I too am looking for a reliable mechanic. I have used the Acura dealer in Wexford before but they don't really have anyone left that knows a lot about servicing the car. I have had a brake problem for the last two years that no one seems to be able to fix. I would love to get my 91 back on the...

My climate control went bad and I took my car into the dealership to get a quote. They wanted to replace the board, the motor, and the LCD display. They thought that all three went bad. The quote was $2500 plus labor for the install. They did not have the book that estimates time so they were...

Anyone who ever thinks about selling their NSX should read this thread. There will always be a spot in my garage for the NSX. It has tenure. It is never leaving.

I have owned my NSX since '00 and last fall I had some money burning a hole in my pocket and saw an Elise at the dealer I bought my Range Rover from. On a spur of the moment decision I bought the Elise. At first I really loved the car. It was fast, turned on a dime, and got loads of attention. I...

I am thinking of either selling my NSX or putting in a Comptech SC and I need help! Does anyone in the area have an NSX with a SC? If so can you give me a ride? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for replying. I am still not sure were to go for the SC. I have conceded the fact that I am going to have to go to the dealer for some other issues so I am just going to have them fix the bumper. I actually bought my car off Fuzzy but he told me that they did not have anyone qualified...

Its not an ideal solution but for people who like to keep their cars stock it seems like a good option. It is also the most DIY way I have seen. Do any of the later model (I have a '91) NSX's have steering wheel controls?

I just saw this and thought that this would be great for those of you with stock radio's. It appears to be really easy to install which is a big bonus for those of you who dread having to take the car to an installer. http://www.ipod2car.com/ Edit: just saw this on their site. "Acura NSX...

prova4re, I have a 2003 8000 series which my installer says will not work the the IPOD unit. Since I am pretty happy with the sound quality now I see no real reason to upgrade since the IPOD controls are very easy to get to where i have it. Once the second generation unit comes out and there...

Any of you guys know of a place in Pittsburgh that can do a Comptech SC install?

The only way to use the ipod with a stock system is to use a tape adapter. Don't even bother with the FM Transmitters. I never have never had consistent results using them. Sometimes the sound is ok and there is minimal static but most of the time the quality is just too low to enjoy. The...

Yes I have been looking at the Alpine Interface but have not had a definitive answer from someone regarding compatibility with my head unit. There is no info on their web site about this yet and they seem to only be saying 2004 Head Units. I would really love to have the song information...

So I finally got around to hard wiring the ipod into my car. It was really simple and cheap and fits my needs perfectly. Here is what I did: 1. Bought a Belkin Ipod Charger with Line Out. 2. Added a second 12 volt cigarette slot by tapping into the existing lighter wires. 3. Hooked up an RCA...

SUCCESS!!! Got home pretty late from work so I had to wake up early this moring to install the Optima. I hooked up the battery and the car started up with no problems. My only issue though is that the battery connections do no tighten up enough to insure that they will not slip off the...

Ok I went out today and bought an Optima battery from Pep Boys. It was $109.00....ouch. I figured since I just bought a new car the NSX was jealous and needed a nice present so I went with the expensive battery. Since I have never changed the battery I am a little worried about messing...

Thanks guys! I am going to buy a new battery tommorow. Hopefully that will solve the problem. Thank god for this board!

Sorry if this has been discussed before but I cannot find any reference to my problem. MY 91 has been in a deep winter sleep since the end of November. This morning I tried to start it for the first time and obviously the battery was almost dead. I hooked up my jump starter and when I turned...

Ya I am debating between using glossy or a matte finish. I know that the matte will probably look better in the long run but I don't want it to diminish the metallic silver look. I need to experiement!

Thanks Joe! Unfortunately I learned that lesson the hard way from trying to paint other plastic things in the past. I also use rubbing alcohol after I clean it in order to remove any oils that may be on the plastic. I really hope I don't mess this up!

I have cut my center console to install an after market head unit and can confirm that it is not metal underneath. The cross section where I had it cut clearly shows that it is plastic all the way through. I want to paint the center console, Nav Pod, door piece and gauge cluster surround. I...

I am seriously considering having most of my trim pieces painted silver but have some questions: 1. How does one identify a good shop to do the work? I have never had any cars painted or ever needed to visit a body shop for work. What kind of things should I look for or look out for? 2...

Where do you live in the burgh? I would love to get together and check out your car and swap some war stories! I live in Shadyside. Let me know, maybe we can get the other pittsburghers to come. Happy Thanksgiving Jon

nsxtasy, I narrowed my search using various words and searching only in the subject fields and it still is not responding. This is making me feel really stupid since I used to work in web development. Do you know who I should contact at nsxprime about this?

Sorry NSXtacy is supposed to be NSXtasy.

NSXtacy, When I submit a search request the info is never returned from the server. My screen just waits until it times out. I am using IE 6 and have tried on multiple machines over the past week. Thanks for the reply. Sorry to post this kind of question in a general forum. I did find a...
