Argh! I wanted to take my car to Pomona next year, too. Guess I'll have to drive all the way up to Sears Point next summer. :\

I'm not very familiar with the NSX (don't have one), but the one I drove briefly did have a semi-stiff gas pedal. It is common for older 1st-gen MR2s to have stiff throttle pedals. One of mine had this. I lubricated every part of the throttle linkage I could find, from the pedal all the way...

16.55 @ 87 mph on the G-Tech.* Boy I'm flyin' now! <font size="1">* - Time attained in 100 degree heat with a bad O2 sensor, worn plugs, all season tires, and 130,000 miles.</font>

Well I have an older MR2 so maybe I can provide some insight. The MR2 Turbo was available in the United States from 1991 to 1995. '95 models are quite rare (for a non-supercar), with only about 380 imported to the US that year. They are still commanding higher prices ($25000 for a nice low...

I'm 19 with no job, a $2,500 car, and a deep, deep, desire for an NSX. Can I have a $50k no-interest loan with 20 years to pay it off?

Technically it is required in California to have a front license plate, although I see many many cars without them. I have been running around without a front plate for a little over a year now. I'll take my chances, because a front plate would cover up most of my grille and affects cooling...

Hey Kenji! Practice heel/toe and rev-matching on your Mister... get it fixed yet?

Twin turbo MR2? No such thing. Not from the factory anyway. Perhaps the lettering on the engine is misleading -- it says "Twin Entry Turbo". But there is only one turbo on there. Still quite an amazing car for its price back in the early 90s. Quarter mile in 14.5 seconds for a pretty low...

Oh yes, obviously the NSX was not designed to cruise around at 35 mph. I know it can blow away my old MR2 in just about every respect [my Mister's got it on price though!]. I was just pleasantly surprised to notice that some things felt familiar. The NSX was also the first Honda car I've...

I don't know about the NSX, but among the MR2 community, Redline MT-90 comes highly recommended to help combat and prevent rough shifting. I have personally seen this stuff turn a 190,000 mile worn out crunchalot MR2 transaxle into a brand-new-feeling unit. It's amazing stuff in the MR2s. I...

KenjiMR's new BRG beauty, to be specific. I was on a military base so I could only putt around below 35mph, but I still got a decent feel for the car at low speeds. I'm a college student and as such can only afford the humble first-gen MR2. First thing I noticed when I sat inside was the...
