Are u on stock rims? I told my honda mechanic today about the 205 instead of 215 in the fronts and he seemed worried about seating the bead on the stock rims . I was feeling confident after the responses here and now he’s making me doubt my decision.

Thanks for the quick reply sir. I will order them!

Howdy all. Hope this finds everyone well. I'm replacing the racing tires that my 99 had on when I bought it. I have the OEM stock rims. 16 front 17 rear. I want buy the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 from tire rack.. but the fronts only come in Size: 205/45ZR16 87W XL and the...

Good luck! What year is yours? Hopefully you can get at the relay in the aft bulkhead instead of buried behind the passenger seat like my 99.

Can you link to the thread regarding "cracking the ECU for tuning"? Sounds intriguing. As for OP... I scored and installed a main relay for my 1999 ..direct from Acura dealership this year (even though they can be re-soldered). There are threads where the OG NSX owners list what you should...

A few of The White retaining pegs were separated from their metal attachments on the vinyl panel. But the white pegs themselves were intact I just had to slide them back into their housing. The biggest issue was just getting that B pillar interior passenger side panel out. Once I remove the...

OK !!!! I got everything done and It started up just fine.. hopefully it will repeatedly do that. If any intermittent fails in the future I will bump this thread and we can focus on the next step. i'm going to find that thread about re-soldering the old main relay and keep it. I've...

OK I got that interior side panel out.. there are three clips that are actually imbedded in the soft waterproof trim. I had to bend the trim back a good bit and get a screwdriver behind the clips and move them from behind the frame to the outside. Its gonna be a bitch to put that back in.. was...

Hey Larry . hope all is well with your post NSX mechanical retirement. I removed the three screws that hold that right interior panel in place but can't seem to remove it completely. there are some sort of clips holding it in? is there some sort of trick to remove it.. I'm trying to replace...

Ok so apparently the relay is not behind the firewall compartment on a 99. It seems I have to remove the side passenger panel as well? Damn Is there any resource or direction on how to take the storage pocket behind the passenger seat and “b-pillar trim” out? I don’t Want to force anything or...

Damn that's a big price difference (For the relay.) I got mine for $140 overnight at the Acura dealership. Ordered it yesterday and they had it for me within like 16 hours. I got scared for a minute because the Part number of mine is different than the one you posted ...but I think yours is...

Sound advise. No the CEL light did not come on ( as far as I remember) everything in the dash was working normally. Radio and fan worked. Is this the ignition switch of which you speak ( I know its not OEM)...

UPdate: car started this morning first try in low 60 degree weather..after not starting 20 times yesterday in 80 degrees. i hope its the solder joints in the main relay. Gonna fix it this afternoon.. will update. thanks again all. and again.. is it a good idea to disconnect the battery...

Wow thanks for that very detailed response. As far as I recall.. all of the other electrical stuff worked. I will run through your checklist in the morning before work. Very much appreciated! That goes for the rest of you as well… Also.. do I need to disconnect the battery prior to swapping...

Yea man, I called my local Acura dealer and they are getting a relay for me tomorrow. a bit over $100 but I can't complain seeing as I just called them today and they will have it tomorrow. Best I could do on eBay was 4-5 days and questionably OEM. I'm pretty sure my engine is totally flooded...
