    OEM Suspension replacement

    One of the shocks on my 91 NSX needs replacing, figure I'll replace all 4 while I'm at it. Car has stock 15/16 wheels & tires.

We weren't sure what the problem was but given that it occurred on a road course we thought perhaps it was caused by oil starvation. We contacted SOS who explained that they would be happy to take a look at the...

    In watching the Barrett Jackson auction recently and seeing all the 50's, 60s and 70s american muscle cars get sold. I wondered what kind of cars will be popular in these auctions 20 or 30 years from now for people who grew up in the 70s and 80s. So predictions?

    Drain or syphon gas tank?

    This question is actually for my Integra R not NSX, but I presume the principles are the same. Car has sat in my garage for a few years with no use, has a virtually full tank but I'm afraid the gas is bad. How hard is it to drain or syphon most of the gas out? How should one go about doing this?
