    Cold Air Intakes

    'Hoover' brings up a fine point: the affect of the undulating profile of the stock "accordian" -like tube just prior to the TB. Just where engineering concern should have been on keeping flow as smooth as possible, we have here just the opposite. Obviously, no (true) velocity stack would...

    Engine seems to die for a millisecond

    "ABS code determined that the right rear sensor was bad" -so reads my receipt. I can guess that focus on the ABS came from recognizing the engine running behavior when ABS detects a static wheel. The right rear was culprit. $50 for diagnosis and $170 for a "Vehicle Speed Sensor". I believe...

    Engine seems to die for a millisecond

    And now, for something completely different... I experienced similar behavior that was traced to a single bad anti-lock brake sensor. Dying; sudden momentary loss of RPM; and then (as the problem worsened) occasional long seconds of (seemingly) running on less than all cylinders -were the...

    Stock Shift Boot

    A previous owner unstitched and tossed the fixing ring from my (5-speed) boot in order to install an after-market knob. My knob is the 2002+ Type-R, round with flat base. Looking for either: Advice on where to find an appropriate ring (or 'fixing nut') to use with my current boot or; a...

    Nsx Oem Shift Boot

    Hi Ken, Yes, I'd like to buy your OEM boot if it is un-altered, meaning: it DOES include the stitched-in top ring that snugs it up against the knob. A previous owner of my NSX removed the ring in order to mount an after market knob. Your boot sounds fine. I can do Paypal or fire you a check...

    Vote to keep or lose the User Reputation system

    So, the clever shyster may forever engage in tactful and courteous non-flamed exchanges while engaging in fraudulence on the other side of the divide? Smoke them out, the not- "nice players". Hold them responsible for both their word, and their WORD. Your thought was deep, but look again. Is...

    Vote to keep or lose the User Reputation system

    Frankly, gentlemen, I am at a loss in the understanding as to how a stiffed trade transaction doesn't affect one's "user reputation"? The two are seemingly inseparable... So, personally, I'd value these two supposedly different "reputations" being coupled. I, for one, would then be able to...

    Vote to keep or lose the User Reputation system

    Coincidentally, 2 & 1/2 months ago I chose to trust a fellow NSX Prime member with $2050 of my hard-earned money in exchange for items in his possession. 2 months & 1 week ago that fat check was cashed but I still await the contracted items. Meanwhile, his email address and phone contact...

    some 93 nsx parts, interior and more

    Hi Dave, I'm in need of the "driver's side handle assembly" since my plastic handle has chosen to break..! Also, the "center vent above console" since some knucklehead in my '92's past has manhandled and broken it, so that the lip surround shows unsightly cracks. May I guarantee my personal...

    Plastic Interior Door (unlatcher) Handle

    Thanks for responding guys. Of the three responses so far, only "djoonie" understood my post. I have in my possession the Dali "door fix-it thingies" -which are useless to address the problem of broken plastic in the handle itself. My handle broke at the metal-to-plastic interface where one...

    Plastic Interior Door (unlatcher) Handle

    It's broken. And PRIOR to the potmetal pivot piece. Doing a search indicates that there may be NO alternative to Honda's solution which is to buy the entire door latch assembly at $3-400!! Is there not a vendor to supply the plastic handle alone? Can I recommend to manufacturers that an...

    Wheel Creaking

    The creaking was solved by my technician by application of a chemical to the back side of the brake pad. Anyone out there with this peculiar 'creak' sound at pedestrian speed should write me and I'll refer you to my tech.

    Plastic Interior Door (unlatcher) Handle

    I've done a search and concluded that I may be sunk... My driver side un-latch handle has broken prior to the potmetal pivot piece. Apparently the plastic is especially weak where the tiny bolts attach the plastic to the metal of the pivot piece. As our NSX's age, the plastic pieces become...
