+1 for Don Lam at Hilltop. If Jim at Cologne in the South Bay is out for a while, Don is the first and only call you should make. - - - Updated - - - +1 overfill is not smart, synthetic oil absolutely protects the engine better

My SC'ed 98 has 64K clutch still fine. If you are in the SF Bay Area and are shopping for NSX's be sure to go to Don Lam at Hilltop Auto in Daly City for a PPI on any car you are considering. He is the NSX man in SF for NSX repairs and upgrades. Extremely experienced, honest, no nonsense...

+1 Stock B7 S4 is slow, and you need to rev it hard to get it to move. I own an RS4 - now THAT car is quicker and faster than my NA NSX. But its a totally different driving experience.

makes sense - thanks

I am picking up a set of nice 18/19 Advans from a fellow primer and plan to run 215/35/18 fronts and 265/30/19 rears. The tire choices I see are: Falken FK453 Yoko S Drive Sumitomo HTR ZIII Conti Extreme Contact DWS (All Season) Dunlop Direzza DZ101 This would be mostly for road driving...

Thanks to all for your replies. At least I know mine is working properly now. Given the super high grab point, I am thinking it might be good to get a clutch pedal limiter so there isn't so much wasted motion at the bottom of the stroke. Did that with my old stick shift M3 and it improved the...

I have my 92 NA1 5 speed, with only 21K miles on it, with original clutch. Totally stock powertrain. The clutch doesn't slip or chatter but the engagement point is VERY high in the stroke -- it catches almost all the way at the end (the very top) of the pedal travel. And the engagement window...

Friggin AWESOME

Thanks for the leads to the friendly smog shops in Marin... much appreciated...

I am the OP. Thanks to all for the replies. I am well aware that TODAY a properly running stock NSX passes smog in CA without any trouble. Mine does. My question is about the future... Does anyone know how much, year to year, the allowable CA emissions limits for exhaust pollutants (HC...

I have read some posts here about the ever-tightening smog test limits that California continues to impose on all cars... qualitatively, we know it has been happening and will likely continue to happen into the future. It is good for our air and our environment, no doubt. But as an NSX owner...

Yes - it has been posted on the SF Bay Area CL for numerous months. Well overpriced...and still overpriced at his current price. Add in the crazy factor... definitely not one to jump into...

Oh OK, I stand corrected... but ewwww nonetheless

+1 Totally agree

I would PM S4Play -- he is very knowledgeable on this topic, having installed numerous of these.

Ewwwww..and its not even an NSX behind her!!!

Performance minded NSX owners will want 17/18 combos... 18/19's add unneeded weight and harsh ride. Many of us will not sacrifice these just for looks (which is admittedly very nice).

Lmfao

correct...

I know there is alot about Mark at Dali here on this board, but since I got my NSX several months ago he has been totally reliable and helpful. He has treated me very well. That having been said, he has had some internet troubles last week, which I think will be rectified shortly.

Excellent choice. I have a C2S 997 I have driven it for commuting and it is very comfortable. The PDK is an excellent highway cruising transmission, finds top gear quickly and cruises at low rpm. But you need to hit the sport button to make it shift with any performance feel. Changes...

Curb weight will be MUCH higher in USA version. More like 2600 lbs. And as you would expect, in this car you can bring one passenger and a toothbrush for each of you, no more. What makes the NSX's and Cayman's so useful is you can actually carry what you need for a trip (or a golf outing)...

How do you open the cluster up to put these in? Must be quite an operation to do...

Don Lam will do a good job and will call out all mechanical/electrical issues. You will need to decide on the cosmetic rehab issues... of which there is a good amount to do. Dawydiak is a reputable shop, with good mechanics. They consign only very high end cars. They would not have taken in...
