I'm moving in the coming week and while digging through the garage found a spare 285/30/18 Bridgestone SO2. Light use, has about 75% tread left. If anyone is interested, I am happy to give it away free for *local pickup only*. I'm in SoCal -- Encino. Please PM asap as I don't plan to take...

Thanks Spyderman! The engine is based on the all-aluminum 3.0 liter Jaguar V6, but is a "built" version of that engine (forged internals, special cams, etc). The US Noble engines are actually built to a stronger spec than the Noble engines in the UK. >what does the interior look like? There...

Hi all, An unexpected financial situation has come up & I am forced to sell my recently purchased/registered Noble. This is the only street-legal / California smog exempt Noble in the world. As a CA-exempt car, the car never has to be smogged again, and just about anything can be done to it...

Hi, All the free parts have been spoken for. If anyone is interested in the TMC1 adjustable timing retard controller, please let me know. I'll sell it for whatever the highest offer I get is... I received a couple PM's regarding the free parts around the same time as the posts above.. I'm...

- Split Second TMC1 timing-retard computer for forced-induction cars. Adjustable timing-retard based on both boost & rpm. Throws an occasional check-engine light. $95 obo **Update**: All free parts below are now spoken for/no longer available, thanks. I am giving away the following...

Just had to make a quick post to say "awesome!". Never would have expected to see a message thread about hardwood floors on a car site, and with great info no less :). We're about to kick off shopping for hardwood floors, so all this info is good to have. We've been leaning heavily towards...

A quick general tip for everyone, when hearing or asking about boost built at a particular rpm: The info is near meaningless if you don't also ask what gear the car is in. You'll find that even larger, laggy turbos can put out decent boost at low RPM's if you run them in a higher gear (ie, on...

Hi All, Here's my feedback on the Spec Clutch- My application was a 97 Twin-Turbo. ("Was", since the car was recently sold. I guess I should post soon about what I got and how it compares to the NSX!) My application therefore was the single-disc version. I can't remember if it was a "Stage...

I'll definitely be there tonight! Seeya, Marc

Hi All, Just a reminder that the CalCoastal NSX meeting is tonight at the usual place (~7pm at El Torito in Santa Monica, near where the 405 and 10 freeways meet). John Richards (Anytime) wanted me to remind everyone that the March 6th Autocross results and trophies will be given out at the...

I've had a couple inquiries lately from people interested in buying the twin turbo kit. I'd like to hear opinions on if selling off the twin turbo kit would hurt my chances of selling the car. If my car was for sale with everything listed, but the twin turbo kit (including performance exhaust...

See ya'all there! And this time I'll be bringing my NSX TT to the parking lot :) Marc

Amazing 97 Twin-Turbo NSX-T for sale! Hi everyone, This may come as a surprise to a lot of people (and certainly a few months ago I wouldn't have believed I'd be doing this) but I've got to sell my NSX. The car is top-notch, with all the best modifications across all aspects of the car...

See ya'all there! Marc

Gerry -- Gerhardt's a good guy (I've always enjoyed talking to him) but sounds like bad advice to me for our application... I have the larger turbo's as well and would never run them at 12psi... That will easily overspin them. Maybe not so much at the lower revs and midrange, but with the NSX's...
