Still have the NSX OEM wheels for sale?

...time flies when you grow old :-)

Kye, Hirofumi, I'm interested - put me down +1. Telly

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. My first OEM battery lasted about 7-8 years. Very reliable but I like sealed batteries just for the extra safety in case there's a leak. The Optima Red Top seemed popular and a good choice a couple years back. BigD - Good thinking on trading the battery...

My Optima Red Top battery recently died. It's still under warranty so I went back to Sears today for a warranty replacement. Unfortunately, Sears no longer carry Optimas. They said they could give me an exchange for a Sears Die Hard Platinum battery. Has anyone had any experience (good or...

I've had them on my NSX for almost 10 yrs now. Still love the wheels. http://northwest.nsxca.org/clubcars/telly/telly1.jpg

That is just plain ugly :eek:

That was the kind of person Dan was. Truly a car enthusiast that didn't blink an eye to go out of his way to help another fellow car enthusiast. Dan's family has planned a "celebration / memorial" for Dan in 2 weeks. Here are the details from the family website...

Ah, those were the good 'ole days. That day was classic. I went out in the last session in Andrie's car and beat his time. Came in halfway thru the session to rub it in, only to have Andrie jump back in his car and go out with only a few minutes left to pull off a faster time. The days of...

I would be interested in the transport option...$500 one way or roundtrip.

Ted - we were told it will be televised on SPEED TV sometime in mid-Sept.

I was one of Andrie's crew members this weekend (race spotter and BBQ chef :smile: ). Had it not been for a spin on lap 16, he would have made the top 20. Officially, he finished 23rd but was down on hp all weekend. Final results are here...

I'm getting ready to install an Optima battery in my NSX tomorrow. I notice that some people put the battery inside the factory battery box before clamping it down, while others skip the battery box and just mount the battery direct with the factory bracket clamp. Is one method better than...

Andrie is right, you will need to spend $18k-$25k on a SM to run upfront. By upfront, I mean a top 3 finish. Most of the front runners have a built engine as Andrie mentioned. However, you can build a competitive top-10 Spec Miata for $10k-$15k. I built my SM out of my street Miata, and...
