    Recommended valve cover gaskets?

    Mahle or Felpro are available for cheap through Rock Auto. They include the valve cover and spark plugs, but don't appear to include 12351-PR7-A00 or 12352-PR7-A00 (which appears to be for the portion of the valve cover that extends to cover the cam gears, which obviously won't have oil...

    Glass hatch gas strut removal

    Thanks for the suggestions. I bought a 12 mm flare wrench, but it was too bulky to fit around the ball. In the end leaving it for the day to soak in Aerokroil while I went to work was the magic ticket. The balls came right out and I'm rocking the new struts! Small things coming together for...

    Glass hatch gas strut removal

    My engine glass gas struts are weak, made worse by the cold weather (hopefully on the way). I've got some SOS replacements, but I'm having trouble removing the OE struts. I planned on just removing the lower bracket and then upper ball, leaving the OE struts and upper and lower attachments all...

    As-new SOS Endura Lite Exhaust

    I don't think $700 off for basically brand-new is fair, thanks.

    As-new SOS Endura Lite Exhaust

    I can ship it at your expense. No sound clips. TBH I've found them nearly useless for all the cars I have (and I've put an exhaust on 3 of them after scouring YouTube for sound clips). FWIW the Endura Lite is often billed as "adult," or pretty mild. I just think when paired with headers it's...

    As-new SOS Endura Lite Exhaust

    I installed this Endura Lite exhaust on my NSX last Fall (car was put back in service at the beginning of this year after major refresh). I paired it with Pride exhaust headers and HFC's. I found the whole set-up to sound awesome, especially for a quick backroad rip, but to be a bit aggressive...

    Almost New Owner...low mileage car, long drive home. Need advice

    Last Fall I drove an 83K-mile '91 from the Twin Cities to NC (1,200 miles) and made it fine. Things that were less than ideal: -The speedometer is inaccurate and needs a rebuild (leaking capacitors). I wondered why I was overtaking people at such a large delta despite an indicated +9 mph over...

    What's your daily driver?

    Don't forget maintenance and insurance! I actually have 8 cars I'm responsible for (too many), two with teenage drivesr. Of those 8, literally 3 have maintenance needs right now that make them undriveable, and a 4th (my NSX) has some small issues that leave it wounded but operational. What a...

    What's your daily driver?

    It's easier to take a photo of my little 1:18 collection than the real thing LOL. Besides the NSX, any of these other cars serves as a DD, and all offer up something different (including different engine configs).
