    Trailering with the NSX

    Re: Trailer FYI, a nice writeup on track trailers in general at http://www.pca.org/hcp/de_trailer.htm They refer to the Southsport trailer in there, but also talk about some DIY setups. Sounds like DIY is the way to go, particularly if you have special requirements, and its often less $$$...

    Trailering with the NSX

    Opening up this new thread to consolidate discussion on towing a track trailer with the NSX. As several folks have gathered, an interesting option for carrying track tires, tools, etc would be to tow a small track trailer. Wanted to consolidate a few of these. (a) tow hitch options -- see...

    Sweet NSX trailer for track events

    Yep... TRAILEX is THE provider for track trailers. THe P-car guys seem to swear by them, and its a GREAT setup, as Tom B points out. My inquiry re: EZ Load is based on my personal interest in something designed for us, ahem, towing girly-men :) Another link to MarkB's Texas Roll-back trailer...

    IIRC, the rear license plate extends down to the edge of the (body color) bumper cover, and it looks like the hitch tongue comes out BELOW it. From some pix I've seen, it looks like the 1" square (?) hole is cut in the portion of the (black) lower valance that has the small "slits" (to...

    Please post more info on this, including PIX from various angles if possible. Also, can you provide contact info on the Hitchcrafters folks, ideally the tech that did the work on your car ?? Depending on which rear valance you have, the 1" square hole (or 1-1/4" depending on which class...

    NSXPO baggage

    Thanks Mark. I sent you a PM/email via NSX Prime, to explore this as a possible option. - Manuel

    Yep... once we get more details I'd be interested in hearing others' opinions (folks with deeper understanding of our chassis' structural integrity) to see where our mount point options really are. If we can rig up some sort of "partially remove-able" setup, then weight is not as big an issue...

    Thanks Jeff -- I look forward to seeing this DIY thread. Yours is probably the 3rd I've seen/heard of, and its GREAT that you're taking the time to document this and share the info. I've seen some cool detach-able hitch fitments on even smaller cars (e.g., Honda S2000, Toyota MR2-Spyder), and...

    NSXPO trip planning: Midwest attendees

    Probably best discussed in another thread, but the make-up of the event HAS changed, with a more "something for everyone" approach. The typical "big annual national xx club" event would include one or more of: - socials, dinners, tours, etc. - track event (!) - car show / concours - group and...

    If Chrysler can build this, why can't Honda?

    And for those that could drop 100 large, does the Honda/Acura badge warrant enough "marque cachet" to step up to this price point, or does the downpayment go to "something Italian" ?? A hypothetical question for most, including me :( Or do they take the "modded used car" route, and build a...

    NSX competition - F430

    Am curious as to why their "new" model does not outperform the current "leader" in this price point -- the Lambo Gallardo. Ferrari does not strike me as a constructor that settles for "second best". Comparatively, the original 360 was a leader in several categories, in several respects...

    NSXPO trip planning: Midwest attendees

    Looks like I probably WON'T be able to go either :( Just started some new projects, and can't make all the dates. However, I still DO plan on being there for the HPDE at WGI -- Monday and Tuesday :D I'll open up a separate thread later to coordinate a convoy out Sunday, if anyone else is doing...

    CGI Track Event - Sept. 13 2004

    A: not too many NSX folks... trunk space-challenged crowd here :) $$ RACE gas is available onsite, and the CITGO and Mobil stations are down the road at Phoenix / 196. Figure getting 10-12 mpg on the track, newbies may get more like 12-15 mpg. If you drive all your sessions, you'll get ~150+...

    baby F16

    preparing one of our "other" cars for the coming cold weather, I decided to keep the black canopy F16 look in the family. Check it out... Color-matching the hardtop is an option, but I think the fighter-inspired look works on this car as well. Comments ??

    Wahoo! Zero to sixty sprint...

    Brings back memories -- I had driven an uncle's late-70s 300D in New Jersey. Front of the line at a light, light turns green -- floor it. Engine makes a BIG roar (diesel with a muffler full of holes)... you think you're doing 50, but you look down and its more like 20+ (!). I barely make it...

    NSXPO Registration Open - Early Bird Discounts

    Signed up online (1 driver, HPDE only), but paid the WRONG amount via Paypal (my error: overpaid). Already got PAYPAL confirmation for $570 (should be $520). Hopefully the transaction posts OK. I got a "sorry you are not registered" message :( Should I just mail / fax the paperwork...

    Do you like your Formula Red NSX?

    1. NO -- wanted a silver/ivory or silver/black. Bought a 91 red/ivory in 1997 after searching for silver for over 6 months. The market on low-mile silver/ivory (91 only) was pretty much cornered, so decided it would be silver/black. My 93 s/b "found" me in 1998, and I've had her ever since...
