    Used or custom tire

    I am an enthusiastic member of the nsx community although I have a tire question for a non-nsx application. I need to find two 285-35-15's. I believe this size was only ever made in the pirelli p7 and the yokohama av intermediate. I simply cannot find this exact size and any close...

    NSX-R Original

    I am a loyal and happy owner of a 1991 with a CTSC, AEM programmable ECU, etc. I love the car as a regular driver. I am looking to buy another car that will maintain or perhaps over time increase in value that I will use perhaps for 2k to 3k miles per year. I have been following Ford GT's as...

    Won't Start

    I have a '91 CTSC with AEM. Cold starting usually takes 2-3 turns of the key. Been that way for 10k miles. Today, I turned the key and everything lights up but when I turn it all the way, all I hear is a single "click" and nothing further. No turning over and no "click, click, click" sound...

    Trickle Charger

    Just installed the odyssey 680 3 weeks ago. No alarm and never use radio or AC and so far the car has sat up to 10 days and no prob starting. Nonetheless, I intend to buy a trickle charger (one with a shut-off when battery is fully charged). Can you guys offer opinions on good trickle chargers?

    Electronics -- CTSC & AEM

    I have a 1991, 3.0, with hi-boost CTSC, methanol inj and aem stand-alone. Recently, I have notice when my headlights are turned on and I hit the braks my TCS light comes on (not the yellow one at the top of the dash area that indicates the bypass -- which is always on, but the one at the bottom...

    Springs - 1.5"

    My '91 CTSC had been a daily or almost daily driver for a long time and so I went with Zanardi springs (.5" - .75" lower) to avoid curbs, parking stops, etc. I also have Type R springs and Bilsteins. 17/18's. I drive it less frequently now and am looking to lower by a total from stock of...

    Head Gasket -- Coolant

    Driving late yesterday and after redlining in 2nd gear, suddenly smoke in the engine bay on my 91 CTSC, standalone aem (pretty well-tuned with "conservative a/f's currently). Pulled over after operating temp sky-rocketed. Coolant everywhere. My guess is a blown head-gasket. Too hot to...

    Volks AV3 "Custom" Centercap

    Can anyone make a couple of these? One popped out during a track day and to date I cannot find a set of two. I would be able to send someone one of mine if they have the ability to make a couple that will pop in place. I have "H" centercap decals so I do not care whether the surface is an...

    Oil Appearing on OEM Airfilter - CTSC

    I replaced my oem air filter and there was oil residue on the lower 1/3 of the filter element and when I pulled it out there was a lightly wet amount of oil on the oem airbox at the point closest to the throttle body. I have a '91 with Autorotor CTSC and methanol injection, stock airbox and...

    Fuel Pump - No Power

    I have a 1991 with a hi-boost CTSC, methanol inj and AEM, walbro 255 fuel pump and 550 injectors. I have put many thousands of miles on my car with this setup. The other day went to start it and my fuel pressure gauge never "jumped" from 0 to around 40 psi as it normally does after about 1-2...

    CTSC/AEM - Fuel Pump Issue

    My hi-boost daily driver has run flawlessly until this past Friday. Went to start the car. My routine is to turn the key 3/4 around, wait and watch until my fuel pressure gauge jumps to 40-50 psi, after which I turn the key all the way and it starts. Fri the fuel pressure gauge never jumped...

    Porterfield R4-S Pads

    I have reviewed a few brake pad threads/posts and have not seen much on these pads. Someone in the NSX community I respect very much highly recommended them for my type of driving -- CTSC'd, but a daily driver streetcar, with a 1-2 time per year track day. I want something that has limited...

    Hi-Boost CTSC -- Intake Questions

    Just added 9 lb pulley + methanol on a 1991 3.0. Stock airbox & throttle body. Anybody with this setup who replaced the airbox (ie Comptech, or Cantrell) and/or throttle body (SOS"jet kit") and what sort of whp benefits did they experience? Thanks.

    CTSC - Smoke

    When I put my foot fully into it for the first time, it seems I get a small "puff" of dark (not blue) smoke. I burn no oil between oil changes. I have no apparent loss of power. I have a 1991 CTSC with AEM, 550 injectors, etc. Thoughts/comments are appreciated?

    Oil Preferences

    I have been a loyal Mobil 1 user for years. I guess I pay more but somehow have peace of mind, even though I recognize that most other synthetics probably provide equivalent lubrication. The other day on a a cable show I believe was called "Horsepower TV", they showed a late model Z28 and...

    WHEELS - Weight vs. Looks

    Would appreciate some opinions and photos of wheels that have both performance (low weight) and looks. I have Volks AV3's which look great but are like a rolling anchor on all 4 corners. On the other end of the spectrum, Enkei NT03's, for example, are very low weight but look odd on the NSX...
