    Front License Plate

    I just don't get it, There's no good reason to give in and mount a front plate on an NSX. There may be a few focal pockets of annoying enforcement scattered around the country but for the vast majority of us, our police don't really care, as someone above has accurately explained. They will find...

    V1 Install - Where to get power?

    I know you asked about the power source and that's been answered and this is a little off topic, but.... Since you're OK with mounting above the mirror, here's a suggestion. I've used this in my 93 NSX and now in the Zanardi. It's very stealth and looks very OEM. I removed the center sun visor...

    Whats the funniest thing anyone's said about your car?

    Two great ones: 1) Parked at OC Ferrari picking up parts a middle aged couple ran up to the NSX and excitedly asked, "Which model is that?" 2) Parked I don't remember where..."How much did you have to pay to do the conversion??" Huh?? "How much did it cost you to move the engine to the back"

    Storage of spare in front bracket question

    I haven't looked at my spare for some time and I took it out tonight. According to the manual it had been mounted in the correct position, with the painted side pointing to the rear of the car, but the mounting bracket has really rubbed of a lot of the paint off the wheel. It's no big deal but...

    So you think you want a 355 Ferrari

    I've had my 2004 since new and now have 25k miles on it. It is my daily driver. Obviously there are some places I won't take it but even Home Depot and CostCo have a few cherry parking spots. And like the NSX, I can get two golf bags in the car without problem. I've had the oil changed every 5k...

    zanardi nsx roll call

    Here's my earlier post regarding #00 at the OC auto show. I think pictures of this car would make you a little sad....... "I too saw the Zanardi sitting in the corner unattended, all alone. And as you say it was totally unlocked. It is indeed an authentic Zanardi, and the "00" number on the...

    NSX(s) at the OC Auto Show!

    Just looked at the FAQ's and the VIN number on the car at the auto show was #127 so that is definitely the press car....

    NSX(s) at the OC Auto Show!

    I too saw the Zanardi sitting in the corner unattended, all alone. And as you say it was totally unlocked. It is indeed an authentic Zanardi, and the "00" number on the plaque may indicate it was a press car. It is lo mileage but the paint is in very sad condition. Terribly scratched up. Also...

    LA Auto Show NSX report

    Just got back from the LA Auto Show. The Mercedes McClaren looked really hot. Ferrari 430, Lambo Galardo and Murcie, all three stunning. Vette Z06, best bang for the buck, no doubt. Ford GT doesn't look that great in person, IMO. Acura NSX......I walked up to the desk at the Acura display...

    Me vs 430

    Your right, that's the understatement of the decade. Not only crazy for street racing but crazy for taking on a 430. I would think this would be an easy ticket to bet, since it's not even a race.....

    Short Gears + 4.55 or 4.23??

    I had short gears and the 4.23 in my 93 and now have the 6 spd with the Comptech 4.55 in the 99. Both set-ups are great and neither suffered from any whine, other than normal gear noises. At highway speeds with the windows up it sounds like a regular Honda to me...

    Any F360 owner here?

    Don't know if my private message went thru. I've had two NSX's, a 93 and now a Zanardi, and like you, I do not intend to sell the Zanardi. I've had a new 04 360M coupe for three months and now have 3K miles on it. Give me a call if you want feedback. 714-273-3898.

    How much top speed & gas mileage did I lose with a 4.55?

    You will not lose any top speed since the NSX will not red-line in high gear due to air resistance. You will just reach the same top speed at a slightly higher RPM with the 4.55 R&P vs OEM. The difference is gas mileage, IMHO, is not worth thinking about, even at today's gas prices. Might make...

    Pictures of your Valentine 1 radar Setup

    Here's what I did to mount a V1 on the rear firewall.... I made a mount very similar to the Dali mount, only much smaller so there's not that huge platform showing. It doesn't need to be anywhere near that size. You can get .064" aluminum at the hobby shop. I mounted the V1 *backwards* so the...

    Sweetest place to hear, "What model Ferrari is that?"

    I stopped off at my local Ferrari dealer today after work to pick up a few parts. I parked the Zanardi, clean and shiny as usual, off to the the side of the showroom in a safe spot. Leaving, it took me a few moments to get into my car. As I looked up I see a middle-aged couple walking smartly...

    Help with smogging a car in San Diego area

    A friend of mine who's not on the list has a 93 relatively low mileage car in San Diego that has failed smog a couple of times. Only mods are RM headers & exhaust. He replaced the cats, that helped but still didn't pass. He knows all about making sure it's *hot*, etc. Anyone in that area have...
