Hey Rob, how've you been? You've often mentioned that local traffic lawyer you use, can you please give me his contact info? A good friend got pretty stupid on the turnpike a couple of days ago. If anyone else has direct experience with a good traffic lawyer in Broward (FL) please let me...

Hi folks, as some of you may remember I was the proud owner of a 2000 Silver NSX until not too long ago. After having 405hp in a drivable street car I myself, a true NSX lover, would have a hard time buying a new NSX at 290hp. Mind you, this Z06 has no-excuses, face twisting power at any...

Sorry, this was just a pointless message. [This message has been edited by rquintero (edited 17 September 2001).]

Curious here - we are entering a new stage in our economy starting next week. How significant is the old adage of "buy american" when it comes to new vehicles? How significant when dealing with the Acura or BMW models from the US based factories? Are these domestic plants just assembling...

Amazing that folks can go on chatting about oil changes, troll speed claims and tranny's in the midst of this tragedy. This is not "just" another Oklahoma horror story, this is the start of a new chapter. Oh well. Not holier-than-thou or anything like that, probably just as tired and...

Maybe an old one, but first time I see and thought was funny: ------------------------- After pulling over a speeding driver, a police officer continues with the usual procedure, asking the driver for his license. “I don’t have one,” the driver answers, “I had it suspended when I got my 5th...

I've put 5k miles on my rear OEM Yokos and the two inside threads are completely gone, and I mean completely. The outer threads look reasonably good. No surprises here. I was going to attend one last track event (tomorrow) with them, given that there was no rain in the forecast. But then I...

Hi there, Anyone in FL with a Comptech SC? Given the market crapping out, I've managed to talk my wife into agreeing that we've lost about the price of an SC every day for the last several weeks... so might as well just let me buy something that will alleviate my pain. Would love to drive...

For any racing fans out there: Speedvision will be re-airing "Lap of the Gods" this Sunday at 12 noon. This is one of the coolest F1 racing programs ever made, with in-car cams & drivers discussing the track as they drive it. Tracks all over the world. Get your VCR or TiVo ready, or go to a...

Ok, so a couple of weeks back I discover a deep scratch in my pristine Silver '00. No idea how that happened (!@# car wash guy I let in at the office one time? maybe...) Saturday I discover two scratches/dents on the console, just below the center AC vents! How would that happen? What hard...

Ok, this is strange: I bought my car new from the dealer about 8 months ago. The only time I've had someone other than myself in the engine bay was the local dealer changing the oil, once. No other warranty work related to the engine. Today I noticed that all of the bolts for the engine...

Just installed a K&N filter in my Y2K. I'm 99.9% sure that the seal is seated properly and the installation is proper, but there is a "whistle" (not bad or loud, similar to what a spooling turbo would sound) in certain ranges during moderate acceleration. So the question is: is this a normal...

So my wife just leaked the surprise that for our anniversary (next week) she "got me some NSX parts and I'd be happy". I witheld any display of being alarmed and rather than asking "WHAT?!? or "How much?" I simply asked which vendor and mumbled in a low voice something about it not being a idea...

Jeez I'm p*ssed! Found a deep (primer showing) weird scratch just before the passenger rear wheel-well (top, so not a door ding). Looks like a cat scratch (about 4 lines going down about 1/2"), although this could not have been an animal (noun, not adjective). Wasn't there last week when I...

Definitely off topic, but I'd sure appreciate this board's input: While I am eager to increase my participation at track events, I am less and less excited about doing it with my NSX. Maybe I like it too much, maybe is the expense, maybe is safety, maybe the fact that no matter what the NSX is...

Just noticed a huge nail on my front OEM Yoko, nothing that I want to repair. I've got 3,700 miles on the car, so I'm wondering whether to: a) Replace just the damaged tire with a Yoko. My guess is that the other tire has about 60% tread left. b) Replace both front tires with Yokos. c) Replace...

Noticed yesterday that there is a significant amount of rust around the rotors and particularly in the area where the wheel attaches (excuse my ignorance of the technical term). Note that I am not referring to the light film of rust that develops on the rotor itself under moist conditions after...

Probably an ignorant question, but what is responsible for lowering the temp of the brake fluid? I wouldn't think the air funneling to cool rotors & pads plays a role, so what does? Or is this just not an issue at the track? Thanks for any insight.

Just back from spending 3 incredible days at Sebring going through the Skip Barber 3-day Racing School... just unreal. Top class operation, fantastic instructors and a perfectly progressive curriculum. More driving time that a human body (at least mine ) can stand on a daily basis...

Thinking of attending their 2-day course at Sebring sometime soon - in part due to doing a 360 on the track at yesterday's event. Anyone done this course? I thought there was a FAQ related to this but couldn't find it.

Just spent all morning trying to get a Tech Inspection for an upcoming NSX-CA event... went to the two closest Acura dealers, neither was familiar with what I was after. One told me they could fit me in in two weeks, the other was nice enough to confusedly walk to the bays and ask their only...

I am really having a dilemma here: need to solve my headroom issue so that I can fit a helmet. Too much of a wimp to experiment with the interior of my Y2K NSX. * If any of you have made the foam-reduction procedure on the OEM seats, how has it held up after some time? Does the seat still...

Ok, I feel really stupid now - I know its a detail but anyway: finally made the time to go put on the NSX-CA stickers on the car: Sticker 1: appeared to be an inner glass one (as it was reversed), although I was annoyed that it had a whiteish vs. clear backround. I decided to put it on anyway...

I had anticipated (and looked forward to) a flurry of postings, including pics, anecdotes, news, whatever of NSXPO after the 24th... for us underprivileged folks who could not attend. Not a one! So either: a) It never happened. b) It happened but it was entirely uneventful, not worth...

In my short experience with the NSX (6 speed), I find myself generally running at around 5k RPM during normal driving (this means "at the constant speed for the occasion", not "shifting up to"). Seems to be the range for what this car wants for responsive driving. I know it is ok to drive a...
