I've had great experience with Shad also and would (&have) driven from San Francisco for his services.

I'll add my 2 cents. I purchased my NSX from consignment in Redwood City and they had no problem with me driving it to Don at hilltop for PPI. I felt like Don did a good job on the PPI and gave me a very thorough report. Jim Russell was also fantastic and local, but is retired. I had Jim...

I'm on a mission bumping old threads today... although I seem to have a perfectly functioning window regulator (knock wood) the switch cap on my driver's side window is also MIA. The prices for the whole new switch these days are comical. Assuming that the vent panel is still snug enough to...

Hi, To add to the other "center cap" threads ... I've done a bit of searching and am curious does anyone know where to get center caps for stock '94 wheels? My front center caps dropped right out of my wheels as soon as I pulled into the bay at the end of a track day. Lesson learned - take...

Non compliance bushings and toelinks Bumping an ancient thread ... I've got about 7 HPDEs under my belt, driving very carefully and slowly, and only spun once so far: in the rain at turn 2 of Infineon/Sonoma raceway I lifted ever so slightly catching slower traffic and it went around 360 and...

Very much so! I was just there a couple of days ago, for the first time, and he's awesome. New address in Sacramento: http://www.drivingambition.us/SearchResults.asp?Cat=37

1. Do it!! 2. If you're in the SF Bay Area, I'd second the recommendation on Hooked on Driving. They're a good club, relatively affordable, you get an instructor, and you'll be able to drive Sonoma, Laguna Seca, Thunderhill and others. Also a friendly community of other drivers there to...

Yep! I think I would have been stuck in crawling traffic right about then at that time. I was trying to leave early to get up to Thunderhill to drive the 5-Mile the following day...

I was making essentially the same decision a year back and opted for the NSX - in the full knowledge I would be cautiously running 7/10s or less in beginner and intermediate groups only, tracking it only about 5-6 times a year, and not modifying the car in any way. I've come to terms with...

Agreed - and getting advice from Prime is great in helping me learn what's appropriate and needed for my situation, no knock against Dan, who is fantastic. It seems like people lean one way or the other based on personal experiences and preferences, and there's not a lot of data for me to go...

Hm, do you think any of these will pose a problem for track driving? Or should I just let it be until the next change?

I saw a green NSX for the first time ever today ... at Costco. That's bravery! :)

Just an oil change, filter, general inspection, and I'll be going back later for pads. A few interesting things I learned - he recommends regular over synthetic oil (b/c synthetic offers no benefit in this engine), recommends overfilling by a half quart (to account for oil burning off), and...

Seems like the sensible thing to do would be to replace all 4 at once - I actually already bought a set of front and rear, but thought I could save some $$$ (i.e. cheap out) by letting the stock rears wear down first. However, on reflection maybe brakes aren't the right place to be saving a few...

I ended up going with TLS in San Jose. Definitely worth the drive, Dan has a great shop and great customer service, let me in the shop and explained everything he was doing. Can't really get that at any dealer.

Hate to take the thread on a slightly different tangent, but being as my question is HP+ and uneven wear related, it seemed better than creating a new one. :) I've got the more normal pad wear pattern, in that the fronts are down to less than 20% and the rears are still a bit over 50%. These...

I'm located in SF itself ... normally I would go to Jim at Cologne, who is just an incredible tech and all round great guy - but it seems he's ill and out for an extended period of time. Hilltop is closer and they actually did my last oil change as well as my original PPI. I pinged them to see...

Hello Primers, I've been shopping around for some basic service for my '94 - oil changes and the like (hey... I'm an apartment dweller and not all that confident wrenching on my own car). I was thinking of taking it to an actual Acura dealer, and while I'm at it, also having them check out my...

Ha Ha ... as a newbie who's owned an NSX for less than a year and literally knows nothing, I thought long and hard what to call the "New" NSX in my posting ... but decided to go with what the actual NSXPrime forum is called. I think from now on I'll just call it the Hybrid or the New One...

I heard that a '91 and the second generation NSX will be featured at Goodwood in the hillclimb this year. Anyone know if that's true and when? I'm glued to the live video feed ... link: http://jalopnik.com/watch-the-goodwood-festival-of-speed-live-right-here-1596904382

Not sure if it was me -- I would have been coming home from Laguna Seca in my bone stock red '94 with the number 36 plastered on the side at around that time ...

I was a bit shocked when a random kid, who must have been about 14 or 15, pointed at the car and shouted "Acura NSX!" when I was pulling into a parking spot recently. Not so much funny as impressive - clearly everyone who's saying today's kids don't care about cars (and only care about iThings)...

Seconded - Jim rocks - he's always been super friendly and helpful, and clearly knows the car extremely well. Lucky to have him nearby!

I splurged at Hertz while on holiday over the Memorial Day weekend, and spent a few days with a brand new Cayman - not the S, but the base model which has comparable HP to the NSX. As soon as I got back, I hopped back in my '94 NSX and hit my favorite driving road while the memory was still...

I see a red NA1 pretty frequently around UCSF - I'm guessing someone uses it as their daily going to work ... quite brave!
