So, I ordered/received the CAIG F100L and placed some drops in the volume potentiometer stack (see arrows in picture). Worked the volume knob CW/CCW a bit to ensure a good coat on the wiper. While I had everything apart, I did check about 50% of the capacitors on all boards in the Alpine Radio...

My audio started making "popping/crackles" when the volume knob was turned up/down. Usually, this would take care of itself after a few minutes and/or exercising the volume knob up/down. I've got some time on my hands, and knowing that the radio and amps are...
So I replaced the main relay yesterday. Took a few photos of '04 location (right where Larry said it would be). Examining the old relay, all of the solder joints appear to be just fine. Quite a bit of flux here and there, but no cold or collapsed joints and no evidence of lifting traces. At...
My son let me borrow his Autel DS708 Diag tool (very nice!). Hooked it up and still found no issues. All applicable NSX tests (including Throttle test) came back fine. But, that's to be expected since problem is not showing itself right now! I, too, thought that a main relay temp failure...
So I hooked-up the OBD reader when I got home (BTW - no issues when driving home) and it did not register any pending or active codes. I've ordered a new main relay, but this is a bit of a mystery. Recalling what happened when I had the problem, I realized that gas pedal inputs did not produce...
It's been quite a long time since my last post. My '04 NSX has been in garage for past 2 months, decided to drive it into work this morning. I've had it on a battery tender - no problems with starting and charging system was fine according to gauges during the trip this morning. My trip to work...
As you know, this is a very broad subject with many different approaches. Each person has there own list of do's and don'ts and chemical favorites are extremely varied.
One of the first things I did was checkout some of the more popular detailing sites on the web. You can also find some pretty...
I wondered the same thing prior to buying the car. However, I began to understand when I saw the route she had to take each day to work. Lots of stop/go stuff and holding on hills at stop lights, etc. Now, don't get me wrong, the replacements still tell me someone was riding a clutch, but ...
The original owner of mine replaced her first clutch at 13972 miles and her second clutch at 23480 miles. She had a short commute up/down the Palos Verde pennisula every day. As the second owner, I'm on that third clutch, car has just over 33K miles and all (knock on wood) is fine. But, I've had...
After attending the show on Saturday, I 100% agree with the in-person reactions to the looks as opposed to just seeing the pictures. I was reserving judgement on the looks until seeing it in person - I'm impressed with everything except the rims and any real, subtle outward link to the earlier...
Great photo spread Alex - congrats on the feature. I'll have to pick up a copy and have you autograph it at a C & O in the not-too-distant future! I came close to calling you and following you down to Florida a few weeks ago for the NSXcapades. OK, I would've been able to keep up for only a...
I want to preface this thread by saying that I rarely post on this forum. I'm one that tends to keep my mouth shut unless I have something intelligent to say or add. I do, however, read these forums with diligence on a daily or weekly basis. The information gleaned from these discussions has...
So, looking (quickly) at the link you provided, we're talking roughly $800-1200/month? Ay-carumba :eek: Is this the type of $$$ you're looking to outlay to provide Prime a new home? Who helps you defer that cost? Or - is my math way off base?
Can you divulge how much money per year it costs to host this forum on the cloud server? I've got absolutely no idea, but I'd like to know. I'm one of the many who have benefited from this site and I'd like to send a small monetary token of my appreciation. I guess any little bit will help defer...
You do have other choices.
About a year and a half ago I went with the XPEL clear bra. It was professionally installed to exacting specs and looks fantastic. The bra comes with a conditioner that you use on the film after every couple of washes. The only slightly negative comment I'll make...
Tim,
Long time no talk. Sorry to see you're selling your NSX ... I know how hard that decision had to be for you. No doubt it was heavily weighed-out. I completely understand the need to get your ducks in a row when considering retirment as some of us are heading into that "final turn" too...
OK guys, I can finally make one of these! After reading the above, I see it's Wednesday. Is there some sort of procession beforehand? Someone please update the details! BTW, my 21 year-old son and fellow NSX enthusiast will be with me.
Welcome to ownership and thanks for the story. I know what it's like to have to sell the wife on the idea before a major purchase. :wink:
As far as the TB/WP goes, you could always sell the idea that it'll be a lot cheaper to get it done by someone like Larry B than the dealerships. Plus, it's...
