    Anyone tried Volk Rays G25 on the NSX?

    Ok. Not looking for a super aggressive fitament since I want a decent amount of rubber. Would like to be able to track the car occasionally. And I've never loved the look of hella-flush stances out cars where the wheel almost sticks beyond the qtr panels. Which a lot of the 19x10 +20 wheels seem...

    Anyone tried Volk Rays G25 on the NSX?

    I've been looking at the G25 wheels from Rays in 18x7.5 +43 or +48 front and 19x9.5 +35 rear I know they're not ideal fitament compared to some wheels but I'm wondering if there will be any major downfalls or setbacks with those sizes? Car is lowered but not slammed, occasional Weekend...

    Wondering if anyone's used Dan's Auto shop in Torrance? Not sure if they're really a tuner or more just mechanic. Looking for someone that is pretty capable and has experience with the motor...

    Good tuner / mechanic in West Los Angeles - Los Angeles - South Bay?

    Hey guys, I just recently purchased a 91' NSX and would like to find a good mechanic near me for maintenance and tuning later down the line if needed. I'm located in West Los Angeles and have a pretty busy schedule so it makes it tough to take long trips for maintenance especially during the...

    Thoughts on a JDM 1990 Honda NSX

    I've looked at it as well.. Might move forward with it. The markup on the NSX is so high in the US it's laughable.

    Acura NSX-R vs BMW M6 vs Porsche 997 Turbo vs Lamborghini Gallardo

    NSX and NSXR are awesome cars, dont get me wrong, but I cant help but feel these videos are a bit biased. the only car the NSXR has ever "lost to" that i've seen is a spirit R RX7. I just find it a little fishy...not to mention the best drivers are always driving the japanese cars =P

    Engine swaps

    if your just looking for more displacement, I would save money and go with a C30A, and get it stroked to 3.3 or 3.5L. By the time you purchase a 3.2 + transmission+price of install, your going to spend about the same. and if you stroke it, you can replace all the gaskets, seals, etc, and have...

    2005 Corvettes...how are they in comparison?

    i'd say, go test drive a few vettes, since you havent yet. then read up about the various problems vettes have, get familiar with it. that will probably help more than anything to make your decisions. NSX guys are going to say go with NSX, vette guys will say go with a vette. in the end its...

    NSX on autotrader in Utah- any info?

    just incase anyone was wondering: Car has been in an accident, but seller said he had no clue what kind. I guess it was in an accident and fixed and given a clean title, and this guy is the 3rd owner. He said the usual "runs perfect, frame strait" etc etc.. but those are the facts i got from...

    Has anyone painted NSX-R on the side skirt

    stickers/vinyl/airbushing/fire/stripes do not add racing touches ;) keep it clean bro. I'm assuming thats your car in your avatar, it looks great, dont ruin it with something "ricey" like a NSX-R logo. thats like the kids that put type R stickers on their integras, and GTR stickers on...

    Which clutch should I get?

    ORC is a great clutch if you can afford it. but i thinkt hey might come in clutch flywheel packages. hmm, exeddy has a good reputation as being streetable but grabbing a little harder. just some options for you to research.

    ruminations on california smog

    I'd try just calling some shops in the yellow pages or going in and talking to some smog techs first hand. that would probably be the quickest way to find out if theres anything you can do. afterall someone said he got his wifes E36 cats rebuilt in CA... or just use a relatives address out...

    What can I expect for $25K?

    well, if you find a great deal for 25K, good for you. But that may take quite some time to come across. I'd save up an extra 5K, and just keep your eyes peeled while doing so. expect to spend 30K for a well cared , mid-mileage NSX (60-90K miles maybe?). and if you happen to find a good...

    NSX-R Conversion Options

    get a hard top. save all the parts you strip off, and when/if you decide to sell, put them back on. unless you know exactly what is wrong with the salvage car id steer clear. BTW not to thread jack but, i know body shops can verify if a frame is strait on a car, is it very accurate...

    The OS Giken LSD/diff

    dont remember if OS giken requires synthetic or dino tranny oil, but make sure you are using hte right one. Using sythetic on a diff designed for dino oil will cause clutch plates to become too lubricated and slip.

    ruminations on california smog

    its probably just because CA has rigorous smog standards and the shop doesnt want to bother rebuilding them to CA spec. i'm sure local shops will have it done. or go talk to acura. getting an NSX and then realizing parts are expensive is like jumping in the deepend and trying to swim for the...

    Is it worth buying a 1991 NSX automatic with 183K miles for $18000 ???

    just remember with mileage on the engine comes mileage on the chassis, and that means other things are going to be worn down too. multilink suspension, transmission, bearings, etc. check compression, test drive the car, if everything seems in order and you really dont mind having high mileage...
