    Official SoCal "Sighting" Thread - post all your NSX sightings here!

    Saw a black NA1, in Santa Maria - driving north on College coming up on the round-a-bouts at about 10:30am today. Haven't seen another NSX here in town for a long while, wondering if it's someone local?

    Something is draining my battery when the car is turned off

    I'm having exactly the same problem. We did the ammeter test and it says it's pulling 120ma, which I think is 2 or 3 times normal? Looks like the fuse that runs the "interior lighting" circuit is the culprit, but we haven't figured out what the issue is specifically yet. What's also...

    Went in for an A/C recharge, left with a bill for $1,200. :(

    Had a similar issue - somewhere in the cars history someone probably hit a dip too fast and both of the front condenser fans cracked. That was never fixed and the AC kind of worked OK but eventually the compressor started making all kinds of noises and I ended up taking it in. Had to get both...

    Official SoCal "Sighting" Thread - post all your NSX sightings here!

    I think I saw a black NSX pulled off on the southbound side of the 101, just north of Santa Maria, CA, with hazards blinking. Just got a glimpse, hope someone wasn't having problems...

    Sighting - Santa Maria, CA, Silver NSX sighted

    Saw a silver NSX in Santa Maria, CA this morning - probably getting gas and then heading up or down the 101. I think it's the second one I've ever seen here, other than my own. Anyone here?

    How Stuff Works - Car Stuff on the NSX

    Definitely worth a listen, and the show in general is very good. I'm the "Dave" they mention at the beginning for recommending they do the NSX Not sure how to link directly to the episode, but here's the link to the podcast in itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/carstuff/id297680411...

    Are my amplifiers bad?

    FYI - that totally fixed it :-) Can't believe the fix for this problem was actually "wiggle it" Thanks!

    Are my amplifiers bad?

    I'm trying to figure out how to troubleshoot an issue with the OEM stereo in my '93 NSX. The stereo sounds fine unless you touch the volume control. If you try and adjust the volume (and even the lightest touch makes it happen) there's very loud popping/static from all the speakers. Once you...

    Can't read gas gauge at night

    At night, when I have the headlights on - the dash lights up all orange, but the gas gauge needle isn't illuminated at all. I can read the gauge itself but the needle basically turns invisible. The gauge below it can't be read either, but all the other ones are fine. Is there a separate bulb...
