Thanx all for the responses, and to Mark for the good news. It's good news these days when anyone's working and (presumably) making money, and good news for all your customers if you're booked 10 days out. My NSX and I both sleep better knowing you're still operating here in the valley and...

Could anyone tell me if Mark Basch is still operating his shop in PHX, and if so, is there a handy current e-mail address for the shop/him - or/and a current phone number for the shop/him? Thanx - RR '93 BLK/BLK

Well, looks like I'll be disappointed. Just had time to do a quick scan to ensure that it did air and did get recorded, but from what I could tell this show appears to be a 're-badged' show which aired some time ago on "The History Channel" as part of their Automobiles series; not a "new"...

Just a quick FYI note re: a TV show I happened across in the listings. Might have been posted already - don't really have time to search right now. Haven't seen it, so I don't know how good it is. Network: History International Series: Voyages Episode title: Automobiles:Honda NSX Duration...

Just for the record, I'm going to attempt (the impossible) to offer a general comment about Honda, while avoiding the exact specifics of the snap ring problem (or this instance thereof) almost entirely. It's generally true that most automakers fix problems at no charge, or "goodwill" repairs...

I did a quick search and didn't turn this up, so thought I'd mention it just in case. I caught a nice :30 show on Speed back on 11/05 titled "Honda at Speed", (which was followed by one of TK's :30 Test Drive shows featuring the new Civic). If you're a hardcore Honda fan like me and missed it...

Thanx yet again for posting that. What a refreshingly worthy use of bandwidth. Richard '93 Blk/Blk

Cool. I wouldn't be "concerned". Next time you're having service work done, I'd get it checked/set (checked to check the tach reading, set if out of spec). Just for the record, my '93 manual calls for (manual trans) 800 +/- 50 RPM under no-load conditions (no electrical loads/cooling fan/etc...

Unlikely anything "wrong" in terms of causing damage, etc., but considerably outside of spec. I wouldn't get too "concerned", but it does indicate either mal-function or mal-adjustment, and neither is desirable. I would get it back to spec at the next convenient opportunity. Aside from just...

It would be fair to say that my knowledge of suspension alignment is minimal, at best. There's a question I've ALWAYS had in my mind, and since we have the attention of some whose knowledge exceeds my own, and it's roughly on-topic, I think I'll ask it here: Why would one specify camber and...

Chalk that up as relatively painless feedback on the tech that did the work. Take note:( Richard '93 Blk/Blk

Kgb_agent: I keep hearing some of the neo-straightline-streetracer-types using the term: "ALL MOTOR". I think they're referring to a car with a naturally-aspirated engine. Sounds like the term "all motor" would aptly describe the car you drove. There have always been, and will always be...

That's a good show. Not that much NSX content, but if you're a Honda fan like I am, you'll find it well worth watching. On the other hand, I don't see that show on HC schedule for this Fri 0813. Netviper says: >>>The review was surprisly good. They hit on none of the negatives at all. I've...

Just leaving it in the hot car/trunk for a while before first use will help a LOT, giving it more stretch/flex. Put it on while still warm of course, and you'll have to work with it a bit the first time to get it on right. Subsequent installations will be much easier/quicker. I doubt there's...

Let me put it this way, guys. In the case of a showroom stock car that hasn't been "messed" with (I'm being kind), the most likely cause of such an issue would be an malfunction of the HVAC system such as I referred to above. Lots of things pass through the cabin walls which use...

Doesn't sound normal to me. I would suspect an issue relating to the air mix control motor / heater valve, or something in that area. Perhaps someone who knows more than I do (almost nothing) about this area can elaborate. Isn't all that stuff basically "under the dash"? Richard '93 Blk/Blk

Uh oh! I didn't mean to start somethin' here. Disregard all those last posts;)

Thanx. I just thought you'd found something I hadn't. Nah, I don't see 'em in 215-45/16. I do see a 205-45/16 though, and that would actually work fine. 205's enough cross-section for the front of an NSX (OE '91-'93), they'd work on the rim width, but they'd just be a little shorter. The...

NetViper: I don't see the ES100 listed in the OE 16" front size, so what sizes are you running on those '96 wheels? Just curious. Richard '93 Blk/Blk

It's the sun!! Seriously though, I can't imagine. You'd probably need to try to determine where, in general, the heat is being radiated from. The only problem(s) I've ever had (in other cars) that were anything like what you're describing were cause by a heater valve (in the cooling system...

We'll see. Jimmy Vasser's NSX still holds the place of prominence in his garage, and I doubt that's because he couldn't afford to trade after all these years. Let's give ourselves a little more credit for what we drive - how 'bout it? Then again, you might be implying that Honda really only...

dnicho05: I'm not taking exception to anything you said, but it certainly DOES beg the question: Why were you opening up an engine with only a measly 65K miles on it? Richard '93 Blk/Blk

Matteni: Thanks for the feedback. Washed mine per the directions, and I think you're right! HUGE improvement on the streaking (almost none), and seems to work as effectively as before (or close enough)! There is great joy in the desert! No more looking like I rubbed Vaseline on my hands and...

Well I'll be danged! Ya know many years ago I read through all sorts of seemingly scientifically-based tests documenting all sorts of objective parametric testing of things like viscosity index increase with time X temp, crud buildup / production with time X temp (crud is a scientific term)...
