drivers carry for a spare tire?

    Depends on what you mean by "usable". You can drive slowly for a few miles on basically any tire that holds air. My 1994 spare looks brand-new; I'd expect it to work fine in an emergency,

    What do NSX drivers carry for a spare tire?

    A pair of pliers is a helpful addition to the tire-repair kit. Makes it easier/possible to remove the object that punctured the tire. Also, lack of access to the rear tires can make repairs very difficult unless the wheel is first removed from the car. So make sure that whatever jack you put in...

    What do NSX drivers carry for a spare tire?

    Fix-a-flat, mobile phone, and a credit card (and optionally a AAA card) will solve most tire problems. If you think you'll need to repair a puncture yourself, you can carry a kit like this (although it can be hard to use on sportscar rear tires): Western Weld Professional 65 Piece Flat Tire...

    Highest Mileage NSX?

    Yeah, they run forever. I've put 320K+ miles on mine with just ordinary maintenance and occasional replacement of aged rubber and plastic bits. Engine and transmission have never been opened.

    What areas need PPF

    PPF can lift factory paint, too. The risk starts to really increase if you leave it on the car for more than 4 or 5 years.

    What areas need PPF

    My experience with PPF is that it's best to do either all of the car or none of the car (or just a few tiny areas like behind the wheels, front bumper, etc). With none of the car covered, the paint looks great and you can buy tons of touchup with the money you saved. With all of the car...

    non track use brake pads

    Project Mu B-Force here, with OEM calipers and slotted OEM rotors. More dust than @Honcho's NS, but good feel, good bite cold and very good hot (well, warm -- none of these would be great for the track even with street tires), no noise, low rotor wear. Same cool color as all of Project Mu's pads.

    Loose driver’s door handle

    @Radarnyc if you remove any of those screws, remember where the gold and black go. They're not interchangeable, but they're not different enough to prevent you from damaging a mounting hole by forcing the wrong screw into it.

    SmarTenna installed

    I can take pictures of mine this weekend. But you can also contact BZ directly and ask for the PDF instructions. He's friendly, even though he's a bigshot satellite engineer now. Email address on the page you linked should still work; if it doesn't, let me know and I'll call him.

    Throttle cable replacement

    Seats and carpet are still out of my car, and I'm considering doing exactly that, because otherwise it'll be impossible to disconnect the cable from the throttle body in the future. Sigh.
