    Looking for original smaller front apron

    Does anyone have one of the original black front aprons from the first few years of the car, which are smaller than the 97+ ones? All the dealer has now are the 97+ ones, but I have constant issues with hill transitions near my house in the hills, even when I go slowly and at a sharp angle, so...

    Extra Ticket to Concorso

    Anyone need a spectator ticket to the Concorso Italiano 8/13/10 in the Monterey area? My friend developed a family obligation which now prevents him from going. The tickets are $110 each now (and may be even more at the gate, I don't know), but he will sell his for the $80 he paid for it by...

    Jim Russell now has his own place

    For those of you who are fans of Jim Russell (formerly of Hopkins Acura) as I am, this is good news. Jim had briefly managed the service center of Serramonte Acura, but now co-owns Belmont Car Center and will service NSXs and other cars himself there. For anyone who hasn't heard, Jim is not...

    Jim Russell is available again! (And a smog tip)

    Jim Russell, whom I and others have written lots of praise about for his extensive NSX knowledge, is available again! He is now Service Manager at Acura of Serramonte 650-985-1000. A little farther away than he was at Hopkins Acura in Redwood City, but I sure plan to go the extra trip. I...

    NSX Collector Car Insurance

    I recently changed from Hagerty Insurance to Delp (a program endorsed by Barrett-Jackson) after they included a brochure in my 2009 Concorso exhibitor packet While I have not had a claim with them to know how that would go, I was amazed at how inexpensive it was, for agreed value coverage...

    Any way to change policy about visiting on each new post to stay subscribed?

    Is there any way to change the requirement to visit a forum (thread) in order to keep getting notifications of new posts to it? I often am subscribed to something, and can read right in the email that someone has said something simple like that they are coming too, so really don't need to now...

    Stale Avatar

    I updated my Avitar, but all my postings still show my old photo -- even brand new postings like this. If you click on that photo, it goes to my profile, and there the new picture shows. How can I update the avitar photos which show on my postings? Chip

    SF Concours

    Anyone going to this? I just heard about it and ordered a ticket. http://www.sfconcours.com A bit pricey, but it might be fun and does include a fashion show. Apparently parking is another $10, and the ticket fee $6, so total is $66. Chip

    Collector Car Insurance

    I have become concerned recently that should anything happen to my NSX, whether stolen, totaled, etc., my insurance company would end up undervaluing what the car is worth. I would likely get some median bluebook price, not accounting for the excellent condition or the rare color. So I looked...

    NSXCA "Stuck" Hats

    SF Bay Area NSX members: Calvin Douglas has created (and patented) some hats which include small loops behind the brim to hold your sunglasses. So if you put your sunglasses up there, they stay secure, and don't go flying off when you forget they are there and remove your hat. One of the...

    Concorso Italiano

    Tickets for the Concorso Italiano will go up in price on 3/1, so if you would like to go, you should probably sign up now. I registered with my NSX already, and there is almost always a group of us NSX folks there. If you are bringing a friend, it is cheaper to do a corral ticket which...

    Recommendation for Hopkins Acura in Redwood City

    I have written before to recommend Jim Russell at Hopkins Acura after a previous service there. But it's been a while since my post, and after just getting a new transmission there, feel driven to mention again how strongly I recommend Jim and this shop for all NSX owners. Jim worked with me...

    Another recommendation of Jim Russell at Hopkins Acura

    I am writing to post yet another glowing recommendation of Jim Russell at Hopkins Acura in Redwood City. I had two different issues recently, and he handled them amazingly deftly. The first was that I had started to get a mildew-like smell from the vents, as I have had happen on other cars...

    NSXprime travel mug

    My wife left my NSXprime travel mug in the sun, and the logo is all but faded off. It mostly looks like it says Prime, like I got it from a butcher or something. :wink: I went to http://www.cafepress.com/nsxprime but can no longer find the travel mug (the metal one with a lid so your coffee...

    Switching to Marin Acura for Parts

    While I always get my car serviced by Jim Russell at Hopkins Acura in Redwood City, I usually buy any pricey parts by mail with my NSX club discount. In the past, I have always used Neillo Acura, but I just had an experience which made me switch to Marin Acura. I wanted to share the info. My...

    Odd sound from brake pedal

    Last night when driving home in my NSX, I started getting a really odd sound from the brake pedal. When I would first touch it, there would be a clicking sound for a moment as it engaged. It reminded me of the sound of a small spark. If I pressed the pedal again without much delay, it would...

    What are your favorite cars from a styling/design perspective?

    I am interested in hearing what NSX owners like in automobile styling. What are your favorite cars from a styling/design perspective? For me, number one is the Jaguar F-Type concept. Jaguar F-Type Concept Pictures I actually put a deposit on this car just a couple of weeks after seeing it...

    Where do I find Reputation Comments?

    I have not been able to find the reputation comments for myself, only the rating. I found it on one of my posts, and clicking on the icon gave me the number of points (4), but no comments or names of those placing them. I therefore searched for reputation in the site news forum, and found...

    Downshifting mid-turn vs. while braking

    I have always seen good drivers downshift as they enter a corner, and have done so myself. But doing so either requires heel-toeing to keep braking while downshifting with appropriate throttle, or repeatedly stopping braking for a second to engage each lower gear with some throttle. If I could...

    Need aspirator fan, center dash panel

    My aspirator fan has started making noise. Jim at Hopkins Acura in Redwood City hoped it would be fixed by blowing out the debris from it (if you search the forums for "aspirator" you will see that was just the right thing to try), but even after doing so it still buzzes. So I guess I need a...
