    To perforate or not to perforate?

    Hi NSX Prime, I'm in the process of restoring my 2000 NSX-T. I'm going to be redoing the leather interior. My door panels are in good condition just planning on replacing my seats. I just want a public opinion since in 2000 they change the interior to perforated which my wife thinks looks like...

    A little red... what do you guys think?

    I just bought these wheels in Hyper Black. The white decals did not come on the wheels and I was wondering where I could get some. How did Fast signs get the sizing correct? Did you have the original for them to copy?

    need mechanic in around New Bern N.C. to change out fuel pump

    Is he sure it's the fuel pump? Not very common for one to fail but other things will keep the pump from running.

    Car not starting (Main Relay? Fuel Pump Relay? Others)

    You can verify resistor is the problem by jumping the plug. I found mine partially melted and had to replace the connector also.

    Car not starting (Main Relay? Fuel Pump Relay? Others)

    I posted on this last week based on personal experience. I had an intermitent no start and tried all known problems main relay,fuel relay ect. The car finally broke down and I towed it back to my shop. I found the fuel pump resister was the problem. The resistor slows the pump down when less...

    Ever had this feeling....

    I bought mine last April. The owner drove 6 hours to meet me in Atlanta which is 4 hours for me to complete the sale. His wife would not get out of the truck at first. I knew something was wrong but did not understand. They had me take pictures of them with the car before I could leave and there...

    You know you own an NSX when...

    When your sitting at the bar and you hear the guy next to you talking about your car in the parking lot with his friends. Then whenever someone else came along he asked them if they saw his new car outside. I just listened.

    Primers! Which car would you choose?

    I agree... go with the lower mileage. That gives you 100k more enjoyment!

    Nsx cranks awhile before starting?

    I had this problem on my 2000. I also had an intermitent no start but could wait and it would start right up just like a main relay problem. I knew about main relay problems from past Acura's and also replaced to elimate the posibility of this being the cause along with swapping relay. The car...

    bent exhaust valve

    I was wondering the same thing. The engine obviously jumped time or was over reved. I had a customer do this on an RSX when he shifted from 5th to 2nd at a high speed.

    Has anyone heard of these brake rotors?

    I am looking for a fairly inexpensive drilled brake rotor for my 2000. I found a company called Chrome Brakes. Has anyone had any experience with their rotors? I have not found much online about them. They have rotors they make here in the states and also offer a better quality rotor from...

    AC R12 Freon Substitute

    It is easy to convert to 134A which is what I do at my shop whenever a car comes in requiring repairs to R12 system. I have not been able to find R12 for sometime and believe freeze 12 is not quit the same. The adapters are available to change the fittings at most auto parts stores. The 134 is...

    BC Racing Coilovers - Comprehensive Review

    I am also interested in these coilovers but I have a couple questions maybe someone can answer. I am going from a 18/19 wheel to 17/18 setup and want to lower the ride height a little. I do not track the car much and it is more of a daily driver although I drive it hard. I have the stock...

    Why do NSX's often not start smoothly?

    If it starts and dies you may have a problem with the fuel pump transister. I had one go bad and it started as intermitent hard starting and then finally died and would not start. It is mounted in the engine compartment on passenger side. The transister cuts fuel pump speed for noise reduction...
