    Looking for advice on a slow motion garage sale

    Sorry, this is much slower motion than I had expected. Time is in short supply until I retire, whenever that is. Right now I'm booked until March, when I hope to be able to catalog exactly what I have. That takes a lot of time, not even counting packing and shipping and dealing with the crazy...

    Looking for advice on a slow motion garage sale

    I will be selling some of my extensive collection of Gen1 NSX memorabilia and hardware starting this year. I'm using the car but not the collectibles. At this point it seems wasteful to keep them, although I bet they are a good inflation hedge. I'm not in a rush to sell, but neither do I want...

    Is your NSX failing smog? Read this.

    My 1991 NSX with 58k miles failed smog on NOx at 25 mph in third gear. All other numbers were passing, especially HC and CO. I'm convinced that third gear, reducing rpm to 1800 at 25 mph, was the problem. I'm pretty sure 1800 rpm was not sufficient for the EGR to open. Also the cats were not...

    My Summer 2018 Tour de California

    For about the 20th time I spent a couple summer weekends driving back roads in California. I have refined my route and now make only slight variations from what I know to be the most scenic and enjoyable roads. This year I asked a few NSX club members if they were interested in driving with me...

    Anyone else getting some error message trying to register for the event?

    I finally got through all 5 or 6 pages necessary to register (plus companion) after many timeouts and reloads. Paypal took a long time to load, then the return to nsxca failed, but I did get an order confirmation email. Order number 8224 at 11:24 AM Pacific time. The order numbers MIGHT help us...

    Recommendations for Rock Star in Windshield?

    Actually it was Smash Mouth. AAA agreed to buy me an OEM windshield. Maybe it was based on liking my business, but officially it was the fact that there is only one non-OEM supplier and the local NSXpert Don Lam had told me that the non-OEM windshields often don't fit right in the corners. That...

    Recommendations for Rock Star in Windshield?

    Thank you, imflipside. My dealer says all the parts are available. I'm going to try for OEM glass. The crack is actually a little more than 2 inches tall. I expect the insurance company to cooperate after some discussion. I can't figure out how the top two pieces (fastener and molding) fit...

    Recommendations for Rock Star in Windshield?

    A semi truck threw a big rock into the center of my windshield last weekend. It left a star about 1.5 inches in diameter, below my line of sight to the road but maybe in the line of sight for a short driver. I have read that OEM glass may no longer be available, and I'm uncertain whether the...

    To Friends of Al Terpak (handle ATERPAK)

    What a shock. Al always looked like the picture of perfect health. If only our bodies were as reliable and durable as the NSX. To one of my favorite NSXers, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

    My CA north coast jaunt last weekend

    With my wife in Florida visiting her girlfriends of 30+ years' standing, I decided to treat myself to a one-day drive in the NSX. I got up at 4:30 AM to perfect spring weather and was on the road by 5:30. It was past dawn when I left the freeway near Healdsburg. Skagg Springs Road was...

    Drive spectacular California back roads with Hirofumi

    PM sent. Sunday is a bit of a gamble with the weather. Highway 1 is usually overcast in the morning, but only rarely is it foggy at road level. Unless there is actual fog, this will be a really fun drive.
