My windshield washer nozzles haven't worked correctly since having the car repainted. Since they work fine when the hood is raised but just dribble when it's closed I'm assuming there is an issue with how the hose is routed by this hinge. Can anybody tell me what looks wrong here? Am the hose...

Hi Joe, I'm about to order the ABX70-H1 and ABX70-E1 combo. What was the issue with yours, and were you able to fix it?

Can somebody walk me through the math of torque increase of a type-r final drive and short gears vs. a SOS supercharger? I'm horrible at both math and physics, but it looks like going from a USDM to a type R gets you an increase of roughly 5% (4.062 vs 4.235) while the supercharger gets you an...

I'm having trouble understanding where the "to air" hose is that you're talking about. Do you mean the drain hose that runs from the HVAC unit to under the car? If so, make sure the liquid is actually coolant and not just water. It is normal for condensation to form around the evaporator core...

Works fine! You can bench test the Thermistor while it's out of the car to be sure it's within spec, but I don't think they go bad very often.

Kicking this back up. For the OEM pieces the trick that worked for me is that you have to "assemble" the A and B pillars while off the car, and then place them on the car as a single unit before tightening everything down. If you try to install one piece on the car, and then the other, you'll...

Check this thread-I bought the similar part for the CRV, kept the thermistor and swapped out the fan. Not difficult, saved about $100. https://www.nsxprime.com/threads/aspirator-fan-fix.162004/page-2#post-2045061

Thanks to both-look like the replacement ones in Legend's link are for all generations of 901. I'm going to give them a shot...still wondering how close the sound is to what everybody heard in 1991 though. EDIT: Just verifying-does this driver also work for the bass enclosure in the passenger...

Can you tell me more about this? Do you mean they are a physical fit plus the same resistance (1 ohm) or that they are identical in all ways including sound reproduction? It looks like the 901 home theater speakers were originally released in 1968. It seems odd that Bose would be using the same...

Agree with @drew that the days of modding are probably behind us. Reproduction of NLA parts (rear engine vent, driver's side front door sash) will probably be where the market is headed in the next few years.

The plastic tools are terrible for this! I used an old mainshaft the last time I had to do this job. I don't have any part numbers but I would want to take the time to replace all the rubber seals as well. So VC gaskets, vtech gaskets (and bolts!), cam seals. Go ahead and do the AC pully...

The NSX is (unfortunately) becoming a collector car. Part of that transition is Honda making the choice to discontinue certain parts, and it means that we must come to terms with not everything being available at the Acura parts counter. But the situation is still really good! The NSX is still...

Ah! Thanks Honcho, that's great information. Just ordered the appropriate kit and am looking forward to trying out my new JDM gears.

Thanks for the input-I'm going to go with Helicoil but am having trouble figuring out what length the insert should be. Helicoil has a chart that explains what length of insert to use, but it depends on knowing the sheer strength of the parent material and the tensile strength of the bolt. It...

I'm in the process of reinstalling the transmission after swapping in short gears. Last night I tried to torque the bolt that attaches the upper A arm to the rear subframe and the threads pulled out! The rear subframe is aluminum, the bolt is M10x1.25 and the torque value is 43 ft lbs. What is...
