    Early Turn Signal Cancellation - Its Unfixable!

    Turn Signal Cancellation fix update. Great news! There are many part# 35285-SL0-A01 for sale on eBay. I recently developed turn signal cancellation issues, too. It became obvious when I turned the steering wheel and heard mechanical clicking from the top of the steering column. Switch circuit...

    Dreaded clutch switch

    Not a "5 minute fix". I've done quite a bit of work on my '91 NSX and don't remember a job as difficult (or frustrating) as this fix. Initially, I thought I could remove the driver seat and get "easy" access. No way. After an hour of trying (and multiple shimmy ins and shimmy outs to get...

    Airline/Military Pilots and Hiring

    I'm retired AD AF (F-16Cs) and AFRC (A/T-38B/C). Was a TR for 1 year and an AGR in AETC for 11 more. Several of our airline TRs continued their military service with no deployment requirements and the option to massage their airline schedule (trip drop) for mil duty. Only 7 days/month...

    Should I buy an NSX?

    No judgement here from me. I totally recommend getting one, but do your homework. I'm impressed you looked/asked on Prime as research. I love mine. It's been a fantastic hobby. Mine was 235,000 miles old when I got her. Paid $14,000 back in 2012. She was cared for, but just barely. I've...

    Should I buy an NSX?

    The answer is absolutely YES if someone else is paying for it. If you're paying...get one...eventually. You have to be at the right place at the right time in your life, and find the right NSX at the right price. Still too many variables in your 18-year-old life. Get your schooling done...

    Engine hesitation in 2nd, 3rd gears etc below 3000rpm

    I had a similar situation with recently "cleaned" fuel injectors. Spent many $ and much time to eventually change out the fuel injectors with new. Problem solved. You can read many similar threads if you search for "hesitation".

    To perforate or not to perforate?

    Go perforated. You're sitting on them, not staring at them.

    Jeremy Clarkson NSX Review

    Com' on man...that article is classic Clarkson. My daughter gifted me his book, "The World According to Clarkson", for my birthday. Some of his rantings are hard to read. He doesn't much care for America, Americans or what Americans do...who cares. I've put that book down many times and...

    New NSX is not selling? it's overpriced?

    I saw my first gen 2 NSX earlier this week at a dealership in DFW. Black/black. Carbon fiber throughout. $199,000 sticker. Sales manager's third so far. Well....maybe it was the black/black combo. Maybe it's the ridiculous cost for options that took it to $199K. Maybe it's no drive it...

    temporary loss of power during acceleration :(

    Install new fuel injectors. I had the same symptoms with new fuel pump/regulator/resistor and used (but cleaned) fuel injectors. New injectors fixed the hesitation. Expensive, but worth it.

    Engine- need advice

    Rebuild it! I recently refreshed my '91 C30A at the 230,000 miles mark. I wanted to change the TB/WP, learn more about the mechanicals and ultimately gain an appreciation for the engineering of this motor. Upon teardown, you could still see the original hone marks in the bores so I didn't...

    "Solved" my engine sputtering/hesitation problem

    I had the same issue. Fixed with new injectors/spark plugs.

    2016 mdx

    The Pilot's interior is not on the same level of refinement as the MDX's. That said, my 2014 MDX had transmission issues starting around 40K miles. Reluctantly, the NNW Fort Worth dealership replaced the torque converter under warranty. I had to get Acura Client Relations involved and the...

    CEL is on in my 91'

    Last night I replaced the my spark plugs with new NGK PFR6G-11 plugs. Their use with under-performing fuel injectors definitely damaged them. I suspect they where over-temp'ed with the equivalence of a lean A/F ratio. Lesson learned...to run efficiently, internal combustion engines need to be...

    CEL is on in my 91'

    My NSX was in pretty poor repair when I purchased it 4 years ago. I've been methodically repairing/replacing all types of parts. When I first noticed the engine hesitation, I decided to accomplish and engine-out refresh, but didn't correlate the hesitation with the refurbished injectors I'd...

    CEL is on in my 91'

    I finally fixed my sick engine.... To save some cash during my recent engine refresh, I bought refurbished fuel injectors and shipped them off to the west coast to be checked. After a year of trouble-shooting the hesitation and multitudes of cash spent, I've replaced the refurbished fuel...

    Learning on an NSX (or opinions needed from fathers with teenage sons!)

    Congrats on the AP1. Teach her to rev it into VTEC, often. I let my Miata-ownin' bro-in-law drive my AP1 and he just couldn't rev it past 4K RPM until I convinced him. I think the ferocious sound intimidates folks and most think 9K will damage the engine. The brochure clearly states to rev it...

    Confession...

    Buy an AP1 S2000 and you'll never feel RPM-restrained again when you drive the NA. My NSX engine rebuild reveled a 235,000 mile 3.0L with cross-hatch hone marks still visible around the complete bore. Like the 2.0L, the NSX's mill is designed to rev. Just do it...you'll both be happy,

    Learning on an NSX (or opinions needed from fathers with teenage sons!)

    Now that he's experienced one of the best, he'll never be satisfied with anything less...good luck getting the keys back. Maybe you can appease him with an S2000.

    I like the wheels. Clearly an Acura/Honda OEM wheel. How is offset achieved? I can't see the spacers.

    SOS floor mats?

    They are OEM; made in Japan. SOS is the only vendor I could find with 1991 Ivory floor mats for sale. Expensive, but high Honda quality.
