Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade. Mhm-hmm.

I'm interested in same answers. The Christmas eve posting left me under the impression that with TunerProRT and the Ostrich v2 one could flash a modified BIN to stock ECU...but maybe I misunderstand and ones needs to install a ZIF socket and flashable EPROM. Is your NSX modded in any way right...

If you install smaller pulley (increase boost over standard package) larger injectors and some tuning may be required. Larger injectors being necessary to provide sufficient fuel at the higher boost levels. The stock injectors are already pretty strung out by the base CTSC setup and trying to...

My experience with their Mini Bomber on another vehicle (I plan to also use with NSX) was positive. Drive included 6000ft of elevation gain. Temp changes, elevation gains (lower pressure outside cup), dirt, plunger lube, cup condition, surface condition - all of these can contribute to...

Matt, In post 77 you go into some detail about how it may be possible to get around fuel-cut/CEL when ECU sees more then 3v from the MAP sensor...and having a no-boost/boost flag to tell the ECU to reference separate "boost tables" for fuel/timing. What does it take to get from this lovely...

Noted, moving my post...

I'm interested if he can add the necessary bits to this to enable tuning for boost using OEM ECU (i.e. CTSC + RDX injectors + stock FPR). ;) - - - Updated - - - Does a Dynojet 224 xLC Eddy Current Load Control fit the bill? There is one here: http://denverhorsepower.com/Dyno_Services.html

Wow. Amazing update and gift!!!

Exactly. Take a 1-2 upshift. Assume shift occurs at 6000RPM and wheel speed of those two gears at that RPM is 30 and 60mph, then evaluate these options... A: Instantaneous disengagement of odd-shaft clutch at exact same time as engagement of even-shaft clutch. B. Fully disengage clutch on odd...

Not owners, but Car and Driver editors did it twice with two different NSX demo cars... http://jalopnik.com/how-car-and-driver-crashed-both-of-their-nsx-test-cars-1679357347

Unless someone decided to give them descrete inputs controlled by separate clutches. AKA a dual-clutch transmission, which we are talking about. Like CVTs, DCTs are banned by F1. DCTs can (and do) actually achieve this. It has been achieved. The sequential transmissions on F1 cars are so...

This is the whole point of the DTC. You have two different gears engaged at the same time, on two different clutches, and clutches swap status (engaged vs not). Sure, in comfort mode they are going to let off the throttle and ease things a bit, but in performance mode that's unnecessary. Per...

Since designers can now choose between more options for tail lights than "round" or "rectangle" - they should. Part of reason rear of HSC concept looked horrible from behind are the round lights. 458 may be last car to ever pull it off.

So widest of them all, and only original NSX and McLarens are shorter.

length 176 inches (4470mm) width 76.4 inches (1940mm) height 47.8 inches (1215mm) wheelbase 103.5 inches (2630mm) How do these compare with other vehicles (old NSX, R8, 458, 12C, 650S, GTR, 911, Cayman, etc)?

I'm thinking the new NSX would be a joke if they hadn't.

I like the exterior. Wish they had stayed closer to the concept with the interior. That center vent thing is not pretty, steering wheel too bulky, and gone is the beautiful CF that elegantly wrapped around the passenger from console, across dash, to become the door handle. I'm sure the colors...

Someone early on mentioned $8000/month income as baseline. No way. Given income tax (federal + state) and sales tax we're talking about 18-24 months of such a person's income going to only this car and taxes. People gotta eat too, ya know. Folks who have been in that income bracket long enough...

NADA says 2005 MSRP was $89,000. Adjusted for inflation that is about $111,000 today. Prices of the first gen model tracked inflation surprisingly well (same exercise with $60k 1991 gets you $108k today). Source and Source (I used 2004 and 2014 to get 10-year span since 2015 not yet...

No, I think you misunderstand. The mechanical connection I speak of is having the ability to decouple the engine from the transmission in a variety of situations, like the one I gave, by pressing in with your left foot. That connection/point-of-control is lost

Your 2014 MDX is 2WD? I've been meaning to drive the new RLX to compare with my 2005 RL and get a taste for the tech in next NSX (not actually in market for new sedan). I fear the new RLX may not handle as well as the RL, given the relatively low amount/percent of power it's able to send to the...

Idle will be zero, when stop/start is enabled.

I've driven a DCT exotic. WONDERFUL, but with non-trivial trade-offs. Pros: Perfect shifting (smooth in normal mode, crazy fast in sport). No idiot driver going to burn up clutch quickly. No idiot driver going to money shift. Auto mode when you feel like it. Cons: Losing mechanical...

I think it's going faster than you perceive. The first turn shown is very prevalent in 'ring videos (common place to crash). Seems to be moving pretty quick and yet well-planted (not bouncing/leaning/snapping around).

I kind of swore off aftermarket exhausts after my experience with the droning (CT, RM/B&B) and corrosion (RM/B&B). I wonder if corrosion is the reason we see sports car makers (corvette, for example) going straight from carbon steel with aluminized coatings to titanium and skipping stainless...
