    Non-Compliance Alignment

    Looking for advice regarding alignment following non-compliance gear install for a street/track setup. I searched for an answer but was unable to find a discussion dedicated to this topic. I know some of the stock alignment specs are to remove compliance from the system, but with a physical...

    BC Forged RS-43's

    I promised to post pictures of these wheels when they came in, so here you go. Unfortunately they had to wait until brakes and tires came in, but here's a sneak preview of the RS-43's in gunmetal with the new Stoptech Trophy Sport brakes. Big thanks to Brandon (GT Theory) for the help getting...

    Tire installer recommendations

    So, I recently had to patch a nail hole in a tire and had the toughest time finding a tire shop that would do the job right without damaging the wheel. Must have gone to or called 5 places. Thought I was taking crazy pills as I seemed to be the only person they'd ever encountered who didn't...

    Decisions Decisions

    Looking for some help/advice from my fellow prime-mates making a decision on wheel/brake packages. Hoping to jump on the BC Forged sale while also upgrading my brakes. The problem is I can't seem to decide on style. So, I'm looking for your input. Maybe I'm being picky, but I'm interested in...

    BC Forged Photoshop Request

    Hi primers, in an effort to support the BC Forged sale going on (link here), I'm looking for anybody with a knack for photoshop (which I don't possess) to help me decide between RS41 and RS43 wheels in 17/18, matte bronze. I like both wheels but can't (read = shouldn't) buy both for lack of...

    Looking for ideas on a 17/18 wheel set that will clear Stoptech calipers and is available in bronze. Moreover, any pictures on a black NA1 would be even better.

    Stoptech Caliper Discoloration at Track Temps

    Anyone here running the standard (painted) ST40 calipers on track and noticing discoloration? I'm about to pull the trigger on a new set in yellow and was advised by Stoptech to go with the trophy sport kit if the car is expected to see track use because of it's clear anodized resiliency to...

    ABS Overhaul

    Anybody in the Bay Area have any experience overhauling their ABS system? Unfortunately I don't have the time to do the job myself right now, and don't think I'm ready for the 2000+ upgrade/swap. Just looking for a shop that has experience with this particular overhaul.

    Bumper Re-Spray / 3M ClearBra Installer Recommendations

    Hey guys, I'll be moving to the Alameda area next month and would like to seek some recommendations on QUALITY shops to re-paint my bumper and install a ClearBra. The two can obviously be done at different places. My car has been pulling some track duty in New Orleans and the bumper has...

    Clutch Failure at the Track w/ pics

    So, I was at my local track last friday (Nola Motorsports Park) and experienced my first mechanical failure in the NSX. As I went to downshift into second, I noticed the car wouldn't shift into gear and the pedal did not rebound to it's neutral position. A few attempts proved the same results...

    Inside of '02 front wheel scored

    Not sure why, but all of a sudden one of my front wheels (02+) is making contact with my '91 calipers, despite a 5mm spacer. The other seems fine. Anybody else have this issue?

    Using 5mm spacers WITHOUT extended lugs?

    Hey guys, I know this has been discussed to some extent on various other threads, but I believe my question is a first. (I've tried searching) I currently have Volk TE-37's (17/18) on my 1991 NSX and love them, but I would like to use them for track use and therefore outfit them with...

    H&R Sport Springs

    Recently upgraded to the KW Variant 3 suspension setup and no longer need these. Used, but in perfectly good condition. I was impressed with the ride quality, despite the very low stance, with these springs mated to stock shocks. $125 I prefer local pickup here in SoCal, but will ship if...

    Japanese Spec Navpod Screen

    Anybody know what the Japanese version of the NSX had as stock for the Honda Navigation System inside of the Navpod. Nothing's better than what the pod was designed to work with... i think. Looking at doing a Navpod install that's as clean as possible. Would prefer to have a screen that goes...

    Difficult Decision Ahead

    Looking for a little advice: I'm moving to New Orleans this summer and not sure whether to bring the NSX with me. The roads in some areas are BAD, and with my current suspension, I just won't be able to drive without fear of tearing the bottom off. The current suspension on the car is stock...

    Pioneer AVIC-F500BT and Navpod

    Anybody know if the new Pioneer AVIC-F500BT portable GPS unit will fit inside of the Navpod? This is a pretty robust GPS option, and if it will fit in the Navpod, I will be putting in my order tomorrow. As far as height and width, it seems easily do-able, but depth-wise, it's 1 1/8". That may...
