    Unofficial VOLK RACING/RAYS ENGINEERING wheel thread * Please post your PICS here

    I bought a set of the Volk ZE40 Time Attack IIs from Evasive in late 2020 since they were on sale. I'm really happy with the look, and I'm liking the Falken RT660s, too! F: 17x7.5" +42, 215/40R17 R: 18x9.5" +44, 255/35R18

    Possible Head Gasket Leak?

    They said it doesn't seem like either of these were used... They're not sure what it is exactly, but they said it seems very soft and not suitable for the repair. However, Carl claims he put Timeserts in for the repair. They also let me know that generic bolts were used in place of the OEM ones...

    Possible Head Gasket Leak?

    After a long awaited update, it is indeed the head gasket. The repair to the threads was done poorly, and the repaired threads failed, so there was no clamping force on one corner of the head. Brian at Source 1 is taking care of it for me, and while my wallet isn't happy about it, I'm glad it's...

    Possible Head Gasket Leak?

    UPDATE: The car leaked oil pretty noticeably this morning from a cold start. It made a puddle about 6 inches in diameter after idling for 30 seconds and left a thin trail as I pulled it out of the climate controlled storage facility I keep it in. After it warmed up, it did not leak at all, which...

    Possible Head Gasket Leak?

    I'm not sure why the previous owner had the heads machined - I'm trying to get a hold of him and find that out now. In the mean time, I'll perform the tests suggested here and report back with the results when I'm finished. EDIT: The previous owner said there was a coolant leak that resulted...

    Possible Head Gasket Leak?

    Hey everyone, asking for some help again here - with all the experience here, I figure someone will be able to point me in the right direction on this. I'm more of an electronics guy with DIY projects, so engines are well outside of my area of expertise. This past Monday (8/31) after driving...

    Short Squeak/Rattle Noise from 1997 NSX After Moving from First Start of the Day

    Ah that makes sense. I haven't activated ABS since I've had it, so I'll make sure to find a safe place to do that once in a while. Thanks for the quick response!

    Short Squeak/Rattle Noise from 1997 NSX After Moving from First Start of the Day

    Hi, I'm new to the forums, and I just bought a Prime member's 1997 NSX about 2 months ago. The car has been great so far, but one thing I noticed is a squeaking/rattling noise a few seconds after I pull away when the car has been parked for a while - it happens every time for the first start of...

    Where to search for entry level chemical engineering jobs (other than the usual)

    If he hasn't looked there already, Dow Chemical is based in Midland, MI - might be worth a look since it's not too far from Michigan State.

    1997 NSX-T Silver/Black 6-Speed 134,014 JH4NA2162VT000300

    Hi, I'm new on the forums, but I am interested in this car. I have financing in place, but I'm located in MI, so I'm not sure how long it will be before I can make my way there to check out the car. If it is still available when I'm able to travel, I'll make the trip down.
