    If you broke a timing belt, how many miles were on it and what age?

    Emac, did you wash your parts? They do look perfect. I should have waited longer :cool: ! I'm going to feel bad if someone reads our posts, decide not to do the mx, and explodes their engine!

    If you broke a timing belt, how many miles were on it and what age?

    I offer this post as merely a data point in the timing belt discussion. I recently changed the timing belt (plus all the other recommended items) last year w/90K miles on the car. Prior to that the timing belt was changed in 2000 with 60K. 18 years/30 miles. The belt that came out of the...

    Axle Hop?

    Hey guys, I'm trying to diagnose a problem with my NSX before I take it to the dealer. Awhile ago, I had the misfortune of spinning off the road in my NSX. :redface: Fortunately I didn't hit anything. At the time, the only casualty was a flat left rear tire and ripped off front spoiler...

    Alignment issues (seized toe control arm)

    I appreciate the help! I'll give Harold a call. When I go back to the shop, I'll mention the idea of twisting the bolt the other way. Since they'll be no issue with breaking the control arm (with a spare on hand), maybe they'll be able to unseize the bolt!

    Parking. Why is it....

    So is there a "comprehensive" list of parking lots rules to follow out there? A couple of things that I look for: 1. WIND. Which way is it blowing? Many dings come from people opening their doors and let them slam open in high winds. So aways park "nose into the wind" so that the doors...

    Hydraulic Front Lift?

    You can try the "trunk monkey". However due to their increased strength they require more trunk room. :biggrin:

    right wheel well condenser fan cover

    I'm not sure what this part is called, but I'm missing the plastic part that covers the AC condensor in the right wheel well. I didn't notice it missing when I bought the car. I've never asked for one before because it seemed like such a strange part, but what the hell. Thanks, Nick
