    12V Battery

    Please note that $380 was the installed price for the battery. I started the thread with the thought of a battery upgrade, the Optima Yellow Top, a well known "better than OEM" kind of product. I don't know why, but I have not got myself to embrace Li ion replacements for lead acid version. I...

    12V Battery

    Just sharing here. My first battery quit all at once, dashboard showed lots of codes after jumping it, car under 4 years old. I tried to get the servicing dealer to replace the second battery last fall, prophylactically but the dealer said it tested fine. This past winter it required a jump...

    12V Battery

    Brought the car into the servicing dealership today. They would have installed the Optima but it would take a day to source from NAPA, about $140 more than the OEM part. I went with the OEM battery, about $380 installed and has an 8 year warranty, 3 years at 100% coverage and sliding pro-ration...

    12V Battery

    My car is 8 1/2 years old The original 12V battery was replaced under warranty when the car as around 3 1/2 years old I credit longer battery life for this one to keeping the car in sport + for at least 20 minutes before shutting it down It has required a jump a couple of times this winter...

    New windshield costs

    When mine was replaced it was like $6K (covered by insurance). In addition to the windshield, there are multiple trim pieces that Acura recommends including replacing in the repair (by the book). Since then other folks have had the job done, re-using the above-mentioned trim pieces.

    Body gap…

    I own 0243 I noticed the gap between the hatch and the passenger side is a bit more than on the driver side when I picked up my car in 2016 I chalked it up to the US build and called it a day Honestly, the overall build quality for the NSX was quite good, just not as good as my LC500 Convertible

    PMC Certificate, Window Sticker, and VIN Stickers

    Totally agree, a big part of why Gen 2 was flunk zilla was lack of individualization (and no open top iteration) I was told that for any paint color, Honda goes through a full validation of how it will hold up That would make offerings like paint to sample take forever to be produced and at a...

    PMC Certificate, Window Sticker, and VIN Stickers

    Maybe they were looking at offering the deck lid painted black like the roof and never ended up offering it that way.

    PMC Certificate, Window Sticker, and VIN Stickers

    I think this would be the body color material to the rear of the hatch glass that the optional rear spoiler is stuck to.

    PMC Certificate, Window Sticker, and VIN Stickers

    PMC cert is not associated with a factory tour. I received one for my 2017. Kind of a combo congratulations, thank you and momento. Includes a lot of build specifics for your car. Some odd trivia, ex. D8 is body colored rear deck lid. I haven't seen one with a non body colored deck lid. Notes...

    The NC1 Engine

    When Lee was the Internal NSX Specialist, the points he made for going with Cosworth were: Honda did not have a low production oriented facility for the NSX motor. They liked the plasma-ion spray coating Cosworth uses. Honda engineers had to go help Cosworth figure out how to increase their...

    Why so many NSX’s for sale right now. It is such a GREAT car!

    I was at a cars and coffee today and this appeared. Had a nice chat with the owner. 2020 130R white on full black leather, CF interior package, interwoven wheels, red calipers, steel brakes, no exterior CF. He had been looking for an NA2 and kept getting outbid. He has a car business and will...

    BAD NSX

    This sounds like fun in the making. What kind of doc are you (my guess is orthopedic surgeon based on your love of the wrench)? If you are coming to Chicago again, send a heads up, coffee is on me.

    NSX EV Control Modules & Drive Mode Informational Video

    Direct from Honda https://global.honda/en/tech/serial/Honda_Super_Handling_part07/ This guy recently did a video on the Gen 2 vs other cars for the buck. He couldn't get himself to acknowledge that the eRay is a natural competitor. I think his wrench in hand videos are quite good. Him trying...

    The NC1 Engine

    I would really enjoy driving the T33 (an S2000 for a person wtih $50 million is assets), the T50 is too hardcore for me. I wish he had someone strong enough to say, boss we loved the F1 but you gotta put some more flair into today's cars. The Ferrari guys pose the natural question, GMA or a SP3...
