    Looking refresh my 92 Suspension.

    My 1991 is running KW V3's with Advan RS 17/18. I lowered the car by 20mm and have had no issues.

    1991 NSX Road-Rage Generator

    Apparently the previous owner of my rescued NSX (he did his best to destroy it...I've done my best to restore/make it better) installed a Road-Rage Generator in the rear bumper. Every single time that I drive my NSX (with Antique plates btw), just trying to get from Point A to Point...

    Gas Station Near Miss!

    So... I'd almost completed filling up my 91 NSX at a local gas station, and I'm watching the numbers spin at the pump. I'd pulled up to the second of two pumps at the island, so there is a free pump behind me. As I'm daydreaming...I hear the sound of a car's radiator fan getting closer and...

    NSX is a Honda

    I rescued my 91 NSX from a used car lot over 10 years ago. Whoever owned it before me (not the original owner) did not do any favors to my car...at all. I have now spent more money restoring and improving the car than I originally spent to purchase it...and I have not regretted one cent spent...

    1991 NSX Final Emissions Test

    Amen to the above comments. I've got a bunch of emissions delete stuff on order for SoS, but it is going to take a bit to get everything. When it arrives, I'm going to take my NSX to PTuning in Manassas and have them do before and after dyno runs. I'll post the results in case this might help...

    1991 NSX Final Emissions Test

    So...for two years I have been dreading this day...the day I would take my 1991 NSX in for its final emissions test in Virginia. Two years ago, it took three pulls (the max allowed) for it to pass...barely. I'm running larger injectors, a BBTB, headers and pipe, AEM Series 2, but no major...

    For those of you who have ducted hoods...

    Have the VIS Racing CF hood. I had a body shop expert fit it and paint it (left the CF exposed around the duct, painted the rest red to match the body of the car). It fit very well but needed a minute bit of sanding at the extreme right where the hood "point" comes close to the windshield...

    Where did you find your NSX?

    I was waking in Annapolis, crossed a bridge near the harbor, and found my NSX, unloved and languishing, on a used car lot. It was love at first sight...will all the issues that can entail thereafter. But...I have never regretted my decision for a single second.

    CoverKing Car Cover

    Regarding covers versus wind when your NSX is parked outside... CoverCraft sells a "Gust Guard" for less than $20 (you may be able to find something similar for less money) that includes two sets of adjustable corded clips (for front and rear) that will keep your cover on unless a hurricane...

    Planning on building the ultimate NSXs - Resuka Design - Would anyone buy them?

    Consider offering a Stoptech or Performance Friction BBK option...just a thought. I do love Brembo's (have unobtanium ones mounted on my 998R), but I have been very impressed with Stoptech! Just my 2 cents worth...

    My worst day ever.

    Howard, I'm praying for both you and your family. May your wife rest in peace. I know very few people who are as fortunate as you regarding finding their soul mate...and getting to spend the best years of their life with them. Reflect on all those good times and cherished memories. They are...

    A Random Act of Kindness...

    Went to a local restaurant down by the water to have lunch yesterday. Sat at the sports bar section to watch a bit of college football. Four guys were sitting at the far end of the bar. The bartender approaches and says "Hey! Those guys are talking about your car..." as I had driven the NSX...

    ScienceofSpeed Exact Fit Rear Hatches - production run, get yours now!

    I have this hatch installed on my 91 NSX with the CF vent, and I utilized the original rail. I had a body shop do the install, and they had a glass guy come by and remove the OEM glass properly. The CF was clear coated as an added safeguard. SoS sends you or your installer everything that you...

    Whats the funniest thing anyone's said about your car?

    Was stopped at a red light, hot day, windows rolled down. Guy in an Eclipse pulls up next to me on the left. "Hey man...is that a Porsche?" I was speechless.
