Doing some of my own research on the matter, it seems the most important bit is that the ratio between rear and front needs to be within 5% of the stock tire ratio. On the stock 91 tires, 225/50/16 & 205/50/15, ratio = 24.9/23.1 = 1.078, so I need something between 1.028 and 1.128. Stock 96...

It seems like every tire thread is about summer tires. Well, I want all seasons so that I can drive the car in the colder months. I figured I'd start with the tire first and then work backwards to what wheels might work with the tires. Keep in mind my NSX is a 91. On the 96 wheels there...

Yeah, the problem I'm having is with all-seasons. There just aren't any all-seasons for the OEM tire sizes. It doesn't make much sense to me, as I'm sure plenty of people drive these cars under 50F.

These look awesome especially with that Honda badge.

I'm in Raleigh, NC and have a set of OEM 16/17 96 wheels. They were refinished with a shiner chrome finish. They would come as a set, I can't do just the rears.

A bunch of tires options to choose from, really? I looked for tires for the OEM 15/16 wheel set and all that came up were a couple of summer and racing/autocross tires.

Follow-up question: Aside from the various electrical cables, covers, are these bolts the main things I need to remove to take out & replace the alternator?

Wow, I actually understand this. Thanks!

On these diagrams, where would I find the tensioner to loosen the alternator belt? If I have to ask this question, is that a sign that I might be in over my head?

Oscopes, now we're talking my language. What should I measure with the oscope?

I've been thinking about this some and the thing I wonder is, even if I do rebuild the alternator, it seems to me the replacement parts for it would also be less than OEM quality. So I see your point about keeping the original alternator, it just seems to me that no matter what, it's never...

Mine whines above 3k RPM. Was yours a constant whine?

If your criteria is a fun sports car, the S2000 is probably one of the top choices. The NSX isn't just any old fun sports car - it's special, it's an engineering masterpiece, it's rare, it's exotic, it's a dream car. It's overqualified for the fun sports car criteria.

What is the big metal triangular tube thing sitting on top of the engine called?
