    I heard it works half the time or something like that. Funny, I thought there was something with the tweeter housing when I drove the car home first day. Mine was fixed completely with this. Agree with Dr Manny's post too and its another reason I sort of steer away from extended warranties. As...

    These cars seem pretty solid. I generally dont buy warranties but recognize there are some that have significant value (McLaren). I didnt seen anything pop up initially for this, but are there any common gremlins? I had the squeak from the window/A-pillar but that was ameliorated with the...

    I didnt know they dumped the GT3. They have (or had?) a GT4 as well. I guess that was too many Porsches. They havent been big Ferrari guys. I think they must be on a special customer list for McLaren though. They have that speedtail that Demuro reviewed. My favorites in the collection are...

    Yeah I know of them. In 2020, I went on a small rally through hills in southern Ohio and they were on that (I have some great GoPro footage of it). Porsche 918, McLaren Senna, and a P1 that day. The Senna is a monster. My son got to sit in their Chiron in another event they did with Esoteric...

    I guess I didnt go to the right dealer or have the right friends, so my type S order didnt go anywhere. I was lucky to find a "conventional" second gen that fit our criteria. Either Valencia red or indy yellow were the preferences and I didnt want any red anywhere in the cabin or on calipers...

    New Owner 2017 Valencia Red Pearl

    I had to laugh: I just bought an NSX after having my type S order fall through, so now im officially part of the club too (separate post coming). Valencia red would have been my choice on the type S (I went with Indy Yellow). That color made my wife fall in love with the car the first time she...

    How often do you wash the car?

    Why and what data is there to support this practice? I can see no measurable benefit having tried just this.

    How often do you wash the car?

    If you have new, high quality PPF with good hydrophobic properties I would not add ceramic coat over that. Just maybe consider replacing it when it gets ratty and worn out. I went over my GT350 PPF (which is very new and high quality) with 2-3 layers of ceramic coat and it seemed pointless in...

    How often do you wash the car?

    Have you been to/followed/shopped from Esoteric Car Care (New Albany) seeing that you are in Ohio? I have and now it takes me at least 3 hours presoaking, power washing, adding wheel cleaning agents, and finally giving a light scrub (2 bucket method). I dry with a blower to limit the amount of...

    How often do you wash the car?

    I went with PPF on the front on my cars with ceramic coating over all of it. I even ceramic coated our truck and minivan. It seems to keep things cleaner longer and makes the cleaning process easier. I probably wash the regular driving cars once a month, going touchless as much as possible. You...

    Type-S Announced

    Same. The front end seems out of place on the rest of an otherwise conservative style "bubble car" as I call all mid size SUVs. I dont like the whole "sporty SUV" thing. Our local track wont even let you race these. My reaction to this is similar to the one I have seeing spoilers on pickup...

    Which color to order the new 2022 Type S NSX?

    Found this video on the NSX paint that seems very informative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRhCyFETdV0

    Which color to order the new 2022 Type S NSX?

    I agree on no red calipers. Red on blue combos dont look right in my opinion. Yellow works well in that contrast. With it being a coupe, the interior doesnt mean as much to me. If this was a spider, I would struggle more: love tan on blue. I went with Valencia Red (cant do more blue in the...

    Type S (Upgrades only add up to 600 HP?)

    Type S (Upgrades only add up to 600 HP?)

    That's interesting. I actually met a (Id call him "young") test driver for Acura that drives a 911 GT3. He had tried on a track multiple other manufacturer cars during Acura/Honda's initial development of the NSX. He seemed to think that his Porsche was better way to go than the NSX, as in...
