    Dallas area mechanics

    Like others have said, Curtis at Goodson in Dallas is one of the best when it comes to the NSX and has done most of the work on mine. However I will say that living closer to Fort Worth makes this more difficult. If your want to go to the FTW side of town, I found that Steve Metcalfe at...

    DFW 92' NSX Lowered, need help finding Inspection Station

    For some reason this year everyone that has tried to do an inspection on my lowered NSX says they can't do it, it's too low, or their machine has been down. Does anyone know an inspection station with an in ground dynamometer that could do a state inspection for such a low car? Preferably in the...

    Detailer wanted in Dallas area.

    I have used Josh Ottman a couple times now. He is very good and is very knowledgable. I would highly suggest him. In my opinion you get what you pay for typically...you will get quality work from him. Should be able to just google him and get some contact info. Good luck.

    AC problem

    What year is your NSX? Mine is an early one, and just recently both my condensor fans went out. This was a pricey fix, that alone with labor was about $1300 I think plus the other issues I had. Hope for only blown fuses, but I had the same issue and wasn't so lucky. I have lots of miles on mine...

    Horrible Experience at Goodson Acura, Irving, TX

    This is an older thread, not quite sure how it got resurrected. But I am a little surprised to be called a "F**king tool" by someone on their first post on this forum. I was merely trying to help someone else to avoid major problems at a dealership like I had. They totally dropped the ball with...

    Blown tire today...Lucky to be alive.

    I have the Goodyear GS-D3 too. I apparently had a nail in the tire when the left rear blew doing about 100 mph. The profile is low, and hard sidewalls kept it all together so that turned out ok. But I highly recommend these tires too, even though there have been some supply issues with them, due...

    Where are the DFW NSX owners?

    I have a '92 Black/Black with 140K miles, bought in '02 with 52K. Stopped daily driving it about a year ago. Mostly stock, except for Work Wheels 17/18 Emotions, TEIN MonoFlex suspension, and drilled/slotted rotors with Hawk pads, and some stereo upgrade. Need to do a few more things, but in...

    Brake Rotor Advice...

    Thanks, but forgot to mention mines a '92. Will those still work? or maybe with a different braket or something?

    Brake Rotor Advice...

    Thanks, that helps. I believe the drilled ones I have on there now are Bradi. So I suppose another way to ask the question is what brands to avoid in going the aftermarket oem size route?

    Brake Rotor Advice...

    Well, due to an unfortunate incident with a rear wheel, I have the wheels and brakes off the back. Thought I would turn the rotors and replace the pads, which are close to done at the same time. The rotors are a few years old, drilled rotors, I think I got them through Dali Racing. Turns out the...

    G.Y. F1 GS-D3 backordered forever!! what to do..

    I ran into the same problem this week too. I have the Goodyear F1 GS-D3, which I love by the way. Had one blow out, only to hear that there were none left anywhere in the country in that size, 255/35 18, and that they probably wouldn't be available for months. Not happy, considering how much...

    MSN Article Cool cars we miss

    Wow, haven't heard anyone reference the Fiat X 1/9 in a long time! Funny because that was my first car, paid $900 for a 1978, in like 1990. Maybe thats where I found my preference for mid engine sports cars? Now I drive the NSX, and now I spend like $900 for a set of tires, if I am lucky...

    Suspension Upgrade - Suggestions?

    I just did Tein Mono Flex from SOS about a month ago. It replaced the original suspension on my 92 and what an incredible difference! I don't daily drive mine anymore, if I did I would say it's too harsh with the roads around here. It's nice because you can adjust the ride height to just how you...

    Alignment on my newly lowered NSX

    I went to Dallas Frame and Alignment today. They were very helpful and knew what was up. Down to earth guys. Took half the time and half the money and pointed out some other issues not seen before. Definitely recommend! Thanks for the recommendation

    Alignment on my newly lowered NSX

    I just put new tires up front due to bad alignment from previous issue. I put new Tein Mono Flex coilovers on at the same time. So I am good to go. I took it to Vandergriff Acura in Arlington, TX to get the alignment done and they said it was too low and coudln't get it on the rack. Its about...

    Horrible Experience at Goodson Acura, Irving, TX

    Whatever you do, DO NOT go to MacChurchill Acura in Ft. Worth. I took mine there for service since I bought the car from the start about 6 years ago. Everything was fine until the last year. They made some major service personnel changes. After an accident I took it there first to evaluate, with...

    Climate Control Problems Revisited....

    Well, after putting some more thought into this with BrianK's suggestion. I did a search and dug through some other threads on this one. I put the CCU back together and reinstalled it. Powered it up and tried the simplest thing next...jiggle some wires/connections. I found the main blower motor...

    Climate Control Problems Revisited....

    Thanks. I will dig into the blower motor part of this before I do anything else with the control unit. We'll see where this goes, thanks for the response I appreciate it!

    Climate Control Problems Revisited....

    As of today, I couldn't get it to run at all. Went through all the ranges, etc. Didn't even come on intermittenly like it did the last several days. That's why I decided to go ahead and pull it out to look at the board. Kinda a progressively worsening problem over the last week and a half or so...

    Climate Control Problems Revisited....

    I have a 92 NSX with Climate Control Fan not blowing now. About 2 years ago I had the "fan only blows on high" issue. I had the board removed, the capacitors replaced by a local TV repair technician, put back in and has been fine since. About a week ago is started acting up again, only blowing...

    Do any of you plan on keeping the NSX forever?

    I plan to keep mine forever. Several reasons.....#1 it's a great car! and it has significance in the history of sports cars. #2 you always hear stories from people from older generations, like my Dad, "I wish I had never sold that car, I loved that car, and it would be worth so much now". I am...

    NSX Paid off!!!

    I am in the home stretch myself...got some money I was gonna pay down the credit cards with...but thinking the 6K to pay it off and be done with it is awfully appealing right now. I am in the process of finding a truck to daily drive. getting some small things done to clean up my NSX so it's...

    I made a mistake....I think its gonna be ok...but need to ask

    I replaced the fuse, 120A...found at parts store somewhat surprisingly. And all was fine. Thanks for the posts. But yeah...I think the fan did come on for a second when the horn blew in my face too. Turned out to be not a big deal really...but freaked me out. I always had Optima batteries in my...

    I made a mistake....I think its gonna be ok...but need to ask

    Cool, thanks. with the way the posts sit on that battery vs. previous I had it set in wrong and the whole batter is red...didn't pay close enough attention ...I feel like an idiot! But thanks!
