It's not in Fairfield, but not all that far: Excelerate Performance in Branford, a "high end" performance car shop with a former Acura shop foreman as a tech and, I think, three NSX owners as customers (one maybe from Fairfield).

Just to follow up on this, we finally got around to returning the car to the stock ride height, retaining the Bilsteins, the NSX-R front bar, and the stock rear bar. I'm really happy with the result: the ride still is firm but pliant, and I don't think there's any loss in handling (maybe not...

My radio does work with the car running

I couldn't get mine to find stations with the search function (car running, I think), but could by going down the frequencies with the dial, motor off; I will be interested to see if the stations I selected still work with the car running - comments here indicate that they should.

With the help of a friend/mechanic, we have managed to identify and separate the connector to the power antenna. I must differ from comments made on this forum that doing this is "easy;" it isn't.

Would this disconnect suggestion apply to all NSXs, including my 2003? Somehow, I'm not seeing what you're describing. All I'd like to do is disconnect the thing during CD play.

I'll try to make it, at least for a little while.

Excellent story and photographs, although I am challenged to understand how anyone cannot perceive the NSX as beautiful, offering instead the cartoon styling of the Lamborghini Diablo as a paragon of automotive beauty. What?

Now there's a 1991 listed on BAT, currently at $15k with six days to go. Dealer listing.

The BAT car sold for $50k.

Are you still providing this excellent service?

Apparently some people use an inline resistor to bypass the cats - http://zero-signal.org/o2/O2bypass.html.htm I found another article by an Audi tech that described a different procedure.

I've never heard of requiring a donation in order to post messages on a car forum; since five messages is an absurdly low limit, and pardon me for saying so, but it strikes me as akin to a shakedown. If you want people to join NSX Prime as paying members, why not just charge a membership fee and...

Interesting idea

After one drive in the car with the R front bar and the stock rear bar, and the Bilsteins still on the lower perch points, the ride is notably improved, while still being firm; I think it handles just as well as it did with the Comptech bridge girders installed, so I'm very pleased with the...

Thanks - we've gone to an NSX-R front bar and the stock rear bar; haven't been able to drive the car as yet but I'm very interested to see what difference it makes. The Comptech bars, I can see with them off, are massive.

I'm sure you - and others - are correct in their appraisal of the quality of NSX hoses; really, they would have to be in an application like that, in - as you said - such a well-engineered car. My car has 51k miles on it, so I'm think if I do this now, it pretty much will keep the car happy for...

Thanks very much for the useful information. I do plan on following that plan; my coolant tank is somewhat yellowed - I have no clue how much coolant is in it without using a stick - so I've bought one of those beautiful aluminum tanks with a view tube, as well as an aluminum radiator. Hoses are...

Great - thanks very much.

The color is "BMW silver," is it not? Would anyone have a paint code for the color, or something more specific? I imagine there are several "BMW silvers."

Mine is 03NMBR6

To my considerable happiness, the insurance appraiser, after examining my car for the damage caused by an unmarked town excavation for a catch basin, decided to replace upper and lower control arms, the rim, the sway bar and, I think, an end link. The sway bar, I understand from the prior owner...

That's great - thanks so much; I looked at SoS and found only the silicone hoses, but didn't enter hoses in a search.

Which are the principal hoses to change as preventive maintenance - here's a link to a parts diagram on oemacura Thanks for the reference to that site, Robbie dawg - they show good pricing...

I apologize for starting a thread about such a trivial matter, but it's amazing what once learn on Prime: who would know the post can be moved. Not that I'd want to - the "Zanardi" mats are nothing like the quality of the regular ones.
