Hey all, Sorry if this is a repost. Sadly this is only in Japanese and I don't see English subtitles for it, but this is a discussion/interview with Takuma Sato at this year's Tokyo Auto Salon from about three months ago. He talked in great detail about his work as one of the development...

The NA2 coupe doesn't have all the reinforcements of the targa, but it does have some of them. Digging back in my Google docs, I translated a Honda advertisement for the NA2 NSX Type S which contained copy written by Motoharu Kurosawa...

I was kind of disturbed by the vibrating trunk lid when they launched but I think maybe the latch or something needs adjustment.

Hmm, my Hagerty policy is 2186/year with $120K valuation. Leland West quotes $1614 at 3000 miles for me. Hmm maybe a switch is in order…. The policy details don’t look that different.

That factory Alcantara dash/interior is AMAZING.

I have it.

This brings back memories. This was the VERY FIRST Best Motoring episode I ever saw. There was no such thing as YouTube back then. I rented this on VHS at Mitsuwa Market on a whim in 1997. I also selected on that day the episode that introduced the Integra Type R. Changed my life! Regarding the...

Thanks Old Guy for the link to the service bulletin. I have to say it's still hard to tell what exactly the right choice is. I ordered M77 and Urea just to have my bases covered. Question on how to actually get the grease into the shifter--does the shifter need to come out of the car? Or can...

Hi guys, I'm bringing this thread back from the grave. I recently noticed my shifter is getting a bit stiff to move and I think I'm going to have to lubricate it. I was trying to figure out what kind of grease to use. Reading through the service manual there's only mention of silicone grease for...

I got my first Pfizer dose yesterday. I got dizziness, mild fatigue, and chills the first day. In fact I was dizzy within a few minutes of the shot. My arm started getting sore and today it feels like I’ve been punched a few times in the shoulder. It’s very hard to raise my hand higher than my...

My parents just got their second dose last weekend. My father had zero symptoms other than he said his shoulder hurt when he did push ups. Duh! He was stabbed with a needle. My mom on the other hand had every side effect. Aches, fever, injection site pain, etc. Both the first shot and second...

I actually translated the original Honda article. :biggrin: It was quite an eye opener at how my translation spread all over the net and an interesting look at how content is copy/pasted amongst blogs to "create" content. My only concern is I don't want Murray offended by my translation of a...

I saw one interview with a Japanese Honda engineer that best characterizes the auto rev match. (Paraphrased) “If you know how to heel and toe, do it even if you leave rev matching on. The system will support you.” I leave the system on all the time and just do my own heel and toe. I only ever...

The PS4S are not as aggressive in turn-in response and tread blocks feel more squirmy. Grip seems slightly down but I've only done street driving and I haven't pushed it on track. However the PS4S are much quieter and take the harshness off of broken pavement. So for street driving I really love...

That's so interesting. My CTR also had two punctures in the right front tire over the first 10K miles or so. Luckily I was close enough to home that I could return and take the tire to get it repaired. Even after repair, one or more of the tires seemed to leak, which caused the TPM to sound an...
