If we graded spelling on this list a large number of posts would be deleted. Pelican is not the only source for Porsche parts. For an unusual item like this you might want to try Stoddard Porsche.

Re: To Buy or Not To Buy: Opinion needed on SALVAGED 2003 NSX Good luck with the 2000. Have you considered age hardening of the aluminum as a result of the elevated temperatues? Might not be an issue in your case.

How many noticed the Pontiac 'McLaren' Turbo Grand Prix ? :rolleyes:

In my 996 they use 5W-40. The factory claims the lighter oil is for startup wear and the variocam, a few years behind VTEC. The idea is that the small oil passages used to actuate the Variocam bennifit from the lighter oil. I've been using 5-30 Redline in my 91 NSX.

I consider that younger:wink:

I believe I read somewhere that today's cars odometers are pretty accurate. You could try checking your speed against a GPS speedometer.

I believe Honda coated some of the fateners to prevent galvanic corrosion. If you are threading a steel bolt into an aluminum thread there is a bit of a corrosion issue. It wouold be increased if the area was subjected to water and/or salt. Keep your car out of the ocean :wink:

I've had the same experience in the past. If you want to see big numbers put a hot cup of coffee under the dyno's temp sensor ;-)

Re: Too tight, too white Did you ever see JV tuck hmself into an F1 car? His suit was baggy:wink:

Could be a problem with losing fuel pressure on the rail. If the pressure bleeds off over time it would be hard to start. Once started and restarted after a short time the pressure would be maintained enough to restart. I've seen this before.
