    Wheels 18/19 Volk Racing TE37 w/tires (TRADE for 17/18)

    I am looking to trade someone wheels. I have 18/19 Volk Racing TE37 rims with Continental Sport Contact 2 tires in the front and Falken 452's in the rear. FYI, the rears are new with just a few around-town miles (hardly any at all). As they wear down, I'd replace the fronts with Falken for a...

    Suspension J R Z (RS) Coilover Suspension - new

    After one of the meets at Costa Mesa Acura, I had the pleasure to drive an NSX with JRZ's. This, thanks to Jon (Honda/Acura service manager). It was mind-boggling how sad of a drive home it was because my stock NSX felt like a mini-van in comparison. I'm not joking, either. Never did I think...

    NSXCA NSX Holiday Party - CalCoastalNSX - Sat, Jan 16th - Feeler Thread

    I'm sorry to see any contention between memebers and hope it stops. What I'm really interested in though, are the facts. I didn't know the SW region was the most active and was responsible for collecting the most dues. I had such a great time last year. My gf even said I have to make more...

    Smog Check in CA

    I got mine in Bellflower, right across the street from the DMV (directly across). I thought we were off to a bad start when the guy said "We've never smogged a Lambo before" :confused: In the end, they didn't touch it very much although the owner's son (who also works there) sat in it with...

    Official SoCal "Sighting" Thread - post all your NSX sightings here!

    Monday night (April 27th) going up the parking structure at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, I had a red NSX right behind me. It was a red NA1 and as we turned to go up to the next floor, I noticed it was lowered. It's all I can remember from a glimpse in my side-view mirror.

    6 lb strong battery..

    That's my problem. I leave the car garaged for a few weeks at a time and I've had it die twice already. It is not completely dead, but just a hair short of being able to turn the motor. Frankly, I haven't even looked to see what kind of battery it has since I've jumped it from the rear. I...

    Del-Taco VS. Taco Bell

    Going to have to go with Del Taco. Two reasons: 1. I miss the "Combo Cup". Nobody will remember this. It's an old-school item. 2. I had a freind who bit into a Taco Bell burrito and had a BAND-AID chillin out of his mouth and down his chin. Note: it wasn't his.

    Trying to Decide Between NSX and 370Z

    I"m with mickeylex. Drive the NSX. Drive the Nissan. By the way, I did a quick Google search for it and frankly, it didn't do it for me but perhaps you liked what 2009 can offer and the nostalgic lines? However, what I like doesn't matter in this case. What matters, is that YOU like it. I...

    What are the best door speakers to use?

    We're all enthusiasts.. and we all know a little bit about everything (except me I don't know squat about car audio). Does anyone here actually work in car audio??? If so, those are the people I'd like to hear about a (skip low end, you own an NSX!) mid-level system recommendation and a...

    DME Engine Torque Damper: 91-05 NSX

    Hi, Pretty interesting (all the controversy)... Well, I'm fairly new to the NSX community but I thought I'd share this with you. This engine torque dampner, does it serve the same purpose as the "dogbone" that the 2.8 V6 Fiero engines have (factory, mind you)? I'll admit it, I've owned...

    What are the + / - to using 18's all around vs. stagger?

    I guess nobody real cares about the accuracy of the odometer or speedometer. It would be nice to keep track of actual mileage (I'm not sure how sever the error is running 18/19; current set-up). All I know is that when it says I'm going 70, I'm NOT going 70 (passing too many cars)

    What are the + / - to using 18's all around vs. stagger?

    I personally like the staggered look. I *really* like that Orange NSX stance. How do those black Prodrives (on the orange NSX) compare to Volk TE37's??? I have an 18/19 set-up now and JRZ suspension sitting in the box. I'm hesitating installing them on the current size because I've been...

    Big Wheel (19/18) Slow-Down??

    That has become the next issue, ride and feel. In a previous post I said I took a ride to Palm Springs from OC and it sucked. Granted, most of my driving is around town and doesn't make much of a difference but it sure would be nice to know I can take a 1 or 2 hr drive somewhere without...

    Big Wheel (19/18) Slow-Down??

    Well said!! Oh well, I guess the scientific chatter I spun off was interesting anyway. Why didn't I just ask you? I should have known you would have a second, third, fourth set of everything!

    Big Wheel (19/18) Slow-Down??

    Great feedback, thanks! Now, that I've owned the car a bit longer, I've allowed my right foot to flex a little more and for the street, the bigger wheels are really not that bad (acceleration-wise) and they look great. However, this past weekend I went to Palms Springs (from Orange County)...

    Big Wheel (19/18) Slow-Down??

    No, I didn't know you build race bike but it is good to know; it makes me pay special attention to your comments. That's why I requested for comments from those with a good understanding of wheel dynamics. So, would you still choose a 19/18 set-up over 17" all-around or 17/6? Does the...

    Big Wheel (19/18) Slow-Down??

    While it is OK to disagree, no need to let it get out of hand fellas. It was worth a chuckle but let's squash it. Swerve, thanks for making your very good point about wheel diameter (tire + rim). Does anyone know what the wheel diameter for 2002 is (or all years for that matter)? Also...
