Previous owner here: I bought the spare used (obviously) for $50 since the car didn't come with a spare. I tried to find someone who carried a replacement tire, but the dealer wanted almost $1k for it. The shift knob was a bit worn when I bought it- don't know why it was that worn. I don't...

Edit 6/16: Car is sold. Thanks Prime!

Bump. Car is at just over 63k miles; still $49.5k firm. Timing Belt, Water Pump, and Valve Adjustment done 5/8/13 at Pohanka Acura.

Monthly bump. Pohanka liked the car and was offering in the $40-45k range. Edit: VIN is missing a zero; here's the correct one: JH4NA21683T000086

I just get mine done at Pohanka, since it's a fixed price. If you're doing state inspection too, they do it for that one for free.

Monthly Bump. Edit: Local shops that have seen the car in the last 2 years include Pohanka Acura, P-Tuning in Manassas (Transmission/tune-ups/repairs- see above), and Road Race Technology (tech inspection) in Sterling.

I know this thread is old, but I'll comment to for others looking. I have the Carbotech 1521 pads (Bobcat replacement), and my experience is similar to MJK's, with the exception of dust. They don't dust nearly as much as BMW pads. They also state that they are not for track duty- you have to...

Monthly Bump. Mileage is 62,3XX. New rear tires (Dunlop Direzza Star Spec, matches front) mounted on August 10. Passed VA state inspection August 11. Plan to do TB/WP towards end of August. (Price will be updated afterwards.)

Jefferson is great for a first time track day (I did it last year). I was topping off 3rd at 105 mph on both straights- could have gone more some times, but I was usually traffic limited and I was focusing on the line, not pure acceleration (limited shifting down to 2nd, so I was usually at...

Bump- car still available. Engine oil was changed a few months ago. Mileage is up to 61,992.

Thanks Michael for hosting and the BBQ. The boy and I had a great time! It was good to meet up with some other owners too. Congrats on the new car, 26M 4NSX! It was also nice to see the Aston too!

+1 (can't make it to Katie's, though) Date : Committed to June 9. We should start getting a head count on who's attending: 1. grybrd 2. io1010i 3. NSXwolf 4. combatdad 5. Patdeisa (w/ boy; 1 hour or so) 6. blue_myriddn (w/wife so others might want to consider, too) 7. 8. 9. 10.

I second both of these- they are very memorable outings. Mesa Verde does require some hiking/ladder climbing to do the best tours.

No, the engine doesn't need to be removed. I had PTuning remove my transmission and ship to SOS when my transmission needed to be rebuilt (blown 2nd gear), which was far cheaper than replacing the transmission.

Often, if a wild animal, such as a bear or mountain lion, attacks or kills a human, they are often put down since the likelihood of them attacking another human is much higher than the average animal. They look at humans as a source of food, rather than something to be afraid of. I have no...

Yep, it's a gamble. The price per earnings is around $100, which is really high. We're all hoping the hype will cause it to go up. Got it at $38 flat, but don't know when (probably late in the day). We'll see how it goes. I only purchased half of what I was originally considering, after I...

It may have had a lip and skirts- it was hard to see across the tall grass/shrubs in the center of the road. It was actually the Fair Oaks area of Fairfax.

Spotted a red NSX on westbound 50 in Fairfax at ~7:20 this morning. It was an early year with a black top, and I believe a black Type-R spoiler.

I went last year, and it was pretty cool to check out the shop and see a variety of cars. If you haven't gone, they have an S2000 engine on a stand with a turbo in ~450 hp configuration. I think they also have a tC turbo engine on a stand too that you can check out. Sadly, I have a conflict...

The biggest issue I usually have are people boxing you in by pacing so they can get pictures or a good look- I've missed highway exits due to not being able to get in the right lane, but I try extra hard not to be a jerk, and just take the next exit. The most annoying drivers have been...

No, what is needed is a replica of the auto-bahn TO Nevada. That way people can get to the 'Ring faster...

Does anyone know if there are coupons out there for the show? A buck saved is a buck earned...

As far as I know, you need to get a bit outside the beltway and still there's usually traffic unless you go at an odd hour. On a 45 or 55 mph road, people will either do 40 or 60, depending on the person (not the speed limit). I'm still looking for something in or near Loudoun, even at speed...

Same for me- likely the 28th.

Bump please. $49,500 firm. Battery tender is on, will change engine oil again soon for winter.
