    Barn find NSX salvage title, advice please!

    It's all been covered by others about hidden damage, required maintenance and your ability to do the work yourself. Times must have changed. In the past, folks would have been much more concerned with the "washed" title.

    New owner, mechanical problems!

    Sorry, just reread thread and saw Portland. I do seem to remember something about the high idle issue also. I'll see if is comes back to me.

    New owner, mechanical problems!

    We probably need some more detail about your location, so we can understand what smog issues you're dealing with. I doubt you will be able to pass with any sort of cam. When I lived in CA, I could barely pass with just a set of headers and many times it took several tries. Mine is an earlier...

    The Official 2017 F1 thread

    Reminds me of when I went a few years ago. I did the paddock club thing and we got some pit walks. Race day morning, everyone is down at Ferrari, you couldn't get close enough to see anything. I just strolled down past all the other team garages. I was the only person in front of Williams, no...

    What car would you buy from the year you were born?

    My first thought was what a dismal time for cars, but I looked around online and found several I'd like to have. I've had Triumphs for at least 40 yrs and have 3 Tr4a's now, so I guess it would be a TR2 from '54. Altho, I'd like to have one of the big Healy's from that era.

    NSXPO 2015: Palm Springs, CA - October 8-11 - www.NSXPO2015.com

    I managed to sign up, but it's somewhat confusing. I found if you don't use all Caps for the discount code, it won't let you check out.

    Any primers utilizing the ACA (Obama care)

    I had one of the "Cadillac plans" (medical,dental,and vision)under the HCTC. This was due to airline bankruptcy and pension loss. My cost was about $700/mth for the family. The HCTC wasn't renewed after ACA came out. So time to find new coverage. Since I'm retired and have little "income" when...

    "Road & Track" arrives with "Car & Driver" special offer wrapping the issue!

    I got that too. I used to get C&D, but let it lapse a number of years ago. For $8 I may get it again. That's cheap enough to leaf thru it and dump it in the recycle bin.

    The Official 2013 F1 Thread...

    I flew jets for 25 years, so my hearing isn't the greatest anymore. However, at last year's race, even with earplugs I could feel my eardrums vibrate. It was pretty amazing how loud and piercing the noise is from these engines.

    What "grinds your gears" WRT inaccurate automotive terminology?

    I prefer to use motor and engine as you do. However, from some quick research, motor is a more all encompassing term with engine being a sub-category of motor. It may just be a more modern use of the words or a meaning that has changed over time. My grandfather opened his car dealership...
