    automatic gearbox experts?

    I have almost same problem - actually identical to one posted by 'my_exotic_princess" owner in 2008. My trans works fine when started from cold. I get about 10 min of normal driving - then jumps to 2nd a few times (going back to normal driving in between) and then decides to stay in 2nd for...

    Has anyone taken measurments of the OEM Bose units that fit into the plastic boxes in the doors and footwell? I am thinking of a re-using the plastic enclosures and curious what the avail depth and hole diameters are for these spaces. Same question for the center speaker in the consol. Parts...

    speakers

    Re: speakers count and locations Not sure why - but shawn110975 is messing with you OR is just visiting from another planet. There are 4 very non-standard speakers. A powerered mono woofer in under the passenger foot plate, one (powered) in each door, and one mono unit in the console behind...

    Need help!! NSX expert

    This is a high mileage car that has been seriously modified, plus and engine swap. You need to talk on phone with all the previous owners to see what happened. If you don't have a lot of cash AND really like doing your own work - could be cheap fun. If you plan to take it to a dealer and...

    EPS Unit - gone???

    I too have a 95T with 80k kms and had the EPS act up. Since I have a lot of tools, the manual and a lot of years wrenching I decided to figure it out myself. Brian of ECU and EPS repairs fame also helped. The EPS story is essentially this....it is designed to be VERY paraniod on purpose...

    Need Front Wheel Bearing ASAP

    Delray Acura (Florida) only wants $184.31 US for it. I cannot tell you how fast you will get it - could take 10 too. Phone then and have sent FEDEX overnight if you really want it fast - assuming they have one in stock. They may have to get from USA or Japan distribution center. I have...

    Newbie looking for suggestions on rims

    After 35 years of modifying my cars and buying wheels/rims/tires that are different from OEM.....my 2 cents is this: Do NOT buy rims with a different OFFSET from OEM.....and be very very careful if you buy different diameter and width. You want to keep overall diameter the same (tires on...

    Power Steering intermittent - help

    My Electronic PS on a 95T is intermittent. Everything tests out fine per the shop manual and some days it works fine (after a reset). Other times as soon as the steering wheel is turned it locks out with Error Code 22. If I bend he wiring harness near the EPS and put pressure on the...

    Calibration mod for HVAC brain?

    I don't like the way the OEM ECU auto temp control works. If I set it one click above the coldest temp - it is almost always too warm in the car. When I set it to the blue mark (coldest) - it is usually too cold. I tried to "fool" the system by using the little slider switch on the top of...

    Custom Cruise Buttons for Momo Tuner

    Have you considered just using the OEM button cluster and modding it to mount to side of hub adapter? I did this on my other Acura when the MONO wheel went in and it looks great and has good button feel. I will post a pic later today to show you outcome. I am about to do same mod to 95 NSX...

    2009 Audi R8

    Re: 2009 Audi R8 slagging explanation OK - no offense intended to the R8 seller or his car. It is a really nice car and I like it a lot. I was just having a little fun.....and dealing with the general car mag syndrome of gushing over the R8 ...and never mentioning how close it is to an NSX...

    2009 Audi R8

    Re: 2009 Audi R8 - too easy to throw down.... Read all the tests, parked my 95T next to an R8 and....guess what: 1) they are same size almost exactly in every dimension 2) the roof on the R8 won't come off 3) R8 has no trunk unless you are stowing a loaf of bread 4) R8 is heavier 5) R8 can...

    NSX at Xmas = tinsel wheels & Blizzaks

    In case anyone else is silly enough to be curious about putting snow tires on an NSX - here is what I did: Bought some used OEMs in 16/17 size (my car is a 95T)....and the ones I found were full chrome.....kind of odd at first .....but after I had the "Tinsel on the Tree" image going.....OK...
