    WTB - strap that holds roof cover panel

    I was able to get one last year from https://www.acurapartsforless.com/oem-parts/acura-belt-assembly-roof-cover-hold-74910sl0t01 When I ordered it, they said it was backordered with no known date of re-stock, but I left the order status as open and then randomly a couple weeks later it...

    Bubbling paint on door handles and B pillar

    Here's another example of the same bubbling/rough paint issue on the handles and sash. This is on an 02 car (#163) which goes against my theory that this issue is on 03 cars only, however this car has a salvage title and was reportedly in a pretty serious accident so it's unclear if these...

    NSX Video findings

    I usually watch the Savage Geese live streams and during the past one they talked a lot about the NSX project (starts around 11:30 into the video). They recently went to Japan to film interviews with key people from the original NSX team who designed, engineered and built the car. If my memory...

    Bubbling paint on door handles and B pillar

    I've seen what you're referring to in terms of fading, but the issue with mine and the other 2003s I've seen is more of a rough feel to the paint, and it looks like a bunch of tiny little air bubbles and debris trapped in the paint. It's hard to describe unless you actually see/feel it. The...

    Bubbling paint on door handles and B pillar

    Since I first mentioned this issue, I have paid special attention to any 2003 cars that come up on Bring A Trailer and Cars and Bids. I have saved images and VINs on the cars where I can clearly see a similar issue on the door handles as my own and so far I've come up with 8 different cars...

    Lotus Emira

    Yea I hear you for sure. If I do end up ordering one, the primary objective is to drive and enjoy it. At this point in my life I'm not buying any cars solely for the investment purposes. Any appreciation over the time I own it would simply be a nice bonus.

    Lotus Emira

    Yes, from what I've gathered so far the sport option gives you a more track focused suspension setup and Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, whereas touring is "tuned for everyday road use" and comes with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports. Also looks like they'll have an Emira GT4 at some point too!

    Lotus Emira

    I hear you. The dealer that I've been speaking with said for sure that the people who ordered first have been waiting the longest. But he's been told by Lotus that production is supposed to ramp up pretty good in January and I could potentially have a car by summer/fall 2024. I assume that could...

    Lotus Emira

    No 2+2 option in the Emira, but that would be quite the laugh if you could!

    Lotus Emira

    I started casually looking for a 718 Cayman GT4 a few months ago, and I quickly realized that I wasn't going to be able to get a new one ever or find a used one that I was willing to pay way over MSRP for with a bunch of owners and miles. I didn't even have the Emira on my radar but after...
