Turbo Tax 2002 states that "You may deduct a portion of your vehicle license or registration fee as an itemized deduction, if: (i) the fee is a percentage of the vehicle's value; (ii) the tax is imposed on an annual basis; and (iii) the fee is imposed on personal property. Do not include sales...

If you rinse with distilled water, is it even necessary to towel dry the car? If you simply let the car air dry, won't it dry spot free? Or is there still enough mineral residue in distilled water to leave spots if most of the water isn't removed through towel drying or some other method? I...

I recently installed a set of Tein RA's on my NSX. I've decided to switch out the upper pillow ball mounts that came with the Tein's and install the standard upper mounts for better ride quality. I've already done so on the front and am currently working on the rears. Question: Can you use...

The sound volume from my stock center speaker and subwoofer is very low compared to the door speakers. In fact, the subwoofer is only audible if the bass is turned all the way up. The center speaker sounds muted and appears to only have about 1/3 the output of the door speakers. Is this normal...

Thanks everyone for your responses. My '91 is completely stock with 15"/16" wheels and Yokohama tires. It has not been lowered. Looks like the problem will go away with a new set of tires & an alignment. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response. I'm pretty sure it's not a timing issue. In order to avoid a climb in rpms, I need to take my foot off the gas well before I push in the clutch. I can compensate for the throttle lag by driving that way, but it just doesn't feel natural. I guess I'll be lubing up...

How much kickback is normal from the manual steering on a '91? On very smooth roads, there is virtually no kickback from the steering wheel on my NSX. When driving at speed on back roads which aren't necessarily rough, but just not as smooth as a highway, there is a significant amount of...

Does this throttle lag also affect 1991's with throttle cables? When I shift normally (i.e. push in the clutch & let off the gas at the same time), the rpm's climb approximately 100 rpm and then drop. I assumed it was just a sticky throttle cable and was planning lubricate it with some WD-40...

I spoke with Todd at Discount Tire Direct today who indicated that Advan went out of business late last year and, as a result, I couldn't order a set of Advan Model 7's. Has anyone else run into this problem? Given the conversation in this thread, it appears that these rims are still available.

Thanks everyone for your responses. No, the car is not the red '91 that has been on eBay for some time. It's a stock black on black w/ 13K miles. I appreciate the heads up, though.

Is there anyone in the Birmingham, Alabama area that would be able to look at a 1991 NSX for me? I plan to have a local dealer perform a pre-purchase inspection as well, but I would really value the input of a true NSX owner/enthusiast on the condition of the car. Thanks.

I've located a pristine '95 NSX-T (red w/ black interior) with only 8K original miles for $52,500. Is this a good deal? Also, I've read that the '95-'96 models were not as rigid as the later Targas, supposedly due to the use of a stiffer aluminum alloy in certain body panels of the later...
