    How many miles does your OEM clutch last before replacement?

    There was a non-scientific poll on this question a few months ago. A few were replaced by 30,000 miles and others lasted over 100,000 miles. As I recall that the mean was 40 to 60,000 miles. Obviously, it depends on how much abuse the clutch receives. Careful, smooth drivers seem to do quite...

    I suddenly feel tired of NSX ownership! Help!

    All too well :redface: It took me 2 years to sell my J-24 sloop which I had on Lake Norman near Charlotte. I admit to being hesitant :wink:

    Best year for track use?

    Not hardly! I have lost interest in the track, it seems. My thing was to bring my cars to the track on sport street tires; run her that way on the track; then drive home. I had driven as well/fast as I could like that. Frankly, I started too late about age 50 but still did track events off and...

    Best year for track use?

    I think that most early NSX owners would agree that you will not miss power steering except maybe when parallel parking which I never did -very tight spaces in other words. Once you are moving 5 MPH, the lack of power steering in the light weight NSX is an advantage because of the very direct...

    Best year for track use?

    Sorry, you are correct about prefering nonpower steering - but power came in 1995. The 16 and 17 inch wheels introduced in 1994 are much better stock wheel sizes for grip. But if you are going to change the wheels then a 1992 or 1993 is fine.

    Racing Brake update!

    Try ERZ Motors. They have used parts from high end cars. I bought my 97+ rear calipers with brackets from them ($325 including shipping for both). Very good reputation. NSXTASY agrees. They sell used rotors too ~ $100 for 2. Email Joe Toth at: [email protected]

    I suddenly feel tired of NSX ownership! Help!

    Well, I had similar feelings recently and sold mine yesterday after enjoying her for 3 1/2 years. Having driven DE's on and off for 15 years, I got tired/bored with going around in circles. I have learned a lot, met a lot of interesting / helpful people who loved cars, and driven as well as I...
