I just got on. Thanks

I'm back in the Acura fold having just purchased a new MDX and negotiating on a RSX - Type S. Wanted to investigate aftermarket products available for the RSX and could not enter the Dali Racing site. Does anyone know the status of MJ and Dali Racing? Thanks

gheba, Assuming that your information is correct, which is doubtful, I still think a 50th anniversity, Torch Red/Black Z06 with 405 HP and 400 lb ft of torque will hold it value against the new C6. I purchased my 2003 Z06 at 22% less than original sticker which gives me some price insulation...

I sold it and bought a 2003 Z06 and pocketed the difference (about $20,000). Took the difference and invested in GAS and am earning a dividend of about 5.5%. My insurance cost on the Z06 is about $350.00 less per year. So I am saving money and smiling every time I drive the Z06 without the...

I think alot of us forget the fact that a very, very small percentage of performance car drivers go to the track. The performace test center for the vast majority of performace car drivers is the street, like it or not and on the street it is straight line acceleration that is king. And we all...

I also work in a bank and our operations areas have attended numerous FBI seminars on this very thing. It is definitely a scam and even if the money order is not counterfeit the purchaser can call the bank and stop payment for any number of reason - the dog ate it, I left it in my pocket and...

In 2001 I thought the only models imported were the NSX-T's. If this is true your weight started at 3164 not 3069. I had a 2000 and was very interested in weight reduction. I would suggest that the Volk TE-37's in stock sizes of 16 and 17 would give you some nice reductions in weight. And...

Actually a full tank of gasoline (18.6 gallons) weighs between 108 lbs and 121 lbs depending on the type of gasoline used.

If you look at my first post my Z06 comments were directed toward the 03 Z06. In 03 the only Z06 produced was the 405hp version. The only year of the 385 hp was 01. So, I did not "suddenly" qualify my statements. I just was more precise in one of my posts. Indeed the Viper will better the...

We can all throw out whatever figures support our case as I stated previously. The numbers I stated were from the last time CD tested the NSX and it happened to be in 1999. As far as the Viper and Z06 be careful what you compare. The new Viper is certainly quicker than the 405 Z06 but the...

Not in that market so can't answer your question. Might check on Z06Vette.com. Have read about Z06 owners getting absolutely "toasted" by Supra TT's with BPU's above 100 mph. But there is no doubt that a 405 HP Z06 is far superior to any NSX in pure acceleration. As far as other traits...

I said a "modded" Z06. If either one of you took the time to go to the Performance Data Center of Z06 Vette.com you would see that many bone stock Z06's run in the low to mid 12's. I don't care what country the cars are located in, mathematics is a universal language and a language that says...

I don't know about the 0-60 times but the 1/4 times for the NSX-R are 12.8 and the Z-06 12.4 per Chevrolet. I would not put my money on an NSX-R over a Z-06 in any of the common measurements of performance such as 0-60, 1/4 mile, top speed etc. And don't get me wrong, I love the NSX for alot...

I just sold my 00 NSX and purchased a 03 Z06. Trust me, don't try that with a 03 Z06. The car is an animal. Alot different than the NSX better in some ways worse in others. Can't say I like one better than the other. For the price the Z06 is absolutely an outstanding value. Looking forward...

Why not just purchase a Z06 and have the best of all worlds - handling, braking, performance and price. It consistently beats the NSX in all of the former cateogries by a WIDE margin. Albeit it does fall short in some of the subjective categories - snob appeal, rarity, exotic, etc. Although...

Just added a room to my home and have installed a new stereo system. Researched many months and have traded initial purchases a few times and have finally settled on the following: Speakers - KEF Power amplifier - Musical Fidelity Pre Amplifier - Musical Fidelity CD - Krell DVD - Denon Rack -...

I would discourage the Odyssey 680 battery unless you live in a warm climate (above 60 annually) and you dirve the car often (at least a few times a week). I live in Illinois and removed the battery in all but the summer season but only drive my car weekends, at the most, and the battery would...

I am planning a trip and have the Cantrell Concepts Air Intake on my car with the Comptech Uni filter and stock air box. The Cantrell warns against driving in rainy conditions, other than very light rain, due to the unrestricted nature of the tube design. My questions is this - if I completely...

I have a 97+. But weight is critical. So I await your response. Other alternatives are also welcome. I presently run Volk TE37's in the sotck 16/17 size with Yokohama A022HO's in 215 and 245.

You ignored the wieght question and it is very improtant to me or I would not have asked it. Give the wieght and we may have a deal.

Chris, Are these the 17x7 and 17x9? What do the wheels weigh and the wheels and tires in combo weight? What kind of tires are on the wheels and what size. Any pictures? Thank you.

I changed to the Volk TE37 in stock 16/17 fitment for exactly the same reason that you are changing. The Volk in 16 x 7 weighs 11 lbs and in the 17 x 8.5 weighs 15 lbs compared to stock at 16.75 and 20.85, a significant weight reduction. You will have a very difficult time finding lower weight...

Dtrigg, Your question, I believe, is what wax are you using. I am using Zaino and would not consider any other for I have tried them all. If you follow their directions you will not be disappointed with the results.

The Odyssey 680 weighs 14 lbs compared to OEM of 35 lbs. I have never had a starting problem but it is meant to be used where it is warm. Will not start the car in cold conditions. The Odyssey 925 is meant for colder climates and weighs 25 lbs, a 10 lbs saving over OEM. The batteries cost...

Honda is refining their new Formula One engine, the RA002E, at Tochigi right now. The new engine is 3L, V10, 4 values per cyclinder, naturally aspirated engine which produces > 18,000 RPM's and > 800 BHP. It is mated to a 7 speed gearbox. Once this engine produces the racing results that they...
