    Keep it or sell it?

    Thanks for everyone's responses. I am having a blast driving the f-car. Last weekend I got to drive the nsx, f-car and a Viper interchangeably and it made me realize how special the nsx is. At this point I am leaning towards supercharger and brembos. :)

    Keep it or sell it?

    Thanks for the replies. As I mentioned above, this is a great community. It is not about the cash, I feel kinda bad for the car. It was made to be driven. It is not about the space, my company has an underground garage :) When I bought the car, my colleague (previous owner) had not seen the...

    Keep it or sell it?

    The NSX is dialed on every level. I have never had a complaint. The f430 is a different level (not disrespecting a SC NSX) in which the feel and sound do not compare. The f430 is F1 transmision so it is actually easier to drive compared to a manual. The f430 has a 2 year warranty that covers...

    Keep it or sell it?

    You all have good points. My dad of 70 still talks about 2-3 cars he wished he had never sold. The NSX is the only car I have ever owned that went up in value. When I started writing up the ad I thought "man, this is a great car" :)

    Keep it or sell it?

    CDX_NSX - Agreed, hence my concern. It is not a money thing, just feel like it will be wasting away. I have always treated it like 'is was a car made for driving'. I have already asked some friends if they are interested, just so I could keep in touch with the car. :) Docjohn - I don't know...

    Keep it or sell it?

    I have owned an NSX since 1999. I have always loved the car and this community. I bought another two seater today and I am torn between selling it and keeping it. I have not put many miles on it the last couple years and I am thinking now it will be even less. Thoughts?

    Too much wheel info. My brain hurts

    Hello all. I am trying to figure out what general size of wheel will get my desired results and I think I am on information overload. I am in the market to replace my stock wheels/tires on my 91 NSX. Everything is stock, brakes, springs, etc. I am trying to achieve the look that I think many...

    1991 Red / Black NSX JH4NA1156MT000509 with 70XXX miles

    Hello all. Unfortunately, I think it is time to sell my NSX. It has been a great experience, I hope to be in an NSX again someday. Here is the story: I am the second owner and have been the owner for almost 4 years. I knew the first owner and like me he babied the car. Actually, the only...

    Scraping sound from front passenger brake

    Update: After having Acura look at the front wheels, the tech noticed a slight bend in the 'braking shield' and a small rock in there. After removing the rock and re-bending the braking sheild, no more noise. After reading about someone else having to replace the axle bearing for a similar...

    Scraping sound from front passenger brake

    Thanks for the replies. I checked the thinkness of my brake pads and they look about as thick as the backing plate. Maybe even slightly thicker. According to the FAQ, this would indicate the pads are ok. Unfortunately, the weather has been crappy in CO so I haven't been able to investigate...

    Scraping sound from front passenger brake

    Hello all. During a nice joy ride in the NSX I heard a loud scraping sound coming from what I believed to be the front passenger wheel area. It sounded like a caliper pinching on the rotor with no brake pad. Definitely metal on metal. After releasing the brake, the sound would continue...

    3.2 Radiator inplace of 3.0 ? Will this work?

    If my reply sounds stupid, it probably is: In your question, you mention a '3.2 radiator' and a '3.0 radiator'. If your only point was to indentify between the two engines they would be connected to, it sounds accurate. However, to my knowledge a 3.2 engine would not require a different...

    Taking NSX on a 15k mile trip...need suggestions.

    Here are a couple of my thoughts: 1) travel during the summer, it had snowed in many of the nothern states this year by mid september. 2) travel during the summer, the NSX is much better in hot weather than cold 3) travel during the summer, you might be able to catch early fall and see some...

    cost for new starter and labor?

    I would suggest taking the car (if it can be started) to a good electric shop. They could probably get a tester in there to determine if it is truley a starter problem. I actually removed my starter first. The grand total for rebuilding the starter was less than 50 bucks. Ryan

    Forcing it into gear

    Without a double-clutch, my NSX will not go into 1st anytime over 10mph. Usually a double-clutch to 4500 RPM does the trick. Your RPM's would need to be higher for a higher speed downshift. I have forced myself to start doing this. Now out of habit I am always 'phantom' shifting at...

    Pliers "tool" for window fixit thingies

    i tried installing the thingies without modifying a pair of pliers. it sucked. i pulled out the dremel half way through and cut up a pair of crappy channel locks. i was working alone. some one helping could be good and bad. if holding up the window helps 'loosen' the cable, go for it...

    new windshield price / questions?

    here is what happens (it has happened on both of my jeeps): you file a claim for a new windshield, in this case it ends up being over $500 (assuming they actually ok the oem). they then say, 'wow expensive windshield' and nothing happens. 5 months later i am back again due to another broken...

    new windshield price / questions?

    uh, if you have read any of this thread (or noticed the smiley) you might notice the usage of the 'hostile' word a few times. it WAS a joke. as for the 'conspiracy theory', i agree. i have decided to start my own insurance company ;)

    new windshield price / questions?

    ok, that works! :D is there something wrong with trying to get OEM for less? you seem 'hostile';) i just talked with the guy who has worked on a few nsx's. thanks for your help. it is terrible. i have 2 jeeps as well, 2 windshields per year on those! for those of you out there that...

    new windshield price / questions?

    safelite does use the OEM glass, claiming this was the only option. many of the searches have folks claiming safelite installed the OEM glass for less than $500. maybe these same people are on crack elite says they use LOF (libbey owens ford?) glass. they want 196.76 for the total! still...

    new windshield price / questions?

    yeah, i just verified my policy. they have a policy that would include glass, but it was expensive. on a good note, my policy went down $220 per year due to the recent changs in colorado insurance law:D ryan

    new windshield price / questions?

    i have read the searches. before and now again. i have called 5 different glass installers in denver, to which they all claim they get the part from the dealer. the dealer wants $717.40 for the part. i don't see how these people are getting safelite and others to install oem glass for less...
