Yes, I'm familar with Scott and Autofix. Have several clients that won't take their ordinary cars anywhere else. But, I'd be a little worried about the depth of their NSX experience. Assuming you have one that goes there, helps. I would certainly take the everyday Honda or Toyota or such...

Hmm... AutoCheck shows this car was involved in a reportable accident in '96: "04/14/1996 NASSAU COUNTY, NY State Agency COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE (Case #:62882490)" It's been retitled 6 times (2 of those times a few months after the accident), and in multiple states. It's...

I tend to want to follow the book on service and maintenance, no less, but no more either. Just as soon not have shops under the hood more than necessary. Neillo would be half the driving time (or less) than Hilltop, for me. I'd probably rotate between the two, on occasion. Sometimes one...

How much are people paying for a pre-purchase inspection (especially in Northern California), now? Any cost (and tech) advantages to combining the pre-purchase inspection with a 90K service, assuming the car checks out OK, before you authorize the full 90K service? Would you rather have the...

Well, it does tell me that you're one of those pilots that_doesn't_ always want to hear a motor. :biggrin: I've done a few glider flights (not rated), great fun! This NSX "over-maintenance" issue interests me as I carnut (and pilot) for the very reason that *unless* I trust the shop and...

Thanks, my bank account thinks your response is very reasonable, but the pilot part of the brain (that always likes to hear a smooth running motor) wants to be sure. I suspect Honda knows what they are talking about with those recommended intervals. When I read about all the "better than by...

I've "hauled ass" in the one I'm driving... :biggrin: The age of the reader here...may determine what they think that means... :wink:

When would you replace the timing belt, water pump (and cam seals) that were already done at 60K, again, on a NSX approaching 90K? Seems to me there are (at least) two reasonable answers here, either replace them again at 120K, or at the 90K major service? This is on a '93 very well maintained...

This is the current wheel/tire/suspension setup on the '93 NSX Coupe-89K miles. 17" and 16" Blades Steel OEM NSX wheels from 1998 to 2001 NSX models, Falken Azenis Sport 245/45-17 (new) and 215/45-16 (50%) tires, Eibach springs installed, OEM stock springs included with the car. I'm already...

I've got just enough sense to start leaving my wife out of this discussion! :biggrin: Actually, she is a remarkably tolerant lady who's spent some wild times beside me on some "interesting and challenging" airplane flights, boat trips, and sports car drives. (Once owned a no-heater...

I'm an auto broker. Regularly, help folks buy and sell BMW, M-B, Lexus, Infiniti, etc, etc, GT and sports type cars (plus a lot of just ordinary cars and trucks). Which means I also drive those cars and have owned more than a few. A BMW 5 series or M3 or other GT (or sports car) just doesn't...

I agree with everything you say about the NSX, I'm driving one now, and have owned (or at least driven) a number of "GT" type cars, including the M3. The mod questions are with the idea of making a good thing even better...most mod talk here is to go "harder edge", just wondering out loud if...

So lets say you're an aging baby-boomer (I am) and want to make your NSX more of a "Grand Touring" (comfortable and quiet) everyday car than a hard-edge race car. What mods do folks do? Tires, suspension, noise suppression, etc? Yea, I know, easy answer, just buy a more GT like car-but-I...

3 NSX in "backwater" Stockton, California in the same hour! Amazing. Man, I couldn't believe it yesterday, 4/18. Took a black/black NSX I'm selling down Pacific Avenue to get gas and saw another black one and a red one all in less than 1 hour, around 6:00 pm, shopping malls area. Darn things...

Thanks for that info. From what I've read here on the forums, I'd probably take an NSX to that tech here in Stockton at the Acura dealership for the easy stuff, oil changes, etc-but drive the car into Don's Hilltop Auto Service in Daly City for the major services, particularly since that's...

Any suggestions for good NSX service and maintenance shops in the Cal Central Valley. I.E. Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, California areas? If not independant shops, Acura dealers with real NSX experience? Specific mechanics? If no Central Valley suggestions, how about East Bay side of San...
