Truth. It’s hard but worth the effort to have a Cali NSX. Source: dude with a stock(ish) 91 that waited a year for new oem cats to get here from Japan. Magnaflow advertises a “CARB Compliant” cat, but I was skeptical and didn’t want to have to deal with welding new cats in every few years...

Thanks again everyone for the sound advice. HQ took great care of me, and it’s conveniently close to B-Man’s!

Thanks for the guidance!

Hi everyone, I just relocated to SoCal from the Bay and am looking for a good NSX mechanic in the Pasadena area. Willing to drive up to 45 mins or so for the right shop. Currently I just need to install new cats so I can pass smog; also need some work on my s2. Thanks in advance and hope to...

How’d the smog go? I’m having trouble passing, high NOx about 100 pts over the limit. I took the car in piping hot to a local shop but the tech didn’t know the car so took a while to set it up and I failed. May have to make the trek out to Hayward, I’m in Redwood City. Foreign Affair is my...

Hi there. Saw your post about the oem cats—did you buy them? Any chance your car was at Foreign Affair recently? I saw a red one when I dropped mine off a few weeks ago and they said it was also in for smog issues. I’m having trouble passing smog, high NOx about 100pts over the limit. Trying...

Thanks Bram. Emailed you.

Hi Bram, are these still available and if so, how many miles on them? Can anyone tell me the length of the oem cats from flange to flange? Thanks

emac hmmm...I may need to order some dental denture resin for my cracked defrost panel.

Thanks for all the info everyone. The photo I posted was one I grabbed off an old prime post; my part is black with no lock. I despaired when I saw the price for the locking lever, but happily the part for my 91 was much cheaper and I just ordered it. I_M_Legend, thanks for the link, that...

natcc99, its a great experience, isn't it? I also love to see NSX posters in any location... Anyone know what a valve adjustment sets you back at Hill Top these days?

Thanks for the replies. I cant quite tell if the piece in the link is what I need. ^^^^^^^^^^^^This is the piece. It easily pops off and it looks like the female connection on the back of the lever is stripped. I can open the hatch by taking off the lever and turning the male portion of the...

This implicates trademark and copyright protection. When in doubt...do not commercialize.

The engine hatch release lever in my '91 is broken, and my mechanic says the part is NLA. Anyone out there have ideas on where to source a used or aftermarket part? Other options? Thanks Rob

Thanks everyone for the info. I took my car to Foreign Affair and am very happy with the service and work so far. I spotted a silver NA1 when I picked up my car today, assuming it belongs to a fellow NSXPrimer...

Thanks! I read through these threads after my first test drive of the car. I think I might try to DIY it someday

Couple of pics from the last few days. A bit low right now, I love the look but my front lip does not love my driveway...

So I was lucky enough to spend some quality time with both my NSX and S2000 this weekend...dream come true! I feel like the cars complement each other in such a lovely way: my S2 feels even more like a jekel-and-hide go-cart now, and after driving the S2 around, jumping into the NSX is just...

Update: Foreign Affair is able to adjust without the wrench...I ordered one for next time. Thanks prime!

My car is at Foreign Affair today to get some work done and they don't have a tool to adjust my KWv3...neither do I as I just purchased the car and it did not include the wrench. I can come pick up the wrench and return it later today. ps-I have a spanner wrench for the bilstein pss9 that are...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

natcc99-thanks very much, appointment booked! I will be swapping my NSX for a Prius for the day

My King: tis' a 91 on NA2 targa wheels. anesthesia--it's an unreal feeling. The start of a beautiful friendship. I've had my s2000 for 11 years and I'm still head over heels. ps- my name is Rob, used Winston as my handle since MrWolf was already taken ;)

Hi everyone, I just took delivery of my first NSX, a black NA1. I'm on the Peninsula, holler when you see me! Does anyone have recommendations in the Menlo Park area for (1) alignment and coil over adjustment (KWs) (2) trusted shop for doing electronics work (head unit/alarm stuff)? I've run...

Hi everyone. Long-time lurker, first time poster. After decades of hard work, countless hours of obsession, and constant nagging of my girlfriend-turned-wife, yesterday I took delivery of my black NA1. Thanks to Prime and all of you OG's who I have been reading for all these years for helping...
