    2002 NSX on Bring A Trai.er

    I don't know if this belongs on the classified page or not, but my beautiful 2002 Silverstone NSX is on BaT. The bidding ends on Wednesday. If you are interested, go to...

    What can I expect when I’m ready to buy an Acura NSX?

    Light and nimble? You bet! Nothing will put a smile on your face like driving a twisty back road in an NSX. You will get attention wherever you go like no other car. If I don't get a thumbs up from another driver every time I drive it, I think somethings wrong. I had a pedestrian jump out...

    Car shipping

    Intercity Lines is fantastic! They're the most professional people. They ship for Jay Leno and Wayne Carini. They do a lot of shipping to Pebble Beach, etc. They all want a full truck and you can't blame them. But the Intercity kept in touch with me almost every day as they delivered my car...

    Who is the oldest NSX owner that still drives their car regularly?

    OK... OK. I'm in. I turn 73 on Wednesday. I'm on my second NSX. First one destroyed 4 years ago by a DWI moron. Driving an NSX NEVER gets old, even if I do. Still hoping to do another track tack to show you young wiper-snappers how it's done.

    C8 finally unveiled!!!

    I think GM has hit a home run with the C8. I, too, would like a MT option, though.

    Rough Idle

    In the end, I took her to the local Certified NSX Mechanic and he assured me that, that although the vibration is perhaps slightly more than my previous NSX, the car is quite normal. There is a intrinsic secondary imbalance in a 90 degree V6 and they believe that is what I am feeling. We...

    Great! Thank you.

    Rough Idle

    Wow! You are the best! That is exactly what I wanted to know. I have access to short term and long term % fuel trim for both banks. It seams that the short and long term trim are going mostly positive and seldom negative. That surprises me. I also have access to the O2 sensor voltages. I...

    Rough Idle

    The previous owner (I think you know him) drove the car after the PPI and didn't notice the problem (I believe him). The car has not been worked on since the PPI. I noticed the problem the day the car arrived. So, either the problem is so subtle as to not be noticed by PO, or the car broke in...

    Rough Idle

    I got an OBD Fusion scanner app and it does show fuel trim percentage. The percentages (in the garage) run from about -1% to about +15%. I don't know how to tell if that is normal or not. One bank seem about 2 or 3 percent higher than the other. When the car is fully warmed up the roughness...

    I am aware that the stethoscope is a very incomplete test but it was all I had. I agree with what you are saying, and am looking to get a better OBDII App. so I can check things like fuel trim. Can you recommend a good one for an iPad? My old one isn't very complete. Thanks, Gary

    OBDII App

    Can anyone recommend a good OBDII app for my iPhone? I have 2 OBDII readers, but the Bluetooth reader fails to connect, so I need one to work with my WiFi reader. Free would be nice, but willing to pay for a good app. Gary

    Rough Idle

    So, I've checked the plugs, coils, O2 sensors and for stored codes. The fuel injectors sound the same with a stethoscope. The engine mounts look fine. Has anyone got any other ideas on what I can check? Thanks, Gary
