Delivery attempted this AM, so I expect people will receive theirs soon. Just not me yet since nobody was home to sign for it. I'll have it delivered to a local FedEx/Kinko's office so I can pick up tomorrow.

Sorry to hear the news. Another cause of the fan not running is an air pocket around the temp sensor that triggers the fan (sensor doesn't read high enough so doesn't kick on fan). Seems once there is a cooling problem somewhere things start to snowball quickly (initial problem begets more...

I suspect most of these (SOS, Skunk2, other aftermarket, possibly even OEM) originate from Endyn. This suspicion is very speculative - I really have nothing to support this, just Endyn's history with Honda, that they used to make or at least sell this thing direct (and now will not sell direct...

Like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bch5B23_pu0 They also have some pretty good tech in their current production engines... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzVc13UF2s8 Just not affordable.

This is not about your current symptoms, but given that you over-revved you may have compromised the integrity of your oil pump gear set. Look into replacing the oil pump gears with new OEM or aftermarket billet (like from SOS). I would hate to see you get past/correct this current...

Not quite the same thing, but how about I give away the fittings? Free set for someone wanting to replace their lines with zero downtime (or with an incomplete CTSC kit, etc). PM or email me your address if you want. Update: THESE ARE GONE

Makes a lot of sense. I was under the (mistaken) impression that there was offset larger than functionally necessary.

In the UK, 14820-PCB-305 (1991-1999 NSX) and 14820-PCB-003 (2000-2005 NSX) have the same price. http://www.lingshondaparts.com/honda_part_number_search_A10.php?partdes=14820-PCB-305 (£13.50, roughly $17.50) http://www.lingshondaparts.com/honda_part_number_search_A10.php?partdes=14820-PCB-003...

Something between the first two pictures would be good IMO. The fenders on the NSX stick out much more on top as compared to the front/back/bottoms. I don't think it looks good to line tires/wheels up with the top, like the third picture, only to have the tires sticking out everywhere else...

I had not. Thanks for the pointer.

+1 - I like the way you think. A few of my thoughts to add... I've been considering OEM 2002+ wheels (and not aftermarket wheels) because of these factors: 2002+ look is very nice, better than any other OEM including Zenardi. Fit securely to the OEM hubs (no spacers, rings, whatever). Forged...

I would also assume your coil packs are not correctly sealed from the elements (seal missing or installed wrong). Easy fix.

If you want to get rid of flashy and happen to have OEM 2002+ wheels, I'll trade you straight up for my OEM 5 spokes. Similar reasons (getting old?) I went from aftermarket exhaust back to OEM. The relative quiet, absence of head aches on long drives, etc is great. Also never getting rid of...

Hot engine compartment (aftermarket headers) and UV (no engine cover or mesh cover, etc) will also reduce life. The first is related to my desire to ceramic coat my headers and the second (along with not wanting a rattling rear glass) is why I'll always have an engine cover (or if that changes...

McLaren believes they can sell a hybrid with turbo (v8 - total package over 900hp) for well over $1M. I'm excited to see what Honda can do here at a much lower price point and I assume with much higher reliability / much lower maintenance.

Cost and better reliability are the reasons I went OEM as well. A tank every 20 years is not a big deal. Do it every 10-15 if you want to be preventative about things.

What would you ceramic coat? IM? Where would you apply heat shield?

So is there a possibility here that the SC will loose the intake manifold as a heat sink (especially if the manifold is isolated from the heads by the lower gasket and so itself less hot)? Different question, but similar... If the SC is getting pretty hot, I see mentions of IATs up to if not...

My experience was maybe the opposite. Loved the Cayman for having modern brakes, headlights, and suspension...but didn't like the shifter and my complaint about the driving position was not that it was too cramped, but that I felt like I was sitting in a cavern (maybe seat bolsters not narrow...

Similar experience but I think it was more like 1999.

+1.

I've stopped using my Hrant F-16 cover at work because one windy day with a lot of pollen in the air put my car in serious need of a detail. The abrasion of a car cover at 60MPH for many miles...could be very bad.

My Whipple has a coating that looks similar to the second picture (except the coating is intact). It is Teflon. From their site: http://www.whipplesuperchargers.com/content.asp?PageID=85 I would assume a similar purpose for the roots blowers.

This, from the guy who disassembled much of his car to clean it. Mine was purchased 15 years ago (stock) for about what stock ones sell for today. When you consider the dollar has lost over 30% of it's value in that time frame (vehicle would have had to increase in dollar-denominated value...

The shot with the headlights reminded me of the early 90s when our headlights were cool.
