    time for a high mileage update

    Bought my '01 NSX in August 2005 with 22k miles. After 8 years of commuting 25K/year I just rolled over 212,000 miles. All stock, except for 1" larger diameter wheels on front & back, and all maintenance conducted per Honda's schedule. Only serious issue to date was a failed fuel pump about 2...

    Looking for a better tire

    I drive 25K miles/year in my '01 NSX. Loved the handling with the stock Bridgestones RE-010 but was going through a set every 6 to 7 months. I have now been through 4 sets of Dunlop Direzzas. They do last longer, but the drop off in handling and especially turn-in response is significant...

    '01 wheel help, bent rear wheel

    I drive an '01 targa. I get to drive it about 500 miles a week commuting from Santa Cruz into silicon valley for work. It's been well maintained and runs just like a Honda should (over 120K miles in the last 5 years). After hearing a strange noise from the driver rear wheel I checked it out...

    Warranty coverage for clear coat failure?

    I was hoping to get some feedback from other NSXers before I spoke with any dealers. I bought a used 2001 NSX from Concord Acura last summer. The full warranty coverage ends in June 2006. When I was washing the car last week I noticed a 2" x 3" section of clear coat has chipped away in front...

    I need counseling

    Life is short. Drive your car in the rain. It only gets dirty and you can test the limits of the TCS. I put 600 miles a week on my NSX commuting from Santa Cruz to San Carlos. The more I drive the NSX the more I smile. The only down side is that my local Bridgestone dealer has a dedicated...

    '01 Glovebox Light to LED

    I don't have an updated manual for the '01 models' electrics. I have already replaced most of the incandescent bulbs in the car with LEDs. Using the '91 pdf manual I was able to find the instructions for all the bulbs. However with the SRS addition after '91 model the glovebox layout and...

    White powder around air intake??

    New answer to a very old question: The white stuff is called "bloom", its a processing agent in the rubber that migrates to the surface over time.

    New Owner in Santa Cruz

    Thanks for the references, I'm going to call a few of the transparent bra folks to get quotes. I also went through a lot of the service recommendations on the site since I want to have a few things checked while the car is still under warranty. I haven't had a chance to go for a real joy ride...

    New Owner in Santa Cruz

    I picked up a 2001 with 22K miles this week. I will probably be putting that many miles on it every year from now on! Thanks to all the NSXPrime members for the great content and marketplace. It was the ultimate resource for doing the research and finding the car I wanted. I do have one...
