    Need tire advice

    Thanks for all the advice guys! I appreciate it. I think for now I'll stick with OEM until my fronts wear down, then I may change to a different tire. Thanks again! Ryan

    Need tire advice

    I talked to a guy from TireRack today and asked him which tires he thought I should replace my OEMs with (something with more life than the OEMs). The back OEMs on my '03 are pretty much bald after only 5000 miles... and I don't even ball that much... actually hardly at all. He says that no...

    What has owning a nsx done for you ?

    Owning an NSX has made my penis longer. My wife loves it :D Seriously, it has fulfilled a dream of mine and made me very happy. I still can't believe it (even after nearly a year of ownership) that I am getting into an NSX everyday. Pimp juice, baby! RR

    question about dash lighting

    So, for '02 - '04 owners with the new body style, are there any gauges we can use to change the color to reversed: black on white background? I think I read that there were some subtle changes to the cluster as to prevent being able to use older aftermarket gauges. Is this true? Thanks, RR

    '02 side strakes easy install for older model?

    OH YES! I had this problem and started a thread about it some time ago. The '02/'03 design completely changed the side skirt. Therefore, any prior NSX design ('01 on down to '91) cannot accept the new side skirts. The picture attached of the yellow NSX illustrates perfectly why, and it was...

    Look at the Sh%t storm I started with the BMW folks

    Ah, don't worry about it. BMWs are nice cars, but my experience with any German made car (be it a Bimer, Audi, Benz, Porsche, whatever) is that they tend to spend more time in the shop for stupid little things that should never have gone wrong in the first place. Japanese cars are about the...

    how to save yourself some $$$ when replacing your clutch

    I have another question for you clutch gurus. How do you handle standstill traffic? In that situation, where you cannot always let out the clutch fully as you inch along, you pretty much have to ride the clutch, right? Especially if you are just moving a few more feet ahead and then have to...

    how to save yourself some $$$ when replacing your clutch

    I have become more aware of the clutch thing as of late, and I have only had my car for about 4 months now and i bought it brand new. So I am very interested in starting now to conciously preserve my clutch and reduce wear. My main question is on take off. When the car and clutch are cold, I...

    2 questions for targa owners

    Since I have had nothing but convertibles for the past 4 years, getting my NSX with the targa option was essential. I am addicted to top down driving. I ride with the top off as often as I possibly can. Even when it is too hot to do it, I will often pull it off. When I get my third beater...

    Wings West fiasco, need advice

    If WW does not take these thing back, I will definitely sell them to you. I saw them and the paint job they did was beautiful. They do excellent work and put in all the flex additives in the primers, paint and clear. Plus, all their parts are urethene, which is good. (you probably already...

    Wings West fiasco, need advice

    Well, if I do ever get some skirts that work with my '03, the passenger side OEM skirt is scratched to sh1t. I don't think it is beyond repair, but the scratches are pretty deep. Probably not something you'd want to pay for. I might check into getting that one fixed when I do get some new...

    Well, I am now looking for an alternative to replace my skirts. What can you guys do for me? Which skirts do you sell that will fit '02+ models? Thanks Chris, Ryan

    Wings West fiasco, need advice

    Well, the design actually did change quite a bit from 2001 to 2002+. My FTP and server are jacked right now, but I can show you via websites what the difference is. A pre 2002 model: NSX Prime gallery pic of Leonard's '95 NSX A '02 model, which is identical to the '03s: 2002 NSX review...
