    Why is it so easy to get finderprints on a brand new car?

    sorry I should clarify. Notice how new cars in the showrooms and at car shows show smudges from fingerprints so easily. Compare this to a car that has just been waxed and it still does not show smudge so easily. Why is this?

    Why is it so easy to get finderprints on a brand new car?

    I've always noticed that they are more easily smudged w/ fingerprints then say a car that was just polished and waxed. Is it because they use a finish spray or is it just because the finish is brand new? I've never used a finish spray. :redface:

    Auto seems to be pulling hard when stopped in gear.

    When I first got my 92 in 96, it had the same problem. I took it in and they replaced the themostat if I remember correctly - it's been a while. It has been fine ever since. I too was worried about slamming into a fender or wearing out brake pads often. Should be at 750 RPM...:cool:

    Repaint the front end

    I took my 92 to two reputable shops and they both quoted me $1000 for upper and lower front end. This was for removal, repaint and reattach. :eek: I couldn't get myself to pull the trigger and just got the WW spoiler painted...

    Phishing Fraud on eBay with an NSX - Be careful!

    A wrinkle on this scam. I received a "service@paypal" e-mail (very authentic looking paypal page) saying my payment of $350 to a bogus paypal account was being made for the purchase of a Ipod. Of course the next link is a login page but I found it suspicious when the e-mail address at the top...

    grinding sound in reverse w/brakes

    Hey Guys! Got a weird one. When I'm in reverse at low speeds (ie jockying around the parking lot or driveway) I hear a "grinding" sound when applying brakes when I have my wheel turned (never straight - not necessarily all the way over). If I don't move my steering wheel and just shift...

    Wings West Front Lip/Body Kit Group Buy

    tyres size suggestion !!!

    255.35.18 in the rear is fine. I just got that size put on my 18x10's in the rear and it looks great. I will probably get the 265's when they wear out though, as 265's will look even better (but still not too brawny) :D .

    A/C not cold

    Yes the smell is musty - even more so then ever before. Can you access this from under the hood or do you need to access the coil from the inside? Thanks for all you help folks! Greg :D

    A/C not cold

    FYI - after a trip to Lynnwood acura ($219), turms out it was not low freon (you'd see bubbles), but NO freon. Refill and pressure check for 3 hours yielded no signs of leaks. If it doesn't leak, where did it go?:confused: :confused: :confused:

    A/C not cold

    Hi Guys. My a/c stopped blowing cold air. Based on the FAQ's and searches, here's what I have found: 1. Based on the inspection while running the A/c system and engine on - the Glass window on that cylinder in front of the radiator is clear (so freon appears full) 2. There is no...
