    Would NSX hold up at 100 MPH, ENZO did!!!

    :eek: From page 3 I have some involvement in MAW foundation and he does seem like a very generous person. I hope he recovers soon.

    My Photos of Concept Lancer EVO

    Don't care for the current Evo design - looks like they had a 12 year old design it by slapping on as much body work as possible. Now this... Much cleaner and more integrated. Designed from the ground up. Very Audi like. No bulging hood appendages, no St. Louis arch wing, no bondo looking...

    How long do you plan on keeping your 'X'

    My NSX has survived: - Me learning 5 new tracks - Having 3 kids - Nosy parents begging me to sell - A few poor decisions on public roads (thank you God!) - A lift I installed myself (check on her ever so often) - Many mods I did myself (still have boxes of extra parts) And still I love it as...

    Acura of Brookfield - who has experienced the John Vasos service?

    13. matteni (PM'd you my full name). John is a class guy, a friend to anyone whom ever owned an NSX, and for some reason reminds me of Clive Cussler's character Dirk Pitt. A great guy all around.

    Electronic License Plate Blurring Device (Video)

    Yes - no way they will ever track down that Lambo in that color combination in that town with wires coming out of the rear plate! :rolleyes:

    I'm excited... Getting new tires for the NSX!!!!!!!

    I have Drew's abs bleeder tool

    I got your tips right here!!! :) Just did mine for the first time. Pretty easy and took about 1.5 hours. Then I realized 1) I screwed it up (ABS light came on) and 2) I didn't read the directions and 3) I didn't realize I had everything minus the fluid to do the job! :redface: So here are...

    A good week gone bad at the track...

    Sorry to hear about your problems. I have loaned my NSX out on the track to a select few folks but know there are risks to doing so. You sound pretty mature about it considering how it went down. Good luck getting it back on the road. The good news is you have another NSX as a backup. As...

    Windows slow? Here's a 5 minute fix.

    Question: So you do this from the outside of the car - is that right? Also - did you use something to pry the weather strip apart while you shines the light? Finally - did you have a "long" straw for the WD40 or just the one that comes with it? If it was a "long" one - where did you get...

    Carrera GT accident last year

    From what I gathered - the track putting the wall perpendicular to the racing line was completely unacceptable but that pales in comparison to the Ferrari that ventured off the track entry line into the racing line. Many of us would be dead too if people entered the track slowly and came off...

    has anyone ever just tinted the rear window?

    I do but the pictures I have don't really show too much but here is a link to some pictures: Wash and Wax Set Pictures Basically I don't run with a engine cover and I wanted some UV protection for the hoses. Mine is not very dark since I wanted to see in. Hope this helps.

    I need a car! Toyota Yaris? other??

    Re: residuals... I would combine some of the advice. I would look for a used car under warranty with low millage and around 2 years old. Should be reliable and have modern safety and potentially decent millage. Now the "weird" part. Find the highest (worst) depreciating models (MSN Autos...

    Introducing THE BANGLE BLOCKER

    Bangle has been "promoted" and does not supposedly influence design anymore. In Germany they use his name as a verb for basically saying you were beaten with an ugly stick - "you Bangled that painting". What's worse - other companies are starting to copy it. Dare I say even the Acura RL...

    FORD GT Replica? Look!!

    This company has a booth at the Monterrey Historic Races. Last year they had a lot of excitement and information about the "new" GT40. You can even get it with the Gurney Bubble! :) Their company manufacturing techniques are world class and the quality of the hand built and hand crafted cars...
