    Early Turn Signal Cancellation - Its Unfixable!

    Turn Signal Cancellation fix update. Great news! There are many part# 35285-SL0-A01 for sale on eBay. I recently developed turn signal cancellation issues, too. It became obvious when I turned the steering wheel and heard mechanical clicking from the top of the steering column. Switch circuit...

    Dreaded clutch switch

    Not a "5 minute fix". I've done quite a bit of work on my '91 NSX and don't remember a job as difficult (or frustrating) as this fix. Initially, I thought I could remove the driver seat and get "easy" access. No way. After an hour of trying (and multiple shimmy ins and shimmy outs to get...

    Airline/Military Pilots and Hiring

    I'm retired AD AF (F-16Cs) and AFRC (A/T-38B/C). Was a TR for 1 year and an AGR in AETC for 11 more. Several of our airline TRs continued their military service with no deployment requirements and the option to massage their airline schedule (trip drop) for mil duty. Only 7 days/month...

    Should I buy an NSX?

    No judgement here from me. I totally recommend getting one, but do your homework. I'm impressed you looked/asked on Prime as research. I love mine. It's been a fantastic hobby. Mine was 235,000 miles old when I got her. Paid $14,000 back in 2012. She was cared for, but just barely. I've...

    Should I buy an NSX?

    The answer is absolutely YES if someone else is paying for it. If you're paying...get one...eventually. You have to be at the right place at the right time in your life, and find the right NSX at the right price. Still too many variables in your 18-year-old life. Get your schooling done...

    Engine hesitation in 2nd, 3rd gears etc below 3000rpm

    I had a similar situation with recently "cleaned" fuel injectors. Spent many $ and much time to eventually change out the fuel injectors with new. Problem solved. You can read many similar threads if you search for "hesitation".

    To perforate or not to perforate?

    Go perforated. You're sitting on them, not staring at them.

    Jeremy Clarkson NSX Review

    Com' on man...that article is classic Clarkson. My daughter gifted me his book, "The World According to Clarkson", for my birthday. Some of his rantings are hard to read. He doesn't much care for America, Americans or what Americans do...who cares. I've put that book down many times and...

    New NSX is not selling? it's overpriced?

    I saw my first gen 2 NSX earlier this week at a dealership in DFW. Black/black. Carbon fiber throughout. $199,000 sticker. Sales manager's third so far. Well....maybe it was the black/black combo. Maybe it's the ridiculous cost for options that took it to $199K. Maybe it's no drive it...

    temporary loss of power during acceleration :(

    Install new fuel injectors. I had the same symptoms with new fuel pump/regulator/resistor and used (but cleaned) fuel injectors. New injectors fixed the hesitation. Expensive, but worth it.

    Engine- need advice

    Rebuild it! I recently refreshed my '91 C30A at the 230,000 miles mark. I wanted to change the TB/WP, learn more about the mechanicals and ultimately gain an appreciation for the engineering of this motor. Upon teardown, you could still see the original hone marks in the bores so I didn't...

    "Solved" my engine sputtering/hesitation problem

    I had the same issue. Fixed with new injectors/spark plugs.

    2016 mdx

    The Pilot's interior is not on the same level of refinement as the MDX's. That said, my 2014 MDX had transmission issues starting around 40K miles. Reluctantly, the NNW Fort Worth dealership replaced the torque converter under warranty. I had to get Acura Client Relations involved and the...
