So, I ordered/received the CAIG F100L and placed some drops in the volume potentiometer stack (see arrows in picture). Worked the volume knob CW/CCW a bit to ensure a good coat on the wiper. While I had everything apart, I did check about 50% of the capacitors on all boards in the Alpine Radio...

As promised ... two of my Bose amps - one from the doors and one from the sub/center:

Pics from 2004 NSX Alpine head unit My audio started making "popping/crackles" when the volume knob was turned up/down. Usually, this would take care of itself after a few minutes and/or exercising the volume knob up/down. I've got some time on my hands, and knowing that the radio and amps are...

So I replaced the main relay yesterday. Took a few photos of '04 location (right where Larry said it would be). Examining the old relay, all of the solder joints appear to be just fine. Quite a bit of flux here and there, but no cold or collapsed joints and no evidence of lifting traces. At...

My son let me borrow his Autel DS708 Diag tool (very nice!). Hooked it up and still found no issues. All applicable NSX tests (including Throttle test) came back fine. But, that's to be expected since problem is not showing itself right now! I, too, thought that a main relay temp failure...

So I hooked-up the OBD reader when I got home (BTW - no issues when driving home) and it did not register any pending or active codes. I've ordered a new main relay, but this is a bit of a mystery. Recalling what happened when I had the problem, I realized that gas pedal inputs did not produce...

It's been quite a long time since my last post. My '04 NSX has been in garage for past 2 months, decided to drive it into work this morning. I've had it on a battery tender - no problems with starting and charging system was fine according to gauges during the trip this morning. My trip to work...

Sorry if this is a repost - did a quick check, but ... I especially like 40 seconds into the commercial :wink: http://www.honda.co.uk/hands/

As you know, this is a very broad subject with many different approaches. Each person has there own list of do's and don'ts and chemical favorites are extremely varied. One of the first things I did was checkout some of the more popular detailing sites on the web. You can also find some pretty...

I absolutely agree with both points! The charges were from the dealer, which speaks to the high price.

I wondered the same thing prior to buying the car. However, I began to understand when I saw the route she had to take each day to work. Lots of stop/go stuff and holding on hills at stop lights, etc. Now, don't get me wrong, the replacements still tell me someone was riding a clutch, but ...

Eiffel's Place - 770-509-8883. He has done the maintenance on mine and has always treated me right.

The original owner of mine replaced her first clutch at 13972 miles and her second clutch at 23480 miles. She had a short commute up/down the Palos Verde pennisula every day. As the second owner, I'm on that third clutch, car has just over 33K miles and all (knock on wood) is fine. But, I've had...

Thanks for the heads-up. I can always use a 35% discount at AutoGeek. Might have to restock the detailing cabinet for the summer!

After attending the show on Saturday, I 100% agree with the in-person reactions to the looks as opposed to just seeing the pictures. I was reserving judgement on the looks until seeing it in person - I'm impressed with everything except the rims and any real, subtle outward link to the earlier...
