Likewise as far as distance goes. I live in SoCal. My first NSX was in Portland, OR. The second in Melbourne, FL. Both times I drove them home. What a blast!

Fake? They're real ......... real big, that is. :tongue:

Nice, but I prefer this one (the car too). :biggrin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHYja3xEYOc

When I bought my second NSX 4 years ago I made the deal within 24 hours of the car being listed on NSX Prime. [Never mind the fact that the seller tried to back out of the deal even after I had wired him an $8,000 deposit and booked my 1-way plane ticket]. The car is a '91 and had 33,000 miles...

Wow, I am having the exact same problem with my NSX. I put in a new Costco Kirkland battery one year ago (make sure you get the one with the pos. & neg. terminals in the right place - the first one they sold me had them reversed), and about 6 months ago the battery had no juice left after the...

Hi! I'm new to the group (sort of - I had a '98 NSX-T that I sold 7 years ago). I've had my '91 NSX for 2 years now, but haven't done anything with the group yet. I plan on joining up for SuperCar Sunday though. I'll be driving down from Santa Barbara early Sunday morn'. I'll see you all in...

Hi, I went to get my NSX smogged last Saturday and the technician couldn't get a tachometer reading after hooking up his tester to the battery terminals. If he connects to the + Positive terminal in the Main Fuse Box in the engine compartment and grounds out the other lead will that give a...

Thanks a lot Larry! I bought the studs a few months ago and forgot that they had hex drives on them. I posted my thread after a friend said that if I had trouble removing the studs he had a stud remover that I could borrow. Started making me worry that the studs might be hard to get out...

Hi, I bought some new Valve Cover Studs as the threads aren't in the best of shape on the old ones and I've had a hard time bolting the rear Valve Cover tightly (it leaks). So........, I have all the parts I need, but before I start I was just wondering how hard is it going to be to remove...

One more thing. The smoke coming from the engine bay after I drive the car is worse when I park the car on a hill where the front of the car is higher than the rear. There is very little smoke when the tail is higher. It seems as if the oil pools in the back of the Valve Cover and perhaps...

Back again! This oil leak is really getting old!!!! I don't drive the car very much (partly because of the oil leak), and I don't live anywhere near a mechanic I know of to work on the car and have felt all along that I could fix it myself. Well, now that I've replaced the Cam Plugs, the...

Hi, I've golfed since I was 10. I'm a 6 handicap. I live in Santa Barbara, so if anyone is in the area or I'm down your way....... What general area are you in? Hit 'em straight! John

Hi again! Does anyone know what this fitting is that the three arrows in the photo are pointing to? IT is what appears to be (still) leaking. It has an Allen Head drive. I crawled under the car yesterday and it doesn't appear to be the spool valve gaskets that are leaking. Oil is now...

I don't know if anyone could load the photo, but I'm wondering what this fitting is on the head in the picture? Has it been known to leak? http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2525923140027835782BzwOLu

As the Cam Plugs looked oily I thought I would start by replacing them and the VC Gasket, but the Spool Valve Gaskets were also on my list when I first discovered the problem. I'll have to crawl under the car again, but I don't think they are leaking. :rolleyes: Thanks Brian!

Hi, Well after replacing both cam plugs and valve cover gasket on the rear head, it appears that a small amount of oil is still leaking onto the rear exhaust manifold heat shield. It appears to be coming from the area that the included photo is pointing to (I borrowed this photo off NSX Prime...

Hi Ron, Thanks for the offer! I'll let you know if I need somewhere to park my pictures. :smile: John

Wow, thanks for all the great responses! Very interesting! I'm so glad I followed the manual, otherwise I would have probably significantly under-torqued the cam bolts. I also carefully followed the bolt tightening sequence laid out in the manual. I'm still putting everything back together -...

Hi! I'm in the middle of replacing the rear head Cam Plugs and am ready to start the re-assembly process after the lengthy dis-assembly process. I was just curious as to why the manual calls for applying oil to the 8mm Cam Holder bolt threads? Thanks! :biggrin: John C. P.S. A big thanks...

Here in Santa Barbara I've only ever seen a couple of NSX's in all the years that I've lived here. Hopefully I can find an NSX-T to sit in and do a side-by-side headroom check.

Hi, I used to own a '98 NSX-T and recently purchased a '91 coupe. Although it's been 5 years since I last drove the targa, it seems like my 6'-1"+ frame has no headroom in the coupe, whereas the targa seemed a little less crowded (yes I had the targa top ON most of the time). I know I haven't...

I just bought the car and don't know what brand the carbon fiber hood is, but in looking around on the web I believe it's a VIS Type R hood. I went to Deft Racing's web site and low and behold look what I found, "HOOD PINS ARE REQUIRED". :eek...

OK - Hood Pins it is! Anyone have a source or brand they like/recommend? How about some photos of NSX's with said Pins installed? Thanks! :biggrin:

Has anyone had their Carbon Fiber hood fly open on them? When I drive over 100mph it looks like the hood is lifting right next to the crown of the fenders. There is a discernible gap between the fender and the hood which gets higher with speed. That gap isn't there when the car is stationary...

Global Market Meltdown! Germany: -7.2% France: -6.8% England: -5.5% Hong Kong: -5.5% Japan: -3.9% Good day for the Bears! Wonder how tomorrow will shape up (or down) for the US market? Time will tell. :eek: :eek:
