As is tradition on NSXprime if there are no pictures it did not happen. Let's see some!!

It's pretty sad. I have a subscription to Automobile and I used to have one for Autoweek and pretty much ever car mag at some point or another. I'd look forward to reading them. I guess I'm used to it because I'm 52 and grew up that way. Pretty soon everything will be on-line and instant...

I saw this last week and I have to say it made me really sad. She was really cool. I guess the cliche is that at least she died doing what she loved.

Hey Larry. Thanks for the input. Hope that you're well. If I was going to bet someone I'd say you hit the nail on the head with the bracket pins not sliding freely. When I had a seized caliper in my CRX it was stuck out (the piston) and causing the rotor to get hot (red hot). Never...

Once in a while I just type "NSX" in the search on Amazon. The front spoiler just happened to pop up.

I managed to get a front spoiler from Amazon for 89 bucks shipped. Brand new factory Honda part. Like your's they fixed the price right after I bought it. Now $351.97 plus tax and shipping. Score!!!!

Your guess is as good as mine. When I have driven our van in the past I did not notice any uneven braking. What was a bit unusual, in addition to the missing pad, was that the passenger side brake was still within it's serviceable limit so there was certainly some extra friction going on with...

So I've talked to a couple of people who have seen this happen before. Mostly, if not all the time, happens on the caliper side where the pistons are pushing the pad. I've since replaced the caliper, rotors, and pads. The box is back up and running and the wife is happy. Those brakes were...

So as the title suggests my wife's minivan (a 2011 Toyota Sienna) was missing the driver's side inner brake pad. She texted me to tell me that she heard a noise and then the brakes were not as effective. When I got home the first thing I noticed was a puddle of brake fluid in the area of the...

The bottom line for me is that a sports car needs to have a manual transmission. I know that the dual clutch transmissions are faster/better but that's not the point. In a world where most people don't track their cars the speed difference really does not matter. I can't wait to the mid...

I was just looking at the stats for the 370Z and they compare or exceed the Supra's hp figures with an NA motor. I don't think it's faster but it's close and it comes with three pedals. I'm not a Nissan fan boy but Toyota needs to up their game so as not to be compared to a much older design...

Fixed. I don't know why I thought it was a V6. I don't think that the Supra is trying to be a luxury sports car this time. Two seater, lighter weight, smaller....not very GT car like. I'm willing to bet they compare it to the 370 when it's finally tested.

There has been much to do about the new Supra. I owned a Mk4 TT with a six speed many years ago and it was a great car (NSX better though). Just wondering what everyone thinks about it. I think Toyota missed the mark on this one. A rebadged BMW is not the direction Toyota should have gone. A...

Oh how I long for the simpler days when cars were more "analog". That is one reason why my fleet of vehicles are all older (90s to early 2000s). I like to wrench on my cars and I feel with these newer cars it would be almost impossible to do it. I watched a video recently that featured the...

Any chance you could lemon law your 2017 and get a new one?? Sounds like they are really messing it up.
