    Seven of the Hottest Collector Cars under 25k

    I am sure they said that based on the data when the first ones came out in 1991. The super soft Yokohama combined with the aggressive alignment settings from the factory had tires in the trash very quickly...like 5,000 miles quickly.

    HANS vs No Hans

    I will not get into a car as an instructor where I can not be provided the exact same or better safety equipment as the driver. I use the R3.

    How to change the NSX's engine sound

    I have had a lot of V8's in my day. The sweet sound they make is from the exhaust. I think the beauty of these cars is the actual sound from the engine/intake. If I really wanted to enhance my own experience, I would go with the induction side coupled with a nice cat-back. I would think...

    What's the best?

    It totally depends on what happend during the model runs. Early Trans Am's are worth way more than the last of the last. Typically technology, styling, power, etc grow and progress to a point where later versions can be worth more - but only if there is something significantly different or...

    What's the best?

    I think the values are still based on how 'new' they are not so much on how 'desirable' they are for the NSX. If I could piece my favorite 'model' together it would be a pop up headlight coupe with body colored roof, mid run 17/18" wheels and the 3.2 with the 5 speed. As far as values, the...

    How to change the NSX's engine sound

    If you want your car to sound like a race car, you need race car parts. Those cars rev like that because internally they are all exotic stuff. Couple 12K revs with no real muffling and you have that. It's not street car stuff.

    Post your most recent picture of your NSX...

    Fresh out of the 'drove it home from Ohio road-trip' detailing and headed into the garage for the rest of the winter. I love this car.

    kW warranty warning

    What is the written warranty on the shocks? It's a tough call either way here...making a warranty claim 14 months after purchase is probably out of policy. I agree on the pictures. Can't hurt in any dispute.

    Anyone Else Watch the Barrett Jackson Auctions?

    Yes. The seller pays BJ 8% on no-reserve auctions if memory serves. This auction is all no-reserve because of it's popularity. So on that $56K sale: BJ collects $5,600 from the buyer and $4,480 from the seller. The seller only netting out $51,520 minus costs to get it there and prep it for...

    Help identifying wheels

    I pulled this off a YouTube vid and I can't quite figure out what they are but they hit the nail on the head for me in terms of fit and looks. Thanks Prime!

    My Enkei RS05RR are here!

    When I do wheels I won't go so flush but this combo looks really hot. Nice job. So tough to find something that looks good on the front.

    Mental aspect of moving from 9/10ths to 10/10ths - what are the considerations?

    And another good realization is that Billy's (insert local hot-shoe) 10/10ths is simply not everyone's 10/10ths. The best way to get better is to combine seat time (practice) with data review or hot-shoe review. Discussions on a corner-by-corner basis, braking points, braking strength, car...

    Mental aspect of moving from 9/10ths to 10/10ths - what are the considerations?

    It's almost subconscious. Add in a ton of seat time and ZERO fear of losing what you are driving to a total loss, and you can have a 10/10ths lap. I have run years of Club Racing with the SCCA in the Northeast. I hold track records at Lime Rock and NHMS. I have run under the track records at...

    Beware of PSE Superchargers!!

    I am new to Prime but I don't think the thread should be removed. If you do, it's like it never happened to anyone who signs up after the fact. If it stays, we can read through it from problem to resolution and make a decision on our own if we want to send any business PSE's way. Thanks.

    Question on winning car shows.

    I come from the Corvette and British car show circuit. Best possible way to win a trophy? Talk with the judges and learn what they are looking for. This may even vary event to event. Who is hosting? Do they have criteria on-line or is it judge-to-judge specific? Ask, listen, learn, build.
