I will be selling some of my extensive collection of Gen1 NSX memorabilia and hardware starting this year. I'm using the car but not the collectibles. At this point it seems wasteful to keep them, although I bet they are a good inflation hedge. I'm not in a rush to sell, but neither do I want...

For about the 20th time I spent a couple summer weekends driving back roads in California. I have refined my route and now make only slight variations from what I know to be the most scenic and enjoyable roads. This year I asked a few NSX club members if they were interested in driving with me...

A semi truck threw a big rock into the center of my windshield last weekend. It left a star about 1.5 inches in diameter, below my line of sight to the road but maybe in the line of sight for a short driver. I have read that OEM glass may no longer be available, and I'm uncertain whether the...

With my wife in Florida visiting her girlfriends of 30+ years' standing, I decided to treat myself to a one-day drive in the NSX. I got up at 4:30 AM to perfect spring weather and was on the road by 5:30. It was past dawn when I left the freeway near Healdsburg. Skagg Springs Road was...

On July 28 weekend the town of Fortuna (near Eureka) hosts a large show for all kinds of classic cars. See http://redwoodautoxpo.com On that weekend you will see some beautiful cars on the surrounding roads. We can be driving some of those cars! I have a route in mind based on a spectacular...

Hirofumi Tomiyoshi, who is president of the NSX Club of Japan and who hosted 60-odd foreigners at NSX Fiesta last October, will visit the Bay Area briefly on his way to NSXPO. He will be staying at my house. I am going to show him some of California's best NSX driving roads over most of 2 days...

My son got a ticket recently. He was not driving the NSX! Apparently the cop said he only pulled him over because the car matched the description of a homicide (!) suspect. However the ticket is for misdemeanor exhibition of speed, a nasty ticket. Any tire squealing was minor and incidental to...

No, it's not the NSX. It's my wife's SLK230 that the evil cat peed in somewhere. The smell is driving my wife crazy. Any ideas? I've already thought of: shotgun, cement block tied to the leash and thrown in a lake, and all that sort of approach. I'm looking for a solution involving carpet and...

Price reduction! Here's the southern California list to go with my earlier northern California list. Two garages, with plenty of tires in each one. These are all Yokohama A002H's, which are out of production and available only from my garage, assuming that nobody else stacks Yokos to the...

As some of you know, I have tires in my garage. Lots and lots of tires. They are all Yokohama A002H's, which are out of production and available only from my garage, assuming that nobody else stacks Yokos to the ceiling in his garage. I'm driving less these days, as explained in the...

If someone anywhere near Walnut Creek has a pair of slip-joint pliers with the slot cut in them I'd like to borrow it. My window thingie installation is a few millimeters short of complete. :redface: Edited to add: Never mind. I made myself a set. So now you can ask me.

80k miles, was completely perfect before the wreck. Virtually 100% stock. Located in Auburn, CA (near Sacramento). Will go to auction soon if no takers here by Friday or so. Probably suitable for race car conversion. Engine should be perfect, burned only 0.5 qt of Mobil 1 in 3k miles...

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=42292 It says $7.49 but they are $4.99 at the store (Lomita, CA) this week. That's a very hot deal.

I'll be in socal December 2 and I was wondering if that happened to be under consideration for a Christmas party. Will somebody in the know please PM me?

http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76502 has all the information. Contrary to that thread's title, this drive does NOT require getting up early. It will be quite civilized, all in all. This will be quite probably the best norcal drive since NSXPO 1999. Sign up now and let me...

I can run them for you this weekend when I have time. After that my subscription expires. Use PM please.

My 93 Legend is overheating despite or perhaps because because of the fact that I just had the heater hoses and coolant changed a week ago. Two weeks before that I drove it 8 hours straight at high speed with no problem. I suppose the failure could be a coincidence, but regardless: I need a...

I know Acura sells a shorter oil filter for the Legend, but supposedly the original filter for the Legend matched the NSX's filter. I have a box of NSX oil filters (15400-PL2-004) that will last me forever, so I wonder whether I can or should give a couple to my daughter for her...

Is anybody in the Las Vegas area available to check out an Acura Legend for me Wednesday (today) or Thursday? I can offer a SF Bay Area backroads tour in the NSX in exchange or other help with your next visit to the Bay Area.

I'm looking at a used car (Audi, not NSX) in Santa Monica, but it's 10 years old and needs a more thorough check-out than I can do. Can anybody here recommend a good shop for this?

Anybody out there have a car fax account? The one I'm looking at now is VIN = WAUAA88G6SA004596 Thanks! Keith NSXCA member #54

It's noon on Friday, July 7, 2006. I open the garage, step into my car, turn the key, and insert a pre-recorded audio cassette: "Good morning, Mr. Phelps. The car you are sitting in is a 1991 red Acura NSX sport coupe, featuring 270 horsepower, outstanding handling, and looks to match. It is...

I'll be heading south from the bay area Friday mid-day or so. Friday is a one-tank day, and Saturday will be a two-tanker to LA. I have fresh tires, new front brake pads (I found out Monday that they were down to 1 mm!), and everything else is in working order. I haven't been driving much of...

The front Yokos tend to wear severely on the inside, but if you have a lightly used set kicking around the garage, please let me know. OEM size for 91-93 cars.
