The web addy listed does not work for me; is it still up?

re I certainly do not want a GT car. I think some of you are all too focused on my comments regarding the powerplant; maybe I'm finally too old to write clearly. At any rate, I'll try to rephrase my opinion as to come off less like a whino, and more like an ardent enthusiast. In the early...

re It was, in the sense that it replaced the v12 that never materialized b/c Jag ran out of money in developing the xj220. My civic comment was a critique of Honda's current "market philosohpy," how it ultimatly shortchanges the enthusiast and undermines what honda has accomplished in the...

re My comments pertaining to the styling were to implore the evolution of the car, as a fundamental concept -- not a mimmick. Everyone takes certain ques from given aesthetic, and functional, fundamental shapes, but it's the evolution of that shape that creates something novel. My implict...

re Maybe the headline should read: "Honda reveals another facelifted NSX gimmick!" Because they can call that concept what they want, but it's just a reskined NSX, and that's a shame. I used to admire Honda for being ingeniously redundant; the parts bin cars, the interchangability of parts...

Looking for a used 3.2 motor, if anyone has a line on one available, please email me, or post here. I've peformed a search, looked at the ERZcars site, and a few others; going to call, as well as the local shops. Located in So Cal, also, if anyone would care to chime in on 'market value' of a...

I don't understand, "false chicanes" at T1; T1 is a fast left hander, are you running the course CW or CCW?

Andrie: Is it just me or do you have a Senna replica helmet? If so, very nice!

I'm looking for a skilled and trustworthy shop in San Diego, and was curious to know if some of the San Diego members had any reccomendations. Anyone know of a good Honda/Acura independant? Thanks in advance.

I've always said that the C5 vette's were very NSX inspired, but, looking at thme nose to nose, the execution of designs is magnitudes better on the NSX than the C5. NSX looks hands down better!

Agreed, but it should/could apply to transversly mounted engines, as the NSX is. But, I've never heard of the fluid coined as "transaxle" fluid. Just tranny fluid, which is one and the same as the diff fluid. So, as to finally answer the questions, yes, all you have to replace is the...

TWC, Thank you for the info, looks like I'll be looking into a Kragen battery soon! -Hubert [This message has been edited by bb6 (edited 28 April 2002).]

Taken from Webster's: Transaxle: A unit that consists of a combination of transmission and front axle used in front-wheel-drive automobiles.

How much, roughly, does the Zanardi battery weight and how much more/less does the Kragen replacement weight? Also, not to pry, but how much was the battery itself?

So Cal-NSX, You can have your wheels powdercoated, there is a place here in San Diego, on PCH called RW Little, the phone number is: 619 297 3705. I believe powdercoating runs ~ $35/40 per wheel, and turnaround time is ~ 10 business days. Something you migh look into, and as far as aftermarket...
