    Spark Plug Wires.

    My idle is a little rough, and I was told by the Dealer that I may have a bad coil. Will the DanO step 6 "Ignition Coil Test" for resistance diagnose a bad coil, and if I find a bad one, is it okay to replace just one. By the way, great write up on spark plug replacement DanO. Thanks.

    New here.

    I'm a NSX owner in St. Louis and thought I'd give you my thoughts on buying one here. I spent a year looking locally. There aren't many that come up for sale here, maybe one every 2-3 months and then not necessarily the right year/condition/color/price. Since I was specific about what I...

    Seriously, how often do you redline?

    "Red line. every day, every Shift" ? I find it hard to red line more than 1st and 2nd without getting arrested.

    How old is your timing belt

    I have an original Tbelt in my 91 with 30,500 miles, but my comfort level is wearing a little thin. I will probably have it done this winter as this is definitely a situation for "better safe than sorry".

    Snap Oversteer

    I've autocrossed the car and not experienced this kind of instability, but then I did deactivate TCS and ABS when running it. Maybe TCS contributed to my problems, Although I give the driver 99.9% of the blame. SJS: I was feathering the throttle to control direction, but as the car was...

    Snap Oversteer

    Thanks for the advice. The main reason for the throttle induced oversteer was not wanting to lift in the middle of the corner. It is quite possible that while the traction control didn't activate during the throttle induced oversteer, it may have cut power and aggravated the situation as the car...

    Snap Oversteer

    I think I experienced the snap oversteer phenomena last night and am still analyzing trying to figure out what I did wrong. I was exiting a tight but increasing radius curve and had was starting to accelerate (about 30-40 mph) when I got some wheel spin (tcs did not engage). I corrected for...

    NSX vs. 993 again......(long)

    Good to see this thread is much more reasonable about the NSX vs the world debate. I spent years convinced I wanted a 911 (and then a 993) but when I was in the position to buy one, I drove the Porsche, drove the C5 and then got a chance to drive the NSX. for me, it wasn't even close. The other...

    What do you DISLIKE about your NSX's?

    Took me a while to think of one, but if your looking for nits to pick, the sun visors are totaly useless. Maybe because I'm 6'2", but if I fold them against the windsheild, their still to low and I can't see more that a few feet in front of me. Best I can do is to pull the visor down as needed...

    Stupidest comments ever heard by NSX owner

    I was enjoying everyones stories, though having only owned my 91 for 2 months had none of my own, then yesterday a guy at work came up and ask me if that was my car in the parking lot, nice car, is it fast, ect. Complementing me, talking like he knew cars, then as we got into a more technical...
