Yeah, he is the wrong driver, an ex SFPD motorcycle cop. I stand corrected on his HP it is 662 Shelby Cobra. Anyway, just got motoring lights around here in the past couple of years and drove my NSX from Vallejo to Vacaville the other day in third gear, and that's about 20 miles. Oh well, due...

Great power but where do you unleash it nowadays? The freeways around here are nothing like in 1991 or 2005 for that matter. My buddy with 400 HP is regularly passed at 85 by Kia's while he sails along at 80 avoiding CHP on his way from Napa to SF CA.

The car that sold for this price had the Comp Tech SC package said to be dealer installed for $16000 as an option. The description of the car goes on to say, "It's hard to say whether the Comp Tech blower aided or hindered the price of the car." Anybody care to comment on this question.

I am relieved to hear many people are not having problems. Just found out my car has passed last three tests in CA no fails.

Ive been getting alot of feedback on the smog thing. Glad yours passed no problem, mine did as well. Seems like smog is an issue but the cars are still rolling. My car is a gas to drive and I sold a 911 a few years ago because it was a bore to drive. Enjoy!

In my opinion yes. Read the long list of problems in anesthesia's reply to my question on the subject. CA is excessively stringent and every CA buyer should be aware of this in formulating an offer. The fellow I just ran into has spent alot of money trying to get his car smogged. Others have...

If you are in CA check out the threads concerning smog test then deduct from any offer.

I just bought a 91 three weeks ago. If you are in CA you should read the threads on how hard it is to pass smog and if you have a CT exhaust I have been told it is even harder. Read up on it and make your decision to buy. I just found out about these problems two days ago. Had I known my...

Wow what a huge mess and to think I just bought this car three weeks ago not knowing anything about these problems. I previously had a Euro MBZ that had a BAR sticker and I thought it was a headache to pass, but in retrospect it was a breeze. So, most of the posts in the above link date back a...

Am thinking about changing my stock exhaust to CT on my 91, but ran into a guy yesterday who was pretty frustrated after his 91 just failed smog. Is this an ongoing problem in California?

My Tech knows his stuff and I'm not questioning his judgement. The problem wasn't demonstrated well. We just took it around the block a few times. It is a weird sound though and needs to be addressed. Just thought I would throw it out there to the forum and the response has shown it needs to...

Don't know but will ask my mechanic to examine.

Got stuck in 55 mph traffic yesterday going through Sacramento and the whine is not normal. The sound is like a whine and whistle combined, high pitched and increases in volume when you let off the gas. Tried 3rd gear and still hear it, 4th is the loudest. At 65 it goes away and at 45 it is...

Thanks but does not seem to be ac related. Has been diagnosed as rack and pinion noise nothing to repair. Could be I am not used to the mid engine. I suppose the only way to know for sure would be to ride in another NSX.

My newly acquired 91 makes an odd whining humm noise at 55mph especially when I let off the gas peddle in fourth gear and is there but less noticeable in 3rd gear. If I step on it the noise disappears. This is not an air leak noise. Don't hear it in fifth gear at 65 and up. Any ideas? Am a...
