Truth. It’s hard but worth the effort to have a Cali NSX. Source: dude with a stock(ish) 91 that waited a year for new oem cats to get here from Japan. Magnaflow advertises a “CARB Compliant” cat, but I was skeptical and didn’t want to have to deal with welding new cats in every few years...

Thanks again everyone for the sound advice. HQ took great care of me, and it’s conveniently close to B-Man’s!

Thanks for the guidance!

Hi everyone, I just relocated to SoCal from the Bay and am looking for a good NSX mechanic in the Pasadena area. Willing to drive up to 45 mins or so for the right shop. Currently I just need to install new cats so I can pass smog; also need some work on my s2. Thanks in advance and hope to...

How’d the smog go? I’m having trouble passing, high NOx about 100 pts over the limit. I took the car in piping hot to a local shop but the tech didn’t know the car so took a while to set it up and I failed. May have to make the trek out to Hayward, I’m in Redwood City. Foreign Affair is my...

Hi there. Saw your post about the oem cats—did you buy them? Any chance your car was at Foreign Affair recently? I saw a red one when I dropped mine off a few weeks ago and they said it was also in for smog issues. I’m having trouble passing smog, high NOx about 100pts over the limit. Trying...

Thanks Bram. Emailed you.

Hi Bram, are these still available and if so, how many miles on them? Can anyone tell me the length of the oem cats from flange to flange? Thanks

emac hmmm...I may need to order some dental denture resin for my cracked defrost panel.

Thanks for all the info everyone. The photo I posted was one I grabbed off an old prime post; my part is black with no lock. I despaired when I saw the price for the locking lever, but happily the part for my 91 was much cheaper and I just ordered it. I_M_Legend, thanks for the link, that...

natcc99, its a great experience, isn't it? I also love to see NSX posters in any location... Anyone know what a valve adjustment sets you back at Hill Top these days?

Thanks for the replies. I cant quite tell if the piece in the link is what I need. ^^^^^^^^^^^^This is the piece. It easily pops off and it looks like the female connection on the back of the lever is stripped. I can open the hatch by taking off the lever and turning the male portion of the...

This implicates trademark and copyright protection. When in doubt...do not commercialize.

The engine hatch release lever in my '91 is broken, and my mechanic says the part is NLA. Anyone out there have ideas on where to source a used or aftermarket part? Other options? Thanks Rob

Thanks everyone for the info. I took my car to Foreign Affair and am very happy with the service and work so far. I spotted a silver NA1 when I picked up my car today, assuming it belongs to a fellow NSXPrimer...
