Here you go. No accidents. That's not a bump, technically, it's a dent. It's about the size of the palm of your hand, and shallow. It was there when I got the car 4 years ago and was going to be fixed when I got the car repainted, which hasn't happened yet. I don't have any pictures of the...

Hate to, but the time has come to let her go. I'm selling my 1991 American Acura NSX. Asking $24,000 or 19,500 Euro. The car is located in Heideberg, Germany. 160k miles. Not within snap ring failure range. VIN: JH4NA1156MT001823. Mods/Info: Dali dual-cannister SS exhaust Northwest...

UK NSXs I'm a very happy and proud owner of a US-spec 1991 Honda (Acura) NSX. I'm with the U.S. services in Germany for another year and am considering selling the car. Could you enlighten me as to what the market is like there in the UK? The car is clean, but not perfect. It has the...

Mystican... I've heard (but haven't yet tried) that WD-40 works. As an aside, I was driving from Nice to Heidelberg last year, and around Genoa stopped for gas. The windshield was black with gnats and bugs. The guy grabbed a spray bottle of liquid spray soap based on what they call...

Whealy, ok, have to ask: what kind of antenna set up is that? Is it amplified? Don in Heidelberg

Yeah, I don't think it would present any problems... just relax the stiffness on those clips, and grind in a mild detent on the rods to keep them stopped once you slide them, a light lube and you're set. I just took my clips out altogether, but keep the headrests down all the way because I...

I beg to differ, although MiamieNSX is pretty much right unless you want to get inside the seat and release those pesky clips that hold it in. 1. Remove the seat. 2. Unclip the rear backrest cover clip from the seat frame. 3. CAREFULLY reach up and in until you can find the spring steel...

155k miles on my '91. It's not a daily driver, but almost. Lots of long trips and excursions... I own the car of my dreams to drive it, not let it collect dust! :biggrin: Don in Heidelberg

David, I used to have that problem with the A/C... Problem most likely (unless you're driving it in a FL rainstorm all the time) is that the drain tube underneath is clogged. If you can put the car on the lift there's a rubber tube that exits the bottom of the firewall, underneat where the A/C...

Ojas, thanks for the link and tips, I'll give it a shot. I think you're right, that's a bit different as I've always liked to see at least the edge of the car in the rear view (I think for me that's sort of gives me a point of reference to where the other car is and how close it is to mine)...

Erick, no, it was one I bought from a guy who does business on Ebay. Good and honest prices, new wiring harness, all installation hardware included for about half of what the new ones go for. I'm not sure which vehicle it came from but it looked brand new and he modded it for me. It has...

Yawwn, the mirror I installed also has auto-dimming, which works VERY well. Got the mirror for about $80 (I can find you the guy's name and address, I think) and he even switched out the display color from green to dark orange for me to match the NSX's stock color. You run the wires for the...

Ah, gotcha... Can't use that! I've got a somewhat larger (I think GM) mirror with temp and directional display in it, and I don't want to cover that up. And, I'll admit I was hoping to increase the coolness factor along the way with rear view mirrors that extended out and up a bit further...

I've long toyed with the idea of creating some kind of extension for the rear view mirrors. Maybe it's my height (5'7") or the geometry of how I sit in the car, but I've always had a fairly wide blind spot in both mirrors. If I adjust it inward, the rear view consists of about 60% of the...

Ken, I've been in to do mine when I greased the tracks. It's in the maintenance manual and is not terribly complicated, but it does require a LOT of patience and the margin for error is wide. Unless you have a lot of wind noise, you might want to really think about it. Mine are still noisy...
