    GPS can't acquire satellites anymore

    I have the Kenwood KNA-G510 (Garmin) navigation system along with my Kenwood DDX-6019 unit. For some reason, it doesn't acquire satellites anymore. I've never touched the unit itself (unplugged the antenna etc) so any idea why this would be the case? Do I need to get some sort of software...

    My 1/8 Senna McLaren MP4/4 model

    Hey Guys, This is my 1/8 Senna McLaren MP4/4 model I just completed. The model is made by Kyosho and sold through DeAgostini (you may have seen tv commercials for it during the F1 race telecasts). The model is a subscription, which means you get parts for the model over a period of 20 months...

    Steering wheel not aligned after installation

    After getting my steering wheel back from being wrapped, I installed it back per the service manual. I centered the cable reel "Do this by first rotating the cable reel clockwise until it stops, then rotate it counterclockwise (approximately two turns) until the yellow gear tooth lines up with...

    Good tire life with my Potenza RE050As

    So my first 8 years of ownership I always used the RE010s with my OEM wheels. I usually averaged a little over 9k on the rears. When I went to 17/18 with my BBS LMs six years ago, I went with the Potenzas RE050A. I now have over 14k on the rears and I think I can put a few thousand more on...

    My Audi ownership has been horrible

    So in August 2009, my wife needed a car so we bought a '06 CPO Audi A3 2.0 turbo DSG with 38k miles. Personally, I did not want any Audi but she really wanted it. Prior to purchase, I combed the Audi A3 forums and did not see glaring owner issues. I lowered and debadged it, tinted the...

    Another jack stand question

    I know this a noob question but I'll ask anyway. The recommended method to put the NSX on 4 jacks is to do one side at a time. It just seems to me that it seems unsafe (unstable?) once you try to jack up the second side when it is on such an angle. On other cars, most people do front then...

    Titanium dress up bolts for the NSX

    Ok, this is perfect for you guys that are completely running out of mods for your NSX :tongue:. I noticed Detlef replaced some of his bolts with red ones on his Procar pictures. I stumbled upon this website which has a NSX dress up kit. Out of curiosity, I e-mailed this company last week to...

    What's the longest you had to wait for a backordered part?

    I ordered a few parts last week and one of them is backordered with no ETA date from Honda. I'm just wondering what is the longest you had to wait for a back ordered part? Could it be 3-4 months? Longer?

    Where to buy Nikon SLR?

    I don't shop for cameras often so I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations. I may buy a Nikon D5000 kit. It seems that FleeBay, er I mean eBay is cheap but most are NY grey market deals. The prices on Amazon look decent. Can anyone recommend any other top online retailers for good...

    NSX-R conversion on Yahoo JP

    Rear Diffuser Options for Pre '02?

    I really like the rear diffuser that Alverman made. Can someone like Downforce make something like this? I think it would be a hit. I've considered Blodi's diffuser but I want one that has bigger fins that are more 90 degrees. Perhaps another design idea is one that Dali use to sell years...

    Terminated for being a bandwidth hog

    Yesterday, Comcast terminated my internet service. I was verbally warned in January about my bandwidth and they decided to shut me down without any further notice. This has become common: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2111373,00.asp...

    Alignment after installing Bilsteins?

    I recently went to 17/18 rims and will be installing Bilsteins on the lower perch. Do I need to do a F/R alignment? Background: I've had the front aligned 5k miles ago and the rear 22k miles ago.

    Any opinions on water-powered sump pumps?

    I currently have a sump pump and a battery-powered back-up. I get a lot of water in my sump pit when it rains/snows because my house is on the 'low' end so the amount of water I get is expected. I'm currently thinking about replacing my battery back-up pump with a water-powered backup, such as...
