    Acura NSX in the Movies

    Ha I just saw this for the first time on Netflix over the weekend...movie was meh, but was shocked to see the NSX as the first car shown in the movie. After reading an article about the director Neill Blomkamp (big fan of District 9), it appears he's a both an NSX enthusiast and owner...

    My 16K mile 2005 now on BaT

    Did Matt Farrah buy your NSX?? My buddy just sent me an Instagram post showing that he just bought a NSX in this exact same year/spec/mileage...

    I find it interesting that no one mentioned that the second pic in the OP has pop ups on a NA2 bumper...is that a common retrofit?

    Latest cost for Timing belt service

    Science of Speed has everything you need for the TB/WP service in their "90k mile kit" for ~$1k: https://www.scienceofspeed.com/index.php/nsx-engine-service-seal-kit.html Of note, parts availability has been a problem because of the supply chain issues. Not sure if it's still the same...

    So I replaced my fuel pump and...

    Does anyone know the difference between part #s 17040-SL0-A30 and 17040-SL0-L30? They look like the same fitment, but not sure if L30 replaces A30? Regardless, it seems like both parts are on national backorder at the moment...

    17/17 and 17/18 Tire Choices - not much left.

    Appreciate the feedback from everyone! I decided to move forward with the RT660s which were shipped today. I'm sure I'll never come close to using all of the available grip (in 7+ years of ownership, I've only seen the TC light come on once), but it'll be nice to know I won't have to worry...

    17/17 and 17/18 Tire Choices - not much left.

    Thanks guys, appreciate the responses! I've never heard of Maxxis, but why would you recommend the 615Ks over the 660s for a street car? All 3 tires have 200 UTQG ratings so not sure what would make the biggest difference other than outright grip on the street. For further reference, my car...

    17/17 and 17/18 Tire Choices - not much left.

    I have AD08Rs on my car that need replacing, and the only comparable option that is affordable and currently in stock at Tire Rack is the RT660. My car is strictly street driven on the backroads, so I was able to get over 10k miles out of my current set. I'm trying to figure out how the RT660s...

    Anyone running the new SOS TVS Supercharger?

    Were you able to find a link to the "replacement brace" they mentioned? I scoured the website and couldn't find it.

    C&D article - 30th anniversary of NSX debut

    https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a26215498/acura-nsx-anniversary-30-years/ Amazing (and humbling) how journalists still wax poetic about the original NSX.

    NSX cranks but doesn't start

    I ordered mine from Curry Acura. Shipped to my door in 3 days (though I also live pretty close to the dealership). I may order another one and keep it as a spare since it sounds like these are prone to fail.

    NSX cranks but doesn't start

    UPDATE: New main relay arrived last night so I woke up early this AM to try and replace it. Following the NSX Wiki (https://www.nsxprime.com/wiki/Main_Relay), I pulled all the necessary panels off. Mine was the slightly trickier setup since I had to remove the curved piece adjacent to the...

    NSX cranks but doesn't start

    So I was driving on a backroad today when suddenly the car just died on me. At first, I was accelerating as normal, and then the car hit a wall at 6k - almost like a fuel cutoff. Then, 30 seconds later the engine just shut off on me and both the oil pressure and battery warning lights started...

    Sold your NSX to Get What?????

    While I mostly agree with you, the one benefit of the NSX over most of the other cars in this thread is that its value is going up. In my view, if you can afford and have the space to keep it, do so. You'd really only be borrowing it for now if you ever change your mind about selling it later...

    Replacement for Yokohama Advan AD08Rs?

    Agreed, I had the original Star Specs on my older car and loved them. But I found my receipt for the last pair of AD08Rs for the rear wheels and they cost me $250/tire in 2015, so the price gap has widened dramatically. No idea why Yokohama hiked the price up so much between versions. Also...

    Replacement for Yokohama Advan AD08Rs?

    Decided to stay matched and ordered a pair of AD08R-200s from Tire Rack. I haven't cut a single corner on this car, didn't want to start with something as important as tires. They just got delivered to my local tire garage and will be mounted in the next day or so.

    Classic Car plates in CT, worth it?

    The topic of Classic Car plates recently came up and I decided to do some research. Turns out that in CT, if your car has Classic Car plates the local assessor can only value the car up to $500 when determining property tax obligations. Based on the requirements (see here), it would appear...

    Replacement for Yokohama Advan AD08Rs?

    My rear wheels are 18x9 so I'd prefer to keep them at 255/35/18. The tire specs are also as close to the stock 17" tire diameter (255/40/17) as you can get. I called Tire Rack and apparently, Yokohama released a replacement called the AD08R-200 which for some reason is not listed on Tire...

    Replacement for Yokohama Advan AD08Rs?

    I'm currently running AD08Rs at all 4 corners, but I need new rear tires for this season. Looking at Tire Rack, I just saw that Yokohama must have discontinued the AD08R in the size I need (255/35/18). Any idea what other comparable tire options I have? I'm leaning towards the Dunlop Direzza...

    C.J. Wilson's NSX?

    Just watched the first episode of TG America (ehh, btw) that had CJ Wilson as their first guest. He was listing his cars, and included his 93 NSX...which he proclaimed as "one of the best driver's cars ever made." Coming from a guy who has owned some of the greatest supercars ever made...

    Auto Body Wizard - Vince's Auto Body (pbassjo)

    +1 for Joe (pbassjo) and Vince's Auto Body. They do great work. As far as I know, they are strictly a paint/body shop. However, if you need mechanical work done, Larry Bastanza is very close by...
