SOLD!

Mahle or Felpro are available for cheap through Rock Auto. They include the valve cover and spark plugs, but don't appear to include 12351-PR7-A00 or 12352-PR7-A00 (which appears to be for the portion of the valve cover that extends to cover the cam gears, which obviously won't have oil...

TTT

Thanks for the suggestions. I bought a 12 mm flare wrench, but it was too bulky to fit around the ball. In the end leaving it for the day to soak in Aerokroil while I went to work was the magic ticket. The balls came right out and I'm rocking the new struts! Small things coming together for...

My engine glass gas struts are weak, made worse by the cold weather (hopefully on the way). I've got some SOS replacements, but I'm having trouble removing the OE struts. I planned on just removing the lower bracket and then upper ball, leaving the OE struts and upper and lower attachments all...

I don't think $700 off for basically brand-new is fair, thanks.

Bump. Price drop $1,200 OBO.

I can ship it at your expense. No sound clips. TBH I've found them nearly useless for all the cars I have (and I've put an exhaust on 3 of them after scouring YouTube for sound clips). FWIW the Endura Lite is often billed as "adult," or pretty mild. I just think when paired with headers it's...

TTT: this quickly got very buried after posting LOL!

I installed this Endura Lite exhaust on my NSX last Fall (car was put back in service at the beginning of this year after major refresh). I paired it with Pride exhaust headers and HFC's. I found the whole set-up to sound awesome, especially for a quick backroad rip, but to be a bit aggressive...

Last Fall I drove an 83K-mile '91 from the Twin Cities to NC (1,200 miles) and made it fine. Things that were less than ideal: -The speedometer is inaccurate and needs a rebuild (leaking capacitors). I wondered why I was overtaking people at such a large delta despite an indicated +9 mph over...

Price?

Don't forget maintenance and insurance! I actually have 8 cars I'm responsible for (too many), two with teenage drivesr. Of those 8, literally 3 have maintenance needs right now that make them undriveable, and a 4th (my NSX) has some small issues that leave it wounded but operational. What a...

It's easier to take a photo of my little 1:18 collection than the real thing LOL. Besides the NSX, any of these other cars serves as a DD, and all offer up something different (including different engine configs).

Just curious if the NSX-R bar is solid or hollow? I've read elsewhere here that the OE is hollow and the NSX-R is solid?

I just finished a ton of work on the car and when I fitted the wheels again I was too enthusiastic snapping the center cap on. Dang! I broke a couple tabs off the back. Anyone have one? Or a whole set? A couple of mine are damaged....Thanks, Sasha

Alright, I've done this now and can answer my own question: the two bolts on the left (driver) side of the rack have metal bushings/sleeves that are inserted from the back side of the rack. You must remove it to remove them. There is no need to undo the tie rods, though, so alignment won't...

PM sent.

So, maybe I was snookered by the low price of the bushings, too, as others apparently were; I read a thread on here where the pay-off of replacing the OE bushings with the SOS bushings is imperceptible to many. I figured what the heck, I'm in pretty deep. But, if I've got to get the car...

Thanks, as always @Honcho. I think part of 15 years of wrenching is knowing when not to be stupid and invite problems. I'll leave this task for the next TB change, I think....

I'm in the middle of a bunch of mods/maintenance, including replacing the alternator and compressor belts. So I figure I'd amortize my work and install the Cedar Ridge pulley shield from SOS. In theory, I can just remove the bolt at the end, pull the pulley, install the shield, and reassemble...

Thanks @Honcho! Some beautiful weather here in NC, just hoping for a little garage time....

Just a follow up on this: I bought an OEM gasket. It came in a ball in a bag instead of nicely flattened on a big sheet of cardboard like the Fel-Pro (it also cost a bit more than 2x). I didn't like the packaging as much, but I swapped out the OEM gasket. Then I was certain to follow the...
